Student Testimonials
Students who participate in Co-op value the experience for the career preparedness, industry experience, and broader experience:
“The last seven months have taught me new things and reinforced what I had learned previously. One of the best experiences of my life!”
—Co-op student
“I was given VERY technical work to work on, and for that I am grateful to have had the opportunity to work at [company]. I was able to utilize the general and chemical engineering principles that I developed at UW to understand what was going on and how to proceed. I looked forward to every new project I received and I felt prepared to at least know how to learn what was going on.”
—Co-op student
“Doing this co-op helped open doors for future employment. It has also given me more options for which career path I end up taking.”
—Co-op student
“It gave me a perspective of the industry I otherwise would never had a chance to see. I see that programming is not only solving computer problems, there are human problems too.”
