Co-ops are one of the best ways to gain hands-on experience in . That’s because when you’re on co-op you spend several months working full-time as a real engineer. (And you get paid!)
Co-ops signal to future employers that you’re already well on your way to being a bona fide engineer. That you’ve already proven that you’re ready to make a difference in their company.
About 30% of ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½ engineering students do at least one co-op.
What do they do?
Just one example: mechanical and aerospace engineering major Amos Langsner [pictured here] did a co-op at Nestlé’s prepared foods factory.
He was responsible for managing and executing major capital projects, like upgrading hydraulic power systems. Improving vacuum transport systems. Installing steam-powered heating sensors. And improving water control valves.
In all, his contributions are saving the company more than $300,000 per year.
If you’re ready to do real-world engineering, with real-world impacts, ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½ is the place for you.
