Our student this week is Nathan Arnwine, seen at right, a mechanical engineering major who accepted a co-op at Heatcraft Worldwide Refrigeration located in Tifton, Georgia. Arnwine describes the department he worked in and what his main responsibilities were.
“I worked with the manufacturing engineering department,” he said. “In this department, the engineers focus on improving the manufacturing processes within the plant in efficiency and safety. My responsibilities for this semester included validating a cost-saving project and implementing a new process for one of the highest revenue lines.”
Arnwine found valuable benefits during his co-op assignment.
“Being able to work with engineers with years of experience, collaborate with different levels and roles of management, and gain new skills in software and problem solving techniques,” he said.
