APOYO TÉCNICO A LA SECRETARIA DE INFRAESTRUCTURA PÚBLICA Y MOVILIDAD DEL MUNICIPIO DE PAIPA, BOYACÁ

Abstract

The objective of the academic internship is to integrate the knowledge acquired during professional training in civil engineering with work experience, preparing the student to face the challenges of the profession and develop their professional skills.

The internship took place at the Infrastructure Secretariat of the Municipality of Paipa, where administrative and technical activities were carried out both in the office and in the field. Technical field visits were conducted to evaluate the conditions of the municipality's road infrastructure. Public works contracts were monitored and verified using public procurement platforms such as SECOP. Preliminary studies were also prepared for the various contracts and agreements executed in the municipality.

A notable field activity was the technical support provided for a construction contract aimed at improving the urban road network. This project included material control, supervision of construction quantities, and detailed monitoring of the construction process, among other essential aspects to ensure proper execution.

Finally, the experience gained during the internship contributes to professional development, allowing for the technical and efficient application of academic knowledge in a real-life context, thus strengthening the skills necessary for professional practice.
