I will also second @eyemgh . I don’t know any female CPE students who haven’t had an internship as an underclassman. Engineering is tough, and there is certainly some very strong competition for women in engineering at Poly, but there’s quite a bit of visibility for women at Poly. Any company in the Bay area (Especially Apple and Google) seems to recruit women heavily. There’s also VERY helpful SWE networking events that almost guarantee interviews if you attend. All of the girls I know that got internships, got at least one of them through those events. (Separate from career fairs)

I know a few of those who helped put on the SWE event you attended and I will tell you that they, and the others, are not an anomaly.
