Abstract
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...
