Fall 2025 Civil Engineering Career Fair Information
The CESAC Civil Engineering Career Fair annually attracts around 200 companies and over 500 students from Purdue University, one of the top civil engineering schools in the country. Students in the Lyles School of Civil Engineering emphasize in one or more of nine disciplines: architectural, construction, environmental, geomatics, geotechnical, hydraulics & hydrological, materials, structural, and transportation. Students attending the career fair are domestic or international, undergraduate or graduate, and seeking internships, co-ops, and full-time employment opportunities.
This year, the fair will be a fully in-person format with opportunities to connect with students at Purdue University. Additionally, the fair is returning to a traditional walk-up style fair where students approach a company booth with no prior scheduling required. This event contains three components: information sessions, career fair, and interviews.
Thank you to everyone who attended the Fall 2024 Career Fair. Registration for the Fall 2025 Career Fair will open in May 2025.

Interviews
Friday, October 10th, 2025, Young Hall
Interviews provide you a chance to connect with students one-on-one in a more formal setting immediately after the in-person career fair. Companies have the sole responsibility of requesting the number of interview rooms they’d like and setting up their interview schedules with their students of interest.
Should your company be interested in hosting interviews with Purdue students, please select the Interview option when registering. Interview rooms are available on a "first come, first served" basis. Once you are registered, we will reach out to you directly with more information regarding your interview rooms.
For Fall 2025, interviews hosted through CESAC will be in-person only. Students have requested as much face-to-face interaction with recruiters as possible as we come out of the COVID-19 pandemic. Recruiters are welcome to independently host virtual interviews should they prefer a virtual format.
