Industrial training or Practical Training is a compulsory requirement for students in certain programs at all level of education in all university including Universiti Teknologi Mara Malaysia of Diploma in Civil Engineering Course. It is a requirement to complete the course in order to
graduate the university. To increase the level of graduates able to work, industrial training program was introduced to strengthen the competencies required. Industrial Training courses give students learning opportunities in the world of work to receive practical experience in order to improve the reliability of the market.

It is also a program for student to learn, gain knowledge and understand about engineering problem in the real situation instead of learning in the classroom. Through industrial training,
students also learn to interact with staff at the company, how to deal with client and how process to get a tender is carried on. Industrial training consists of an exchange of services for experience between the student and organization in a short term. Tendency for engineer to share their knowledge is higher due to produce a potential new engineer.

Generally, an interns have a supervisor who assigns specific tasks and evaluates overall intern works. A supervisor will be responsible to teach and guide an intern. The trainee also must
follow all the rules and regulations of the organization as they have been accepted in their company.

I’ve started my internship on 8 July 2018 until on 2 June 2017 at Jabatan Pengairan dan Saliran Muar at Jalan Ismail, Muar Johor supervised by Tuan Haji Saadaan bin Senin, the Assistant Engineer of Technical and Contract Department.
