Engineering Career Services hosts a Fire Protection Engineering career fair each fall. We host over 40 employers and see more than 75 students at this fair. Employers will have the opportunity to meet with undergraduate and graduate students, all of whom are seeking either internships or full-time employment.
In addition to fire protection engineering students, candidates from other engineering departments may be invited if you indicate your preferences on our registration form.
If you are interested in other recruiting opportunities, such as posting open positions, information sessions, campus interviews, or our Recruiters in Residence program, please contact Engineering Career Services at 301-405-3732
rmentze1@umd.edu.
The cost of the fair is $550.00 for 1-4 representatives. We will provide a 6-ft. table, tablecloth, parking, and lunch. Once you submit the form below, you will be taken to a web page with payment options and the ability to print an invoice.
Please visit this site to register: https://go.umd.edu/FPEregistration.
FIRE Center members should email Ron Mentzer at rmentze1@umd.edu if they have not yet registered.
We are pleased to announce that we plan to bring back the 3-minute, pre-fair employer presentations from 12pm - 1pm so that our students can learn more about your organization in an efficient and timely manner. Your company's presentation must be 5 PowerPoint slides or less, or a video that is less than 3 minutes long, or a combination with a total of 3 minutes.
This opportunity is first given to our FIRE Center members and Legacy Campaign Corporate Sponsors and then will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis for non-members. Your registration must be paid in full to be added to the list. Please email rmentze1@umd.edu after you register and pay if you'd like to participate.
If you have packages that you would like to have sent ahead of time, please ship to:
If you would like return shipping arranged, please bring return labels and shipping tape on the day of the event. We are able to process return shipping for Career Fair packages. Please allow 5 business days for packages to be processed.
• You can use GPS for both the Kim Engineering Building (8228 Paint Branch Drive) and Xfinity Center Visitor's Lot (8468 Paint Branch Drive). A campus map can be found here.
• Parking will be in the Xfinity Center Visitor's Lot. If you are bringing boxes or displays, please use Engineering Drive between the Kim Building and Clark Hall to unload before you park.
• If you arrive on time, there will be an attendant at either one of the two entrances of the lot on Paint Branch Drive. They will give you a hanging permit and tell you where to park. Please do not park without getting the hanging permit since our office is no longer able to void parking tickets.
• If you arrive late or cannot find an attendant, please call Ron at (443) 534-0731 to get a parking code.
• From the parking lot, exit right onto Paint Branch Drive and continue along that road until you reach the Kim Engineering Building on your right (5-10 min walk).
If you are bringing supplies the day of the Career Fair, please use Engineering Drive between the Kim Building and Clark Hall to unload for either building. Because this is a side street, early arrival is suggested to avoid congestion. Please plan on a maximum of 10 minutes for unloading. We suggest having two people when unloading supplies so that one can stay with your items while the other parks the car.
