GENERAL RECRUITING POLICIES FOR STUDENTS

Summer Internship Opportunity

Hi EE Students

Summer Internship Opportunity

Mitchell Gulledge Engineering (MG) is a Gainesville, FL firm in search of a paid Electrical Engineering Intern for the summer of 2019. Any students finishing their sophomore or junior year of their engineering program are invited to contact amccaddin@mitchellgulledge.com with inquiries and resumés.

MG provides consulting services in the building construction field. We work with architects and owners to design building mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) systems. Designing such systems requires extensive knowledge of applicable building codes, standards, and best practices. MEP design is a field requiring professional engineering licensure, and provides competitive pay and geographic flexibility.

An MG intern will work alongside experienced professionals to design power, lighting, fire alarm, lightning protection, and telecom systems. The intern will learn about electrical power systems, the construction industry, and professional opportunities as a licensed electrical engineer. Interns will be challenged to expand their understanding of the systems they are designing.

Experience in the MEP field is not required, but is advantageous. Revit and AutoCAD experience is preferred. Internships will last a minimum of two months. Hours are flexible and the environment is as laid back and casual as engineering production will allow.

Mitchell Gulledge Engineering is family-focused local company. We maintain a culture of collaboration where open dialog creates a sustainable and efficient working environment. Our engineering practice is based on always doing the right thing for projects, owners, and users. We work hard to deliver projects on time, in budget, and properly designed.

Interested students may request an interview by e-mailing amccaddin@mitchellgulledge.com with a resume.

If you would like to speak with a previous intern from this firm, email Dean Drafts at ddrafts@ufl.edu with any questions.

RE: Schedule for this week and updates

Hi EE Majors

If you have looked at the schedule of courses, and it looks slightly odd and weird.  You are correct.  The schedule of courses did not post correctly for the ECE courses undergrad and grad.  We are working on this matter with the Registrar Office.  Once we receive an update we will let you know.    Yes, we will be offering EEL3135, EEL3701C and EEL3000.  A few students had sent emails asking about those courses.

My schedule for this week is below

Monday, Tuesday, and Friday are appointments only.

Wednesday- I will be at an outreach event- no hours

Thursday- walk-in advising hours 9:30-11:30 and 1:30-4
