Chemical engineering major Olivia Lazar wrote about her experience working for DENSO Manufacturing as part of a co-op.
I worked on a co-op at DENSO Manufacturing as a Final Assembly Production Engineer, and I loved it. I worked on a big project concerning finding a new chemical to clean our daily pallet/jig usage. The original scope of this project was just research, but I got so involved that I ended up helping lead the cross-functional team in a short term plan of finding a new chemical and a long term plan of acquiring new, more effective, and safe equipment. I was also heavily involved in three or four different manufacturing lines and was responsible for other small projects and troubleshooting.
I learned so much and I am very grateful for this experience.
