Engineering internship at Brown & Root, Incorporated: a report
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.
