What was your coolest co-op assignment?
"In my most recent work term, I was tasked with programming in SAS - or Statistical Analysis Software - to create, manage, and automate reporting that showed valuable mainframe metrics to facilitate long-term capacity planning. My fully-automated reports will compile data months at a time and trend to give my employer the heads up so decisions can be made before a crunch."
What advice would you give students considering Kettering University?
"My advice would be to visit campus and converse with the faculty and current students to gain a better feel for what the school has to offer. Be sure to always be on top of your academic and financial game. Also, if the co-op program is a key deciding factor, but it seems like a lot of intimidating work, see the minds of the co-op managers to put your mind at ease. Don't let the possible costs deter you from reaping the priceless rewards of networking, real-world experience, and the company of peers who think on your level."
