I’m an engineer. Here are my must haves for an engineering student: 1) a computer with 8GB ram (16 if you do a lot of heavy simulations/CAD work) 2) willingness to learn from failure. 3) genuine curiosity

I don’t think 2 3 and 4 are very useful. Knowing a couple cad tools is good but not critical. For an ee tech maybe it’s more useful.
