Work on transferable skills!
The skills you’ll acquire throughout your academic life offer more to your future career than you might realize! As a student, you develop technical skills related to your major. Engaging in a wide range of experiences outside of the classroom will help you build well-rounded, transferable skills to enhance your academic work and make you stand out from the crowd.
By reflecting on some of the following questions, you can start to figure out what types of meaningful experiences could complement the academic field you are pursuing:
What do you consider your overall strengths?
What are some interests you have outside of your academic major?
How would you rate your communication skills?
Do you have any leadership experience?
Do you enjoy working in groups or by yourself?
Do you consider yourself creative?
What’s your approach to problem-solving?
Here are some ways to help you build transferable skills at UMBC!
Join a student organization - Besides being a meaningful way to connect with your peers over shared interests, being involved in a student organization is a great way to take the initiative on projects you care about and work together outside of the classroom. You can also add your voice and find your place within our campus community. You can also stay connected through both virtual and in-person
campus life initiatives!
Connect with the Career Center - Gaining real-world experience through an internship, research, or a co-op experience is one of the best ways to make yourself a competitive candidate for full-time jobs and graduate/professional school. The Career Center offers career advising and counseling, networking events, on-campus recruiting, on-campus interviews, career, professional skills education, and applied learning opportunities (internships, co-ops, and research) to help prepare you to envision your possible future career opportunities!
Consider adding a minor to your degree - Complementing your primary major with a minor or certificate program can be a great way to add extra knowledge and new skills to your bachelor’s degree. This can also be a great way to explore other personal interests you might have as well as make you unique in the eyes of future employers. Exploring programs such as foreign language studies or entrepreneurship can be great additions to any major. Check out all the
possibilities and talk them over with your
advisor!
Get involved with Service Learning and Community Engagement through the Shriver Center – Ever want to apply what you’re learning outside of the classroom? The
Shriver Center has you covered! Through its Service-Learning and Community partnerships, you could step outside the boundaries of the classroom and experience the real world. Through The Shriver Center’s many opportunities, the UMBC community can continue to serve organizations through capacity-building projects and digital delivery of services.
Consider becoming a student worker – UMBC has lots of job opportunities for students. This can be a great way to apply what you’ve learned at UMBC to help other students and gain useful job experience yourself! From tutoring to working in various offices around campus, be sure to check out
UMBCworks and the
Federal Work-Study job list for campus job postings throughout the year!
Share your research - All current undergraduates who have conducted research, scholarship, or creative work in the last year may apply to present their results at the
Undergraduate Research and Creative Achievement Day (URCAD). URCAD XXVI is now open for applications and will be held this year from April 18-24th. You will be able to view presentations, watch films, see videos of dance and music performances, view artwork, and interact with presenters during the event. Applications are due by Friday, February 18th, so don’t miss out on this opportunity to share your work with our UMBC community!
These are just a few ideas to get you thinking about all the different experiences UMBC offers and how they might benefit your overall success! What experiences at UMBC have helped you build your skillset?

Intern of the Week: Mohit Patil for Computer Science!
Learn about Mohit's Summer 2022 internship with Aptiv!
Name: Mohit Patil
Internship, Co-op, or Research Site: Aptiv
Position Title: Algorithm Developer Intern
1. What is your major and class level?
I am a graduate student at the CSEE Department. My major is Computer Science.
2. What is your long-term career goal?
My short-term career goal is to explore a variety of areas and technologies in the field of Computer Science and work towards specializing in the area that I find intriguing. I'd love to establish myself as an expert in one specific field of Computer Science in the long term.
3. What attracted you to the internship at Aptiv? Why did you apply?
As I said, I want to explore a variety of areas in the field of Computer Science at this point in my career. The fact that this job opportunity at Aptiv offers exposure to a variety of areas really encouraged me to apply to this internship position at Aptiv. My prime responsibilities will be :
i) Algorithm development for Sensor Monitoring
ii) Design, integrate, test, and release software/algorithm to internal and external customers
iii) Algorithm validation and functional performance improvement in various environments
4. What will you be doing as an intern at Aptiv this summer? What skills are you hoping to learn?
My job designation says "Algorithm Developer Intern". I will be working on the algorithm that enables an automated driving system. I will be working on the data that is gathered by the sensors that locate and steers the vehicle. I am hoping to learn the practical implementation of concepts such as State estimation, Kalman filters, data association and machine learning algorithms. Also, I will be getting hands-on experience with vehicle dynamics, numerical methods, and statistic methods.
5. Does Aptiv pay for your housing or provide assistance in finding housing since the internship takes place out of state?
Aptiv does pay you a generous amount as a relocation bonus. Although Aptiv does not help with finding housing for you, they can guide you to the appropriate listings for housing.
5. What was your application and interview process like?
The application process was quite straightforward. You need to visit their careers page and search for the positions relevant to you. You need to enter the details and upload your resume.
If they find you to be a fit for the position, the recruiter reaches out to you to schedule an interview.
