Mechanical engineering co-op student shares a day-in-the life at Toyota

For over three decades, co-op students like Smita Basak have helped drive innovation at Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada (TMMC). 

Smita takes us through her day as she helps drive efficiency at Toyota by creating a solution to mitigate AGV scanner damage. These AVG scanners are small robots that are vital for delivering parts throughout the plant. Watch the video below to learn more.
