<p>Hello brothers. What engineering majors are employable straight out of college without the need for experience. </p>
<p>I know some mechanical engineers and chemical engineers who find themselves in a situation where they don't have the experience employers need straight out of college.</p>
<p>The question, however, isn't whether or not you would choose to take these majors, but what majors require the least experience out of college to get hired.</p>
<p>Are you referring to internships when you say experience?</p>
<p>Experience encompasses many things. Engineering jobs, volunteer work, internships, etc. So yes, internships go under it as well.</p>
<p>What is your purpose in asking this? I’m sure there’s an answer to your question, but in general it’s a really dumb idea to graduate without getting real-world experience of any kind.</p>
<p>All companies look to hire graduates with experience, with the preferred candidates having the best experiences. It wouldn’t vary by major really… if it does vary, it would depend on how desperate a company is for workers.</p>
<p>Honestly, if you can’t get an internship, try volunteering to do lab work/ research with a professor, or join a related engineering (project heavy) team/ club and get really heavily involved.
Companies are always grabbing for those who have already been trained, they’re less of a loss (in regards to training time needed before being actually useful). They don’t want to get anything less than the best they can get. So it’s really worth it to try to get some experience, any at all, to secure your spot.
For any graduate of any major looking for a job, experience is good to have. Engineering is no different.</p>
<p>To OP: what’s the reason for asking this. Are you scared to work while in college ? or you cannot find any place to work ? From what I have heard, all companies want graduates with some experiences…</p>

<p>The responses you’re getting reflects the general feeling that an internship (or such) is a significant competitive advantage when seeking your first job out of college. </p>
<p>With that being said, it’s hard to identify the most in “demand” engineering majors (ones that recruiters may be more willing to feel slots with less experienced grads), but usually EE, ME and PE’s are on that list.</p>
<p>Basically, any engineering that is in high enough demand that you don’t need experience to find one of the many available jobs.
CS would qualify right now.</p>
