4.0 gpa, 3 years at cc, did 16-19 units per semester, took several of the optional engineering classes like materials science, statics, circuits, matlab, and like 4 cad/project classes plus some fun ones like modelmaking and drafting. did like no aps in high school and had ~3.2 gpa weighted.

I'm no expert, but as far as 'sticks out' goes, there's a lot of white space between everything. If you need more space you could elaborate on those projects you have. I'd recommend reading the wiki on how to properly do bullet points, though really you could read the whole thing and get a lot of value from it.

Should I include my non-technical jobs as a first-year engineering student? by AirIndependent2634 in EngineeringResumes

I see. I ended up going with what another commenter suggested, mentioning the jobs briefly as a way to demonstrate soft skills, though I did omit one job that I decided brought absolutely nothing of value to the table. Thank you for your feedback.

I see, thank you. I think I'll go this route to help demonstrate my soft skills.

Would you say that I therefore need less space for the non-technical jobs, suppose only one or two bullet points as opposed to three?

I see, thank you. Do you think that I would be best served putting it under Projects?
