Hi,

I was wondering how much am I hurt by not doing an internship this summer. I am doing Computer Engineering and I am going to be a sophomore in the fall. I attended every career fair in the spring semester but I didn’t get a single call back for an interview. I knew I didn’t have any experience and only had one semester worth of course work to show employers so it was going to be tough to get an internship in ECE. Many of my freshmen friends in ECE got a good summer internship because of their previous experiences in high school. I am kinda worried if I am left behind by not doing an internship this summer.
On the bright side, I did get a position as a Teaching Fellow in the fall. I am also going to be doing a software development project under a professor at my school.
Is it possible to get a good summer internship after my sophomore year.

Thanks for any advice
