Begun on 19 June 2019, the purpose of the internship was to relate the
understanding of the basic Civil Engineering knowledge with the practical
construction field. The Project was under construction which contains
understanding of drawings, execution according to the plans, laying of steel and
casting of concrete. The project contains construction of Cold and Packing,
Warehouse, Nitrogen Plant, Hydrogen Plant, Power House, Overhead Water
Tank, Circulating Water Pump, Sand Storage, Furnace Oil Tank and Chimney. It
was a mega project that was going under the Consultancy of Tariq Float glass
itself however the Construction was divided between two companies, half of the
construction work was going under Banu Mukhtar while rest of the work was
under the scope of Sanaco Construction Company. I was working as an internee
Engineer for Banu Mukhtar Construction Company, it helps me to understand the
basic concepts of Civil Engineering field. I was learning under the Supervision of
my supervisor. The experience will help me to apply my educational knowledge
to the practical filed and also makes me able to understand the drawings quite
better than before. Although I stayed there for Six weeks only but it add’s a lot of
professional and practical knowledge to me, it will surely help me to execute my
knowledge according to the desired location and condition. Overall the
experience in the construction field was extremely good and I really enjoyed to
learn and work with the Civil Engineering expertise.

2.2 Brief details on schedule of the internship program

2.2.1 First Week

I started my work on 19 June 2019, my first week (19-06-2019 to 26-06-2019)
was all about introduction of the site where I visited multiple under construction
buildings which includes Cold End/Packing, Warehouse, Nitrogen Plant,
Hydrogen Plant, Power House, Overhead Water Tank, Circulating Water Pump,
Sand Storage and furnace Oil Tank and Chimney. During this week my advisor
explain me the purpose of all buildings and other construction related
technologies such as batching plant, Transit Mixer, crane, concrete mobile etc.

2.2.2 Second Week

At the start of second week (27-06-2019 to 03-07-2019) first of all I visited
Nitrogen Plant which was almost completed, however finishing work was going
on. My task was to learn and understand the bolting of steel columns, as the
columns was constructed above ground level and bolting was needed to connect
the steel frame work with the columns. Then I visited the Hydrogen Plant which
was located near the building of Nitrogen Plant, here my task was to learn about
the construction of DPC which includes horizontal and vertical DPC. I was
amazed to know about the function of vertical DPC as it was a new concept for
me. My supervisor explained me about the purpose of vertical DPC that it is
provided to prevent the water to seep through the building and to protect it from
rising dampness.

2.2.3 Third Week

In the third week (04-07-2019 to 10-07-2019) my duty was on the power house
where I saw the construction of Generator pad of 1 meter depth for placing large
generators on the ground floor, cable trenches and cavity wall (sound proof) on
first floor because there were offices and controller rooms. At this site my task
was to draw the layout of cable trenches according to drawing and then calculate
the amount of concrete required for filling the trenches. Another task assigned to
me for the inspection of lying of steel in one way slab that whether the quantity
and spacing of steel provided was according to structural drawing or not. In the
beginning my supervisor guided me how to check spacing of steel then he asked
me to complete rest of the task on your own.

2.2.4 Fourth Week

In 4th week (11-07-2019 to 18-07-2019) my duty was specifically on chimney
construction and belt conveyor during my training period. I have to observe the
different activities during the construction such as Foundation and column
concrete poring, Steel Fixing and Formwork, Lean Concrete mix design,
Compaction Monitoring, Excavation Monitoring, Curing of concrete work and
Slip Forming.

2.2.5 Fifth and sixth Week

In these two weeks I learn Quantity Estimation from the Quantity Surveyor Mr.
Muhammad Hanif. He teach me different techniques to calculate the quantities.
For the Quantity estimation it is important to have the knowledge of field work
that's why my supervisor assigned me tasks related to field. First of all he gave
me different structural drawings to read and understand.

2.3 Detailed description of the tasks

The following is the detailed description of the tasks that was assigned to me.

2.3.1Nitrogen Plant

Purpose
It is used to blanket furnace electrodes to reduce safety hazards and prevent
oxidation. In float glass processing, nitrogen is used in combination with
hydrogen as a protective atmosphere to prevent the tin bath from oxidizing.

