EEE Computer Lab in POTR 360
The EEE Computer Lab is available for all EEE students and is located in POTR 360; next door to the main EEE office. See attached agreement for student conduct and use protocols.
**Key Pad Entry Code – 643756 which corresponds to NiesLo for Prof. Loring (Larry) Nies. Prof. Nies instructs EEE 355 in fall semester, is EEE 480 course coordinator, as well as wears many other hats for EEE!
EEE maintains this computer center for academic & social activities. Its use is a privilege reserved for EEE students and those enrolled in EEE courses to work, study, and access dedicated EEE computers. There are 12 desktop computers with internet access and a printer/scanner. The room contains additional tables, chairs, and whiteboards. Hand sanitizer has been placed by each computer station.
In general, be respectful to others and the property. Always log off of computers before leaving the room. Do not lock a computer for later use. Do not move or alter any of the computer systems.
If you wish to place items on the wall, ask in the EEE Office for appropriate tacky putty. (No tape or staples.)
Use discretion when determining if to print and how many copies to print.
Welcome back! It is almost career fair time again, so this is a great time to update your resume and LinkedIn profile. If you have questions, you can always make an appointment with me. Don’t forget that you can meet with me to look at your resume and LinkedIn profile, discuss career options, applying for jobs, and negotiating job offers.
Expo is Tuesday February 6th and 7th and will be hybrid (virtual and in person). The in-person day will be on February 6h at the CoRec and virtual day will be on February 7th. Both days currently have the time listed as 8am-3pm. They will be using the career fair plus app (like IR did in the fall) and company information is up!
Expo is the largest Purdue career fair in the spring semester. When company information is available, remember that usually there are some companies that have listed EEE as an option, but there are also good companies that don’t have EEE selected. To enhance your job search, look for companies seeking Environmental Health Sciences and Civil Engineering and see if they do environmental work. Many do! I will send out an email closer to the event with more details.
The 2024 Co-op Days Recruiting Event (career fair) is on January 30th. It will be held in the PMU North and South Ballrooms from 10am to 4pm. Although this career fair is primarily focused on co-ops, there are usually some internship and permanent opportunities available. Have you thought about co-op? It is a great way to gain substantial experience as a student. For co-ops, only freshman and sophomores are applicable. Internship opportunities generally are open to all students. Some companies only put their internships on this site so it’s another way to find out about opportunities! I will provide you more information on the process as we get closer to the fair.
To prepare for the Co-op Days, there was a general co-op callout for all interested students was on January 10th. I hosted the EEE breakout session on January 11th. If you were unable to attend, but are interested in co-op, please email me to set up a meeting. Don’t forget to include your resume and availability (range of days and times) when you email me.
