About the Fair

The Fall Engineering Career Fair is the premier recruiting event at the University of Michigan and one of the largest student-run engineering career fairs in the nation. Since its founding in 1985, the Society of Women Engineers (SWE) and Tau Beta Pi (TBP), the National Engineering Honor Society, have partnered to connect talented Michigan engineers with leading employers. 

 

What began with just 19 participating companies has grown to attract nearly 300 organizations from across the nation, offering students an unparalleled opportunity to explore internships, co-ops, and full-time positions. Celebrating more than 40 years of impact, the Fall Engineering Career Fair continues to serve as a dynamic platform for forging invaluable connections and launching successful careers.

Society of Women Engineers

The Society of Women Engineers at the University of Michigan provides its members with the ideal engineering and college experience. Every year, in addition to running Career Fair, the section engages hundreds of K-12 students across the globe in engineering outreach activities, hosts several charity events (including a 5K Fun Run, and the Engineering Games Competition), and organizes several networking and professional development events.

Tau Beta Pi - Michigan Gamma

Tau Beta Pi (TBP) is the only engineering honor society representing the entire engineering profession. Michigan Gamma is the chapter at the University of Michigan - Ann Arbor. It was established in 1906 and has since grown to be the second largest TBP chapter nationally, initiating more than 12,000 lifelong members. In addition to being one of the largest chapters, Michigan Gamma is by far the most active in the nation. The chapter runs Cub Scouts Day and Merit Badge Day every semester, hosts the College of Engineering Leaders and Honors Awards every winter, organizes free one-on-one tutoring, and leads a number of socials and intersociety activities.
