r/EngineeringResumes

I've built an open-source job board that has a substantial amount of traffic and was wondering if I should put it under the Experience section rather than the Projects section since I have used technologies that I do not get to use in my actual job, for example I used AWS services for the project whereas at work I exclusively use Azure, which fills a big gap in my resume.

Would it be good idea to list it as experience? or will I get flagged as unserious or 'cringey' and get my resume tossed in the bin?

Just read the wiki, under projects it says

>If you want your projects to stand out, they should be real projects, not mandatory school projects or trivial tutorial projects found online. Something that someone uses to solve a problem.

I'm currently doing B.Tech degree in Metallurgical and Materials Engineering. I'm in 2nd Yr. The issue I'm facing while searching for projects is I find a lot of ideas but I'm unable to filter out which is actually useful or interesting and good to go with and which are just resume fillers.

For example, right now I had an idea to make a Phase Diagram Analyser that would give the phase composition and phase %age at certain temperature for alloys and all but idk if its useful to invest time after that or its just not impressive at all. Similar thoughts for another one I thought to build a device that can measure the thermal conductivity of materials but again there are already a lot of them, will it be of any use if i build one as a project?

Hi everyone. I am graduating from undergrad this spring and am polishing my resume to start applying. This sub has been very helpful, but I'm unsure of how to group non-continuous co-op terms with the same company.

Ive got a year of internship experience in 3, four month terms over the past summers. The bulk of the work was the same each summer with incremental responsibilities being added each time as I gained experience. I currently have each co-op term listed independently on my resume... is that the best approach, or should I group them all into one line item?

If it makes any difference, these internships were in my desired field, and at a company I would very much like to return to as I start my career. Thanks in advance for any input!
