• A detailed job search resource is made available through the PSU Career Center. It includes full-time and internship job listings as well as jobs available on campus. It is for PSU students only and registration is required. The searchable database is very easy to use and allows searches against engineering and CS disciplines. All job and internship opportunities received by ECS will be posted on CareerConnect.

• MCECS Departments

• Each department in MCECS has a process for disseminating job and internship opportunities to their students. The process varies by department, but may include use of list servs, the department web site, department e-mail, and job posting bulletin boards. All jobs and internship opportunities received by ECS will be posted to individual departments based on the academic discipline requested. It is important to know what process your department uses, and that you check for new postings frequently.
