Abstract

This report presents a comprehensive compilation of the development of the professional internship carried out as a graduation requirement at the Municipal Infrastructure Office of the Mayor’s Office of Socorro, Santander. The internship lasted six months, from March 7 to September 7, 2025, and had as its main objective the application of academic knowledge in a real work environment, contributing to the management, supervision, and development of public infrastructure projects. Accordingly, the document details the activities undertaken, which included technical, administrative, and planning tasks focused on optimizing institutional processes. These included technical supervision of construction works, project formulation, preparation of budgets and unit price analyses, as well as responding to technical requests from the community and participating in field visits to verify compliance with current technical specifications and regulations. In conclusion, the internship helped strengthen technical competencies such as blueprint interpretation, application of construction standards, and drafting of technical reports. It also fostered soft skills such as teamwork, effective communication, and time management. This document, therefore, consolidates the most relevant aspects of the internship, including an analysis of the results achieved from both the institutional perspective and the personal experience of the intern, from which recommendations are made to support the ongoing improvement of municipal public infrastructure management.
