Thanks for a great year! - Engineering Career Center

April 11, 2022

         Thanks for a great year!
Hey Engineering & CS students!

The semester is winding down. Since you all will be focused on exams
and end-of-year projects for the next few weeks, this will be the last
issue of The Spark until Fall 2022.

The ECC is open year-round, so you will still have access to career
advising (by appointment only) during the summer! The best way to
meet with us during the summer is by scheduling an appointment on
Handshake, since we will not have drop-in hours from May 8 - August
19.

Graduating seniors: you still have access to all that the ECC has to offer
for up to three years after graduation. This includes career fairs, events,
advising appointments, Handshake, and more!

Good luck on finals!

Sincerely,
Th ECC team

                                               1

It's okay if you didn't get a summer
   internship yet. You can still use the
summer to build your engineering skills!

1. Take a free online course

2. Complete a Microinternship

3. Volunteer in your community

                          2

4. Ask your professor if they need extra
help in their research lab

5. Grow your network by doing
informational interviews with the ECC's
Networking guide!

View the ECC guide

6. Keep applying for internships, part-
time, and freelance gigs!
