Introduction:
I am Laura Henao, studying Bachelor of Engineering and Diploma in the field of
Engineering. I am a final year student. Besides, I am focused on other subjects like environmental
steams and civil, all at the University of Technology at Sydney.
In my report, I have directly related various engineering practices that I have come to
complete my degree. This is helpful to achieve a higher knowledge of attributes and different
characteristics to enter in the profession of engineering. This is also useful to offer students a couple
of different 24-week internship or opportunities of experiences for getting finished my suitable
workplace. Here, the study, the second 24-week internship, by me from the support from different
companies. The first one is the course of civil engineering Pty Ltd starting from December 2017 and
upto August 2018. This is as seen as compared to the overall initial 24 weeks of internships. These
are finished from Bravo Industries (NSW) Pty Ltd, which is mechanical engineering that is family
owned.
Moreover, the report of “Engineering Practice Review 2 Internship”, has introduced “Diona
Civil Engineering PtyLtd”.This includes the overview of the organization and the team members of
the projects in which I was included. This has also involved the organizational track record of
various services and products for the public sector. The study has also outlined the tools, activities
and tasks that are undertaken across the duration of 24 week program of an internship. The
experience with the initial 24 week internship, has helped in gaining important insights into the field
of engineerings like technical and sustainability developments, social responsibilities, ethics, design,
planning and management. Here, the internships have been widened beyond the knowledge and
experience that is detailed in the study.

An overview and comparison of different senior and junior memberships:
The initial week experience that ended on 2014, February at the place called Bravo Industries
(NSW) Pty Ltd. It consisted of a small scale business that is family. It is owned and in with various
specialized in producing and different type of manufacturing huge scale duct work of air
conditioning and conventional sheet metal fabrication of projects all around. This was deployed in
1992 and then entered the liquidation during February 2015. The overall scope covered the idea of
the mechanism of mechanical engineering and this was useful for me to fulfil the role of Junior
Manufacturing and assistant of production. Thus they participated in the finishing of the ductwork of
large scale projects that are commercial.

They have been dependent on the demand that has consisted of about 10 factory employees to
assemble duct work of air conditioning. Here, my role has included supporting the entry of various
ducts to the software named PM2000. This is to manufacture and process. This must be done
through machinery within the factory. It has included the assisting of quotation and estimation
process to maintain the record of the manufacturing for every kind of project and records that are
included with the ductwork. This has been needed to be processed. Then there has been the need to
conduct the checks of quality control. This includes various assembled duct pieces in the prior before
the delivery. This assures dimension, connections of duct pieces and sets that are cut correctly and
installed among other liabilities.
Moreover, the second 24 internship has been finished at Diona Civil Engineering. Here in
commenced in the last month of 2017 and ended my role on August at 2018. Next, I finished the
overall 32 weeks. Besides, the Diona came into place by the family of 1980 and developed to the
scale of over 350 staffs. This is now owned by Calibre Group which is publicly listed organization
having branches around the region of Asia Pacific. Apart from this, Diona has specialized in various
projects of urban infrastructure at Sydney Brisbane Adelaide and has been currently developing to
Melbourne.
Further, across every city, Diona has been working with national and local national resource
providers in the sectors of sewer, water, gas and electricity/ Thus roles under the organization has
range from various accounts of payable and receivable, marketing of operators, human resources,
supervisors of sites, plant engineering and laborers, management and design roles. Further, it is seen
that at Sydney the Diona has counted their primary office at the place of Rouse Hill and the office
spares of Calibre Group at North Sydney and Oran Park. Here, present active projects in the area
involve the resource relocation for Sydeny CBD and the rail of South East Rail on behalf of

7IMPACT OF COMPUTER GAMES ON DENTISTRY
Acciona, separation of wastewater and stormwater. This has been at Woolloomooloo on behalf of
the Sydney Water and the construction of 9.5 km of potable water channels. This supports the
identification and developing of SSWPLRA or South West Priority Land Release Area among
various others. Around the overall 32 weeks of Diona, it was my duty to take part the team with the
post of Site Engineer (Intern), supporting the projects encompassing the potable upgrades of potable
water main reticulation. This is across the suburban sectors from the side of Sydney Water, updates
ranging from about 80 to 250 meters of constant renewal of the overall pipe line. Moreover, I was
totally dedicated to the full-time site engineering or Intern course. This is for the package of 29 south
for Sydney Water Reticulation Package, including the tasks demonstrated hereafter.
 Park Rd, Cabramatta
 Ballandella Rd, Toongabbie
 Willoughby St, Guildford
 Wascoe St, Glenbrook
 Moreton Bay Sq, Bidwill
 Stanmore Lane, Stanmore
 William St, Leichhardt
 Stafford St, North Wollongong
 Sunninghill Circuit, Mount Ousley
 Burton St, Concord
 Short Rd, Riverwood
Here, had the scope in dealing with the intern site crews of Diona who have been competing with
the primary upgrades of main water. This is done through the process of traditional trenching and the
subcontractors who have been specializes in upgrades through the process of under boring, pipe

