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.
