Mechanical engineering major Meriah Senogles completed a co-op with BSH Home Appliances and wrote about her experience below.
I worked for the quality department and was given responsibilities with data analysis and to help with new programs. I also helped with building and analyzing reports. I worked on many projects within and outside of my department. One project was based on CAD and is currently used as a part on the machine. I also did a project with a program new to the company and became the lead expert where I was tasked with teaching the other members of my team how to utilize it to the fullest. Also, an ongoing project required using Excel and Power BI to manually strip and update certain information from several sites to be used in a report. I have been able to expand all the knowledge I learned in my classes into a real-life work setting. Many of the skills I have greatly improved and will use to improve my chances for future careers.