Nitrogen boils at -195.8°C, is perfectly suited for the cooling process essential to
some glass manufacturing and in container glass manufacturing, liquid nitrogen is
injected to cool air to temperatures between 10°C and -30°C. This provides the
optimum cooling rates needed to simultaneously cool the inside and the outside
of a container.

Cooling both surfaces simultaneously stabilizes the container rapidly without

inducing excessive stresses in the glass. Quicker stabilization also means the next
container can be formed quicker, increasing production capacity. And, since the
nitrogen quantity is controlled automatically, air temperatures remain constant
around the clock, ensuring consistent quality and helping to improve the pack rate
as well.

Task
At Nitrogen plant my task was to learn and understand the bolting of steel
columns, as the columns was constructed above ground level and bolting was
needed to connect the steel frame work with the columns.

2.3.2 Hydrogen Plant

Purpose
Hydrogen is extensively used in the float glass process. An atmosphere of 5-10%
hydrogen in nitrogen is used to blanket, and prevent from oxidizing, a tin bath.
Molten glass flows from the furnace directly into the float bath. From here, glass
is floated onto a bath of molten tin (highly oxidizing) and this process results in
glass that has very low distortion and is used for automotive and architectural
applications. Hydrogen reacts with oxygen that diffuses into the float bath
atmosphere and keeps the tin from reacting with oxygen. If it reacts with oxygen,
tin forms an oxide that will cause flaws in the glass surface. Molten glass is held
in a controlled atmosphere with a ratio of approximately 90% N2 and 10% H2
and once cooled, the flat glass becomes hard enough to be removed. The
hydrogen in the controlled atmosphere acts as a scavenging agent to ensure an
oxygen-free environment, because the molten tin is highly sensitive to oxidation,
even in trace quantities.

Task
At hydrogen plant my task was to learn about the construction of DPC which
includes horizontal and vertical DPC. I was amazed to know about the function of
vertical DPC as it was a new concept for me. My supervisor explained me about
the purpose of vertical DPC that it is provided to prevent the water to seep
through the building and to protect it from rising dampness.
2.3.3 Power House

Purpose
Power house is the most important unit of the Tariq Glass Factory because we
know if the mechanism of glass production stops due to some reason the melted
glass will get frozen and the whole mechanism will get disturbed. So this unit
contains large powerful generators and controller room for continue supply of
electricity.
Tasks
Layout of Cable Trenches
At this site my task was to draw the layout of cable trenches according to drawing
and then calculate the amount of concrete required for filling the trenches.

Inspection Of Slab
Another task assigned to me for the inspection of lying of steel in one way slab
that whether the quantity and spacing of steel provided was according to
structural drawing or not. In the beginning my supervisor guided me how to
check spacing of steel then he asked me to complete rest of the task on your own.

2.3.4 Chimney
The detail of these observation is given below as following.

2.3.4.1 Excavation Monitoring

Excavation was done for belt conveyor and chimney foundation construction. I
was there to observe and enhance excavation quantity considering the safety
precautions.
2.3.4.2 Compaction Monitoring
I ensured to achieve the desired compaction level by using sand-cone method to
determine the field density of soil.

2.3.4.3 Lean Concrete mix design

I checked that the work is being completed according to provided mix ratios and
especially to adjust the water with atmospheric conditions.

2.3.4.4 Steel Fixing and Formwork

I observed the steel fixing and formwork according to provided bar-bending
schedule and drawings.

2.3.4.5 Foundation and column Concrete poring

I have to check the concrete proportions according to the mix design provided
and then I observed the concrete poring done by concrete lifter. I also observed
the Compaction done during the concrete poring process.

2.3.4.56 Curing of concrete work

Ordinary Sulphate resisting cement was used so that Curing was done by
polythene film to enhance speed of concrete poring and to remove formwork after
24 hours.

2.3.4.57 Slip Forming

One of the most interesting part of my internship was to observe the slip forming
construction for chimney construction. Slip form construction is a construction
method in which concrete is poured into a continuously moving form. Slip
forming is used for tall structures (such as bridges, towers, tall chimneys,
buildings, and dams), as well as horizontal structures, such as roadways.

