What is the Career Fair?
The Department of Architectural Engineering, in conjunction with the Consortium for the Advancement of Building Sciences (CABS), is pleased to announce the 20th annual Penn State AE Career Fair. The event will be held on September 24, 2013 at The Bryce Jordan Center on the University Park campus. Students from all AE options will be present representing the construction, lighting/electrical, mechanical, and structural disciplines.
The AE Career Fair is designed to put companies in touch with our 5th year seniors, as well as students who are available for co-op, summer and advanced degree (graduate) industry and research positions. The AE Career Fair brings together companies interested in recruiting students specializing in all aspects of the design and construction of buildings. 126 companies attended the 2012 Career Fair, representing many of the largest and best known AE, consulting engineering, contractor, facilities, building product manufacturers and construction management firms in the building industry.
More than 430 students attended the 2012 AE Career Fair. In addition to the AE students who participated, Professor Robert Holland, who assisted in the planning and set up for the event, coordinated participation by the Penn State architecture program, in particular students from his professional practice class. Students from a number of other Penn State programs were also in attendance including a contingent from civil engineering.
