CONCLUSION

Overall, this internship was a useful experience. We have gained new knowledge, skills and met many new people. We achieved several of our learning goals. We got insight into professional practices advocated in current trend. We learned the different facet of working within a well-established industry. Related to our study we learned more about the design phases and actual construction procedure.

Furthermore, we have experience that it is important that education is objective and that we must be aware of the industrial aspect of the topics we study. The internship program for me was not one sided, but it was a way of sharing knowledge, ideas and opinions.

This internship was also good to find out what our strength and weakness are. This helped to define what skills and knowledge we must improve in the coming time. We can confidently assert that the knowledge we gained through this internship is sufficient to contribute toward our future endeavors. At last this internship has given us new insight to a motivation to pursue a career in core architectural department.
