“What career am I getting myself into?” was the question on Cameron Anderson’s mind when he decided to pursue co-op.

Anderson said he crafted a plan to work at different placements to gain a broad understanding of what it’s like to work as an engineer.

The third-year mechanical engineering student was one of six honoured with the Rising Star Award, which recognizes students who excel during their co-op placements, as selected by the University of Windsor’s Co-operative Education and Workplace Partnerships office.