CONCLUDING REMARKS

3.1 Overall Experience of the Internship Program

My overall experience was good and helps me to understand the basics of Civil
Engineering. It was first time that I got a chance to relate my educational
concepts with the practical field. I found both of them very different, this could
be the fault of our educational system because the students who are although
good in educational system but they are fail to execute their educational
knowledge when they come to the practical field.

3.2 Recommendations for University Placement Office

1. The intern recommends the university to carry out constant supervision and
monitoring of students during the internship training so as to encourage them to
perform the duties fully and also accurately. This will also put a close link
between the academic supervisors and the field supervisors so as to foster
appropriate assessment of what the interns are doing in the field.

2. The University should help students to secure internship positions according to

their respective programs undertaken at the University through giving students
recommendations in order to ease their training periods and also avoid the ache
gotten by students in search of internship placements

3. Should continue with internship program, this is because it helps to prepare the
students for their careers in future and also enable the students to practice the
theoretical knowledge obtained during class be exercised practically. It also helps
to develop students understanding of work ethics, employment demands,
responsibilities and opportunities.

3.3 Recommendations for Internship Organization

1. More opportunities to students to do intern in their organization; The intern

would also recommend the Organization to continue giving internship placements
to as many students as they can because some miss this experience which is also
important requirement of the University due to the fact that they failed to get
placements.

2. Serious supervision to the workers and students, the organization should

increase and ensure more supervision over the employees in order to work
effectively and also eliminate workers who relax, work lazily and perform
actively after seeing their supervisors.

3. Job enlargement. The management of company should also carry out job
enlargement and enrichment such that it mitigate the conflict amongst employees
for roles and tasks. This will ensure good industrial relations between the
supervisors and subordinates at the organization.

3.4 Suggestions for Improvement in Civil Engineering

Program

During the past 50 years, this culture change has been institutionalized in the
civil engineering education process, but it is not sustainable. This experiment of
separating education from the practical side of engineering has not served the
profession very well, as respect for engineers as professionals has drifted lower
during this time. We must figure out a way to include the nontechnical
professional and practical (art) component in the credentials of engineering
faculty.

The undesirable consequences of the culture change can be addressed with

some creativity and changes in our thinking. Engineering is a profession of
practice, and the education process must support this concept. Also, as
engineering is a profession of practice, it would be beneficial to have internships
required to graduate with a degree in civil engineering. But until industry is
willing to commit to providing internship opportunities, this cannot occur as a
requirement.

Some changes to and opportunities in civil engineering education that would

improve the culture and attitudes in the profession are as follows:
• Nontechnical engineering skills should be added to engineering curricula.

• Professional and leadership skills should be added to engineering

curricula.

• Professional attitudes should be communicated by all faculty based on

the values they gain in practical and other professional experience.

• Each faculty member should be a proper role model for students,

especially in the area of professionalism and attitudes.

• Faculty should have a proper balance between the technical and

nontechnical skills.

• The process of engineering education should be considered as a system,

and all education efforts, including research and teaching, must support
this system.

• The practical aspects of theories and concepts must be integrated into

every engineering course to reverse the separation of the education
process from the practical aspects of engineering.

• The faculty incentive and reward system should give appropriate credit
for practical engineering skills.

• Engineering faculty must have reasonable, current, responsible practical

engineering experience as a prerequisite to hold the rank of full
professor.

• Opportunities should be created for all civil engineering faculty members

to have an additional 6-month sabbatical, approximately every 4 to
5 years, to work as a practicing professional engineer.

As a point of reference, most architect faculty are required to be licensed, and

to obtain this license requires the applicant to have several years of practical
architectural experience. The same should be required of engineering faculty.
Conclusion
In the engineering education process and culture, educators need to keep what is
working well but modify and improve whatever is necessary to correct the
unintended consequences of the major culture change in engineering education
toward the theoretical and away from the practical (art) and professional. The
education process needs to prepare the complete engineer, not just the technical
component, so that engineers are prepared to be leaders, not just problem solvers
and followers. Engineering educators are role models for students and need to
portray a professional culture and attitude in preparing future engineers.
Therefore, opportunities must be created for faculty to obtain and maintain their
practical credentials. These suggested changes and improvements to the culture
and attitudes of engineering educators will be a significant step toward meeting
ASCE’s Vision 2025, and they can be made without undoing the improvements
brought about by this culture change.
