These tables list every page on eeprep. Each section has its own table, with its landing page first.
General
| Page | What it covers |
|---|
| Home | A guide to job searching for electrical engineers & computer scientists: a one-page resume, getting hired for an internship or a first full-time role, and help with the search. |
Advice
| Page | What it covers |
|---|
| Advice | Guides for EECS students on projects that get interviews, resumes, getting hired for internships and full-time roles, interviews, and learning after school. |
| Quick setup | The whole eeprep guide on one page: build one project, write one page, get a referral and apply early, interview well, and what to do when 20 applications bring no interviews. |
| Author's story | Where the advice comes from: a switch from computer science to EE, a co-op that did not fit, a signal processing internship that did, and a search of hundreds of hand-sent applications. |
Projects
| Page | What it covers |
|---|
| Projects | How EECS students pick and present projects that get interviews: one build you can defend, aimed at what the company makes, with a write-up and a measured number. |
| Software | Software projects for EECS students: embedded firmware, test automation and lab scripts, FPGA and HDL testbenches, and how to show the work on a resume and GitHub. |
| Hardware | How to build practical electrical engineering proof with no internship: bench skills, hardware builds, student lab benches, design teams, and technician roles. |
| Career paths | Job titles, signal projects, coursework areas, employers, and license notes for five electrical engineering paths: embedded and firmware, power, analog and mixed-signal, RF and communications, and controls. |
| Portfolio | A project portfolio for EECS students: optional, and worth it when you have hardware to show. What each project page holds, how to build one in a weekend with an AI tool, and how to post the work on LinkedIn. |
Resume
| Page | What it covers |
|---|
| Resume | Write a one-page electrical engineering resume a screener can read in seconds: layout, section order, bullets with measured results, and a two-pass checklist. |
| Walkthrough | Alex Doe's resume from a first draft to a finished one-page PDF: the five edits, the data file that builds the page, and how the page changes once experience takes over from projects. |
| Cleanup | An audit to run on a finished resume PDF before you send it: the text an ATS reads, every link, every bullet, every skill, the dates, the GPA rule, and the file itself. |
| Workshop | Run a 90- or 60-minute resume workshop for EE undergraduates, with a timed agenda, a facilitator script, a bullet rewrite drill, and handouts to fill in. |
Getting hired
| Page | What it covers |
|---|
| Getting hired | How EECS students get hired for internships and full-time roles: referrals first, the rule of 20, career fairs, and where to look. |
| Networking | How an EECS student builds the contacts that turn into referrals: who to ask, the 20-minute informational interview, what a referral request must contain, and how to work a career fair. |
| Job market | What the entry-level market looks like for EECS students in 2025 and 2026: more applications per posting, fewer postings, steady long-run demand, and what to do differently because of it. |
| How to interview | How to prepare for electrical and embedded engineering interviews: project questions, fundamentals, whiteboard coding, behavioral stories, the on-site day, and what to do after. |
| First internship | How to land a first electrical engineering internship with no experience: one build you can defend, the internship calendar, and what to do if a summer slips. |
| First full-time role | How EE and CS new grads land a first full-time engineering job: senior-year recruiting, return offers, new-grad programs, where roles are posted, offers, and what to do if nothing lands by graduation. |
Forever learning
| Page | What it covers |
|---|
| Forever learning | How EECS students and new engineers keep learning after school: datasheets and errata, free MIT courses, IEEE, the FE exam and PE license, and employer tuition help. |
| Getting into graduate study | The undergraduate path to get ready for a master's or PhD in electrical engineering: foundation courses, research, graduate courses, fit and funding, and the application. |
| Graduate study | When a master's or PhD pays off for an electrical engineer: the starting-salary premium, which fields expect one, what a funded PhD pays, and how employers help with tuition. |
| Professional societies | What IEEE, IEEE-HKN, Tau Beta Pi, SWE, NSBE, SHPE, SPIE, Optica, and ACM give a student for the job search, and when working engineers say membership stops paying off. |
Help
| Page | What it covers |
|---|
| Help | Where EECS students find pay data, resume help, job openings, federal internships, and engineering forums, with what each site is good for and where it misleads. |
| AI use | How to use AI tools in an engineering job search without them costing you: finding postings, checking a draft, rehearsing interviews, and the places where they backfire. |
| Company list | A searchable list of companies for EECS students, built from company-lists, with filters by state, region, industry, and field. |
| Job boards | Where EECS students find openings: company career pages and LinkedIn search, with Handshake and the federal site behind them, and which boards waste a student's time. |
| Resources | Curated repositories and resource lists for the EE job search: daily job lists on GitHub, the resume template and generator, free courses, and the wikis behind the advice on eeprep. |
| Sources | Every outside link on eeprep, grouped by topic, with a one-line summary and the pages that cite it. |
Roadmap
| Page | What it covers |
|---|
| Roadmap | Updates planned for eeprep: a resume builder, resume examples, a full system project guide, study guides, and better graphics. |
| Contributing | How to suggest an idea or send a fix to eeprep. |
