During my the undergraduate program, I garnered the necessary technical knowledge regarding various structures and the aspects of construction affected by loading conditions. Two of the courses that have proven to be essential were Project Planning and management and Building Construction and materials where I gained insight into how project management techniques oversee the planning, design, and construction of a project, from its beginning to its end.

To gain exposure in the field, I took on six months long industrial training at the National Building Construction Corporation Delhi (NBCC), India, where I was assigned to the project, 6 BHK and 7 BHK Housing and one-month Industrial Training at Larsen and Toubro, India.

In completing two Trimesters here at Deakin University, I have successfully gained the ability to Demonstrate a developing knowledge and understanding of the syllabus requirements (knowledge and understanding, skills and values), content structure and learning processes for Built Environment Professional Practice, Advanced Project Management, Legal Risk Management, Strategic Construction Procurement, Principles of Building Information Modelling, Construction Company Management, Construction Measurement and Sustainable Futures.
