Which Alabama campus. UA or UAH, has better job/internship opportunities for engineering?
UAH is much more focused on engineering overall than UA is, but it really depends on what type you’re talking about. Aerospace? UAH, being in Huntsville, is in the middle of a bunch of aerospace companies that love to recruit from them. Mechanical/Software? You can still probably get in on some of the recruiting done by the surrounding companies. Most other types of engineering will probably not be as sought-after as the three aforementioned fields, but you would still benefit from the greater focus on engineering at UAH over UA.
Depends on the kind of engineering. For aerospace/defense industry it’s UAH hands down. For mechanical, UA has a slight leg up with Mercedes.
My ds has friends at UA who have co-oped with Mercedes, Lockheed Martin, Eastman, plus several smaller companies in the Huntsville area.
