Razorback Engineers Find Employment

Engineering EXPO brought more than 60 employers representing both large, international corporations, and small, local businesses to the University of Arkansas September 15 and 22, to conduct interviews and network with Razorback engineers.

Walmart, Sam's Club, the United States Navy, U.S. Army Corp of Engineers, Pepsico, and Georgia-Pacific are just a few of the larger businesses that arrived.

During the week, the corporations teamed up with registered student organizations, such as ASCE and AiCHE, to give students context for company goals and positions open.

Students often attend the EXPO as freshmen and sophomores, landing co-op and internship opportunities that put them on a track for success.

By senior year, a number of engineering upperclassmen have completed two or more internships, and typically have multiple offers for full-time employment.

Students can prepare for the professional event by attending the Annual Mock Interview Event, hosted in the Industrial Engineering Department. The Career Development Center offers a variety of interview and professional dress preparation opportunities, as well.
