Mia Peterson AddedTuesday, June 28, 2022 at 2:26 PM What are the best steps to take after getting your Engineering Degree? How does one branch into different industries with little to no experience in them? I am recent graduate with a Mechanical Engineering Degree and I am a bit lost. As a College student during Covid I didn't have a internship, while in school, so I am doing one currently. How to branch out? How do you make connections?

I hope this helps. Good luck...
