<p>is my stat really that horrible? my friends are working in BMW (Germany), Edison w/ 65000, and what-not...i know they had GPAs better than me, but .... im really depressed....</p>

<p>What does your resume look like? Does it show your qualifications? Typically, if you're not getting calls, it may because of your resume. A 3.1 GPA is fine - I've found numerous internships (with interviews) with a 3.0 GPA my second year of college (as an EE major). It went up after that, and it's been relatively easier to find an internship. I'm not worried about finding a job.</p>

<p>An internship experience is fantastic, especially that it was a year long one.</p>

<p>Also, where are you applying? If I were you, I'd apply to anywhere you can, at least for your starting job. Here are some company lists I've found that hire engineers:</p>

<p>FORTUNE</a> 500 2006 - I just go through the company list and then find their careers website and apply through there</p>

<p>Defense</a> contractors - SourceWatch - list of defense contractors</p>

<p>List</a> of computer hardware manufacturers - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia</p>

<p>The</a> College of Engineering @ Iowa State University</p>

<p>Career</a> Center - What Can I Do With a Major In...? - scroll down for companies</p>

<p>Technology</a> - Google Finance - technology companies</p>

<p>If you want me to look at your resume, drop me a PM.</p>
