Appointments continue throughout the summer. Harvard College daily drop-ins will resume in late August. 

Concentrating in engineering or scientific disciplines at Harvard can lead to many career opportunities. You may choose to pursue graduate study to become more specialized in your chosen field, or to focus on teaching or research. From an industry perspective, both scientific and non-scientific organizations value the quantitative, analytical, logical reasoning, and hands-on technical skills developed as an undergraduate in the College.

Summer is an excellent time to learn more about specific industries and employers, which includes reaching out to fellow students, recent alumni, and other professionals who are working in fields or at organizations that interest you.
