Welcome
The Engineering Career Resource Center (ECRC) provides
career planning services to engineering and computer science
undergraduate and graduate students and College alumni. The
ECRC coordinates career advising services, career resource
materials, workshops, employer presentations, campus
interviews and online job postings. We assist with all levels of
employment including full-time positions at varying experience levels, summer and
part-time jobs, internships and cooperative education assignments.
The University of Michigan College of Engineering graduates are among the best
trained and most prepared in the world. As the career liaison for students and
alumni, the ECRC provides leadership, resources and networks to link employers
with highly qualified candidates in a broad range of engineering disciplines. Over
4,000 campus interviews are managed through the ECRC annually.
We hope this guide will provide you with an overview of the many ways in which
you can partner with the College of Engineering to enhance your presence on
campus. While job postings, campus interviews and career fairs are great ways to
connect with candidates, we also welcome the opportunity to help you develop
an individualized campus recruiting strategy. In addition to recruiting information,
you will find our most recent data on the post-graduation, intern and Cooperative
Education Program (Co-op) activities of 2013-2014.
On behalf of the ECRC, we look forward to partnering with you during the
2014-2015 academic year.
Sincerely,
Kerri Boivin
