Internship Training & Report
In this short semester, it 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.
Upon completion of internship training, students are then required to write a 1000-1500 words report which documents their working experience during the internship along with photo attachment of the work that they have done.
