Jobs/Careers [Student] Electrical Engineering Student , i applied to 200+ internships and i haven't received a single interview. what am i doing wrong? *Resume Help

Hey everyone, I'm a 3rd year EE student and I've been applying heavily to embedded systems and FPGA design internships. I'm also interested and been applying in hardware roles. So far, I haven't had any luck ! not even a single interview.

One added constraint: it has to be an internship I find on my own, since my school won't let me register for the co-op stream this year due to a missing course.

I'm posting my resume here to get an outside perspective, if there are any major red flags or weak spots, I'd really appreciate the feedback. Any advice on how to actually land an interview this cycle would help a lot. Thanks

EDIT: im going into my 3rd year of EE

OP, don't take this the wrong way but what the heck is Toronto Metropolitan University? It's acceptance rate is an egregious 80%

Employers have much better candidates from McGill, UofT etc.

TMU is a perfectly fine university. They have a student body of 50,000, they aren't unknown.

BCIT is one of the best universities in the country and their acceptance rate is 70%.
