How to learn Computer Architecture design?

Question

Hello! Long time lurker here.I have a question, as a first year EE student who is not in a top university (and in a third world country), how could I prepare for a Computer Architecture design position in the far future? What are the best resources to learn? What should I focus on? I realize that I will need a PhD and a lot of experience; I am asking for the things that I should do now to begin the journey.I tried to search the web, however I could not find much.Thank you in advance.

If I were in your shoes, I'd search for books and online courses. Here's a couple I found on GitHub:
Modern Computer Architecture and Organization - https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Modern-Computer-Architect...
Introduction To 80x86 Assembly Language And Computer Architecture - Richard C. Detmer - https://github.com/abhinavkorpal/awesome-computer-science-EB... (PDF)
Some video courses:

Look at fabien sanglards website.https://fabiensanglard.net/ he talks very informatively about a lot of different computer stuff. A lot from the 16 bit era. I would imagine you'd fine it interesting and informative

I am a SWE so I don't do computer architecture design professionally but I have found Professor Onur Mutlu's lectures on Youtube very interesting and helpful.
