Doctor of Engineering internship at Cameron Iron Works: an internship report
(Texas A&M University, 2013-03-13) Platou, John Stoud, 1951-
This report deals with the eighteen months of professional engineering experience and the six months of non-engineering experience gained by the author during a twenty-four month internship with Cameron Iron Works in the Marine Systems Group under the direction of Mr. E.A. Fisher. The three major assignments in product design and development and assignments in non-engineering are presented. Problems with the evaluation of the ball joint line are presented and the author's solution is detailed. The pressure seals in a [sic] Cameron Control Systems have been a source of customer dissatisfaction in recent years. The author's assessment of the problem and solutions are also presented. The problems associated with the redesign of a set of anglometers are discussed and solutions are given. Non-engineering assignments and experience are also outlined. The non-engineering areas included sales, service, market forecasting and information systems.

(Texas A&M University, 2013-03-13) Larson, Wiley J.
This monograph describes the author's internship experiences at Ball Aerospace Systems Division, Boulder, Colorado. A system-level spacecraft design procedure is presented. It describes a spacecraft design flow with emphasis on the interactions among subsystem design decisions. The preliminary subsystem trade studies are discussed. Several financial and marketing issues of spacecraft contract proposal development are discussed. The linear design and analysis of the attitude control system for the Air Force Starscan spacecraft is presented. The equations of motion are developed and several attitude control structures and saturation torque limiting schemes are analyzed.
Doctor of Engineering internship report
(Texas A&M University, 2013-03-13) Smith, James C.
On January 1, 1975, I accepted a position on the professional staff of the Senate Armed Services Committee. The Senate Armed Services Committee staff consists of twenty-four persons -- fourteen professional and 10 clerical. The professional staff generally have areas of functional expertise and are responsible for Department of Defense matters in their functional area. My functional area of responsibility is primarily military construction; however, in addition I am responsible for matters relating to the management of military installations, strategic stockpiling of critical materials, and Department of Defense lands set aside as crude oil reserves. It is within the framework of these responsibilities that I set objectives and will measure performance in this report.

Documentation of internship at Drilco, Inc., Houston, Texas and Fluor Engineers & Constructors, Houston, Texas: an internship report
(Texas A&M University, 2013-03-13) Konopacki, John Michael
The first internship was conducted at the firm of Drilco, Inc. The primary engineering objective of the internship was to conduct a metrication impact study for the firm; this study was the basis for a report detailing the future metrication activites [sic] expected in the oil industry and how the firm can best meet these situations. Non-engineering objectives for this internship were also established. Investigations were conducted to determine the methods employed in the labor relations programs of the firm, methods used to conduct public relations campaigns, and how OSHA and EPA had impacted the firm. Additionally, arrangements were made to monitor a major management meeting. The second internship was conducted at Fluor Engineers and Constructors, Inc., where three majaor engineering problems and one major non-engineering problem were addressed. Successful studies were conducted in updating two instrumentation standards, in designing an Emergency Shutdown System for a unique gas compressor, and in establishing the power requirements for the instrumentation at a gas processing plant. As a non-engineering assignment, all purchase orders and requisitions dealing with instruments for an Aramco gas plant were monitored to insure that the needed material would arrive at the jobsite when needed...
Electrical generation plant design practice intern experience at Power Systems Engineering, Inc.: an internship report
(Texas A&M University, 2013-03-13) Lee, Ting-Zern Joe, 1950-
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.
Engineering internship at Brown & Root, Incorporated: a report
(Texas A&M University, 2013-03-13) Gannaway, Randall Joe, 1952-
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.
Fourth optical inspection of integrated circuits using image processing and mathematical morphology: a report
(Texas A&M University, 2013-03-13) Chemaly, Ephrem A.
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.
