Internship Training and Report

PROJECT: INTERNSHIP TRAINING AND REPORT

This module is aimed at introducing students to the requirements, activities and operations involved in working in architectural / construction practices. The purpose is to facilitate the involvement of students in professional attachments to architectural practices in order to develop an understanding of the general nature, principles and procedure of law and legislation as applied to architectural drawings, especially the Building by laws. Students will also be exposed to the process of authority submission for various drawings from an architectural practice and the range of contract documentation produced to support these drawings.
 

Via a full-time internship attachment, students will further appreciate the documentation and report-writing skills required of an employee (architectural assistant / architect) in a typical architect’s firm.

​

  • Create awareness and understanding among students of the existence and application of the Uniform Building by-laws and similar Building Regulations existing nationally and internationally

Attached below is the report and log sheet of the internship practice:

Throughout this two months of internship, I have gained knowledge more than I could gain from school. Working in a real life field is totally different from what is like working with assignment teammates in university. Besides, I am also aware of every drawings have to fulfil authority requirements for submission or else the drawings will be rejected and extra fees have to be paid as well. Also, there are dateline set for the submission of the drawings. If failed to submit on time, punishment of payment have to be made as well. I have been through working overtime during this internship just to fold the papers so that the drawings could be submit on time. It is almost similar to when we were rushing for our assignment submission in university. In a nutshell, working life is somehow similar to our life when we are still studying but with more responsibility.
