Nancy Evans is the director at the career center for the University of Texas' School of Engineering at Austin, where the largest department is computer engineering. Recruiting at her department was up 11 percent last fall over the same period in 1999. And 125 companies signed up for only 100 available slots at the summer intern fair coming up on Feb. 2, up from 84 last year, she said. From where she sits, the bust looks more like media hype than reality. Dell and Motorola are in town, and our students never really went to dot-coms much anyway.
Engineers are a cautious breed.
