In scientific endeavors such as engineering, it is important to get a running start on things and be prepared. As freshman, people sometimes suffer from shock for the first semester and their grades suffer. Sometimes people never recover from this shock, mainly because they find themselves behind and just give up. The key is to set schedules for study even when things seem easy.
As someone else sagely mentioned, managing your time is critical. As an engineering student, you have all the basic courses to take in your first several years and it isn't fun. Setting good habits early will help. No one can make you do that except yourself. It's called self discipline.
Discover your weak points and allot time so you can study those more. I suggest that you spend some time on each subject every day: your job is to master the subject rather than just get by.
Be prepared for each class by studying the subject matter before you attend the lecture. Personally I discovered that it was easiest for me if I read the lesson the same day as the class but in early morning classes, the night before is sufficient. I suggest studying early and getting enough sleep rather than studying late at night. Lastly letting up for even a class or two can be fatal: don't lag behind and be aware that emergencies which demand your time elsewhere will come up.
Make a schedule and keep it. In the beginning especially it will take twice as much time as you thought it would. It may take several semesters to excel in subjects which you find difficult, but perseverance pays off: a C or B this semester in Differential Calculus can result in an A in Integral Calculus or Differential Equations.
I pass this story on for what it's worth from a Strength of Materials course. The professor gave a test and it had three questions. You missed one and you got a 66%. I had made a stupid mistake on one question, but I had solved the equation properly. I asked the professor for partial credit. He looked at me critrically for a moment before he said, "Mr. B, when you build a bridge and the bridge falls down, you don't receive partial credit." I thought he was being terribly unfair. However it was the best lesson of my life. I was tired and I made a stupid mistake which resulted in an F. Of course I was angry, but I eventually learned and salvaged a B. I hope you never have to go through that.

First off, and I mean this in all seriousness, learn to write. I found that my work in college did not prepare me for writing in the business world. I have gone back and looked at some of the reports that I wrote as a senior and was appalled by them. My writing skills have vastly improved in the two years since I graduated.

As far as studying, take lots and lots and lots and lots of notes. Most professors teach what they want you to learn for the test. I found my text books to be mostly reference.

When I started school, I was told that for every hour in class, I would need to spend three outside of class. Im sure this is true for some, but I didnt need that much time.

Finally, show up for class as much as possible. Even in the huge classes, professors know who is and is not there (regardless of what they might say. I was a TA, and I can tell you that they know). I had several professors that would pass students who showed up regularly and put in an effort even though they didnt get the material. Showing up for class is perhaps the most important part of learning to study.

Also, watch out for integral calculus. It sucks hardcore.

Congrats that you are Engineering college student which means you are tomorrow's technocrat.But if you don't dont perform well , last year campus selection may disappoint you.
To study well 1.Make a very good workable timetable.
2.Give equal importance to all your subjects.
3.Keep few hours for your leisure sleep etc. 4.Manage your time well
5.Have a "shopping list"of tasks that you should be doing.Be very aware always of your time Table which will tell you what you should be reading at that particular time.6.Be very particular that there is no compromise with your valuable time.

Time management is very important for studies.Sketch a schedule to allot maximum time to your studies.Write and practice your lessons.Do combine -study with any of your classmate who is bright at studies.Work hard and complete your day-to-day portions.
Write down important maths formulae on a chart paper and stick it to your wall.Just glance at it daily for sometime ,and you can easily remember formulae.
Consult your lecturers to clarify your doubts.Also discuss with your classmates about subject related topics.
Concentrate while the proffessor teaches.
You should allot some time to enjoy your college-days and chill out with friends during weekends.
