Job Overview: Electrical Engineering Co-ops typically will experience the problem analysis, design, installation, and start-up phases for our projects. Our co-ops have an opportunity to apply their technical training in an industrial environment working with automated manufacturing control equipment. This equipment includes programmable logic controllers (PLC’s), analog and digital motor controllers, and discrete control hardware. Our students develop a broad understanding of electrical engineering practices necessary to support high speed automated manufacturing process. Opportunities exist at Staff, plants, and within different business groups.

Job Accountabilities: Produce detail for design and development assignments. Develop knowledge and skills of/for engineering detail. Carry out job responsibilities in a safe manner. Maintain security and documentation. Assist in development of solutions and alternatives to assigned problems/opportunities. Contribute to an environment in which all team members are respected. Strong oral and written communication skills are imperative. Understanding of basic statistics and computer usage experience is desirable.

Technical Knowledge and Skills: While it is important that engineering co-ops eventually gain experience in all areas listed for their function below, the knowledge and skills areas in bold lettering are considered to be key.

General electrical equipment/systems/controls Routine drafting and design Problem solving methodology Assimilate and understand technical information Engineering work systems: computers, CAD Field experience

Systems – machine, electrical, process Corporation policies and procedures Quality Role of other K-C functions/interactions Design communications K-C design standards

Job Overview: Mechanical Engineering Co-ops typically will experience the problem analysis, design, installation, and start-up phases for our projects.
