During my time as a Civil Engineering Trainee at ECO International Engineering Consultants PVT. LTD., I had the opportunity to work in both design and construction environments. In the design office, I focused on learning how to use industry-standard software programs like Revit, ETABS, SAP2000, MIDAS, and Tekla Structures. These programs are essential tools for civil engineers, as they help us create accurate and efficient designs for buildings and other structures.After gaining a solid understanding of design principles and software applications, I transitioned to a construction site. Here, I observed the construction process of a 5-story steel building for AQUA Dynamics Pvt. Ltd. This experience allowed me to see firsthand how the theoretical concepts I learned in the design office are applied in real-world projects.
