“At my Co-op company, I don’t just do electrical engineering. I get to work with many different engineering disciplines. We do a lot of demo work for different companies for things that have never been done before, and we just need to figure out how to get it done. The best advice I would give to a new student about getting the most out of their Co-op experience would be to ‘Ask for more.’ I think that works really well for your own personal career growth, because it shows other people that you want to be part of the solution. It allows you to really build yourself from a professional standpoint and shows other people what you're about.”
