Last week we produced the ECE Resume Book which contains one-page resumes of all our B.S. seniors in electrical engineering, B.S. seniors in computer engineering, graduating M.S. students in electrical and computer engineering, and two-page resumes of all graduating Ph.D. students in electrical and computer engineering. We are in the process of mailing the resumes to the top 30 ECE companies in order to help place our students in these companies. This year, for the first time, we are also producing the resume booklet in electronic form for easier distribution.
