Our student this week is Lila Fisher, a civil engineering major, who accepted a co-op at EMJ Corporation located in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Fisher describes the department she worked in and what her main responsibilities were.
“I am working in the construction department mainly, with some estimating,” she said. “My responsibilities will include assisting Project managers, Project engineers, and Estimators. It will be my responsibility to have assignments turned in promptly and completed properly. I will also need to execute all of my objectives for the term.”
Fisher said that the most valuable benefit she received during her co-op assignment was, “Seeing the construction side of engineering and working with skilled people.”
