SEMESTER 4.5
INTERNSHIP TRAINING & REPORT
Module Synopsis
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.
Module Teaching Objective
The teaching objectives of the module are:
• 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.
• Generate an awareness among students with regards the different activities that occur within the typical architect’s office.
• Introduce students to the requirements of keeping log-books and accurate/informative project documentation.
INTERNSHIP REPORT & LOG SHEET
During the internship training we are require to keep a weekly log sheet of activities, to be discussed with lecturers and assessed via lecturer / employer observation & feedback upon the visitation ( as shown as below).
At the end of the internship we also need to produce a report with detailing our contribution to the office during the work attachment period.
Last but not least, I am very grateful to be a part of member of the company, I did learnt a lot from there and all thanks to my colleague and Ar. Shin.
