Fulfilling Experience: “With the knowledge and experience I gained throughout these 2 years with AcePLP, I was planning to be doing more than just drafting. Maybe I would pick up a field I’m best at and consider being an engineer. 2014 & 2015 has been beneficial for me and I hope I can excel in my future career ” - Muhammad Isa
I joined AcePLP sometime in October 2013. I graduated from Temasek Polytechnic with a Diploma in Mechatronics in late 2008 then I served my National Service (NS) for 2 years. After NS completion in 2011, I didn’t pursue an engineering career initially, until AcePLP offered me a position as a Trainee CAD/BIM Engineer. It was a 26-months traineeship programme inclusive of 2 months intensive training. Where else would we get training and be paid? I told myself I would definitely gain from the programme so I decided to take up the offer. I have experience in AutoCAD software for a semester in my polytechnic years so I roughly had a basic concept of the software unlike MicroStation and Revit. I had zero knowledge on these softwares. None! And, unfortunately, my batch had to start training on MicroStation. The first 2 weeks was definitely tough for me. I struggled. Very fast paced and I had to absorb as much as possible though it would be better if the training duration was a little bit longer. Thankfully the in-house trainers were friendly and approachable. They were always ready to answer our doubts in no time. And not to forget, we had night classes too providing tips and tricks on each of the software which I find very useful and helpful. After my classroom training stint which lasted for about 6 weeks, I prepared to go on-site to serve my first client, Chubb Singapore Pte Ltd. I was to replace a senior at Gali Batu Depot doing a Fire Protection System project. When I reach the location with my Line Manager, I was a little upset. It wasn’t how I pictured working in a construction site would be – I had to work in an office container that was dusty and crammed. Working and communicating with foreign workers was also not an easy task. But as time went by, I began to adapt to the surroundings, and I found that it wasn’t that bad working in a construction site after all. The project manager, engineer and also their senior drafter helped me a lot along the way. They possessed a great amount of knowledge and skill on the related field. Few months passed and I managed to gain a lot of experience. I even got the opportunity to go on-site to take pictures and perform some site measurement (e.g. distance between 2 sprinklers, fire alarms & call bell). After about 5 months, my assignment with Chubb ended and I was posted to Inova Audio Visual Designs Pte Ltd which is in Swee Lee Building, somewhere in Aljunied. My assignment with Inova was only a short 2 months as they were rushing a few projects at that point of time. The workers there, or should I say colleagues, were the friendliest bunch. They all treat each other equally even the director himself! We would go for lunch together and also discuss about work related issues together too regardless of the different companies we worked for. Though 2 months is relatively a short period of time, I managed to bag home some basic knowledge on Audio Visual layout and to produce basic schematic diagrams.

Right after my assignment with Inova Audio Visual Designs Pte Ltd, I was posted to CPG Consultants Pte Ltd at Novena Square. This attachment’s duration was also 2 months. There were a lot of projects they handled but the main task for me was to help their engineer draft mechanical and electrical layout for a temporary substation. Along the way, I was tasked to give some suggestions on designing the layout of the mechanical ventilations/components and electrical points. The engineers and superiors were always there when I was in doubt although they work in a fast paced environment, because of the number of projects they have to handle. I benefited enormously from the 2 months at CPG. I learned a lot about mechanical and electrical systems within those 2 months. How I wished that this assignment was longer! It was after my assignment with CPG that I came back to headquarters for a few weeks. A few weeks of service specification updates, self learning/recapping and practice of the software until I was attached to an architectural project. It was a 12-storey condominium project at No.3 Balmoral Road. Tew Kim Thai (TKT) Development Pte Ltd was the company I was attached to. For the next 6 months, I gained a great amount of knowledge about Architecture, such as door/window, cabinet details, landscape drawings such as swimming pools, floor plans, elevation drawings and also tile layout & floor setting out. I didn’t really expect architectural elements to be this complicated. By this time, I was already comfortable working in a construction site because of the experience I had during my first attachment. Communication was an easy task for me. The architectural coordinator that I worked with is like a friend to me. I worked closely with him throughout my 6 months there. He taught me a lot of architecture and even brought me on site to take pictures and measure setting outs between points.
From my view, this was the most enriching experience for me by far. 6 months passed and I was back at the headquarters. I was there for a month and doing all the routine work such as self learning and practicing. I also went for a few project discussions (PD) with other clients during that month. I got another assignment with Siemens. It was a Russian project, Yamal LNG. My task was quite straightforward. All their drawings were already done except for minor amendments and the alignment of texts to make the drawings as nice as possible. After the amendments were done, I’d have to compile all the drawings to PDF to be submitted. Looks easy but the number of drawings are plentiful. The engineers there were nice. They were ever helpful when I was in doubt and the way we communicate is as if like we’ve known each other for years. 5 months passed and my contract ended. It was a worthwhile experience there and I made a number of friends there as well. Knowing that I would have a month between assignments, I spent that month in headquarters practising my MicroStation skills, which would be used for my next assignment. Note that all my previous attachments/projects were in AutoCAD. It was at Siemens too but I would be doing a different project. An LTA project which requires me to draft electrical cable routings involved in a train station. My colleagues there were great particularly the senior drafter and the designer. Knowing that my MicroStation skills was rusty, he assisted me when I had difficulties with the commands. I learnt a lot about the different types of electrical systems in a train station. It had a fruitful 3 month there with them before I ended my 26 months traineeship programme.

