University of Miami Engineering Career Day 2026
UM's engineering-only fair is small, focused and three hours long. Plan it like a sprint.
1280 Stanford Dr, Coral Gables, FL 33146
What this event is
Toppel Career Center hosts Engineering Career Day for UM students to meet recruiters from engineering and technology employers offering internships and full-time roles. It runs 12 to 3 PM on the Coral Gables campus and registration is through UM Handshake (career fair 66503).
Roles you will actually see
Who should go
University of Miami engineering and computer science students and recent grads looking for internships or new-grad roles.
A single-college fair means shorter lines and recruiters who actually understand your resume. Use the extra time to have real conversations instead of drive-by drops. UM draws aerospace and defense employers too, and those roles usually need citizenship, so don't burn time there if you need sponsorship. Follow up on LinkedIn within 24 hours while they remember your face.
Show up prepared
- 1Open the Handshake fair page and star every software-relevant employer
- 2Bring printed resumes plus a phone-ready portfolio link
- 3Prepare one question per company about their tech stack
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.
