It is difficult to jump straight into an advanced level math class say calc 3 as a first semester freshman. Give this some more thought. Learned alot about leadership, engineering, manufacturing, and hard work. It's a good thing to be a part of. Gives you an opportunity to do something relaxing that you enjoy or are interested in and lets you meet people outside of your engineering folks.
Get on the band wagon early. Go talk to career services at your school or the engineering department about how their co-op system works.
Start applying immediately after your first semester, given that you have nice and high grades. On most university campus' there are career fairs in the fall and winter. For sure attend the fall career fair, even though you're a 1st semester freshman with no gpa and no real experience - it'll give you a good way to talk to companies, get a feel for interviewing, and get an opportunity to put yourself out there.
Who knows, it may even lead to an opportunity for the summer. Many companies may even interview you and then wait around for your 1st semester or first 2 semester's grades before extending an offer for a co-op. Most advisors are not really any good, all they want to do is tell you what the next course in the sequence is taht you should take, which anyone can do upon examining their degree's flowchart.
I hope that you have a better advisor, but the reality is at big schools you may have 5 advisors and theyre responsible forhundreds of students. It's hard to get real worthwhile info from them. The best is, find a professor or 2 you can get to know well, talk to them, get feedback from them, bounce ideas off of them, and get their feedback. This will also help in the long run when you need a recommendation. Idk about your school but im assuming most engineering schools are similar and its EASY to get behind and end up graduating late..

Like so many issues in K education, the reasons that we have gotten to the current state are manifold, and reversing trends is difficult.
But if we want to advance STEM education and continue to produce a high-quality technical workforce we must confront this issue. We need to stop the rush to calculus and focus instead on a thorough grounding in algebra, geometry and functions. Calculus is one of the great intellectual achievements of the last years; shortchanging it by reducing its beauty and utility to a list of problems to be checked off a rubric does a disservice to everyone.

For stem cells, bigger doesn't mean better 3 hours ago. Even back in the sixties, educators realized that the system was being geared toward a very homogeneous group of students—white, middle-class, and male.
You can go back and read papers from those who created this system who saw that there might be problems down the road as a larger and more diverse population of students enrolled in postsecondary education. A major source of inequity in mathematics education is access to calculus in high school.
The ubiquitous importance, yet inequitable availability, of calculus in high school has become a serious problem. Students who have not been exposed to the difficult concepts in calculus, who have not been introduced to the basic terminology or to the big ideas, are at a considerable disadvantage. It seems to be a national expectation that a significant percentage of students will be lost—indeed, should be lost—from a STEM pathway after taking college calculus.
When you look at the data by race, ethnicity, and socioeconomic status, the current calculus-as-gatekeeper system becomes even more problematic. White high school students take calculus at over twice the rate that Black high school students do.
Given the patterns of inequitable access to advanced mathematics coursework in high school, the data is not surprising. White students take AP Calculus at over twice the rate of Black students. In addition, white students are three times more likely to take the AP Calculus exam than are Black students.
