What this event is
FAU's Fall 2026 Technology & Engineering Career Fair runs 11 AM to 3 PM on October 15 at the Campus Recreation and Fitness Center on the Boca Raton campus. Students and alumni network with employers recruiting for engineering and technology positions. Students register through Handshake.
Roles you will actually see
Who should go
FAU engineering and computer science students and alumni, plus anyone eligible through the Florida Career Consortium.
Boca Raton is quietly full of mid-size tech and fintech employers, and this fair is where they recruit locally. Alumni are welcome, so use that if you graduated. Defense and aerospace names will be in the room and mostly need citizenship, so put your time into software and fintech booths if you need a sponsor. Bring a laptop with a demo ready; recruiters here actually look.
Show up prepared
- 1Register on FAU Handshake and check the employer list two days out
- 2Prepare a 90-second demo of one project on your laptop
- 3Sort your target booths by sponsorship likelihood and hit those first
Sponsorship reality
Sponsorship varies by employer. No organizer publishes sponsorship. Check each employer you plan to meet against H-1B disclosure data before you go, and ask in the first two minutes so neither side wastes the conversation.
Showing up is half of it.
The other half is being first to the roles these employers post, and having something real to show when you get there.
See roles the minute they go live, tailor one resume per employer, and reach the hiring manager directly. Walk into the event as a follow-up, not a stranger.