bursting, and HDD or horizontal directional drilling. Coordination of various material orders from
the plant of Diona and fitting suppliers and external pipes for every project, on the basis of drawing
of idea designing.
In planning and coordinating the schedule of tasks of the crew as the kind of the projects has
been quick turn across time. There, there has been till 5 various locations around the area in a couple
of weeks look ahead for various crews in moving between. Thus one could carefully plan and it must
be reminded that the resource is important. Then there has been running, scheduling and planning of
the meeting of a project in order to discuss the progress of project and team of a couple of week
lookahead. Then there has been complete Workplace Inspection Report that includes photographic
record and activity observation for the conducted site visited. Then there is the overall weekly meters
in the ground meter and lookahead of site visits for Sydney Water team of project management.
Then there are total weekly reports on the basis of completion and resources o project percentage
utilized for every individual project for the senior management of Diona. Then there is an open and
close site diary on the portal of Sydney Water Data. Then there is the conducting of Walkthrough of
the Completion of Sydney Water Project having the allocation of Sydney Water surveillance officer
for the location of the project. This is followed through compiling every quality assurances
documents. This has been submitted to the portal regarding project closure of Sydney Water Project
Web.
Furthermore, I have finished the role accompanied by other engineers. He has been involved
with Diona for over a couple of years. He was then followed by the dedicated project engineer for
the project and the senior project manager who has overseen the projects of Sydney Water projects
that is run by Diona. After completing the bachelor’s degree having general major, it is believed that
both the internships have been provided to me with tremendous insights to various areas of civil,

9IMPACT OF COMPUTER GAMES ON DENTISTRY
mechanical and engineering. Here the second internship has been providing reassurance that the
overall concentration in the stream of an environment and civil subjects have been the elements of
engineering. I was totally passionate about this. The scopes and roles at Bravo have been initially
stepping to the stone in my path of career. I have been highly grateful for that and this has been a
valuable experience in putting my resume instead of my prior duties in the retail sector. However,
mechanical engineering has proved not to be the real passion.
My roles at Bravo has been encompassing the assisting of the secondary individual in
particular task and process of the organization. This has been a seen to be a relatively low level of
autonomy along with different types of lower level of liabilities. This is as compared to Diona. Here
across the overall initial months at the present firm, I have been with various kinds of projects. This I
have been working with along with intended responsibilities and duties. This also includes the
guidance of the project engineer. The schedule has been till the end of February 2018, and the
current project engineer had gone through the leave for 21 days. This expectation has been to finish
the activities autonomously. It is done through reporting to the Senior Project Manager as needed.
On returning from the Project Engineer, I have been able to carry out my duties is distinct manner.
This is done by providing the weekly signs of progress to the meetings of projects. Here, the
ownership, responsibility and autonomy of the tasks have been high. This has been helped to
develop total independence as the intern engineer. This has also helped me to lead through instances
and get proud of my tasks and different types of weekly accomplishments. It helped my time
management and enhance the skills as I have been carrying out the tasks independently and meetings
my roles on site at the same time.

The culture of the organization during my senior Internship:
While comparing to the senior and junior internship, the roles fulfilled at each, the levels and
liabilities that are entailed and the company cultures and structures. Thus, It can easily come to a
conclusion by saying that as per my preference of the experience and the culture of the company at
Diona Civil Engineering for various causes. They are outlined below.
Here, the size of the organization, though the facilities of the main offices have been at Rouse Hill
has consisted of 80 staffs at any specific time. The culture under the office has always been friendly,
open and professional.
This layout of the primary office has not been designed as the sense of every person had their
individual space. This was the first layout promoting the co-working. The desk has been shared by
four other people that include the project engineers and various senior project managers breaking
down the idea of promoting and hierarchy that has been promoting equality among other people. The
flexibility and freedom of the working hours have been offered by Diona has been incredible for
suiting the necessities working parents in working across people’s commitments and outside
appointments. It is seen that many times across the internship I have been able to finish the tasks that
are computer-based from my own home comfort. However, at any instant, as I have to leave the
early or begin late, the manager and the company has always been accommodating.
Here, the monthly team has been held at the Diona’s head office that has been the scope to
make the new employees for feeling welcome. This is to the network and knowing the staffs that
never has the scopes in walking to regular basis enjoying the lunch under the casual setting. This
team cohesion has been among every people under the organizations, besides the engineers.
However, as one communicate with the accounts or human resource team, all the things have been
feeling like the team effort and are ever segmented by various distinct sectors. Further, the overall

11IMPACT OF COMPUTER GAMES ON DENTISTRY
company culture and atmosphere have helped me to grasp the latest lessons that must be last for a
lifetime, using mediums of communications, gaining and receiving constructive criticism, leadership
and get aware of the sustainability and social responsibility, budgeting and project management
among others.
Analyzing the meeting learning objectives with my senior internship:
Exercising and judgment in various engineering activities:
Developing secured and sustainable solutions:
The commencement of the activities at March St, Arncliffe as the element of water primary
reticulation up-dating package 31 has included the laying of about 140- meters of about 200
diameter of water pipe that is portable. The site crews of Internal Diona at the project has been
raising the ideas regarding great volumes of traffic in the sector that has been complicated for
transporting materials and found the site compound. There have been three car accidents witnesses
in the vicinity of the suggested sector within a day. Through getting aware of the dangers that are
present at the specific site and also the policy of Diona on security ground living traffic. They have
been the part of the Life Saver Rules of the company. Apart from this, I was also asked for advice
from the external HSEQ group regarding the way of impending the various kinds of live traffic
hazards. This has also included the problems of crews. Additionally, we have also scheduled the
entire and necessary meeting at the site. This is to fetch that under the real time. Here, Paul Lyndon,
National Security Manager had also came to witness the efficient, serious and potentially hazardous
and catastrophic outcomes and injuries for the site crew. Moreover, they also concluded the tasks to
get suspended until the following has been implemented. Besides, the crash rater water barriers have
been installed for a minimum of 150 m of the length at the street that includes the suggested main
