= Strategy #2: Abridge Bridge the Professional and the Academic =
== Tactic #1: Broadening Target Industries ==
The beauty of liberal arts education is that students don't have to select their majors early on. They are free until the end of their sophomore year to decide on what they want to do. One dificulty that seems to occur is finding the right industries industry to intern with. The exception to this rule are is engineering students. Unless their decisions are made early, Union engineers won't be able to graduate on time, which makes a lot of students opt out of late declaration of an engineering major. This means that most students don't have a clear idea on what kinds of internships and summer programs to look for, unless they are in engineering.
Broadening target industries in engineering means going above and beyond the current information on local industrial, and business offerings. It is a true challenge to find research-based internships in engineering on one's own. It is also a true challenge to obtain information about opportunities in attractive locations that are far from New York. Taking into consideration that a lot of our students do summer research at Union, and not nearly as many of them join a graduate program in their field, it will be tremendously beneficial for the Career Center to broaden its view on the target positions for engineers.