Isa’s Advice for Trainees 1)
If anything you’re unsure of, don’t be shy to ask. You might gain a lot more from the question itself.
2)
Take down notes on anything that you think might be useful.
3)
Maintain a positive attitude at all times. When you experience negative or positive encounters during on-site assignments, just think of it as a learning platform. By doing so, you might be able to gain lots of knowledge.

ACE EXPERIENCE Training opportunities and on-site experience
First Impression AcePLP opened up new experiences for me in the AEC industry. I was intrigued by the apprenticeship programme as I felt that it was an opportunity for me to have a head start in the industry. It was like a mid-career change for me yet a fresh start with a new environment. Training Experience Starting out was not easy. I was not familiar with the software but the trainers were very helpful. The trainings provided were essential; but the real deal is when we are being assigned to work with real clients. Onsite Learning I have been on seven different assignments in a span of a year here in AcePLP. I still remember the first time I was assigned out as a relief for one of the Engineers who is off on medical leave. Although it was not an actual assignment for me, it was rather nerve-wrecking because I have not gotten any clue on what will be in store for me. Assignment after assignment came by, and I got myself exposed to the different companies and their different cultures. Adjusting to clients companies came as a routine. All of which I brought back different experiences. Attachment I was assigned to five clients; Bosch, Wah Loon, AlcatelLucient, CKR Contract Services, ABB and Electromech. Two of the assignments involve placing surveillance to practical locations in the AutoCAD drawing, and the other was laying out conduits connection to the AutoCAD drawing of Terminal 4. Last but not least, I liaised with an engineer to draft out P&ID drawings. On-the-job We can use knowledge from our tips and tricks classes, such as shortcut keys, to make a positive impression on our clients as that makes us look competent. It is very important for you to fully understand what you draw. Industry challenges The challenges faced differ from company to company. Having trouble finding the engineers for instructions, to having a manager breathing down my neck every now and then. But we as drafters, will have to understand the severity of the project on hand to be able to centre ourselves when all these predicament occur. The industry is fast-paced; we have tight schedules and deadlines to work with. At times, we have to juggle multiple projects while different engineers come to seek us for amendments and drawings.

On-site challenges Engineers are not always on site. Hence, you need to take initiative to submit drawings through emails and messages. Aside from that, leaving behind notes and information facilitated our communication. In overcoming the challenges, I had self-practice sessions using the software and personalizing shortcuts to expedite job efficiency while waiting for instructions from engineers. In-House Projects When working on in-house projects at AcePLP, we have colleagues and trainers to assist us on obstacles that we are not able to apprehend. The clients will come to the office and he will go through the things he wants to get drafted. Projects that I have completed include SIV Engineering, TTSH Project Simulation and JTC Ramp. SIV Engineering This was a Snow Theme Park project and we found ourselves interacting with a German client. It was an interesting first ever project that me and my batch mate, Nicholas, worked on. We were required to draft out our own layout plan for the theme park based on the requirements given by the engineers. TTSH Project Simulation Together with my batch mate, Zakie, we were tasked to integrate layers to the different drawn items in the given AutoCAD file. It was an experiment to determine the efficiency of our two different approach to the project file. Moving forward The apprenticeship programme has given me exposure to different industries; from M&E to Electronics to contractor and consultant firms. I hope to be able to use my understanding of AEC industry in all aspects of what I do in future. I believe that we can be anything we want, as long as we have a profound understanding of the subject. The experiences have been quite an eye-opener for me. With every new experience, I realized that there are more to learn. AEC industry is not simply just lines and shapes but an array of knowledge and skills all coming together to be applied on real life situations. All in all, it has been a worthwhile experience. I plan to pursue a degree and take up courses that can be beneficial has giving me an edge for me to thrive in the industry.

