INTERNSHIP REPORT
PREFACE
Being a student of mechanical engineering in UET, Lahore, it is an integral and
inevitable art of my studies to get internship in the multinational organization to get
oriented with the corporate culture to learn the ethics and conventions applied there.
This provides the student an immense opportunity to evaluate themselves in the
practically exercised philosophies where the student come by a chance to explore
their qualities and pin point the loop holes which can give rise to some problems in
their future and to rectify these weak areas before they may assume alarming
proportions.
I have completed my internship in the Descon Engineering Limited World Head
Quarters, Lahore. Here I got an opportunity to observe the difference between the
theoretical and practical worlds from a very close quarter as to there lies a gulf
between the theoretical and practical approaches. Whatever can be learned from can
be rarely been had from the theory only.

History
The journey began forty-one years ago, in a five hundred square feet office space at
Lahore’s historical WAPDA house. We had a vision to embark on a journey to create
Pakistan’s leading engineering enterprise. Over the years, the spirit of our founders
inspired our people to not just achieve the ordinary but the extraordinary. This belief
became the foundation of Pakistan’s leading multinational conglomerate; Descon.
It all started in a small one room office in Lahore. The pioneers of the company came
from a fertilizer plant. It was the entrepreneurial spirit of four people who had a
vision of building a lasting institution prominent for its professionalism and
distinguished by the desire of creating a world-class engineering powerhouse. Today
that vision has come true and the journey has been replete with significant strides
forward in its history.
