2026 Georgia Tech MSE Career Fair

The School of Materials Science and Engineering (MSE) at Georgia Tech is one of the largest and most diverse materials programs in the country. This targeted career fair provides employers with direct access to a highly skilled pipeline of undergraduate and graduate students preparing for careers in materials science and materials engineering.

Organizations seeking to hire co-op students, interns, or full-time materials scientists and materials engineers are strongly encouraged to participate. This focused, discipline-specific event allows for more meaningful engagement and efficient recruiting than larger, general career fairs and is held on the Georgia Tech campus to support valuable face-to-face interaction with students.

Registration Cost: $500

Career Fair Package includes:

  • Opportunity to connect with highly qualified MSE undergraduate and graduate students
  • Listing on MSE Career Fair, Georgia Tech Career Center, and alumni web pages
  • Limited online access to the MSE student resume database
