EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

As a part of the curriculum, I have successfully undergone internship program in P.T. Wijaya Karya
(Persero) Tbk. (Wika) for 10 weeks long under the supervision of Ir. Mohamad Wahyono M.T (main
office) and Mrs. Dian Ayu (project site) from June 24th until August 30th, 2019. It becomes a
requirement for a Bachelor of Civil Engineering to be well versed in both theoretical knowledge and
its practical application in real situation. The internship training is an eye opener regarding the actual
functioning of different departments in an organization and inter departmental relationships and its
significance is thoroughly understood during this period. I had worked under the department of
industrial plant (DIP), in which it is mostly involves in oil and gas projects. The time spent working
under this department has given me knowledge and experiences which I cannot find in the university.

This report includes the progress of works on the construction site for all the projects handled
by the company. The activities are explained in detail including the location, organizations, project
management, results and achievements. Some documentation of the projects also attached in
appendices and attachments of this report.

First three weeks of my internship program in Wika, I have worked in their main office. The
company has already become an EPC (Engineering, Procurement and Commissioning) contractor.
Since the company is an EPC contractor, I had to also understand the basic knowledge of other
engineering disciplines, which is Process, Mechanical, Instrumental, Piping and Electrical
engineering. I was studying most of the software that are used by the civil engineering disciplines
which is STAAD Pro and SAP2000. I also had to study the codes and standards that are used in
Indonesia, which is the American, Japanese and Indonesian. Although they use different codes and
standards from Malaysia, the method of calculation is similar.

Then I was sent for site placement out of town for a month. The project name is ‘Pekerjaan EPC
Proyek Pembangunan Terminal LPG Refrigerated’. The most knowledge that is very interesting from
the project is the construction of the jetty and the elevated foundation under the tank of Propane and
Butane to produce a Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG). The remaining two weeks, I was sent back to
the main office to represent my understanding and knowledge that I have got from the site.

Overall, with this internship program, I not only saw real-time application of engineering skills
but also the organization of industrial setup. It got me acquainted with Oil & Gas engineering industry
as well as basic maintenance procedures and engineering drawings.

CHAPTER 1

INTRODUCTION

1.1 BRIEF BACKGROUND OF THE ORGANIZATION

1.1.1 Organizational History

WIKA was formed by the nationalization process of a Dutch company named, Naamloze
Vennotschap Technische Handel Maatschappij en Bouwbedijf Vis en Co. or NV Vis en Co. Pursuant
To Government Regulation No. 2 / 1960 and Minister of Public Works and Electric Power (PUTL)
Decree No. 5 dated 11 March 1960, to be named Perusahaan Negara Bangunan Widjaja Karja.
WIKA’s line of business at the time was electrical and water pipe installation works. In the early
1960s, WIKA took part in the construction project of Gelanggang Olah Raga Bung Karno in order of
Games of the New Emerging Forces (GANEFO) and the 4th Asian Games providence in Jakarta.

Various improvements were made in overtime to keep growing, as well as WIKA dedication to
contribute the development of our nation by providing construction services throughout the country.

WIKA underwent expansion with the establishment of several new divisions, such as Construction
Civil Division, Building Division, Housing Facilities Division, Concrete and Metal Products Division,
Industrial Construction Division, Energy Division, and Commerce Division. Many projects being
handled at the time, among others the LIPI Building, Bukopin Building, and construction and
Irrigation Project. Moreover, with the progressive growth of its subsidiaries in the construction
industrial sector, WIKA has transformed into an integrated and synergetic infrastructure company.

WIKA’s personnel expertise in construction industry have pushed the Company to further explore in
various business areas by establishing a number of its subsidiaries to become independent as business
ventures that specializes in creating their own respective products. In 1997, WIKA establish its first
subsidiary company, named PT Wijaya Karya Beton, a reflection of how fast the Concrete Division
growing in WIKA at the time.

PT Wijaya Karya Beton's activity at the time, among others, is the rail tracks provision for the
Manggarai double-track lane construction in Jakarta, Grati Gas and Steam Power Station (PLTGU)
construction and also Barelang cable-stayed bridge in Batam. The establishment of PT Wijaya Karya
Realty in the year 2000 as expansion of the Realty Division was follows PT Wijaya Karya Beton
steps. Subsequently at the same year, PT Wijaya Karya Intrade was also established as the expansion
of the Industrial and Commercial Division

1.1.3 Human Resources

To WIKA, every employee is considered as human capital. The concept of human capital adopted by
the Company recognizes that the quality of employees can be improved by investing in them and
providing them with competencies, knowledge, attributes, and abilities, embodied in the ability to
perform labor so as to produce economic value through providing a suitable development program.

The leadership factor plays the biggest role in determining the Company’s performance and success.
For that reason, the Company believes that a leader shall be created intentionally through a series of
development programs, trainings or systematic assignments in WIKA’s Advance Leadership Program
that provides all aspects of hard and soft competency in “Wikapratama Learning Center” and
“Wikasatrian Leadership Center”.

In addition to the good qualities of the leaders, the best work ethic and values of local wisdom are also
adopted to be applied in the Company’s good governance with the aim to improve the
competitiveness in order to face the global challenge.

“Wikasatrian” is a leadership training center provided by the Company for soft competency
development of its potential employees. Located in Desa Pasir Angin, Gadog, West Java,
“Wikasatrian leadership center” is founded using the local wisdom in the form of “wayang”, a
traditional Javanese puppet. This leadership training is provided through experimental learning
wherein each participant can experience and learn about the essence of life and work values. Each
trainee is expected to become virtuous leader who is strong, able to improve team work, and is
capable to deliver excellent performance. In addition to that, they will give the best contribution to the
Company as well as to Indonesia, as the Company’s major shareholder.

The Transformational Leadership, a leadership program arranged by the Company, is under the motto
“Proud to be an Indonesian Leader”. They are expected to become “Manusia WIKA” who is
persistent, adaptable and willing to learn. Each program is created to generate candidates of leaders so
they can give real contribution to the Company and environment by upholding cultures and local
wisdom in coherence with the development of their hard and soft competency. The Company also
gives reward to employees with good performances.

1.3 OBJECTIVES OF THE ACTIVITIES

Obeying the requirements from the company, it is an obligation for the engineering graduates to
undergo training in their respective field of studies, to acquire practical knowledge of the things
taught in class before graduating from tertiary institution. As an engineering student, is not exempted
from this training, since it is a criterion of graduating from the institution.

Prior to the commencement of the industrial training in PT. Wijaya Karya for the 10 weeks period,
there are several objectives of the activities conducted, that generally will allow trainee in developing
the attributes and expertise required by the industry.
Objectives of this training are to:
1. To enable students to integrate theory with practice

2. To introduce students to work culture and industrial practices

3. To provide opportunity for students to work with industrial practitioners

4. To expose students to potential employers

5. Enable them to recognize through deep involvement or directly in the various aspects of civil
engineering design concepts such as planning, construction and administration of engineering
projects.

6. Expose students to the organizational structure of the department or firm where training and
recognition of the role of a particular position in the organization.

7. Provide an opportunity to train students to write technical reports. These reports provided the
training course will be essential for their future careers.

8. Expose students to the real working world and instill trust and responsibility to the students.

9. Add and widen technical knowledge skills.

10. Raise awareness and increase the interest of students in university students.

11. Enable students to combine theories to practical tests.

12. Get to know and be familiar with the safety regulations in the industry as well as inculcate
honesty and responsibility.

13. Inspire the student to continue to improve themselves in their respective fields.

Shortly, the industry training is important as it is an early exposure to working environment in the
industry. In addition, it also can cultivate the spirit of teamwork and good communication and so the
graduates are readier to face the workplace in the future.

CHAPTER 2
JOB TRAINING, EXPERIENCE AND ACCOMPLISHMENTS

Throughout the 10 weeks of my industrial training in PT Wijaya Karya, I was supervised by the
principal civil engineer of Industrial Plant Department, which is IR. Mohammad Wahyono. For me,
this was an opportunity to explore and discover the civil engineering industry, and I was not about to
let anything get in my way. First plan was to expand my networking area.

My training in PT. Wika commenced on 24th of June 2019, and I was oriented around the office with
my supervisor to get to know the disciplines available in that department. Then we briefly looked
around the office to make me familiarized with the working environment. I worked under the
Department of Industrial Plant (DIP), thus it is an oil and gas industry. The people in the department
were very friendly and welcoming. After the orientation the office, my supervisor introduces and
explain to me about the company and its organization. He explained the projects that are currently still
going on which the department is handling. He told me to choose which project that interests me the
most, so that I can be placed there for at least a month to be familiarized with the work and the
environment as well.

Figure 1 The main office

 7

Figure 2 Department of Industrial Plant

Within the first three weeks of my stay in the main office, I helped my supervisor and staff engineer
in the administration as printing out drawings and documents, followed up with meeting to record a
minute meeting, and at the same time I studied the calculation that have been done in a specific
project by using STAAD Pro. Thus, by helping the engineering staff do their work, I can ask them
questions regarding any civil work in return.

Figure 3 Friday Talk

 8

Every Friday on the fifteenth of the month, my department (DIP) usually held a morning routine talk,
which usually talks about health and safety of the workers in the office. Following an aerobic as well
and a light breakfast for everyone.

The following five weeks, I was placed on a project site for site supervision, which is located in
Merak, Banten. The project is constructing a terminal of LPG refrigerated. The client (PT. Pertamina)
has requested the contractor (PT. Wika and Posco Engineering) to extend the volume of production of
the Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG). Thus, they client made the contractor to build a Propane and
Butane tank in order PT. Pertamina can have their own process LPG, instead of purchasing from
outside.

On site, I was supervised by the lead civil engineer who was in charge of the civil works of the
project. She thought and showed calculations regarding the structures that has been done. She oriented
me throughout the site so I would be familiar with the environment. I have followed the Safety
Morning Talk (SMT) every day at 7 AM where everyone gathered at the assembly point. They talked
about the safety on site and its rules and regulations. And after that, there was a toolbox meeting,
where the project manager will advise the staff on what to achieve on that day.

Figure 4 Safety Morning Talk

When I came to the site, the project has already reach 98% progress, thus most of the civil works have
already been done, only visual inspection and as-built drawing check is left. The 98% progress
includes: 1) Preliminary and management task, 2) Engineering, 3) Procurement, and 4) Construction.
The 2% is for precommissioning and commissioning.
 9

I have involved in the after-construction work, where I must inspect the drawing according to the
situation on site, whether there is a comment from Quality Control point of view or engineering point
of view.

CHAPTER 3

PROJECT ACTIVITIES

3.1 Overview

This chapter discussed about the activities done during the ten weeks period of the industrial training
in Wika main office, and at which I was told to go on site in Merak, Banten – Indonesia for a month,
named Pekerjaan Engineering, Procurement & Construction (EPC) Proyek Pembangunan Terminal
LPG Refrigerated. The project aims to increase the volume of the production of Liquiefied Petroleum
Gas (LPG), by building a tank of Propane and Butane fluid for which by then will be processed to
produce LPG. The client may also at the same time sell the raw material.

3.2 Training and Basic Knowledge Practice

In the first three weeks of the industrial training in the main office, I was confused by the calculation
that has been done in several projects that was shown to me. I couldn’t understand the format and the
values that was applied.

After several days of understanding and asking the engineering staffs, the values that was applied are
from ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials), JIS (Japanese Industrial Standards) and
SNI (Standar Nasional Indonesia).

3.2.1 Standard Code Basic Knowledge

The first task that was given to me was to identify the differences between ASTM with those in
Eurocode. I was told to identify in which Eurocode is the specific characteristics or values are used
from the ASTM. There is not much difference because actually the main point of the code and
standards are still the same.

Figure 7 Table to identify the differences between ASTM & Eurocode

 11

3.2.2 STAAD Pro Training

Basic modelling software that is used in the company by the civil disciplines are STAAD Pro and
SAP2000. Before the beginning of my training, I was told to take STAAD Pro training class so that I
can follow up the work. The use of this software is to analyze the efficiency of a structure we
modelled, by adjusting the profiles of the steel or concrete and the loadings applied.

The steps on how to use the STAAD Pro software for modelling steel structure is as follow:

1. New project.
2. Click ‘Space’ if we want to create 3D structure and ‘Plane’ for 2D structure.
3. After modelling the structure, go to ‘General’:
 Property: to choose the section and profile of the structure
 Support: to add supports
 Load & Definition: to add loads that should be considered when modelling
4. Go to ‘Analysis/Print’, then click Add
5. Go to ‘Design’,
 Define Parameter: - Add FYLD and Ratio
 Commands: - Add Checkcode and Member take off
 Assign to selected beams

6. Click ‘Analyze’ the Run Analysis.

7. Click ‘Post Processing’ – put aside the combination load on the right.

8. Lastly, check for failed members.

 12

Figure 9 The structure is stable

Figure 10 Stresses applied

The above picture shows a shelter that is now used as a fire station on the Tanjung Sekong project.
The loadings applied are usually stated on a design basis given by the client. It has all the variable
loadings and combination loads. Without enough loading, missed section profile or insufficient
member will cause an error on the Run Analysis in which we will have to remodified.

Terminal LPG Refrigerated

Figure 11 Location of Terminal Tanjung Sekong

When coming to the project site, I was told to conduct a safety induction which was one of the
requirements for a newcomer who will be working on the site. It explained about the safety and
regulations of the site and what to do when there is any natural disaster occurred. It shows where the
assembly points are and where are the evacuation routes.

After induction, they briefly explained about the basic mixing process of the refrigerated propane and
butane where it will produce the LPG. The refrigerated propane’s temperature is -45° Celsius while
butane is -15° Celcius. When the propane and butane will be sent from the ship, some of it will
condensed which will then must be converted to gas phase.
 14

3.3.1 As-Built Drawings Check

When a document have gone through the Quality Assurance which is the IFR (Issued for Review),
IFA (Issued for Approval) and IFC (Issued for Construction), an As-Built drawing will be produced in
order to adjust the drawing with the one that have been planned on site. As-built drawing is done by
contractors by the end of the construction. During the implementation of a project, sometimes there’s
a work where it is adjusted with the site condition at the moment. Thus, the reason why As-Built
drawing is produced because if there would be changes on another day, the parties those are in charge
of doing the repairmen or treatment can know the real condition of the structure from the particular
As- Built drawing.

The above shows an instrumental and electrical engineer checking on the electricity panel for
generator of the boil gas compressor. They were checking on their as built drawing at which the
cables have been connected as specified.

3.3.2 Mapping of Pipe Supports

On the project site, pipe supports plays a very important role as it holds and support the pipe from
hanging. To check if the pipe needs an additional support, the pipe needs to be shaken by hand and if
it causes a vibration after shaken, thus it need support. The civil engineering staff has designed the
pipe supports according to the piping engineering requirements. The staff designed the supports by
using SAP2000, because it’s a simple structure.

Figure 19 Sketch of mapping pipe support

I had mapped for supports on Jetty head 3, where when I did a visual check and most of the pipes are
unsupported. Because of that, I had to investigate the 3D drawing from Navis Freedom software in
which it has already been done on the starting of the project.

After mapping of the supports on rough sketch, I have modified on the platform drawing and need to
be mapped according to the sketch. The details should be placed as neatly as possible, in order to
avoid confusion for other discipline to refer to the civil work.

When it is done, each profiles section of the support must be design according to its 3D drawing. By
referring to the 3D drawing, we can identify the profile and the measurements without the need to
wait for the materials to come on site. When it is finished designed and mapped on the AutoCAD, it
has to be submitted to the client to be Issued For Review (IFR). After it has been reviewed, the
 18

drawing will move on to Issued For Approval (IFA) and after it is approved it should be Issued For
Construction (IFC).

3.3.3 Visual Check and Checklist of Drawing

When I was introduced with the Quality Control of the civil engineering, I was assigned to do a visual
check on drawings that are still on the status of IFC (Issued for Construction). This visual check is
required to be done by Quality Control in order to know whether the following construction is suitable
and safe to be used.

From what I have observed while visual checking, most of the bolts have not been galvanized.
Galvanizing the bolts in required in order to avoid corrosion because the location of the project site is
just beside the sea. Rust, typically on steel or iron, is iron oxide, and the oxide can flake off or be
picked off. When this happens, more of the material is exposed to oxygen, and the oxidation process
continues.

There are two types of steel used in construction projects: galvanized and untreated. Galvanized steel
is coated with zinc in order to reduce rusting, add durability and allow for easier priming and painting.
The galvanization process produces noticeable crystallized pattern with matte, shiny and yellowish
color variations. On the other hand, untreated steel is smooth and uniform in color and will not last as
long in applications where it is exposed to the elements or moisture.

How to test to see whether a steel is galvanized:

Step 1

Prepare a solution of three parts salt to one part water that will be used to test the steel sample.
Exposing the steel sample to the salt and water solution is the quickest and easiest way to determine
whether or not your sample has undergone the galvanization process.

Step 2

Dip an old cloth into the salt and water (saline) solution and wipe it on the sample of steel. Set the
sample aside for 24 hours to allow the it to develop rust. Heavily saturate the sample in order to allow
the saline solution to permeate the steel.

Step 3

Examine the sample for the presence of rust after it has rested for 24 hours. Untreated steel will show
the presence of rust within a day's time, while galvanized steel will not allow rust to form. The zinc
coating becomes a part of the structure of the steel during galvanization and prevents corrosion.
 19

Step 4

Lick the sample of steel if you are still unsure whether your sample has undergone the galvanization
process. Galvanized steel tastes chalky and the taste is distinct and very noticeable.

Step 5

Assess the results of your tests and look closely at the color of your samples. If your steel sample
shows variations in color and pattern and lacks the presence of rust, it is probable that the sample has
been galvanized. If the sample is uniform in color and it rusts, it is safe to assume that it is untreated
steel.

Figure 20 Galvanized (left) and Not Galvanized (right)

After identifying any missing or unsafe condition on site, the QC will write the comments on the
checklist which have been prepared by the document control. On the checklist form, contains the
profile, bolt structure, dimension, anchor and more. When there is a comment on the specific area, it
should be written according to the given table and write the sheet number in order to avoid confusion.
 20

Figure 22 Checklist form and its drawing

3.3.4 Individual Pre-commissioning Test

On the scheduling of the project, pre-commissioning is the second last step which is done before
commissioning in order to check for any damaged or error. In pre-commissioning, it is only done on
electrical, piping, mechanical equipment test, tanks for its hydrotest and insulation, loop connection
and function test.

Figure 23 Pre-commissioning of Enclosed Ground Flare

 21

The Enclosed Ground Flare (EGF) is used to burn out excess gas of LPG, Propane and Butane. This
flare is not like a typical flare like in any other industries where it is openly burned and the fire will be
shown out from the chimney. But for EGF, the gas is burned inside and only the exhaust will be
release. The instrument that used to operate the EGF uses a nitrogen gas, which will not corrode and
oxidized the instrument.

The operating instrument of the EGF is owned by a Korean company. Thus, when doing the
individual test, an operator from the company itself came to do a first time trial and instructed the
contractor on how to operate it.

When the test was going on, the client’s consultant was there to do inspection. And so in the end of
the test, the consultant was responsible to sign the commissioning test form.

Figure 24 Example of an Open Gas Flare

The following picture is when pre-commissioning of the Electrochlorination Package, where it is used
for cleaning up of the sea water. This electrochlorination package is located on the Sea Water Intake
(SWI) station which will then provide clear and clean water to the site project.

The process of the test is also the same as the EGF test, but this is one is based on the mechanical
engineering work only. I didn’t really see thoroughly on how the process of the machine works,
because of the crowded workers.

3.3.5 Final Presentation to the Client

In the end of my training, I was requested to do a presentation by the client (PT. Pertamina) in order
for them to know whether I have understood and clearly familiarized with the things that’s going on at
site.

I presented to the them the plot plan of the site and every detail of each location. Then moving on to
the management organization of the project and its scheduling. And then the process of producing the
LPG from the raw materials which is refrigerated propane and butane. Lastly, I explained the
highlight of the project which is the elevated foundation of the refrigerated propane and butane and
the precast concrete for piperacks.

Figure 28 Plot plan of Tanjung Sekong

 24

Figure 29 Management organization of Tanjung Sekong project

The reason why HSE (Health, Safety and Environment) is right under the project manager alone is
because they are the most responsible for everyone on site, they have bigger responsibility to be taken
care of. And the administration there is F & HC which stands for Finance and Human Capital.

Figure 30 Project Scheduling of Tanjung Sekong.

 25

The project is now at 98% which is most probably some construction and pre-commissioning is nearly
at 100% and the commissioning is still at 0%. They have scheduled to start commissioning of the
project at late September until early October.

Figure 31 Mixing process of Liquified Petroleum Gas (LPG)

The following picture shows the elevated foundation of the refrigerated propane and butane. There is
a reason why the foundation must be elevated, and it is because if the soil freezes due to the
refrigerated raw materials, it will affect the strength and durability of the soil. And technically, if the
foundation is not elevated, a heater must be placed under the tank so the fluid of the propane and
butane will easily flow through the pipe.

Figure 32 Top view of the future pile

 26

Figure 33 Pile supporting the foundation of the tank

When piling the piles, the workers found a soil lens which is a hard gravel layer thus making piling
difficult and it will break the pile. The solution of this problem is that they have put a Mamira Pile
Shoe under the pile which will easily pass through the hard layer. This soil lens is not distributed
uniformly so only a few pile used the pile shoe. Total piles used at one tank is 590 piles.

CHAPTER 4

CRITICAL ANALYSIS

4.1 STRENGTHS OF THE TRAINING

4.1.1 Skills and Knowledge

Learning process during industrial training was a great opportunity for me to gain skill, knowledge
and experience. The supervisor responsible in monitoring during industrial training. They also
responsible on giving guidelines and information. By the help and guidelines from the supervisor and
staff, I can improve the skills and knowledge.

4.1.2 Real Working Environment

Throughout industrial training, I was exposed to the real situations on working environment. Trainee
are exposed to the real life at construction site where the actual situation of construction works.
Through the project site meetings and site inspections, it was a great fortune for me to experience how
the problems arose or complaints from clients on site is managed. Thus, I would have a greater
awareness and build up skill of the duties and responsibility of the civil engineer in the construction
industry in the event of any problems that would encounter in the future.

4.1.3 Leadership Awareness

Although I do not have opportunities to lead any project or working group throughout the training,
however I am able to gain some useful leadership insight by observing how some of the company
superiors lead their subordinate. From my observation most of the company superiors applied
autocracy, coherent and straight style of leadership.

4.1.4 Interpersonal Skills/Presence

The training has improved my ability in interacting with other people such as peers and superior. It is
fun to deal with this people, especially when they were willing to help and explain to me about thing
that I did not understand. Most of the company operators is foreign workers and this allowed me to
learn the differences between culture and its relative influence on their perception and behavior.

4.1.5 Project Management

Involvement in project documentation has widen my knowledge on project management. The usage
of software also was a big help in managing several critical items of the projects. Thus, more exposure
to project management works will be a good start to join the project team in working industry in the
future.

4.1.6 Self-Management

Getting to know what it is like to work in the real industry have tough me how to conduct myself
properly in a business environment. I can improve my time management, more punctual in work and
meeting report deadline. I also learned how to wear appropriate attire to work and manage my
appearance well.

4.1.7 Communication Skill

During the training, I able to improve my communication skill especially my English languages skill
both spoken and written. This is because English is the most used language in the company for
everyday communication and report paperwork.

4.2 WEAKNESSES OF THE TRAINING

4.2.1 Time for Industrial Training

The time for industrial training is very short and limited. Ten weeks period was a rush since I was sent
for outstation for four weeks for the site placement, but I because the project has been done 98%, I
couldn’t see much of the civil works that has been done.

CHAPTER 5

SUGGESTION/RESOLUTION AND CONCLUSION

5.1 SUGGESTIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

While undergoing 10 weeks of industrial training at PT. Wijaya Karya, there are a lot of new
knowledge that I have learnt, regardless of the knowledge which related to our respective course or
the knowledge for office management itself. With the implication of industrial training, students get to
experience the real nature of working environment. This enable students to instill certain a certain
quality in them and can reduce nervousness. Other than that, by implementing industrial training,
students were able to adapt oneself with problems that often faced by every employee, this will enable
students to become more mature and can carry out the duty that was given to them with the best
efforts. Everything that has been learned by the students while undergoing the industrial training will
be useful to them when they reach their working days later in their life

Apart from that, there are also a few matters that need to be improved by either the university or the
firm or the company itself. Among the improvements that can be suggested are:

1. The managements of the faculty (industrial training coordinator) should held more visits to the
place where trainees who were undergoing the industrial training more than once along the 10 weeks
of training to monitor their development and to ensure that students are always on the watch and
monitored at all time.

2. The firm were supposed to understand students more. What does it mean by understand students
more is that the firm should not give the student any work that they do not know without giving any
guidance on how to do the work correctly and leave the students to figure it out by him/herself. This is
because sometimes, the work that had been given was yet to be learned by the students, so, they need
some guidance first before they can start working on the task that were given to them.

3. The management must positively compliment the workers and staff because it will give them
morale booster. As for conclusion, the organization should regularly hold activate to foster a strong tie
between all workers.

Generally, by undergoing industrial training, students have been given a valuable experience and the
understanding on the relationship between what they had learned theoretically with what they need to
do practically. However, during this industrial training period also, the students had been given the
opportunity to adapt themselves with new discovery that usually are not learnt in the university.

5.2 CONCLUSION

As a conclusion, I gained a lot of experience after undergoing my ten weeks of industrial training.
Within ten weeks, I am now capable in solving basic engineering problems, especially those problems
that may arise in real working conditions. The industrial training has met all the objectives and its
success has surpassed my expectations. It has opened my eyes to working life, enlightened me
socially, and matured me as an adult. It has strengthened my technical base and enabled me to
integrate theory with engineering practice. Furthermore, it has given me clear sense of direction in my
future studied career to be a civil engineer.
