Hey /diy/,
I'm a few years later than most but I'm heading for university to study Computer-Aided Engineering.
I've been out of education for a while, any suggestions on topics to brush up on / skills to learn / books to read?
Starting in September but I want to be prepared so I don't fall behind all the kids who're fresh out of college. (UK Education system)
I'd say brush up on A level maths and physics or whatever they have over there. The rest should be very straight forward because it'll be new to all the other kids too.
In the first year they shoved calculus and linear algebra down my throat so it won't be a bad idea to refresh those topics
what the hell is computer aided engineering? isn't all engineering done on a computer now?
Anyway, know calculus and review physics. Wouldn't be bad to learn some elementary Matlab skills and other programming languages, C is the most applicable to lots of stuff in my opinion.

So, drafting?
Review trigonometry and algebra.

This. 99% of every calculus and physics question is trig and algebra. May also want to get familiar with bitwise math but they'll teach you that.
