Good luck! I've got a computer engineering degree. It's a great field.

The two courses I find myself using way more then I expected in the job are DSP and linear algebra. If DSP isn't part of your core I highly recommend it as an elective. Having a deep understanding of Nyquist frequency folding and Fourier transforms is highly useful.

For study aids I highly recommend the Schaum's Outlines books for your subject. They focus on having a lot of problems with detailed solutions. They helped me a lot on understanding the how and why of solving problems.
