My name is Angeline Deluca. I am currently an electrical engineering student and a full time diesel/power generation technician for Cummins Inc. Starting on July 7th, I will be working with the team performing the overhaul, upgrade, and testing of the HOV Alvin. Engine overhauls and electrical troubleshooting are no strangers to me but this will be my first experience working on a machine like Alvin. I’ve spent the last few days packing and preparing for my trip and in 2 hours I will taking off from my home in Porlant, OR to make my way to Woods Hole, MA. This is going to be a life changing experience and I can not wait to absorb as much knowledge as I can during these next 2 months with WHOI. Check back in after my first week and I will share more details on exactly what role I will get to play with the team and my responsibilities as an intern.
