Summer Internship-I — What It Is
Guided and supervised professional training of a minimum of 4 weeks duration, organised during the semester break after the IInd semester examinations. It gives students an opportunity to experience the environment and culture of corporate construction offices / government construction and design departments / construction agencies / builders' organisations / design consultation units and commercial activities undertaken in field organisations, and to integrate theory with practice. The concerned HOD, along with other teachers, guides students in arranging appropriate training places relevant to their branch. A training schedule is drawn up for each student before starting, in consultation with the training provider, and students are briefed in advance about the organisational setup, working environment, designing and drafting process, and important machines and drafting tools used in the training organisation. A minimum of one visit by the teacher is recommended. Students keep a daily report in a diary during training, which later becomes the final report and its presentation. Students present a seminar on their summer internship along with certificate and project report.
