"With DENSO's changing product mix and goal to move deeper into advanced 21st-century safety systems and autonomous-drive technologies, we need specialized talent with new engineering skills."

"DENSO's future and the future of mobility comes from new engineering graduates," said Doug Patton, executive vice president, Engineering and chief technical officer, DENSO International America (DIAM) and SAE International president. "One of DENSO's top priorities is to have a strong co-op program so students can gain the experience they need to be sought after candidates for entry-level positions once they graduate. We've had great success in training future DENSO employees with our co-op program. This will also help DENSO navigate the shortage of engineers in the Detroit area."
