Turning classroom knowledge into real-world impact is the goal of every graduate — and for third-year electrical engineering student Lucas Pineo, that dream became reality. 

Through a 16-week co-op at Ford Motor Company, Pineo gained hands-on experience that went far beyond textbooks. 

“My experience with Ford was phenomenal,” he said. 

“I was able to meet and work with professionals, which helped me better understand what I want to do in the future.”
