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.
