This week’s featured student is Matthew Bowman, a mechanical engineering major from Murfreesboro, Tennessee, who worked as a co-op student at Briggs and Stratton Corporation.
In reporting on his rotation, Bowman worked in the Aluminum Machining-Design Department. His responsibilities included production of W-22 and W-26 cylinders, designing additions for machinery, floor layout management, PLC control, and project management.
The most valuable benefits Bowman received was a better understanding of design program through a professional environment and to have the opportunity to work in a manufacturing setting to get a better understanding of his major.
