The 2019 Civil and Environmental Engineering Career & Internship Fair
The American Society of Civil Engineers, American Academy of Environmental Engineers and Scientists, and Chi Epsilon, the National Honor Society for Civil Engineers, are holding the 2019 Annual Fall Civil and Environmental Engineering Career Fair!
The CEE Career Fair provides potential employers a unique opportunity to network with students and alumni. The Fair also enables public acknowledgement for these organizations' support for UC Irvine's Civil and Environmental Engineering department and affiliated clubs. The Fair serves as a platform for recruiting highly motivated CEE students for full time, part time, or internship positions. Last year, more than 200 Civil and Environmental engineering students stood in line to meet with recruiters from many respected and successful organizations from both the public and private sectors. This gave the students a unique opportunity to gain valuable networking experience as well as connections that will be a key part of their job search after graduating.
This event will be held at the University of California, Irvine on Tuesday, October 22nd, 2019 from 11:00 am to 3:00 pm at the UCI Student Center in Emerald Bay. Companies may register through the UCI Eventbrite page, or by sending a physical check to the address specified in the packet. Any additional details, such as registration deadlines, may be found in the registration packet at http://www.aaees.org/_downloadcenter/studentchapter/CEECIFRegistration.pdf.
If you have any questions regarding our event, please feel free to contact Andrew Ly, Professional Outreach, ASCE UC Irvine Student Chapter at uci.ceecareerfair@gmail.com.
