Woodside Energy Ltd. Cossack Pioneer Facility Engineering Team
No full textCossack Pioneer is a floating production storage and offloading vessel located 112 km North West of Karratha. This report details the work performed during a 16 week internship with Woodside Energy Ltd working in the Cossack Pioneer Facility Engineering Team. This Perth based team provides engineering support to the production facility. The report incorporates a description of the facility and topsides process and discusses the systems used for process control.
The earlier work performed during the internship focussed on small engineering design and control system modifications for the instrumentation and control group within the facility engineering team. Partway through the internship focus changed and the challenging role of Facility Control Engineer for Cossack Pioneer was assumed during the absence of the facility Senior Control Engineer. The report provides discussion of learning outcomes acheived and experience gained during the internship

Collaborative Reverse Engineering Design Experiment Using PLM Solutions
No full textThe current climate of economic competition forces businesses to adapt to the expectations of their customers. To achieve this, in spite of the increasing complexity of mechanical systems, it becomes necessary, amongst other things, to reduce design time. Faced with new challenges, practices in design training must evolve to allow students to be mindful of these evolutions as well as to be able to manage projects in these new work environments. After presenting a state of the art of collaborative tools used in product design, our paper presents an experiment focusing on the reverse engineering of a complex mechanical product. This experiment was carried out between two centers of the Arts et Métiers ParisTech School of Engineering, located in Paris and Angers.Weanalyze the results obtained in this experiment and propose a collaborative environment that is well suited to our needs for design education, based on ‘‘Product Lifecycle Managament’’ (PLM) concepts. Finally, we present some modifications in collaborative design courses for our students, and we implement network modifications in order to significantly improve the ease of use of the design environment

Transdisciplinary Engineering Research Challenges
No full textTransdisciplinary research (TDR) has been the subject of discourse in the past few decades, but has not been studied much in the context of engineering problems. Many engineering problems can be characterized as ill-defined, like open innovation, adoption of new technology, business development, and the adoption of the Industry 4.0 concept. Transdisciplinary engineering research (TDER) is also performed in large projects by multi-disciplinary teams, as in TDR projects, including stakeholders and people from practice. Such projects may last long, often years. In such large projects, the involved disciplines should include both engineering disciplines as well as disciplines from social sciences. In this paper we address the challenges that exist in adopting a TDER approach. Universities need to prepare students to work in TDER projects. We discuss the current situation in transdisciplinary engineering education (TDEE) and identify challenges that need to be addressed for including TDEE in curricula. The paper ends with a summary and ideas for further research

Web engineering security: essential elements
No full textSecurity is an elusive target in today’s high-speed and extremely complex, Web enabled, information rich business environment. This paper presents the idea that there are essential, basic organizational elements that need to be identified, defined and addressed before examining security aspects of a Web Engineering Development process. These elements are derived from empirical evidence based on a Web survey and supporting literature. This paper makes two contributions. The first contribution is the identification of the Web Engineering specific elements that need to be acknowledged and resolved prior to the assessment of a Web Engineering process from a security perspective. The second contribution is that these elements can be used to help guide Security Improvement Initiatives in Web Engineering
Internship Report CTCI Advanced System Inc.
No full textCTCI Advanced System Inc. (CTCI ASI) is a subsidiary company of CTCI, a top-leading and largest engineering group in Taiwan. CTCI ASI provides modern industry 4.0 system and applies it into any aspects of engineering such as mechanical system, electrical system, process system. Their product of services are intelligent energy management system, industrial internet of things, smart E&M for railway transportation. Not only the services provider, but CTCI also provide software related to the manufacture industry, especially chemical industry. They are selling their own software-related into their services, and CTCI ASI is a exclusive seller of Aspen Software and Integraph Hexagon in Taiwan.
For 40 years, CTCI ASI already got many achievement and award, also done many notable projects given by the government and big company. Latest award achieved by CTCI such as TOP 5% Stock Exchange in Taiwan by Corporate Governance Evaluation, Top 50 of a gold medal for the service industry from TCSA, Excellent Company of Industry-Academic Cooperation, and Distinguished Construction and Business Institution Award from Chinese Institute of Engineers. While the project was done by CTCI such as baggage handling system at Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport, MRT SongShan-XinYi line power remote system, Taichung MRT signalling system installation, instrumentation and control system engineering for Saudi Methacrylates Company.
For 2.5 months author learnt about safety management and how to implement it with industrial internet of things, drawing process and instrument diagram with Integraph SmartPlant P&ID, and process engineering with Aspen Plus software. For safety management, author learn how to do Hazard Operational (HazOp) and Layer of Protection Analysis (LOPA). Author also learn how to operate CTCI’s software related to safety management, Mr.PSM. For P&ID session, author learn how to interprate symbol and the function of some instrument. Then, the author learn how to draw P&ID using Integraph, convert conventional P&ID into e-P&ID with improved feature. For process engineering session we learn how to optimize process using aspen, and basic of aspen plus. In each session, authors were given test using real cases or data. The author also had been invited to 5th Naptha Cracker Plant, in Kaohsiung, Taiwan to observe and learn about the naptha cracker process and its equipment
Intern Experience at MEL, Inc.: An Internship Report
No full textIncludes author's vita"Submitted to the College of Engineering of Texas A&M University in partial
fulfillment of the requirement for the degree of Doctor of Engineering."Includes bibliographical references (leaves 82-85)...The author spent a one-year internship at MEL, Inc., a civil and
mechanical engineering consulting firm located in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. By special
arrangement with the president of the firm, the author was able to participate in roles at
various levels within the firm. These activities included engineering design, supervision and
management, project cost control, and interface with top level management. During this period,
the author has been engaged in the following assignments: 1. Serving as senior project
engineer on the Louisiana Training Institution air conditioning and heating project, 2.
Serving at the review and advisory level for three projects, 3. Studying and implementing
computer aided design and drafting system for MEL, Inc. 4. Developing a projet cost control
system that is interactive with the firm's payroll program. 5. Upgrading the firm's computer
capacity. 6. Performing special assignments from the President, Executive Vice-President,
Manager of Operation and Manager of Business and Fiscal Affairs at MEL, Inc. These activities
involved the application of scientific principles to the design, installation, and improvement
of integrated systems of people, materials, and equipment to provide the most effective
operating and work procedures. As a result of this involvement in a wide range of assignments,
the author now has a broadly based experience in a consulting engineering firm as both
engineer and manager. The author also found that well-developed, practical courses in
communication, business, engineering, law, and management from the Doctor of Engineering
program at Texas A&M University contributed greatly to this successful internship with
