CO-OP Information:
Requirements
Ideal co-op candidates will have completed some education and foundational engineering coursework but are not expected to have significant experience or knowledge at the beginning of the program. These candidates will grow and learn through practical experience alongside their education by alternating semesters. The candidate will be given increasingly more responsibility and autonomy as they grow in this role with each subsequent semester.
INTERN Information:
Ideal intern candidates will have significant educational and practical experience. These candidates have completed most or all of the foundational engineering coursework like Fluid Dynamics, Heat Transfer, and Thermodynamics. These candidates have a better idea of their interests after graduation and would consider working full-time as a consulting engineer providing solutions for resource conservation and decarbonization for large industrial manufacturers.
Responsibilties
Co-op and Intern candidates will be responsible for various project development activities, from concept development, initial site visit, preliminary scoping assessments, detailed design engineering, and project delivery oversight and management. Role may include:
