Petroleum engineering students are required to complete a summer internship in the oil and gas exploration and production industry before enrolling in the senior petroleum engineering courses. The internship must consist of at least six weeks of full-time employment.

The student is required to prepare a Student Internship Report for the Undergraduate Curriculum Committee. The purpose of the report is to aid the committee in program evaluation. Specifically, the committee is interested in how well the student was prepared for the summer internship after completion of the junior year.

The Student Internship Report should be a letter report in Microsoft Word format addressed to the Undergraduate Advisor and prepared in three sections as discussed below:

 

1. Give the name of the employer and the beginning and ending dates of your employment. Describe the nature of the work and level of supervision you received. Include duties, responsibilities, and projects you worked on.
    

2. On which courses did you draw during your internship?
   GEOL 404    PETE 321
   PETE 225    PETE 323
   PETE 301    PETE 324
   PETE 310    PETE 325
   PETE 311    PETE 335
   PETE 314    PETE 403
   
    

3. If you think the curriculum could have better prepared you for the internship, please identify the tasks for which you were not well prepared and include recommendations for improvement. Please cite specific examples to support your answer.

The report should be submitted by e-mail before the beginning of your senior classes to Dr. Bryan Maggard. [bryan.maggard@pe.tamu.edu]. Please mention "Student Internship Report" in the subject line.
