Engineering Opportunities?

Colleges & Universities University of California - Los Angeles

<p>Hey, I was wondering if there were lots of opportunities for internships or job recruitments for UCLA engineering. I understand that UCLA ranks a little low in the whole USNews ranking stuff, but I really want to know if UCLA engineering has good connections/opportunities.</p>

2

<p>from what i heard at the engineering open house, there are LOTS of opportunities and they do have many sponsors etc.</p>

3

<p>The UCLA Engineering Career Fairs are swamped with engineering and other companies from all over California and even some from the East coast. This is especially true for Computer Science and Electrical Engineering. To put a figure on it, last quarter’s fair seemed like it had almost a 1:5 recruiter-attendee ratio, with one-third being Computer Science and Electrical Engineering companies. :rolleyes:</p>

<p>how is mechanical engineering at ucla?</p>

5

<p>Yeah there are lots of East coast companies and I love it! :P</p>

<p>When I found out that my professor was recruiting students for internships, I knew there were gonna be many opportunities up ahead!</p>

<p>xD Chem Engineering has its own career liaison. He said the chances of getting an internship were ~90%, and that you could get one the summer of your freshman year. Also, since it’s ChemE, oil companies target you, so you get paid really well (relatively speaking)</p>

7

<p>how is it for civil engineering?</p>

8

<p>chevron looks for first year interns, but i missed the deadline which was INSANELY early, like october 5 or something</p>

9

<p>Wait, doesn’t school start on September 21st or something? That’s like, within the first two weeks O_____O;;</p>

10

<p>exactly. you wouldn’t know unless you were really close with bill and really really really into this whole game.</p>

11

<p>most of the companies at the engineering career fair I went to were EEs and Comp Scis</p>

12

<p>How are the internship opportunities for aerospace engineering majors?</p>

13

<p>I’d imagine the fact that Boeing, Northropp Grumann, and Lockheed Martin all have something in LA would suggest that you’d be able to find one, given enough time/research.</p>

<p>For civil engineering, the job opportunities are quite good. They have CE career fairs in January, and again in March, where many internships are offered.</p>

<p>Upon graduation, the Civil Engineering job prospects are extremely good. </p>
