I have carried out my training at two local consultancy firms, namely De Comarmond and
Associates Ltd and Luxconsult (Mtius) Ltd, with about 30 % of the training period spent at
De Comarmond and Associates Ltd.
On average, my time utilization at these 2 firms is delineated by this pie-chart, with a
majority of the training period dedicated to Engineering Design and its associated duties.

To conclude, I can say that my training at DCA and LCM has enabled me to develop a
practical approach to the theoretical knowledge gained at the university.
For example, at the university, you are only given a beam with the loadings and asked to
design it. It is only during my training that I have learnt how to work out a feasible structural
concept from scratch and then carry out design and the design and management of
projects should have a proper significance – technically and financially.
Moreover, the training period has provided me with a continuous and independent learning
platform.
My experience gained has also enabled me to take a step back and assess all the
responsibilities of an Engineer which can be overwhelming at times since there is virtually
no margin for errors and any shortcoming can be highly detrimental in terms of safety,
cost and time.
Lastly, I can say with due confidence that engineering is a continuous learning and
process and this process does not stop at the end of my training period but the latter
serves as a platform for continuous development.
This marks the end of my presentation and I thank you for your attention.
