Technical Interview Resources

In the engineering world, the technical interview is quite common because it enables employers to assess your technical skills through a demonstration of how you solve problems, reach conclusions, and incorporate novel thinking into your approach.

ECRC Guide to Graduate School Process

If you’re interested in pursuing a graduate degree, the ECRC has created a guide to provide you with an overview of different graduate programs and provide insight into the graduate school application process.

Make the Most of your Summer Break

Develop New Skills
Diversify Your Experiences
  • Consider job/volunteer opportunities unrelated to engineering that will allow you to build transferable skills such as communication, teamwork, organization, and leadership
  • Non-technical jobs and volunteer experiences can show your additional layers as an individual, while also demonstrating responsibility, timeliness, and your ability to contribute to an organization’s goals

Professional Engineer License

If you are planning to work in more traditional engineering industries, perform consulting work, or work for the government, you may want to consider becoming licensed as a Professional Engineer. 

Master’s Degree Students
