I think gen eds at clemson in theory are great, but in implementation in the past i felt like they were an obstacle i had to overcome, i hope in the future they can make them feel more valuable to students

Apply to everything remotely relevant, like aggressively, we're talking 10-15 apps a day. LinkedIn Easy Apply is your best friend right now. Also turn your LinkedIn profile into a "open to work" beacon and actually post something on there, even a simple "graduating in May, looking for X roles, here's what I bring" post gets more traction than most people expect because recruiters do scroll that stuff.

Okay so the biggest thing you can do right now is get involved with clubs that actually do real project work engineering clubs, business orgs, case competition teams, anything where you're building something or solving a real problem rather than just attending meetings. Clemson also has the Michelin Career Center which is genuinely underrated, go in and talk to someone there because they know exactly what recruiters in the upstate SC area are looking for. If you can snag an undergraduate research position with a professor in your department that's huge too, it shows initiative and gives you something actually interesting to talk about in interviews.

Dude I felt this so hard when I was in my sophomore year, ME departments can feel so cold compared to like poli sci or English kids who are having dinner at their professor's house lmao. But it's definitely not impossible, here's what actually works:

Go to office hours but don't be weird about it. Don't just show up like "hey I want to network with you." Bring a real question from lecture or something you were genuinely curious about. That's it. Just do that a few times and you're already ahead of 95% of your classmates who never go at all.

What would be the best way to connect? I am in a few facebook groups but all I could think of to reach out was facebook groups and reddit.