Learn beyond ACEPLP’s training rooms What was your impression about the apprenticeship programme before and after you joined AcePLP? When I came for the interview and saw the programme, it piqued my curiosity and made me want to find out what would be in store for me should I decide to join. The opportunity that AcePLP provided seemed promising as you would not only be learning about one software, but three. With the inclusion of various additional lessons after the initial training period, it appeared to be a wholesome learning experience for a drafter/modeller. It offers the possibility for me to improve my skills when posted out on assignments. Since I have never worked with any of the software offered within the programme and having factored in its potential prospects, I decided to join AcePLP.
During the training, what was the hardest thing to learn? What was the easiest? How was the trainer? Please elaborate your experience throughout the training period. Personally, the most challenging element was learning the Autodesk Revit software. Regardless of its satisfying end results, the process incurred in order to achieve it was somewhat excruciating, especially when the model file gradually becomes larger in size. There were a lot of mistakes made, but it was through them that accelerated my learning curve. On the contrary, the Autodesk AutoCAD software was somewhat easier, particularly the 2D drawings. This is due to the fact that the software is widely used by many architects, engineers and other design professionals globally. Mr Zulkifli has proved to be a well experienced trainer in conducting the Bentley MicroStation and Autodesk AutoCAD lessons. He always shares various tips and tricks which could further enhance our drafting skills, and he also never fails to clarify any of our doubts. Regardless of the content taught by the trainers, it would only help if a lot of practice with the software is put into place.
Introduction My name is Adel Alkaff, and I graduated from the National University of Singapore with a Bachelor’s Degree of Mechanical Engineering in 2014. Upon returning from my graduation trip, I was offered a short-term contract position with NEC Asia Pacific Pte Ltd. I accepted the contract position as it would earn me some income whilst searching for an appropriate job, which eventually dragged on for more than over a year. I had decided to join the AcePLP Apprenticeship Programme towards the end of my contract position with NEC Asia Pacific Pte Ltd. In-house training experience My journey throughout the Apprenticeship Programme began in January 2016, and the first two months were filled with various in-house training sessions. It began by learning about the Bentley MicroStation software which was followed by the Autodesk AutoCAD software and subsequently the Autodesk Revit software. This is the first time that I am utilizing these three mentioned software, in addition to my prior experience of the DS SolidWorks software. There were a lot of valuable tips and tricks about each software which served to be useful in speeding up drafting and modelling, particularly the shortcut keys. The drafting and modelling process became clockwork over time with ample practice of the software.
Things that required to learn on-the-job The AEC industry is majorly occupied with blue collar workers, and they are considered the limbs of the engineers, since most of the manual labour are carried out by them at the instruction of the engineer. The mode of communication between the workers and the engineers are the drawings and models, which are prepared by us. It is beneficial if you could relate to how the installation works of your drawings are executed on-site as this could give you an idea of how the drawing would be transformed into a reality.

The AEC industry always provides various opportunities which would require your drafting and design skills. It broadens your window of opportunity to gain experience and exposure in construction projects, be it the architectural designs or engineering designs. This is an industry which has constant demand and serves as a platform for your future growth as a drafter, modeller, engineer or perhaps a manager. Has the experience gained thus far changed your opinion of the AEC industries prior to joining? Just looking at construction projects being carried out across Singapore, there always is the burning question of how it is done. Having joined this apprenticeship programme and hearing from the trainers and other seniors, the process becomes rather clear to my understanding. This gave me more insight into the process of the industry and how the little elements form up to create a successful compound, which is the project completion. It makes me realize that there are numerous services involved in the entire construction process which really generated a lot of personal interest. Advice fresh graduates who wish to enter the AEC industry My advice for fresh graduates is that you should always welcome any opportunity that strikes with an open mind and heart. Although it may not realistically be your dream career at the point of joining, but it’s the challenges throughout which would guide you to your destination.
Other project assignments keen to be taken in order to progress towards career prospect At the time of writing, I am still awaiting on my first external project assignment despite attending a few project discussions. This buffer period in between the first assignment and the official completion of the training programme is the perfect opportunity to self-practice on the various design software available within the workshop environment. The trainers as well as other in-house seniors are readily available to provide impromptu lessons or guidance, when needed, as it is a constant learning environment for all of us here. I am hoping to be assigned to projects which require M&E works, be it construction or maintenance, but I am also open to accepting the other disciplines, as you will only discover your abilities during attachments.

