Of course those companies recruit at UA Huntsville. They are all local employers there. Most companies interview at schools local to their operations. Headquarters of Space and Missile Defense Command (US Army) is in Huntsville, and there is a lot of support activity there from defense contractors. LockMart also has a major center for IR sensors in Orlando, so of course they would recruit at UCF. UCF also has the well-respected Center for Research in Electro-Optics and Lasers (CREOL), which has excellent faculty (including emeritus Michael Bass, author of the seminal text “Lasers”). None of this is hugely surprising.
