The Engineering Professional Practice office within the University of Tennessee College of Engineering is hosting the Fall 2012 Engineering Expo from 3:00-6:00 p.m. on Thursday, Sept. 27, in the University Center ballroom.  The Engineering Expo is for all engineering students seeking co-op and internship positions. This fall fifty-eight companies will be coming to campus for this fall’s event making this the largest event since 2008. More information about this event may be found at the Engineering Professional Practice website.

“Last fall we had 45 companies attend, and the increase to 58 companies attending the event this year is particularly exciting,” said Todd Reeves, director of the Engineering Professional Practice office. “More companies attending means more opportunities for students to gain valuable experience prior to graduation.”

The Engineering Professional Practice office has been helping engineering students add experience to their education since 1926 and the Engineering Expo, held in the fall and spring semesters each year, is the premier event on UT’s campus for engineering students that are seeking co-op and internship opportunities.

Students interact with representatives from potential employers at the Engineering Expo.
