Take it from the computer engineer, as long as you have a phillips-head screwdriver you'll be set! As for software there are a lot of different tools that you'll need. I'll post the majority of what I use later, but you must have a USB flash drive with some copy of Linux (Knoppix or Ubuntu (my choices)) because there will be a time when you will be unable to boot into Windows and you will have to recover files!

I used to do it.

 

Something like this will do: http://www.handtool-cn.com/img/upfilepic/200811718561397183.jpg

 

You might want to get yourself one of these: http://ep.yimg.com/ca/I/directron_2125_564854900 ... I think it is called RJ45 crimper.

 

Of course, you better check with your IT instructor before you buy.... in case you have to buy something specific for your course.
