Fall Career Fairs for Engineering Majors

Student Life
Career Fair 2024

The College of Engineering and the University will be hosting several exciting career fairs this semester. In addition to directly helping students obtain jobs and internships, these events offer a unique opportunity to practice interacting with potential employers and develop an understanding of the employment landscape for engineering students.  

Students looking for help preparing for career fairs are encouraged to consult the Engineering Career Development and Experiential Learning Center, which offers a wide array of services that help students achieve professional success, including one-on-one counseling, mock interviews, and resume and career fair prep workshops. 

Hosted by the College of Engineering, the two-day Engineering Career Fair will be held on Monday, September 30 and Tuesday, October 1, from 12pm-4pm in the Campus Center Auditorium. Approximately 50 companies will be present each day, including Bristol Myers Squibb, Delsys, Epic, ISO New England, MACOM, QE Solar, Sensata, Verizon, Dell, Marvell, and Saint Gobain. These companies will be looking for summer interns in addition to co-op and full-time job candidates, so all engineering majors, in all years, are invited to attend. Students will be able to have free professional headshots taken during this event.

The Civil and Environmental Engineering Career Fair will be held the next day—Wednesday, October 2, from 10am-3pm, also in the Campus Center Auditorium—and will feature over 70 companies and organizations, including CDM Smith, Eversource, MassDOT, Haley & Aldrich, Skanska, and Tighe & Bond.
