2007 Career Fair
On Nov. 13, 2007, the Architectural Engineering Career Fair was held at Rec Hall on campus. Once again, it created a day of upbeat excitement and energy as companies sought to secure qualified students for full-time and summer jobs.
It was a highly successful event. This year we had 141 companies attending the fair, 40 of which were Corporate Partners. Well over 600 students, ranging from freshmen to graduate students attended. As in previous years, we were pleased to welcome students from North Carolina A&T State University as well as students from the Penn State Department of Architecture. Student from other Penn State engineering departments, such Worthington-Scranton were also in attendance. This year, as a pilot program, we were also pleased to have students attending from the Civil Engineering Department at Bucknell University in Structures and Construction.
The Career Fair Social was held in the beautiful Hintz Family Alumni Center on campus and was well attended. The Social gave companies and AE seniors an opportunity to mingle in an informal setting.
It is always great to see the seniors and underclassmen become excited as the day of the career fair draws near. For many students, the AE Career Fair is the primary source for meeting and securing interviews with top firms in the AE industry. And for many companies, the AE Career Fair provides the opportunity to meet some of the best prepared engineering students. We look forward to continuing this relationship in the years to come.
The 2008 AE Career Fair will be held at the Bryce Jordan Center on campus in late October 2008. Further details will be mailed
out later this Spring.
