Our Senior (CC@E) at the University of Washington. This report Survey yielded a 63% response rate. Résumé serves as a baseline for future services and offerings, workshops and mock interviews have been prevalent as we supplement and support our 10 departments in on our schedules, but so has programming around the realm of professional development. Our first-year student strengths & navigating workplace culture, as focus was to understand what was currently in well as participation on university-wide groups, such existence, and like true engineers, gather as much as the Student Life Professional Development data as possible, so we are proud of the relationships Committee, Husky 100 Selection Committee & the that we have begun across campus. Undergraduate Internship Advisory Council.
The CC@E’s unique dual-reporting structure helps us As our office looks to the future, we will be working to be a world-class organization on the Seattle campus. emphasize the importance of experiential learning The CC@E is able to rely on the resources already and expand the reach of our credit-based internship available from the central UW Career Center.

Being able to investment & transformation of how personal, career draw on the “best practices” from both organizations and professional development is delivered at UW; the allows us to be efficient with our own resources. more value we can show your degree has, the more valuable your degree becomes. The demand for our Engineering students continues to grow, and our center hopes to be in the forefront It is a pleasure to serve as of connecting employers with students. We’re off to a the inaugural Director of the great start, assisting over 1,800 Engineering students CC@E.

The CC@E manages the college-wide, fee-based internship program, where SALARY a student gains credits that may apply to his/her graduation requirements. Because the CC@E is a self-sustaining office, the fees are used to for staff salaries & operational costs of the program. In 2015 – 2016 286 students $28.63 per hour were registered for ENGR 321/601 at internships with 75 companies.
The courses are designed as a complement to the internship experience, providing an academic framework, learning objectives, career research and an opportunity for person and professional reflective thought. Since academic credit is granted for the successful application of learning during the internship, the student is asked to complete assignments that will integrate knowledge derived from the academic studies with the experiences gained from real-world work settings and professional development. The course supports these work experiences by fostering analytical, interpersonal, and communication skills.
ANNUAL RECRUITING
This diagram visually depicts the career activity calendar. Starting with July at the 12 o’clock position, the “wheel” lists the various events for companies to gain exposure to students. A large amount of intern & full-time hiring occurs in October, highlighted by the Science & Engineering Career Fair; because UW is on the quarter system, this requires students to be as prepared as possible when classes begin. Additional activity is also prevalent in Winter Quarter, with smaller, more targeted events throughout campus. This “wheel” has also been integral in educating employers about the importance of on-campus visibility all year long; CC@E staff use this to help create an individualized recruiting plan for each company seeking Engineering talent.

“Even though we are a local company, this is the first time that we have actively attempted to recruit on the UW Seattle campus. The CC@E staff was there every step of the way and helped us understand the various majors and connected us with appropriate student groups & faculty members. We were even able to conduct interviews in their suite for summer internships. I’m excited to get the rest of my team in touch with the CC@E and attend some of their employer training sessions so that we can better refine our on-campus strategy and hire more talent.”

“At the request of the UW IIE Chapter, Gail from the Engineering Career Center hosted an awesome resume workshop this fall for ISE students. She was extremely approachable and helpful as she walked through the do’s and don'ts of resume writing. Students found her presentation, handouts, and Q&A very useful, as they were geared specifically to engineers. Her enthusiasm, clarity, and insight were much appreciated. It is important for all engineering students to take advantage of the resources available at the CC@E!”

HIGHLIGHTED PROGRAM
The CC@E held its first Etiquette Dinner at the UW Club for approximately 120 attendees & educated participants on proper manners in a professional dining situation as well as the difference between “eating” and “dining,” Etiquette expert Monica Cortes-Viharo led students through a three-course meal, discussing topics ranging from how to cut salad to appropriate attire and conversation topics. On a scale of 1 (low) to 4 (high), students gave the event a 3.72 (50% response rate on post-event survey).
“I liked how the event really walked you through every step of the meal and went beyond just dinner to general etiquette, attire, thank you cards, etc.”
“I really enjoyed the event-it was nice to meet other students in engineering and learn from the guest speaker, as well as the professional mentors. Please continue with events like this!”
“I've gained an insight on how to behave during formal dining. Great how I was able to practice last night.”
“I was already aware of most of the topics discussed at this event, but I'm glad I went because now I feel more confident about how I conduct myself during interviews.”
FIRST DESTINATIONS
In mid-May, graduating seniors (Spring Quarter 2016) were asked to respond to a two-question “Senior Survey” about their plans. A $50 Amazon gift card was awarded to one of the first 50 respondents, all respondents were entered into a drawing for one of three $100 Amazon gift cards, and the department with the most respondents relative to their graduating class size was awarded a $150 Amazon gift card. Over a two-week period, the survey had a 63%* response rate, and Bioengineering had the highest voluntary response rate at 83%. Additional work throughout the summer to gather the remainder of 2015-2016 data. *CSE data not available at the time of this report
