This internship program is for introducing architecture students into the design
and construction environment in order to develop both theoretical and practical
knowledge and how to apply practical in addition to designed for improving or up
grading the knowledge’s.
Finally, I was also effective in my internship time, because it gave me a chance
to see what the world of work looked like beyond education.
