I will be discussing the military inlet and exhaust organization within Rolls-Royce in the US as well as how we fit in the global company. The way we work and some of the projects we have been a part of; this should be the bulk of the talk. I will also be talking about what I have seen from the Co-ops and new hires into Rolls-Royce in order to give some guidance on how to get hired and how to succeed in the company as a student transitions from academics to the professional world.
