SECTION TWO: INTERNSHIP EXPERIENCE

MAJOR DUTIES
On the first two weeks we are not assigned to the major duty. Instead the first two weeks
at the office was eval- uation weeks. Since our advisor have no clue about our skill, he
gave as an assignment to design a G+10 Mixed Use building by following all the design
steps.
After we complete our evaluation project successfully. We were assigned to the major
office duties. This in- cludes
• Designing
• Preparation of Presentation.
In general in this internship program we have tried to cover all the basic works which are
related to Architec- ture.

In succeeding any of our projects our supervisor Architect Dereje Gashaw plays a great
role. He assist as with full of willingness.
When we are working with our projects he give as an advice 4-5 per day. Not only this he
will provide as with some useful documents which will help as making our assignment.

STUDENT INTERNSHIP REPORT

This document include any related completed de- signs projects, Ethiopian Building
Code, Literature review, site analysis, site location maps and so on. For example when
we are working office designs, as a reference material he will give as completed office
design projects. So referring professional jobs will greatly support as in finish any of our
projects.

Generally our supervisor assist as in every aspect include below:

Educational tour:
• Preparing and facilitating tour in bole international
airport passenger ter- minal .in which support as like a case study in preparing Semera
and Robe domestic airport passenger terminals and ATC tower.
• Conducting a visit for the proposal design of NIB
international bank and in- surance design competition exhibition.
Experience sharing:
• In participating on the Semera and Robe Passenger
terminal design propos- als presentation held at Ethiopian Airports Enterprise meeting
room.

Improving our Practical skill

By working in such a big design company we have improved our practical skill on many
sec- tors of work in the office.
Some of the practical skills we have improved in the internship program are:

Design Process

Presentation skills

Software Awareness

Material Machine Operation

Interpersonal skills are the life skills we use every day to com- municate and interact with
other people, individually and in groups.
Interpersonal skills include not only how we communicate with others, but also our
confidence, and our ability to listen and understand. Problem solving, decision making
and per- sonal stress management are also considered interpersonal skills.
At the beginning of the Internship program we were very afraid to approach the

STUDENT INTERNSHIP REPORT

employees in the office; our contact was only with our supervisor and with the General
Man- ager. But as time goes we improve our interpersonal communication skill.
In the last four months we have been interacting with many company workers who have
different work behavior and experience, from this we have got an understanding on how
to approach and talk peoples so as smooth commu- nication can be held between each
other.
From our internship experience we can say that inter- personal communication is crucial
to efficiently finish any design projects, which involves large number of man- power in
different section of work. That is there should be efficient communication between all
work crews like Drafts- man, Quantity Surveyor, Structural Engineer, Electrical Engi-
neer, Sanitary Engineer, Mechanical Engineer, and so on. For example design
In addition we have learnt how to become active listener and to be assertive to express
my idea freely.

As we already know design needs more experience than theoretical knowledge, and since
this practic- ing worker we did not get the opportunity to work in any leadership areas.
But working as an in intern- ship student we have got an understanding on the leadership
skill.
All the works in the design and construction com- pany need a leader with ability to
motivate all the workers toward a common goal. The main aim of having leadership skill
is to lead all the workers to get a specific output.
When we were working on the office there was a General Manager called Engineer
Kassahun Mamo, who leads most of the office work. Even though is difficult to control
manpower and work activity; but with his great leadership skill Engineer Kassahun
Mamo has efficiently controlled all the manpower and over all work activity. Engineer
Kassahun have good relation with all the workers and he never say bad things to the
works when they made mistake, he only gives them advice how they should work and he
was also punctual in work.

As we have noticed in the internship program team playing skill is very important for
efficient work. Almost all the works in the design process need team playing skill. For
example in working any design the Architect needs active collaboration with the
Structural Engineer, Electrical Engineer, Sanitary Engineer and Mechanical Engineer; if
there is lack of coordination between all the workers they can’t do their work efficiently.
This we can say that team playing skill is very important in building design process.
The team that have improved our team playing skill was design and structural team.
Working in these two sectors of the company we have improved our team playing skill
and in addition to work together we have got good friends who have helped as in the
internship program.

STUDENT INTERNSHIP REPORT

In the internship program I have understood on the work ethics that all workers should
fol- low. Some of the work ethics that all the employees should follow are
• Punctuality
• Reliability
• Accountability
• Loyalty
• and responsibility

SECTION THREE: SPECIFIC JOB INFORMATION

The main technical duties that we took during in our internship session are mainly large
scale projects. This needs more time and skill. For example projects like Textile Factory,
Steel Factory, Airport Passenger Terminals and ATC Towers, Guest Houses, mixed use,
ho- tel and Offices.
So these projects will be done daily according to the work flow schedule. Which means
this project will take a week even sometimes a month. As a result of this we don’t have
daily activities, instead we took a job that take up may be a week or a month.
The specific jobs we are assigned in all over the internship session in mainly on
Design:
• This job includes active participation in any design activities
like TOR revision, Information Gathering, Concept Development, Form Development,
Schemat- ic Design and Preliminary Design.
Preparation of Presentation:
• Mainly producing 3D and floor plan renderings and preparing
presentation documents.
• During in our internship session we are ordered to make a
design and produce the presentation for the clients.

JOBS EXECUTED IN THE INTERNSHIP

SEMERA AIRPORT PASSENGER TERMINAL

STUDENT INTERNSHIP REPORT

The basic design program along with the areas is provided in the TOR. The basic
functions are cate- gorized as:
• TRAVEL FUNCTIONS
• ADMINISTRATIVE FUNCTIONS, and
• COMMERCIAL FUNCTIONS

ARCHITECTURAL CONCEPTUAL DEVELOPMENT

Concepts are ideas identified by designers as a foundation for giving form to a space,
building and / or a site. In this particular project, even though the idea of “flying” has its
own powerful influence, we are more concerned on the area, the land, the people, the
culture and the environment, so that to come up with a result which is more simple and
highly functional but a distinctive feature in harmony with its surrounding.

Most of the surface is flat, covered by overflowed lava from volcanoes

It has areas below sea level as deep as 116meters. Rainfall is minimum at an aver- age of
120mms. The high temperature and low rainfall provokes.

Their dwelling is mostly a hut made of armature of boughs bound with palm fibers and
covered with mat, which is easy and convenient for erection, dismantling and
transporting.

STUDENT INTERNSHIP REPORT

Land Evironment

People and Culture

Dome forms reduce concentration of sun rays, concrete is strong enough to resist high
temperature, large interior volumes and spaces maximize air circulation and wid-
er openings around the building let wind crossing inside and as a result help create an
ambient interior atmosphere with respect to the outside.

SECTION FOUR: CONCLUSION

Having experience in internship work, we can tell that internship is the best Way to
improve students understand- ing of the real physical system or practical engineering
works. So we recommend the concerned body to improve this internship work to better
extent so that students get chance to work in different projects to observe and learn
different things
CONCLUSION
• Improving our Practical skill
• Improving interpersonal communication skill
• Team Playing Skill
• Improving leadership skill
• Work Ethics
RECOMMENDATION
We clearly observed some problems in the internship program, and we recommended the
following advices.
• The internship must have Grade.

STUDENT INTERNSHIP REPORT

• The money given to students is not enough.
• The department follow up is so poor.
• Now a day most of the consultancy offices use Modern
Architectural softwares and other additional graph- ics softwares. So the students must
have enough knowledge with these softwares before starting their in- ternship session in
which helps the students to succeed their internship period successfully
