REFLECTION
In a short period of 10 weeks, the knowledge and skills that I have gained cannot amount to 3 years of studying in university as I got to learn hands-on and enjoy the full experience during the internship, which have helped me to better understand the life and role of an architect. Some of the things that I have learnt includes handling a site meeting, proper technical drawings, construction process, and many more. Futhermore, throughout this internship, I was involved in a much bigger sized project as compared to what we handle in university such as residential development and mixed project development.
​
Apart from hard skills, I also learnt a lot about soft skills such as improving on interpersonal relationships, importance of team work, problem solving skills, and so on. The internship was enjoyable, and my responsibilities throughout the 10 weeks are listed in my report below:
