The DiPrete Engineering Internship Program is designed to give students meaningful, hands-on experience while helping them explore potential career paths in surveying, engineering, environmental services and construction services. While every internship is unique, one of the strongest indicators of a positive experience is when an intern chooses to return.
This summer, the firm welcomed back two students for a second consecutive internship. Miranda Rebello, a senior at Roger Williams University majoring in Engineering, and Xavier Graca, a senior at the University of Rhode Island majoring in Civil Engineering, returned to build on the experience they gained during their first summer with DiPrete. After spending last summer learning the fundamentals and working alongside the DiPrete team, they were eager to take on new challenges and continue growing professionally.
Miranda and Xavier discuss what brought them back, what they’ve learned over the past two summers, and what makes the DiPrete internship experience stand out.
