Chemistry Co-op Employers


A Chemistry Student
The Chemistry program at Kettering University is unique because it is the only undergraduate chemistry program in the country that requires its students to spend at least 5 co-op terms working as an engineer or applied scientist at a company. Our students learn how to apply their knowledge of physics and engineering to the real world while they help their employers solve problems in industry.

Faurecia passes on this expertise to its customers by forging an ever closer working relationship with them throughout the vehicle design, development and manufacturing phases.

The Group’s Research and Development policy enables it to design and make available to automakers the kind of innovations that set their products apart and that the end-user expects.
