SPECIFIC JOB INFORMATION

3.1Our daily technical duties and responsibilities. Formatted: Font: Times New Roman
As a Trainee, we have many daily technical duties and responsibilities during our internship
period. Hence the major daily technical duties and responsibilities we had performed are:-
3.1.1 Reading
For the memorization of school courses and to know some constant specifications, we have to
read/refer written materials on water construction especially GIS, survey, cartography,and,
contract and other related texts.
7
3.1.2Data collection by GPS
The purpose of this chapter is to give instructions for collecting the data in the field. For instance
we could measure the X Y and Z coordinates of a point water meter. The point could represent a
Hydrant, a Valve or could be a corner of a Valve chamber.
If it represents a Hydrant or a Valve we need to have a code that gives the information in a
correct way to the GIS specialist who is going to use the X, Y to put the Hydrant or Valve in the
GIS database. In the case that the X,Y represent a corner of a valve chamber, then there should
be made a sketch that connects the X,Y of the corner point with the chamber , and the pipeline
and valve that are within the chamber.
This chapter describes collecting data with a GPS device, making sketches, collecting data that Formatted: Font: (Default) Times New Roman, 12 pt
are necessary for the data model and collecting Meta data such as who did the job and at what
date.
3.1.3 Downloads data from GPS to computer Formatted: Font: Times New Roman
Downloading data is transferring data collected from hand GPS to the computer to analysis,
display and other purpose. This done through the data transfer cable to connect computer and
GPS. Formatted: Font: Times New Roman, Not Bold
3.1.4 Georefrence map Formatted: Font: Times New Roman
Geo referencing is a seriess of concepts and techniques that progressively transform Formatted: Font: Times New Roman
mMeasurements carried out on the irregular surface of the earth to a flat surface of a map and
make it easily and readily measurable on this flat surface by means of a co-ordinate system.
8
In simple terms, georeferencing is the process of registering a geographic data set to an Formatted: Font: Times New Roman
accepted coordinate system. A scanned toposheettop sheet is in the raster format. Raster data are Formatted: Font: Times New Roman
often recorded with respect to

the raster coordinateraster coordinate system. In order to display and analyze raster data, it Formatted: Font: Times New Roman
is necessary to
Ttransform them into a map coordinate system. This is achieved by performing a transformation
n Formatted: Font: Times New Roman
that converts the raster coordinates (row, column) into the corresponding ground
coordinates
(E, N or lat, long). This type of coordinate transformation is known as georeferencing. Formatted: Font: Times New Roman
3.1.5 Digitization QuantizationDigitization of features

This support sheet is designed to make you familiar with the process of adding new features to a
feature class by way of manual on-screen digitizing in ArcGIS. When referring to this document,
keep in mind that digitizing and editing features in a map is a complicated and extensive process.
Here we describe and illustrate only some of the most elementary, but important aspects.
Terminologies
Snapping; the process of ensuring that one feature (or part of it) coincides exactly
wWith the coordinates of another feature. When digitizeing, this option allows you to make sure
that features connect to each other so that your work is more accurate.
Snapping tolerance; The distance within which the pointer of the mouse or a feature snaps to
another feature.

4.1 How The Internship Fits Our Career Goals
It is a clear fact that practice makes everybody perfect. Means that the theoretical and sciences
obtained from reading and schools are approved through internship by exercising thoroughly
with the actualreal work. Hence internship fits our career goals especially in using, reading and
manipulating map, converting raw data to software’s and collecting data.
 Supervising and exercising in daily GIS activities.

 To accustom with technology, skill, aptitude and working with others to be more
productive.
 Knowing surveying Techniques and Procedures.
 Teaching us best social life with project workers.
 Able to relate theoretical knowledge with real works.
 Making us when and how to make solution and decision…etc.
 To think analytically, solve any problems that challenges and make confusion on the field
4.2 Changes Made To Our Career As Result Of The Internship

4.3 Our feeling about the value of internship. Formatted: Font: Times New Roman
Exactly we are appreciatedWe appreciate with the internship program, because it is was a great
chance to approve/clear any doubt concerning theoretical knowledgegain with actual real work in
relation of our hosting organization. Therefore,So we would like to invite all students to enjoy
with Training program to be perfect in all work aspect and hope in continuation of internship for
the future generation
4.4 Recommendations for improvement of internship.
The University should have to make correlationshipcorrelation ship with different

organization/company to assign it’sitshis students for internship in which good experience can be
achieved, which means famous company produce well trained students and in turn shows
modality of the university. Means MeaningthatThis hostmean host organization should be
identified and selected by the department advisor or other person in charge. The university
should also have to teach some software in addition to theory, especially for school of
Engineering before assigning/sending the students for internship, for example for Geomatics
Engineering students, Design software is a mandatory as we observed from our hosting
organization’s Geomatics works. Furthermore, And it will beis better if the evaluation of the
final internship report should be:-
 By grade system, to make trainee follow the daily activities attentively and effectively
during their internship period. While pass or fail may turn the students to be careless.
 The judges chosen for evaluation of quality of final internship report should gather all
sufficient information about what and where the Trainee was doing before evaluation day.
The money allocated for intern students isare very small compared to current lLiving standard,
which cannot fit the accommodation and food of intern student.
Regular personal meeting of advisor and supervisor to identify the problem of the intern hasve to
be consideredcared over. At the last we would like recommend, it is better if university
’s(Department advisor) will discuss with supervisor to make well programmed internship and
revise internship paper content.

Summary
As we have to try to mention all in above, having internship program for undergraduate Formatted: Font: (Default) Times New Roman, 12 pt
university students are is the core of tTeaching and lLearning process, .sSince practice makes
perfect. Especially for School of Engineering lLike our dDepartment (Geomatics Engineering), Formatted: Font: (Default) Times New Roman, 12 pt
practice helps the students to scale up their knowledge through exercising in different types of Formatted: Font: Times New Roman
Engineering works in field with the application of school courses. Hence, we were very glad in
thisregarding this internship program that helped us too deeply undertake our tasks in our Formatted: Font: (Default) Times New Roman, 12 pt
concerning department.
Therefore, having internship in AWSSE made us to appreciate and know our profession and Formatted: Font: Times New Roman
construction industry performance as well as improve our practical skills and theoretical
knowledge with our endeavor and know the value of the Software, , professionals, GPS, weather
conditions and so on. GenerallyIn general, from our internship, we had improved our knowledge
related to education and interpersonal communication skills, work ethics (punctuality, reliability,
efficiency, tolerance, loyalty, honesty and etc.) and how and when to come overover come
challenges with solution, leadership skills and management.
