I was wondering what I can do to get ahead and be in a better position for employment in engineering in Calgary once I graduate. I'm a second year mechanical engineering student, and I'm trying to get involved this year in things that may be good for my future prospects.
So, I have an average GPA (3.1), and I compete in powerlifting (I train around 10hrs/week) which counts as a sport/extracurricular. I am also planning on joining an engineering team this year (either Formula SAE or the Mini Baja team) so I can get real engineering experience in a team setting. I have previous work experience (Tim Hortons lol), and I don't think I have any volunteering experience.
What else should I do? I'm going to try to score an engineering summer job this year, and then an internship the next. Any input would be appreciated, thanks.
