What I found at Kinze was a program that offered me much more and an environment that allowed me to develop and apply new skills that would have been impossible to achieve in a classroom setting. The challenges I faced and the responsibilities I was given exceeded anything I had ever imagined. It has been a tremendous learning experience.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Mike Green, Manufacturing Engineering Co-op<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Mechanical Engineering Major at the University of Iowa<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Class of 2014 (December)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>During the past decade, Mike Green \u2013 and roughly 100 other top-echelon college students \u2013 have enrolled in what has become a very popular and highly acclaimed co-op program at Kinze. Those invited to participate perform critical tasks on key projects within a fast-paced four- to six-month timeframe. They work with state-of-the-art equipment\/technologies in a learning environment that&#8217;s very stimulating and challenging. And they get involved \u2013 almost immediately \u2013 in several project-driven, team-building opportunities as they work side-by-side with experienced professionals in their field of study.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mike has been on a fast-track ever since he entered the program (with the class of January, 2013). \u201cI never dreamed I would be this engaged this quickly and have this much responsibility,\u201d said Mike. \u201cI\u2019m working with state-of-the equipment and processes in all phases of manufacturing; these are projects that can potentially have an immediate impact at Kinze. And I\u2019m making presentations (on what I have learned) directly to top management. The co-op program has given me a huge jumpstart on my career. I can\u2019t imagine getting this type of hands-on experience anywhere else.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, Mike is a senior at the University of Iowa and he continues to work part-time at Kinze while earning additional credits towards his Mechanical Engineering degree. He graduates in December.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Interested in learning more? Kinze is currently recruiting for Spring-Summer Co-ops for 2015.
