Nick Throlson completed a manufacturing engineering co-op with TRAiL KiNG Industries. During his internship, he worked on several projects including designing modular tool boards, labeling shelving for load capacity safety, and creating a setup booklet to standardize a workstation. He also helped develop mistake-proofing mechanisms and improved a quality tracking spreadsheet. Through these experiences, Nick gained real-world manufacturing experience and lessons like prioritizing multiple projects and designing for manufacturability. He suggested the company provide more orientation on their products and processes to better prepare future interns.
