The students participated in an OSHA-Authorized Training Course, Hands-On Engineering Experiences, Career Preparation Workshops, and a Six Sigma Introductory Course.

“The trip was very insightful into the world of electricity and internet that we use every day,” Connor Hayes, senior mechanical engineering student said. “The most impactful aspect of the visit was experiencing how much time is spent on teaching safety and maintaining a safe culture throughout their company and their interactions.”

The partnership between Quanta and ÃÛÌÒAPP was established through the Texas State University System (TSUS) to provide career and internship opportunities to students and partner with our research and sponsored programs. Through months of collaboration with TSUS, Quanta Services, ÃÛÌÒAPP’s Office of Research and Sponsored Programs (ORSP), and the Department of Mechanical Engineering, the program was offered completely free of charge to students.

“This partnership is invaluable as it provides students with knowledge of career and internship opportunities with Quanta and its family of over 200 companies as well as networking opportunities, such as the Dashiell Career Day,” Amy
