Kristen Beattie '05 (Interdisciplinary Engineering & Management)
I decided to take advantage of two opportunities Clarkson offers: a semester-long co-op and studying abroad in Steyr, Austria, attending the Steyr School of Management and working for BMW Motors. At BMW, my main project was part of a larger planning project to restructure the plant's overseas distribution methods, from getting the engines across the ocean to changing the way they are loaded into containers in Steyr. The most interesting part was being in contact with many other employees at numerous BMW plants around the world, including an Austrian intern working on the same project at the Spartanburg BMW plant in the U.S.
