The University of Washington Computer Science & Engineering Department highly encourages
Industry Affiliates to be involved with our students here on campus.
Of course, the most important form of involvement is active participation in the annual meeting of our
Industrial Affiliates Program. Held in the fall,
this meeting includes a day of technical interchange, and a second day
of student recruiting in our Atrium. Please be sure to plan for your participation in this year's meeting.
Because an increasing number of companies are asking for ways to get involved, we
have developed this webpage to give you ideas on how your company can participate in everything
from technical talks, to industry representative panels, to helping with mock-interviews, contributing
to our student organizations, and much more.
Here are the many ways you can become involved:
- Technical Talks: visiting company usually discusses technology the company uses, sometimes included with a recruiting talk
- Recruiting Talks: visiting company usually discusses positions
available at their company, brings current students who are working for
them, gives information about work environment, sometimes included with
tech talk.
- Employer Panel: serve as a panelist for our employer panel which is geared towards preparing students for the interview process.
- Mock Technical Interviews: engineers, hiring managers, or other
technical interviewers serve as volunteer mock-interviewers to give our
students a feedback on a practice-run technical interview
- Panelist, Women's Seminar: women from your company serve on a panel
of local women in industry to relay their experiences/joys to help
recruit young women into the field of CSE
- Company Tour, Women's Seminar: arrange for a group of approximately
20 women to tour your company. Usually lunch or snacks are provided as
they tour the facilites and hear from current employees.
- ACM or ACM-W event sponsorship:
- Fallfest, Winterfest or Spring Picnic (quarterly events for all CSE ugrad students to build community, approx. $500/event)
- Entertainment Night (like a pizza party or the x-box tournament)
- Provide end of quarter treats during finals ($500 donation)
To keep things manageable, we have instituted the following schedule for events such as technical talks, panels, etc.
- Week 1: 1 event
- Week 2: 3 events
- Week 3: 2 events
- Week 4: 3 events
- Week 5: 2 events
- Week 6: 3 events
- Week 7: 2 events
- Week 8: 0-1 events; students are preparing for finals
- Week 9: 0-1 event; students are preparing for finals
Current schedule: Last updated 05/06/2008

For information on other
ways to gain visibility for your company and open positions on campus, here are a few other excellent resources:
Don't forget the annual meeting of CSE's Industrial Affiliate Program
The UW Center for Career Services
can be particularly helpful if you are looking to recruit students from
a variety of majors. They can help you arrange on-campus interviews in
their office, info sessions, and get you information about the various
career fairs that happen on campus each year.
The Engineering Co-op Program
facilitates hiring of both undergraduate and graduate students for
terms of 3, 6, or 9 months, during which time the students work
full-time for the company but do not take classes. Students are paid by
the company and fill roles very similar to engineering interns, with
the main difference being that they also receive academic credit during
their employment. Co-ops can be a great options for employers both in
and outside the state of Washington, as students tend to be there
longer than a traditional internship might permit, and they can be
beneficial to the students because they maintain their student status,
though technically are not enrolled in any coursework.
The Daily,
the UW campus newspaper is a great place to advertise any open
positions you might have available. They offer classified advertising
space in their employment section.
Not sure if there are students from other computing-related majors that might be a great fit for your open positions? Lorena McLaren, Director of Corporate and Foundation Relations in the College of Engineering, can help get you connected to the students in a variety of majors who would be the best match to your hiring needs. Contact Lorena at lmclaren@engr.washington.edu or 206.543.8192 to discuss the kinds of students you are trying to reach.
