Overview:

Our co-op/internship would have students working within the mechanical/plumbing engineering group. Some of the typical co-op/intern responsibilities are listed below. We understand that they will need to learn the engineering functions of that group however this role will allow them to experience the role of a mechanical/plumbing engineer responsible for designing mechanical/plumbing systems which provide heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) or plumbing services to commercial, industrial, and institutional facilities. These systems typically include chillers, boilers, air handling units, rooftop units, air distribution systems, hot water heaters, storm drainage, sanitary piping, gas piping, etc. which are used to support the end user's needs. This role will not only include mechanical/plumbing engineer support but will have a focus on getting students more involved in the design aspects of the projects. Based on their performance during the co-op/internship we would decide if they could take on more responsibility.
