How do you put an engineering project on your resume?

First, identify job-specific selling points you want to highlight. Identify your unique selling points relevant to the role. Read the job description and identify the specific skills, and note your skills that match. Reflect on your engineering project and find examples that align with what the hiring manager is looking for.

Next, highlight instances in the engineering project where you used job-specific skills. It is important to focus on aspects of the engineering projects that provide adequate verifiable proof of your achievements. This makes it easier for hiring managers to envision you using similar skills to achieve desired outcomes in their roles.

Include specific details of the engineering project that showcases your skills and experience. Include data related to the project, such as dollar value, length, scope, number of team members you managed, and the amount of revenue generated at the end of the project.

Highlighting facts and figures about past projects helps employers visualize how you can use your skills to achieve results for their company.

Finally, if you want to make your engineering project experience stand out, list it under a separate section. If it was a small project, you could highlight it under a job description for previous employment or under education if it was a school-related engineering project.
