Should I still apply for internships if I have no experience, side projects, or extracurriculars?
I'm a 2nd year EE student trying to transfer into software engineering, thus I want a software internship. I know some basic stuff like Java, C, Python and algorithms and data structures from classes, and decent cGPA of 3.6, but I have absolutely no experience, side projects, or extracurriculars involving programming. My school projects involving electronics aren't very impressive either and certainly not relevent. Obviously I should aim for more programming experience, but right now I don't have any. Should I still bother applying to internships even without any experience, projects, or ECs? Is it even possible to get one at this point or should I just focus on side projects and learning more for now? Also, getting ECE internships isn't really an option either as there are way more software positions than there are ECE positions. Even if that wasn't the case, I'd be in the same situation, but with a few unimpressive school projects. ----------------- Edited by uno online 2 days ago

Mechanical Engineers, What was the reason you choose Mechanical Engineering?
Mechanical engineers, what was the reason you chose to graduate as a mechanical engineer?, do you like your career? As a job?, do you think you made the right choice picking mechanical engineering instead of civil, software, etc. (other branches of engineering). Im a high school student that is about to graduate and have always been fascinated by the mechanical engineering field but have feared that is a long and tough path to take, so I decided that I could choose some other type of engineering as a compromise, I’m still an engineer just not mechanical, but now I’m having second thoughts and I’m on the fence about not picking mechanical engineering as my major. Please help me out

Going down the right track ?
Hey there, I'm going to study electrical engineering at a top university abroad (t30) and plan to take a minor in applied AI in my second year. So for this, I have started working on Python, Java, and C++ (as I have already completed C back in high school) and plan to work on VHDL afterwards for digital hardware design and test engineering. I'm sure there are so many potential electrical engineers in this group who know if I'm going down the right track. TIA!

How can I get a research opportunity or internship with a professor or company as a high school student?
Hi, I am an high school junior interested in conducting a research or interning in the engineering field this summer, but I’m not sure where to start or how to go about it. I contacted a lot of engineering firms around me and most of them either don’t do internships or don’t have any openings. I don’t have any research questions I specifically want to study, so I was thinking about emailing professors at nearby universities/colleges about joining their research but I’m afraid it might only be limited to students of that university with some sort of experience. I’m also worried that it might be too late since the university’s spring semester around me (their current semester) has just ended. Should I still try and email professors about to join their research, and if so, how? Or should I keep contacting more firms around me? What do you think I should do?

What careers would allow me to create something that will change the world?
I'm interested in math and science, but love writing and traveling. I don't like jobs that are not hands-on, or that are lifeless - in other words, jobs like mechanical engineering or computer science which don't deal with life. I want to get out of "the matrix", but I can't for the life of me find or decide on a career where I can pretty much be guaranteed to create something that will change the world while eliminating the poor prospect of sitting on a computer all day.

Is it a good idea to put some of the modules/subjects taken at college in the resume?
I am a fresh graduate in the midst of finding a suitable job. While searching various positions, I have found that some companies require knowledge in a particular area. For instance if I am applying for an Inspection Engineer position which requires knowledge in Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) methods, can I describe about my materials science modules taken and its projects I did in my CV/resume? I only have a degree in mechanical engineering but I have learnt about NDT methods in my materials science modules. I don't have any hands-on experience in NDT so I am unsure whether stating my modules would be effective. #engineering #resume #careers #materials-science
Is changing my schedule worth it for technical school ?
My school offers a program where juniors and seniors can apply to leave for their first two blocks to go to technical school. They earn four elective credits per year for this and can even earn college credit. They still have to earn enough credits to graduate, so sacrifices have to be made. In my case I would like to apply for their engineering and robotics program. Since I’ll only have two classes a day, I won’t be able to take a lot of the classes I want to. These are AP Calc C (I can take BC the previous year instead of AB), two additional years of French (including French 4 and AP), two years of band (I’ve been doing band since fourth grade; I play seven instruments), AP Comp Sci A, AP Chem (I’ve loved chemistry since third grade), and AP Psych. Will this look bad for college? Is it worth it?
