Every engineering program has its own career advisor. The sole job of these career advisors is to work with the students to help determine whether the program they are in is the best fit for them and whether they can achieve their desired career path in their current major.
Also, there are clubs and student organizations for students majoring in engineering programs. If you're interested in studying abroad (or as we sometimes call it, education abroad), you should check out the many opportunities available. Finally, if student research is your deal, then there are opportunities for that as well. Check it out!
