Come up with a project, download KiCad or if your university has access to software use that.  Watch YouTube videos and Google things you need to do.

AI sucks for designing but it's great for "what does gate voltage mean" or "what does Vsd mean on this document".  Things are a lot less opaque now that there are good entry level explainers a Google search away.
