| Summary: | Recent years have seen the advent of the Windows 3.1 and Windows 95 operating systems, and of less expensive personal computers. These computers are no longer restricted to highly specialized engineering consultants and are increasingly used by contractors. This trend is creating a larger market for civil engineering applications, and such a market is being targeted by several specialized software companies. One of these companies is ATSER Systems, headquartered in Houston, Texas, which until March 1996, was part of a larger company, ATSER LLC. ATSER Systems was reorganized as a separate company in March 1996. The intern was involved in the reorganization as a manager of the Research and Development of ATSER LLC. This record of study offers an overview of the company, describes the contributions in the civil engineering software development business, and finally outlines its organizational and structural requirements. The company focuses on the development of civil engineering road construction software. The company is marketing four software packages that cover Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) mix design, Quality Control, HMA placement, and Portland Concrete mix design. The intern was involved in the technical development of the first three software products, and this record of study provides an outline of these products. The unique contribution of the author emanates from his ability to integrate civil engineering and management knowledge with computer science experience to supervise the development of practical software applications. The purpose of this report is to document the experiences acquired during that internship and to show that the objectives of the internship have been met. |