Syed Nazri (in blue) together with fellow AcePLP trainees
About Me I joined AcePLP after I graduated from NUS with a Bachelors degree in Mechanical Engineering in 2014. I got to know about this company through career fair and a friend who is working as well in the company. He shared with me about the learning opportunities and the experience I could gain in the Apprenticeship Programme. It is difficult for a fresh graduate like me to get a job that I am interested in as the industry requires at least 2 to 3 years of experience. I realized that I have a strong interest in 3D modelling and CAD software after going through Solidworks classes in university, and especially after playing a large role in the 3D modelling for my 3rd year design project. For this reason, the various software training that AcePLP offers caught my attention. I decided to sign up for AcePLP’s traineeship programme to embark on the exciting learning journey. Learning new CAD software like AutoCAD and MicroStation was a challenge for me as I had never touched those before. The ever friendly and experienced trainers definitely helped make the 6 weeks of in-house training easier. The most fun lesson I had was the Revit Architecture course as we were given the liberty to design our own villa and render it to a photorealistic image. It was like playing a Sims City game. Attachment After the in-house training, I was posted to CPG Consultants Pte Ltd Environmental Department for my first on-job assignments. I was mainly tasked with the mechanical drawings but they would also provide me with other types of services as well such as electrical and structural. At CPG Consultant, I was assigned to the T202 Thomson Line Tender project’s temporary pumping station to divert the sewer lines along the new Woodlands North Station. My main job scope was to assist the engineer in designing the mechanical ventilation and the water supply system for the pumping station to send for tender. I was required to prepare various types of drawings, from floor-plan layouts to sectional details and isometric single-line drawings. There was a lot of coordination involved among the mechanical, electrical engineers and also the architectural side as to avoid clashes in each service.
ON-THE-JOB TRAINING SYED NAZRI Hiccups & Challenges I was not only involved in one project only as there were other engineers in need of help with their drawings. Due to shortage of drafters, I also had to help out the other drafters to complete their drawings as well. At one point I had to do both the mechanical and electrical drawings for the same project. As there were many various projects, the amount of work kept piling up. It was difficult to manage all the drawings at once. In order to keep track of all the tasks, I wrote them all down in a to-do list paper. I completed the easier tasks first and in order of priority and strike them off. That feeling of striking off a completed task is amazing and it definitely helps manage my stress levels. Furthermore, sometimes the engineer will rush me for the work which will lead to mistakes, and doing double work. As every plan and section drawings are related, every minor change in one drawing affects the other drawings and I had to amend each drawing separately as they are all in 2D. Eventually I got used to managing separate drawings with the similar systematic approach of listing the tasks down. Especially when submission deadline is near, things can get a bit hectic if not done properly. Issues like last minute work can’t be controlled by me but if there is downtime, I will try to check through the drawings for any discrepancies so when submission comes, there will not be much problems. Another issue was when I was required to use MicroStation for a particular project. I first noticed that the layout of the buttons were very different from the MicroStation I was used to in the AcePLP training room computers. Then I realised that this was a 2004 version MicroStation. Panning with the middle mouse button was disabled as default and there were no shortcuts, so I had to manually click the buttons for every function. This made my work very slow and inefficient at first. However, with time, I got used to it. The engineers were grateful that I was able to use MicroStation as well so there was no need to convert the drawings to AutoCAD format.

