The Lyles College of Engineering<\/a> at Fresno State hosted its 19th annual Welcome Back BBQ and Industry Expo<\/a> on Sept. 23 outside the Engineering East building on campus. A vital part of the academic experience, about 60% of Lyles College students receive full-time job offers through their internships and more than 90% secure employment in California.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Company representatives and Fresno State alumni, like Varun Madnani of CertainTeed, have been working with Lyles College student interns for 15 years and said opportunities are immeasurable.<\/p>\n

\u201cInternships are a win-win from the student\u2019s perspective and the company\u2019s perspective,\u201d Madnani said. \u201cIt\u2019s important for students, especially graduate students, to gain some experience and be open to whatever is offered to them.\u201d<\/p>\n
