Our student this week is Nathan Tosh, a mechanical engineering major who accepted a co-op at Altec, located in Burnsville, North Carolina. Tosh describes the department he worked in and what his main responsibilities were.
“I worked in the manufacturing department,” he said. “This job entailed hands on work with workers on the floor throughout the factory as well as work with various engineers and out side sources. One of the main functions of this job was to increase the productivity of the workers as well as make their job easier on them, making for a positive work environment.”
The most valuable benefit Tosh received during his co-op assignment was hands-on experience in the field he plans to work in.
