Listen to the conversation we had with two members of the Engineering Career Centre Team. We discussed workshops, activities, and events that the ECC hosts

the importance of networking

and we spent a bit of time talking about the TechFair – a great opportunity for Engineering students

! We also explored how advantageous the Alumni Service is for our Engineering grads – support is always available

When looking at Engineering Majors at McGill, a few programs are called co-op programs (Materials, Mining, and Software Engineering are the three co-op programs). Meaning internships are mandatory parts of those degrees. For our other Engineering programs (Bioengineering, Chemical, Civil, Computer, Electrical, Mechanical, and Bioresource Engineering), internships are optional. We had a good discussion about what these differences mean

and how internships are recognized in all our programs

Good advice was shared for international students looking for these opportunities

and how the French language plays a role (or doesn’t!) in Montreal positions

Because the ECC team are such good advisors, we discussed the importance of having a good job search strategy, using the available resources

and how looking at smaller companies can be the best thing to start your career

The episode ends with a chat about Bioresource Engineering – the only Engineering program offered at Macdonald Campus

career difference for those interested in Computer, Electrical, and Software Engineering

and why you shouldn’t overlook Mining and Materials Engineering
