<p>If his interest is computer or electrical engineering, Santa Clara’s location in Silicon Valley may be of interest when it comes time for internship and post-graduation job recruiting.</p>
<p>Internships may be another issue when doing a 3/2 plan – engineering employers won’t be visiting the “3” school looking for potential interns, and may give applicants from such schools less priority due to not having taken any engineering courses. For students planning on graduate school in engineering, the less time to get into undergraduate research may also be a consideration. Of course, this is not a complete roadblock, since many students transferring to engineering schools as juniors from community colleges do manage to find internship or research experience, later getting good post-graduation jobs or going to graduate schools.</p>
