This week’s featured student is Josiah Brandt, a chemical & biomolecular engineering major, who worked as a co-op student at Shaw Industries in Dalton, Georgia.
In reporting on his rotation, Brandt worked in the carpet dyeing department. Some of his responsibilities as a co-op included: learning printer, kuster and dye building processes, helped audit tufting department, wrote speed group schedules for shift start-ups, recorded carpet transition piece usage and measured changeovers.
The most valuable benefit he obtained during his rotation was the work experience that helps add to his education and contributes to his development as an individual.
