<p>What are the top companies that cornell engineers go to work for. Does anyone know a cornell engineer with a sweet job.</p>
<p>i think it depends on your major. i know a lot of the firms that recruit heavily through AEM, the hotel school, ILR, and CAS (econ) also do recruit for engineering's OR.</p>
<p>ill be a chemical engineer, and i am hoping to get a job with Exxon or Shell.</p>
<p>engineers have really good recruiting lots of major defense/contruction/finance/tech firms. esp good chem e recruiting. exxon/shell recruit here.</p>
<p>meh, how good is cornell getting engineers into top grad programs?</p>
<p>Tboone... get involved with Cornell Engineering Co-op program. I believe Exxon Mobil hires chemical engineer co-op students from Cornell. Not sure about Gulf...</p>
<p>Have you perused the companies own career websites to see where they are recruiting from? </p>
<p>With your screen name - I figured you'd be looking into wind power! ;)</p>
<p>Tboone:
FYI
Just looked at Exxon Mobil's site for curiosity -</p>
<p>Not just good jobs for ChemE. Lots of Defense Contractors: Northrup Grumman, BAE Systems, Raytheon; Software Companies: Cisco, Amazon.com, etc.; Tech Companies: Intel, AMD, etc. Basically, there are a TON of companies that recruit at Cornell. There are so many companies that come for the career fair that engineering has a whole day just for companies recruiting engineers.</p>
<p>sweeeeeeeeeeeet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
:):):):):):):)</p>
<p>but is cornell good at getting people into top grad programs?</p>
<p>yes, it has great placement at both master's and PhD levels at every top university:</p>
<p>MIT, Caltech, UCB, UMich, CMU, GaTech, UIUC.</p>
<p>Not to mention the 5th year masters program at Cornell.</p>
<p>We have lots of doctoral scholars, Rhodes Scholars, Marshall, Fulbright.</p>
<p>It's Cornell. I don't think you have anything to worry about.</p>
<p>As a senior chemical engineer at CU, I can attest that their are plenty of companies recruiting chemE's.</p>
<p>Various industries:
consumer goods
petroleum
energy
electronics
chemicals</p>
<p>let me know if ya have more questions</p>
<p>Sometimes I feel bad for engineers. They're going to have to figure out their there's one of these days.</p>
<p>^^^what do u mean?</p>
<p>hahah I think he's trying to say that while some engineers are absolutely brilliant, they can't figure out the different between there, their, and they're, which an average 2nd grader could...but hey, it's the internet. I sure as heck don't type here as I would for a Writing paper...well engineers are very math/science oriented and couldn't give a crap about grammar, just like we lib arts majors don't give a crap about electrons and chemicals and all that nonsense :)</p>
<p>LOL cayuga.</p>
<p>does anyone know how competitive the petro coops/jobs are for chemEs, like the ones at shell and exxon.</p>
<p>not very competitive, and fairly easy to come by and obtain, it seems.</p>
<p>but it will help if you are charismatic in interviews and have a good GPA</p>

</p>
<p>Like chendrix said, these jobs are not too competitive to obtain</p>
<p>The most competitive jobs for engineers to obtain are consulting/finance/investment banking jobs, but that's not of any relevance since you are interested in working as a ChemE</p>
