My 2 semester co-op at Freudenberg gave me many opportunites to improve core engineering skills. Utilizing my skills, I optimized processes the quality lab used into fully digitalized systems utilizing VBA. I also worked individually and on cross-functional engineering teams to complete projects. Two of the projects I lead resulted in estimated time savings of over 300 hours and a 1% or 300k reduction in shipping errors per year.
