Mead Westvaco Papers Group
Jon Mosenteen '05 (Chemical Engineering)

 I had the opportunity to work for Mead Westvaco Papers Group in Rumford, Maine, as a co-op student. As a non-traditional chemical engineering major, I knew that even though this required me to be away from my wife, the "hands-on" co-op experience would be worth the effort. As it turned out, I was able to work with some of the best engineers in the paper industry.

The best part of my experience was being given the responsibilities of a practicing control engineer. I attended daily production meetings, provided control advice to area supervisors, fixed common control problems, and assisted other engineers in design projects.
