About
Welcome! Our dedicated staff is ready to assist undergraduate and graduate Engineering students with a variety of career-related needs.
The Career Development and Experiential Learning Center is located in Marston 112. Use Handshake to: 1) make an appointment with our staff; 2) see our event calendar; and 3) view the job/internship board.
Summer Hours: The Career Center will be open daily from 9am-4pm during the summer months. We will do our best to have staff in every day, but highly recommend/encourage students schedule an appointment on Handshake to ensure staff is available. Please note, appointments can be in-person or virtually during the summer, depending on the student’s preference.
Services:
Throughout the year, the Career Center hosts events including: career & internship fairs; professional development workshops; corporate info sessions/on-site interviews; tech talks; and plant tours.
We offer one-on-one counseling (by appointment) to assist Engineering students with resume and cover letter writing, career fair preparation, and mock interviews. We also connect students with opportunities including service learning, research, design team projects, student societies, and study abroad.
