General Dynamics Electric Boat reposted this
What are our interns up to this summer? Alexandra Calabro is an Engineering Intern at General Dynamics Electric Boat. Her OS experience has provided and built many soft skills she uses in her summer internship position. Having practiced sending professional emails and communicating information is super valuable when she has conversations with high level engineers. It has also instilled being dedicated to her responsibilities and to including sustainability in all that she does - even small things like printing double sided or trying not to print at all! While Allie's current position does not necessarily deal directly with sustainability, the OS and the OS's professional events such as the Green Careers Panel have shown her how she can infuse sustainability in roles where it may not be as obviously applicable. It’s also great to see how sustainability is implemented and integrated within Electric Boat, which is a larger corporate operation. For example, there are recycled cardboard lunch trays and employee trainings that focus on waste reduction and maintenance and environmental health precautions. These may seem like small actions, but they can compound and be a part of creating system wide change. Major: Mechanical Engineering '25
