    The key takeaways from the passage are that engineering applies science to optimize natural resources for human benefit, and that internships bridge theory and practice by providing real-world experience. Internships offer opportunities to apply knowledge, learn construction and project management skills, and practice workplace ethics and safety.

    The factors considered while selecting a construction site include location, climate, availability of materials, cost, time frame, and serving the needs of the local population by providing access to services like shopping, medical care, schools, and transportation.

    Tests conducted during soil investigation include drilling, standard penetration testing to evaluate soil strength, collecting disturbed and undisturbed soil samples, and measuring the groundwater table.

    Introduction
    Engineering is the professional art of applying science to the optimum
    conversion of the resources of nature to benefit man. As a careeroriented applied education, Civil Engineering Students Internship
    Program (CESIP) bridges the gap between theory and practice and
    provides students with practical, field based, real world experiences during
    their years of study. CESIP provide us the following opportunities:
    a.
    b.

    Apply theoretical knowledge in industrial application.


    Acquire knowledge of various stages of construction, project
    management and team-work.
    c.
    Practice ethical and professional work culture.
    d.
    Provide opportunity for students to work with industrial
    practitioners.
    e.
    Implement Health Safety Environment (HSE) practices at
    workplace.
    For these practical & technical skills we participated in CESIP-2012
    under GENETIC LIMITED construction firm.

    The aim of this report is to apprise you about the practical experience
    gained by us from ongoing project activities during the package of CESIP.

    3.Development of a Project
    3.1 Site Selection

    The following are the few factors which generally taken into account
    while selecting a site
    1.
    2.
    3.
    4.
    5.

    Location
    Climate of region
    Availability of raw materials for
    Cost and time frame
    Population of the region

    The selection of a site for affordable housing should reflect the


    particular needs of the population that housing development will serve.
    An important consideration is the
    Page | 1

    location of the property in relation to the services residents will need to


    access, such as shopping, medical, schools and transportation. Location
    of the site may also have a significant impact on the cost of project.
    In Genetic Limited we have found that they have a survey team. In
    the initial stage they visit the site and find if the condition is
    satisfactory according to their company policy. While selecting the
    sites they follow some of the criteria. Like1. The land should be in a condition that no filling of land is required.
    2. The minimum land area should be five Katha.
    3. The location of the land should be in the prime location of
    Dhaka city. Like Basundhara,Baridhara,Gulshan,Uttara etc.
    4. The land should be undisputed.

    3.2 Soil Investigation


    Soil Investigation is carried out for designing a right type of foundation
    safely and economically, a designer must possess sufficient
    information about the physical properties and the arrangement of
    underlying materials. The field and laboratory investigations required
    to get this essential information is known as soil exploration.
    A standard soil test report contains the following features.
    a)
    b)
    c)
    d)
    e)

    Introduction.
    Location & level.
    General notes on sub-soil investigation.
    Scope of the work.
    Field investigation.
    i. Drilling & recording.
    ii. Standard Penetration Test (SPT)
    iii. Disturbed sample collection.
    iv. Undisturbed sample collection.
    v. Ground water table.
    f) Laboratory test.
    Following tests should be conducted.
    i.
    ii.
    iii.
    iv.
    v.
    vi.

    Grain size analysis.


    Moisture content.
    Direct shear test.
    Specific gravity test.
    Atterburg limit test.
    Density test.