The interview for me was a three-step interview process. My first two interviews were behavioral interviews. The purpose of these interviews is to help the employers understand how you have performed and behaved in the past in both positive and negative situations. They also make sure whether you are a cultural fit for the company. My last interview was a technical one. The interviewers were the team with which I would be working. I was asked technical questions corresponding to the job role and my past experience with the tech stack that they use.
6. What are you most looking forward to interning at Aptiv this summer?
I am looking forward to extracting as much knowledge as I can from my interning experience at Aptiv. Also, I am really excited about working in a team environment which would be a great experience altogether.

Don't Just Follow the Leader, BE a Leader
An exciting aspect of college is the opportunity to take on a leadership role in activities/programs/initiatives that you love. By doing so, you will make a difference in the UMBC community, forge everlasting relationships, and add new, advantageous skills to your resume.
Read on to learn about a few of the countless leadership opportunities UMBC offers.
Note: Expect that some organizations, leadership positions, and jobs will be structured differently due to the virtual nature of our campus community at this time.
Join a Student Organization
Whether a club sport or a sorority/fraternity, you are bound to implement and gain leadership skills, while also becoming part of a supportive family! Serving on an organization's executive board will allow you to enact skills that you will need in the workforce and help you initiate positive changes on campus or in the community. Check out this link for a full list of our incredibly diverse organizations.
Put some extra money in your pocket, and extra skills on your resume. Most student positions promote leadership, teamwork, and responsibility. Log in to your UMBCworks to find open positions.
Still don’t know where to start? Let me give you a hand
Join forces with the SGA! As an undergrad student you’re already a part of the SGA, you might as well assume a role and work hand-in-hand with faculty to implement the change you want to see! The 2021-2022 candidate application is open now.
Campus residents stand up and get involved with the Resident Student Associate (RSA)! UMBC is not just your school, it is your home. Engage with residential life staff to make the most out of your on-campus living experience. Email umbcrsaexec@umbc.edu to find out ways to get involved.
Orientation Peer Advisor (OPA) – Be a part of a close-knit team of students who welcome new students and their families to campus during the summer and winter terms during New Student Orientation.
Welcome Week Leaders (Woolies) – As part of the Woolie team you will serve as a resource to all incoming students during Welcome Week, supporting students in their transition to campus and helping them connect to events and upcoming opportunities.
IHU Peer Facilitator & Academic Peer Advocates – IHU Peer Facilitators are an integral part of all Introduction to an Honor’s University (IHU) courses, assisting instructors in course preparation, lesson implementation and serving as a resource to students throughout their time in the course. The Academic Peer Advocate (APA) Program pairs incoming first-time, full-time, degree-seeking undergraduate students with trained and compassionate peers dedicated to providing individualized support during their transition to college. Apply to these positions here. Application opens next week through March 16th at noon!
Become a part of the Grit Guides team through the Office of Undergraduate Admissions. Whether as a student assistant or a tour guide, this position allows you to work with prospective students and share your passion for UMBC! Email Gina Ralston (gralston@umbc.edu) for more information.
Are you an international student? The Global Ambassador Program is a peer-mentoring program at UMBC that seeks to create a welcoming and considerate community for UMBC’s international students.
Join the Office of Academic and Pre-Professional Advising (OAPA) as a Peer Advisor! This may sound like a shameless plug...but I can assure you it’s not. This is in fact a very prideful plug! From a former peer advisor- “Despite being very shy, working as a Peer Advisor has made me self-assured due to the tasks entrusted to me. Not to mention, my interpersonal skills have increased immensely due to the diverse students I interact with and help daily.” Jenika Brown, Class of 2021. We will be hiring new peers at the end of the semester. If you’re interested, you can apply here.
Name: Joe Fleming
Internship, Co-op, or Research Site: Northrop Grumman
Position Title: Quality Engineer
Major or Program: Mechanical engineering
Current Class Level: Senior
Work Term: Summer 2020 and 2021
Tell us about your internship, co-op, or research opportunity, including your day-to-day responsibilities.
Mainly Inspection based and paperwork that is a low enough level for interns to be able to do.
Describe the process of obtaining your position. When did you hear of the position and submit your application?
I was able to obtain my internship from the BEYA STEM career fair and it was mainly a success due to the in person aspect that let me physically talk to them and gain that personal connection that is now tough to do.
What have you enjoyed the most about your position or organization?
Witnessing how the real engineering world works and how actual engineers handle their work and lives. It’s very interesting to see from the other side.
How do you believe you have made an impact through your work?
I always strived to do work and be better. My previous employers really loved how I always asked questions, didn’t act like I knew everything, and always wanted to do more.
What advice would you give to another student who is seeking an internship or similar experience?
Be able to talk to the recruiters and try to be able to have that social physical connection. Also be down to earth and willing to do things that you may not have at the top or your list.
Please provide a short reflection or quote about what you liked most about your position / earning internship credit / working with the Career Center.
When I had my Northrop interview, my interviewer loved that when he asked “what do you want to do?” I gave a list of things I wanted to do but also emphasized that I am not going to be picky as a student just trying to get my foot in the door. I knew once I got a chance I could show them what I do for the company as far as respect, communication, and quality work.
