Majoring in mechanical engineering technology, these willing participants were the first of some 10,000 who would follow.
All students complete at least two semesters working in their field of study before graduation.
Sixty percent of graduates, in fact, sign on for their first job with a former co-op employer. Mario Romania Jr., civil engineering technology '83, did just that. The experience allowed me to reinforce all the things I learned in class, and to see what others in the field were doing. I liked the fact that I could graduate in four years, and get my feet wet in the industry at the same time. PGS offered me a job when I graduated, and I've been working here ever since.
