Opportunities
Senior Engineering major, Matt Toomey, completed his internship at Raymond Corporation in Muscatine, IA where He worked as a design engineer. Matt said his internship was important because it strengthened his self-confidence and improved his professional communication skills.
"I came to understand my responsibility in a professional and ethical sense as I worked at Raymond. I spent a lot of time thinking about how my solutions would impact the company, the workers on the floor, and the end users of our product. I have grown so much through my time at Raymond."
