Thrilled to showcase my final year project presentation in Civil Engineering from December last year! 🌟🏗️ Am Grateful for 2023 which was filled with incredible learning and growth. Now, I'm eagerly seeking internship opportunities to further apply and expand my skills while waiting for my graduation in May. Let's build the future together! I am open to new challenges and ready to make a meaningful impact! 💼 #CivilEngineering #FinalYearProject #LearningAndGrowing #OpenForInternships"

Hey there, fellow Civil Engineering interns! This internship can be tough sometimes. You might be surrounded by experienced engineers, tackling complex projects, and feeling a little overwhelmed. But that's exactly why internships are so valuable – they're a chance to learn and grow! Here's the thing: every engineer, even the most brilliant ones we admire today, started as interns. They asked questions, made some mistakes, and eventually learned from them. So don't get discouraged if things don't click right away. Embrace the challenges – they're opportunities to build your skills and gain real-world experience. Here are few tips to keep you on track: 1️⃣Focus on the learning: This internship is about soaking up knowledge. Don't be afraid to ask questions, no matter how basic they may seem. From your supervisors even to artisans, ask! The more you learn now, the stronger your foundation will be. 2️⃣Maintain a positive attitude: A can-do spirit is contagious! It shows your superiors you're eager to learn and contribute. Also, a positive outlook makes the whole experience more enjoyable. 3️⃣Don't be afraid to step outside your comfort zone: Internships are a great time to try new things. Volunteer for different tasks, even if they seem unfamiliar. You might discover hidden talents or passions! 4️⃣Remember, every contribution matters: Even the seemingly small tasks you're doing are important parts of the bigger picture. You're playing a role in bringing these civil engineering projects to life! This internship is a stepping stone to your future as a civil engineer. Embrace the challenges, stay positive, and keep learning. You've got this! Have a knowledge-filled week! #civilengineeringstudent #futureofconstruction #studentintern #continuouslearning #buildingthefuture #sustainabledevelopment #societalimpact #civilengineeringpractice

"Internship complete! I'm grateful for the opportunity to have worked with [Government Municipality] and gained valuable experience in civil engineering. I've learned and grown so much. Thanks to my team and mentors for their guidance and support! #civilengineering #internship #governmentmunicipality"

WHAT WOULD I DO, IF I Could Start My Structural Engineering Journey from SCRATCH ! Looking back on my path in structural engineering, I see many opportunities for improvement. Here are some key changes I would make to enhance my learning and development: 1. Combine Fundamentals with Software Learning: For projects like designing a portal frame, I would begin by sketching and analyzing the design by hand. Following that, I would use software tools to recreate the design. This method not only strengthens my grasp of the basics but also helps me effectively apply technology. 2. Emphasize Preparation: Taking inspiration from Abraham Lincoln, who said, "Give me six hours to chop down a tree, and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe," I would prioritize thorough preparation before lectures. By understanding the core structural elements beforehand, I could better manage the information shared by senior engineers without feeling overwhelmed. 3. Learn Through Teaching: I would actively share what I learn with my peers. Teaching others reinforces my own understanding and introduces me to different perspectives. Simplifying complex ideas for others helps solidify my knowledge. 4. Focus on Practical Experience I would dedicate time to learning how to read and create structural drawings while gaining insights into the construction process. Sketching my ideas would help me visualize solutions and improve communication with architects and builders. 5. Begin Internships Early: I would look for internships earlier in my career, especially in smaller firms. These experiences provide valuable lessons in problem-solving and project management. Working in smaller teams offers a more holistic view of projects and personalized mentorship. 6. Enhance Soft Skills: I would invest in developing my public speaking, sales, and marketing skills. These abilities are crucial for effectively presenting projects and attracting clients. My goal would be to make presentations as engaging as possible, similar to TED talks, rather than simply reading from slides. 7. Maintain Curiosity and Open-Mindedness I would explore various engineering disciplines. Interests can shift, as mine did from geotechnical to structural engineering. Staying curious and enthusiastic about problem-solving is vital for continuous growth. 👷♂️ What advice would you give to new engineers? I’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments!

ABES Engineering interns are an important part of our team. This month, we are spotlighting them and sharing a bit about their experience with us. Today, meet Nimigisha Kayihura. How old are you? 17 years old. Where do you attend school? I'm a senior at White Station High School in Memphis. What does your internship entail? During my internship, I am learning AutoCAD, Civil 3D and Bluebeam. I also go on site visits to see other forms of civil engineering. What are your career goals? My career goal is to have a stable job at a good civil engineering company. I plan to be more of a designer type of civil engineer rather than one who goes into the field. What are some of your hobbies or activities? Some of my hobbies are coding, reading books and weightlifting. What do you enjoy most about the internship so far? What I have enjoyed the most about the internship is getting the chance to see how a business is run up close. I got to see how the employes interact with each other and with the boss. It was very eye opening to see what it takes to have a functional company. What's one thing you've learned in the internship about engineering or entrepreneurship? One thing I learned is that civil engineering is a wide field. You can choose what type of engineer you want to be, whether it's working out in the field or working in an office doing designs. #internships #internship #summerinternship