Learnings outside the in-house training The senior drafters helped me a lot as they were aware that I was inexperienced and new to the industry. They guided me and showed me how the drawings are supposed to be done according to the standards. The engineers were helpful as well as they did not only instruct me on what to draw but also explained why they were designed that way since understanding the drawings is very important. They emphasized the standards I had to follow when designing the mechanical systems such as the Code of Practice 13 (CP13) for the mechanical ventilation and CP48 for the water supply system. As the engineer I was working with was relatively new, I got to share with him my insight on the drafting work as well like the symbols and some of the layering standards in CP83. I also got to help them visualise their ideas when they were having problems. One of the tasks I needed to do was to print out a set of A1 drawings. It was my first time printing in A1. Since the main office only has a printer which can print up to A3 size papers, I had to fill up an order form to request for printing at the Architectural office as they have the huge printers. I didn’t know printing in A1 was so expensive. There were a lot of things I wasn’t aware of about the AEC industry prior to joining AcePLP. There are many processes involved like the tender stage, construction stage, submission and the code of practices. There were various authorities like NParks, HDB, FSSD, WSN that require submission. The same drawing may be sent for different submission and may require additional or different information. Some of the submission was for consultation and some for approval from the respective government bodies.
My advice As a fresh graduate, I consider myself lucky to have such a learning opportunity. I would advise the upcoming graduates to stay humble and be willing to learn more not only after schooling. Do not expect too much. University education only teaches us fundamental theoretical solutions to problems we may experience in the industry. Not everything we learnt in school can be applied in our jobs and some may even be irrelevant depending on your scope. However, the real learning begins when we step out of school and into the real world. Be patient when you are trying to launch your career. I have seen a lot of my friends struggle to get a job after graduating. Do not be too picky, use your first few years to get experience. With experience, you will eventually be able to pursue a career that you are passionate about. It has just been 8 months since I joined AcePLP and I look forward to more projects related to my field which is in Mechanical Engineering. Especially BIM projects involving Revit MEP. I believe it is a very efficient tool in designing mechanical systems and also to coordinate with other services. I would love to learn more about BIM projects and the processes involved as well. It will definitely help with my aim to pursue a BIM modeler/coordinator role in the future. I managed to learn a lot in a consultant firm although if possible, I would also love to take on a construction project to have a different perspective. I want to be able to see the actual product of my drawings as I was not given the chance to go on-site in a consultant firm.

Healthy Living! Go beyond, achieve wellness Breakfast provides you the energy to start your day right while a fit and healthy body needs sufficient nutrients to keep going. Start getting to know why you should add a little seed and nutty flavour to your day.
CHIA SEEDS These tiny superfood came from the desert plant Salvia Hispanica. “Chia”, meaning “strength”, is an edible seed grown in Mexico dating back to both Mayan and Aztec cultures. These cultures are known for using these seeds as energy boosters. Did we not mention it is packed with a flavourful punch?
WALNUTS A nut of any tree of the genus Juglans, this nutritious edible kernels is a good source of heart-healthy monosaturated and omega-3 fats. However, like other nuts, walnuts should be eaten in moderation since they are also calorie-densed.
ALMONDS Relatively low in calories, almonds have more calcium than any other nut, making them a great food for overall health. Plus, they are rich in fibre and vitamin E, an antioxidant that helps fight dangerous inflammation and possibly healthy conditions such as lung cancer and age-related cognitive decline. Because they are so versatile, you can buy them raw, toasted, silvered, or coated with a variety of fun flavours.
OAT MILK Soy milk contains agents that can contribute to a range of hormonal changes. Switch to oat milk instead. Oat milk is made with pre-soaked oat groats, which are hulled grains broken into fragments. The benefit to drinking oat milk is its nutritious content. Oat milk contains 10 minerals and 15 vitamins. Lactose free and calcium-rich, you can start counting while drinking.

EASY AND EFFECTIVE EXERCISE Apart from proper nutrition, you need exercise to maintain your health. Here are simple but effective moves you can try‌
Walking This is the easiest exercise and the basic step before you move onto intensive exercises. Start with slow steps. Once you are comfortable, start increasing your speed.
Jogging This is one of the most popular cardiovascular exercises. In the beginning you may feel a little tired, but once it has become a routine, you’ll feel so fresh!
Swimming This exercise makes you move your whole body. Plus, every stroke has a different focus. For example, the breaststroke can build a muscular chest. Also, the coldness of the water can help alleviate stress.
Cycling This exercise is very effective to lose weight as it increases metabolism. Cycling also helps reduce the risk of heart disease.
