Supervisión técnica y administrativa en la revisión, formulación, gestión documental y seguimiento de proyectos de infraestructura educativa a través de la gobernación de Santander

Abstract

The internship was carried out at the Government of Santander, within the Directorate of Educational Infrastructure of the Departmental Secretariat of Education, an entity responsible for planning, executing, and monitoring investments aimed at improving public educational facilities in the department. This professional training experience provided a suitable environment for integrating the knowledge acquired in the Civil Engineering program with the technical and administrative processes inherent to public management, particularly in the formulation, review, and evaluation of educational infrastructure projects. The main purpose of the internship was to strengthen professional competencies through active participation in technical and documentary processes, contributing to ensuring the quality and feasibility of the projects managed by the institution. Throughout this experience, support activities were developed for the review of studies and designs, preparation of technical reports, participation in inter-institutional meetings, and analysis of regulatory requirements applicable to the sector. These actions generated technical and documentary inputs that supported decisionmaking during the pre-investment stage, demonstrating the practical articulation between the technical guidelines of the education sector, national regulations, and territorial administrative procedures. The resulting report presents a comprehensive description of the institutional context, the theoretical and regulatory framework guiding educational infrastructure, the methodology applied during the internship, and the main outcomes obtained. Overall, this academic experience strengthened professional training by enhancing the understanding of public sector operations in infrastructure, emphasizing the importance of planning and technical evaluation, and applying civil engineering principles in service of education.
