Presentation on Industrial Attachment

Internship Report University of Rwanda, 2018

Industrial attachment is one of the main courses in civil engineering programme. The period of the training was ten weeks started at 11 th June to the 24 th August 2018. The purpose of this course is to apply the class theoretical knowledge into real practical work. There was two main parts in my training the first part was practical part and the second part was office work. The student can be trained as site engineer; it gives opportunity to supervise the construction work closely, or as design engineer using software programs such as AutoCAD, ArchiCAD, Microsoft Excel in Civil Engineering project. In order to comply the industrial attachment objectives, I gained and learnt more from my summer internship. I participated in all technical works done at construction site include site preparation; interpretation of technical drawings; building setting out; rebar reinforcement works such as cutting, bending, reinforcement binding of structural members; footing and foundation excavations; carpentry works such as formwork preparation, scaffolding; quality assurance and quality control of concreting operations such as volumetric batching, concrete ingredients mixing, transportations, placing into well prepared formworks, compactions with the aim of consolidating fresh concrete to remove void and avoiding bleeding and segregation, curing with aim of achieving cement hydration which leads to the strength of concrete, removal formwork and finishes; stone and brick masonry works; checking quality of construction materials; human resources management; site management; practical skills of using tools and equipment at construction site. During my internship, I also increased knowledge about team work skills, time management skills, working under pressure, meeting with deadline, multitask management. Industrial attachment played great role in my studies where I practiced the class theoretical knowledge. So, I am hopeful and confident that the future will be bright in my career of civil engineering profession.

Industrial attachment is an important exercise which enables student practise what they have learnt in class into a real life situation. As part of an academic curriculum, attachment helps the student to develop and enhance academic and professional competency. This industrial attachment lasted for three months from 26thMay– 26th August 2014. This report gives details of Tracom College, its background, Mission, Vision, Organisation structure, core values, functions and its main objectives. It also explains critically the work experiences in the department I was attached in Tracom College including the summary, conclusion and recommendation.

Kumasi technical university's three months to six months industrial attachment program helps students gain industrial experiences such as engineering/skills, commerce, technology, and other relevant knowledge needed.

The readymade garment (RMG) industry of Bangladesh commenced its journey in the late 1970s and within a short period of time emerged as an important player in the economy in terms of export earnings, employment generation, and poverty alleviation and empowering of women. Bangladesh exports its RMG products mainly to the United States of America (USA) and the European Union (EU). Garments exports from Bangladesh have been growing at an impressive rate in recent years. In 2007-08 alone, the garment export earned, a record level of US$10.7 billion in 2007-08. Moreover, it accounts for over 75 percent of the country’s total export earnings, provides employment almost 5 million people, accounts for over 10 percent of the country’s GDP, and contributes around 40% of its manufacturing output. The prospects of RMG sector, however, in Bangladesh not only depends on availability of cheap labor and government’s liberal policy but also depends on compliance with codes of conduct. Compliance means to comply with something or 1 Senior Lecturer in Management, Department of Business Administration, Northern University Bangladesh 2 Assistant Professor, Business Administration Discipline, Khulna University, Khulna 72 Journal of Business and Technology (Dhaka) yield to the wishes of another. RMG sector of Bangladesh needs to improve the factory working environment and various social issues related to the industry. International buyers are very particular about compliance with codes of conduct before placing any import order. Poor housekeeping, storage system, ineffective monitoring and controlling system, disorganized production layout, lack of team– based work, rented factory premises, narrow staircases, closed environment, insufficient light and air, clean drinking water, separate wash room for male and female, etc. are common practices in most of the RMG factories in Bangladesh.

In general, industrialization indicates to the age of transformation from agrarian society to the technology-based structure of human interaction. In Bangladesh, there is no existence of industrial society in reality, but as an emergence in the establishment of factories for production took place, the social phenomena among the people attached with it became a matter of interest.
