Muhammad Danish of Pakistan and Ms. Chanakarn Chanphu of Thailand,
participated in the internship program at South Korea between 20
June-15 July 2016. While Kyaw and Uttal are from Industrial and
Manufacturing Engineering (IME), Sachham is pursuing his Master’s in
Information and Communication Technologies, Danish is from Geotechnical
and Earth Resources Engineering, and Chanphu from Water Engineering and
Management.All participating students were required to prepare a
self-introduction report, an internship report and an individual
project report. “While the internship report focussed on activities and
tasks performed during stay at K-water as Intern, the individual
project report asked the participants to elaborate on the
organizational culture of K-water, its attributes and solicited
recommendations for improvement,” Danish says. Participants also
visited the Daecheong Dam and the water treatment plant which is
operated by K-water.Danish adds: “The program helped me academically, professionally and
culturally by expanding my horizons.” He experienced the dynamic
functioning of geotechnical centrifuge modeling, which is a rare
opportunity for a student. Similarly, working with 11 interns in South
Korea provided me with an international multicultural experience, he
