As summer comes to a close, I’m excited to say I have
accepted a full time Co-Op position with Marvin Windows & Doors in Warroad,
MN for my final semester at IRE. Throughout this past summer, I have been a
part of their new product development team. Each day came with a different set
of challenges on innovate new products. From initial designs to prototyping and
testing, I've been a part of it all. The transition from IRE to Marvin was
seamless. Many of the day to day activates are the same, and communicating with
multiple other engineers on the current project I am on is much easier than it
was when I started at IRE.
Many people might take something as simple as your window or
door not leaking for granted. It’s amazing to me how much engineering and
development goes into each product to meet a set of requirements. Things such
as thermal transfer, structural support, and leaking are all taken into consideration . So, next
time you walk out a door or close a window, remember how much hard work goes
into something that can appear to be simple.
