Abstract: A survey of the author's internship experience with Power Systems Engineering, Inc. during the period September 1980 through August, 1981 is presented. During this onr year internship, the author was assigned to two engineering projects. One involved design of a 480 MW power plant. The other was the design of a 8.2 MW induction generator for cogeneration. The author's activities during this period can be categorized into two major areas. First, technically oriented, he designed protective relaying and SCADA systems for the projects. Secondly, he assisted the Project Manager in project management activities such as project progress and cost control. The intent of this report is to prepare a training manual for PSE young engineers. It covers both technical guidelines for power plant design and nonacademic professional codes. Although this report is primarily written for young engineers, it can also be used as a reference by older and experienced engineers.

Abstract: An engineering intership at Brown & Root, Incorporated was completed over a period slightly in excess of one year. During his internship, the industrial engineer was assigned tasks related to the organization of a manufacturing department and the pursuit and completion of its projects. Many of his contributions were system-related and involved sales, engineering proposals, engineering economy, contract negotiations, employee merit evaluation, design, and general groundwork. He was also assigned to two engineering projects concerning the design and construction of manufacturing facilities. One of the project assignments required international travel to England and Nigeria, and almost all of the assignments involved some aspect of engineering management.

Abstract: As competition gets tighter in the industrial world, many manufacturers are switching from the classical labor intensive methods of production to more sophisticated techniques using automation. At the microprocessor division of Motorola Inc. this approach was taken in a systematic manner. An automation group was founded with the ultimate goal of automating the testing procedures of their product. This testing procedure consists of two major tasks. First an electrical test is performed on the microprocessors to insure that they meet the required electrical specifications. Second a visual inspection of the packages is undertaken to reject the parts with surface flows, such as bubbles, blisters, chips, cracks, and voids. The latter inspection will be of interest to us in this dissertation. The purpose of this work is to perform the visual inspection automatically. The method used is image processing. In particular mathematical morphology is viable because it is the study of shapes. As we will find in this report, defects are merely abnormal shapes of the packages.

Abstract: A review of the author's internship experience with CH₂M HILL, Inc. during the period September 1975 through May 1976 is presented. During this nine month internship the author worked as an Engineer II in the Industrial Processes discipline of this large consulting engineering firm... The author's prime responsibility was as one of three lead design engineers on the design of a large wastewater treatment facility for a pulp mill in Hoquiam, Washington owned by ITT Rayonier Inc. The work generally consisted of the design of individual treatment units and associated piping and pumping. The purpose of the project was to provide wastewater treatment capabilities that would satisfy the effluent limitations (standards) imposed upon the mill by the State of Washington Department of Ecology and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The author's assignment also entailed necessary interaction with the project manager and other CH₂M HILL design engineers and support staff members, the client's representatives, and representatives of two other consulting engineering firms working on the project. Thus, the internship position at CH₂M HILL provided considerable experience coordinating the author's work with the work of other engineers, guiding the design and administrative efforts of a support staff, and interacting regularly with the client and other consulting firms. This broad exposure to a variety of engineering and organizational problems provided a valuable educational experience.

Abstract: A survey of the author's internship experience with the Dallas Power & Light Company during the period January, 1979 through January, 1980 is presented. During this one year internship, the author worked as an engineer in the Executive Department. The intent of this report is to demonstrate that this experience fulfills the requirements for the Doctor of Engineering internship. The author's activities during this period can be categorized into two major areas. First, technically oriented, in which he developed a model to project future electrical demands based on land usage, and a computer program that implements this model. Secondly, a selection of non-technical business oriented areas were investigated. The tasks in these areas offered him the opportunity to be exposed to the organization and operation of an investor owned public utility company and to gain experience in a non-academic business environment.

Abstract: This report demonstrates how the author's internship with the Houston Division of Fluor Engineers, Inc. fulfilled requirements of the Doctor of Engineering program and met the internship objectives. During the sixteen-month period between May 1980 and August 1981, the intern held the position of Engineer with the Cost and Scheduling Department. This position allowed the author to observe and participate in a wide variety of projects in both technical and supervisory capacities, dealing primarily with scheduling and cost control for construction of large chemical process plants. Substantial experience was also obtained from interface with other departments of the company, including accounting, procurement, process engineering, project engineering, finance, and design engineering. Additionally, the intern's position allowed regular contact with project and corporate management, providing exposure to the company's top decision makers. A brief overview of both cost engineering and scheduling engineering is presented to demonstrate the technical aspect of the internship. Finally, several of the author's positions at Fluor are described in order to detail the intern's experience and show specifically how each objective was achieved.

Abstract: This report describes the author's activities and experiences gained during the internship served at Fluor Engineers, Inc.--Houston Division, from Summer Term I, 1982 through the Spring Semester 1983. The purpose of the internship was to allow the author to become familiar with project planning and control management in the petrochemical engineering and construction industry. The author held the position of Associate Cost/Scheduling Engineer and worked on two refinery modernization projects during the twelve-month internship. A brief discussion of the author's responsibilities and internship objectives are presented first, followed by Fluor's history, organizational structure and project organization. Process technology of petroleum refining is overviewed along with an examination of how to build a "grass roots" refinery plant. Cost and scheduling engineering aspects are then discussed. Finally, the author's work assignments are described along with development of a computer software for manpower training. The internship was successful in satisfying both the Doctor of Engineering Program and personal objectives. This report is intended to demonstrate that all objectives have been met.
