At the graduate level, your resume should clearly demonstrate your technical expertise, research experience, and applied skills relevant to industry roles. Unlike a CV, a resume is selective and tailored—focused on aligning your qualifications with the needs of a specific employer or position. For MAE students, this may include internships, design projects, lab experience, software proficiency (e.g., MATLAB, ANSYS, SolidWorks), and cross-functional collaboration. Emphasize impact, clarity, and relevance.

A CV is a detailed record of your academic and professional history, used when applying to research positions, Ph.D. programs, postdocs, or faculty roles. Unlike a resume, it includes comprehensive sections on publications, conference presentations, teaching experience, research projects, awards, and more. MAE graduate students typically use a CV when applying to academic or research-focused opportunities in universities, national labs, or global institutions.
