im majoring in ISE and was looking for some tips as a upcoming freshman trying to land an internship as an ISE student. i did the green belt lean six sigma certification from MSI (which i know isnt as recognized as ASQ but is a start) to try to up my resume. i have a small business certification and some projects ive done throughout HS through engineering courses that are recognized by my state. i have my associates degree and im currently trying to rewrite my resume to make me stand apart from other student competitors. There are a couple others that I can include in my resume that I’m currently rewriting. I’ve been doing internship searching on LinkedIn so far.

ive done an internship as a data analysis intern previously during HS at my current college, and overall im just asking for tips on how i can stand apart from other students apply to internships. Should i start applying now, do i go more local or more competitive? How can I stand out in interviews too? Any tips at all would help.

Thanks!

hi everyone,

i applied to my Uni as an early action and got accepted in November 2025 where i’ll start attending during fall semester 2026.

im currently still a HS student whose taken CCP classes at my Uni and completed majority of my GEs. i applied to my Uni planning to major in CS so I can work in game design but now im making the switch to BME after learning how threatened CS is by AI and how competitive the job market has been

i’m really conflicted about what major i should go into and need help with this decision! my entire highschool career has just been game design research, programming, and engineering as part of a program i did. i took Calc 1 at my Uni and passed but it made me realize how much I hate anything too math heavy and it messes with my mental health. of course i can handle math but its just intimidating

overall, im just looking for a major thats not too math heavy, has good demand in the job market, and is fulfilling towards my own interests. i just really wanna come out with a job after all this and no regrets

please help!! i have yet to schedule my orientation program and im hoping to make the major switch then

i think i just hate engineering in general, the one things ive enjoyed in my college classes was writing, designing stuff, and building physical prototypes of things. im fine with engineering just intimidated by it, im looking for a major not threatened by AI and one i wont change randomly because its job market is bad. i’ll take any suggestions, thank you!

also please give me advice on how i can start narrowing things down
