Excellence in education

As a major in mechanical engineering, Stinson is working toward a degree and at the same time is working as a co-op student on alternating semesters in Tupelo with Cooper Tire and Rubber.

By combining practical experience with theoretical training, this program provides the student with a superior education. Once all of the degree requirements are complete, Stinson may begin full-time work with the cooperating firm or join another firm that demands this particular education.
