Resources


Purdue’s Industrial Roundtable is a very large career fair held at that institution every year with a diverse representation from engineering companies.  What’s useful is that they produce a booklet detailing the names of companies for each engineering discipline and the kinds of positions they are hiring (full/part time, internships, etc.).  Even though the career fair is for Purdue, this list and detailed information can be quite useful to any job-seekers.  Click on “Download Guidebook” at:
