CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
1.1 Industrial Case Study :-
It is experienced personally and which changes the behaviour. It is of at most importance
because it overall increases the productivity of any work. Apart from this it also helps to
motivate and inspire the fresher’s by letting them know the practical work.
It refers to the work experience which is essential for professional development of an
individual. It provides work experience with specific assignment and responsibility. It helps
students to learn decision making and improve their ability.
It helps us to visualize the concepts in a better way as everything is visible on a site and this
increases our hard skills, on the other hand interacting with the people on the site increases our
soft skills and make students a little more eligible for a job in this field as we have some prior
knowledge of how things work on site.
1.2 Objectives of Industrial case study :-
i. To able to work and improve knowledge about construction on site work.
ii. To able to learn various new things and to have practical knowledge.
iii. To provide insight into various aspects of construction and how things run at
the site.
iv. To able to improve various technical skill according to demand on site.
v. To build confidence before entering into market.
1.2 Duration of Industrial case study :- 14th Dec 2020 – 12th Mar 2021 (3 Months)

CHAPTER 3
WORK EXPERIENCE
I undertook a 3 month of internship under Public Work Department.
PWD is one of the biggest government body in the country, with multiple responsibilities. So
the first thing I had to do was sign non-disclosure agreements. After that, I was assigned a
supervisor. I was expected to report back to the supervisor at the end of each week with
questions and an overview of what I had learned.
At the start of each week, I was sent to a new sites where I was briefed about the work and then
given small tasks. There were sites with different work going on like construction of bridge,
Road construction, road widening etc.
After two weeks I was assigned to do a small daily work such as checking-reinforcement
detailing, strength of concrete cubes, doses of bitumen, cross checking of dimension on field
with respect to drawing etc.
In short, I was treated and acted like a regular supervisor of the work. I had to be there at 11:00
every morning, dressed properly, and ready to have positive interactions with employee at all
times. Over those 3 months, I have developed friendships with co-workers, got feedback from
superiors, and was for the first time treated like a fully grown and responsible adult.
My three months at sites allowed me to grow personally, but it also helped me to gain new
skills on field and experience that I did not previously have. I also gained a better understanding
of the construction work on field, made a new network, and gained a few new references for
the future. But most importantly, I have a new sense of professionalism and a clearer view of
what it meant to be in the professional world.
