“I was able to enjoy an unexpectedly high degree of responsibility. Nuclear is a highly regulated industry, but I was given projects with minimal supervision. The projects were also impactful and represented everyday work at a nuclear plant. This co-op program is essentially an onboarding program barring good performance. You are less of an intern and more of a tentative new hire. Also, it cannot be ignored that plant walkdowns are a major highlight. Nuclear is a unique industry and thus seeing the plant and the procedures for navigating it are uniquely interesting.”

“I liked the education atmosphere. They held several teaching and learning sessions for co-ops and new hires to improve our overall understanding of the plant. I also really liked that I was given a Preventative Maintenance Project which I solely worked on, with guidance from the engineer in charge of the system. Furthermore, I appreciated the willingness to send me on walkdowns and on NLO rounds to understand the how the plant interacts with one another. If you are willing to learn, they go out of their way to educate. Finally, I loved the willingness to spread their knowledge. Everyone has the teaching and sharing attitude to make everyone better engineers. I learned so much that I haven't learned in my classes. ”
