STUDENT RESOURCES: The internet is home for a great deal of useful information, though sometimes we need to work to find it. This page is designed to give students in the School of Engineering and Technology a head start in using the internet to find useful information. It covers five main areas: Study Tips and Aids, Research and Searching Resources, Portals and other Discipline Resources, Career Development Resources, and Scholarships and Other Financial Aid. Share suggestions, comments, and bad links with your department chair. Note that there is no implied endorsement of any of the sites listed below. The sites have not been verified safe for downloads, so the only general advice we can give you is: use the sites for information purposes and only download files or software from sites that you are familiar with, and if you have the proper (meaning up-to-date) virus and spy ware protection on your computer.
STUDY TIPS AND AIDS: Your study habits will play a large part in your success in the School. Many of you came to Hampton with excellent study and problem solving skills, and some did not. All of you may benefit from looking at the study tips at the sites listed below.

Internships, Co-ops and summer opportunities: Professional experience in your chosen field is an important part of your education. There are many summer and co-op positions available in architecture, aviation, and engineering, and you should discuss your interests with your peers and faculty members in your department to help determine what sort of position would be best for you.
Resume writing: Your resume often creates the first impression you make on a potential employer. Take some time to read some resume-writing advice so that your resume creates opportunities for you.
Interviewing: Here are some links with advice on interviewing. Review the tips and sample interview questions, particularly if you are new to job-searching.
Career Fairs: Career fairs, on campus or at conferences, are great for making contacts with a number of companies. However, you should not attend a fair without preparation. The links below will direct you to do some homework and develop a strategy before the fair.
