Early job offer for Stevens chemical engineering student

Presenting outcomes from a project she led at BP Lubricants as a formulary technologist co-op student proved to be one of the steps that resulted in a full-time position at the company for Brittany Crosby, senior Chemical Engineering major. After graduating this spring, Brittany will join BP Lubricants in a management fast-track as a formulations technologist on a global lubricants technology team.

Originally from Surf City on Long Beach Island, N.J., Brittany became interested in chemical engineering while a junior at Southern Regional High School. Her long-term goal is to work on alternative energy solutions, particularly in bio-fuels. Brittany said the education she received at Stevens along with the high-responsibility positions she held in her co-op placements (owning complex projects and getting a broad view of all stages of the supply chain, for example) over time all helped her to develop an impressive resume and prepare her well for the technical questions she was asked in job and other co-op placement interviews.  

"I'm fortunate to have had great mentors in the workplace," Brittany said. "Each group I've worked with has been receptive to what I bring to the table and also to teaching me what I need to know. I was so fortunate to have such great, positive experiences outside the classroom."
