Darcy Khuen

Marine Designer

Following High School in Washington State, Darcy entered the Navy and found herself stationed in Virginia. After her service in the Navy, she enrolled in the Apprenticeship program offered through Northrop Grumman in Newport News. “I help design propulsion systems for 688 Class subs. I’m not an engineer yet, but I still get the opportunity to come up with ideas and drawings. When one of my drawings gets implemented, I have a little piece of ownership in that boat.”  Darcy is currently enrolled at ODU, where she will receive her B.S. in Mechanical Engineering, and she also has plans to earn a Master’s Degree.
