Práctica Empresarial como Auxiliar de Ingeniería para el Seguimiento y Control de los Diferentes Proyectos de obra a Ejecutar en la Oficina de Planeación del Municipio de Mutiscua Norte de Santander.

Abstract

This document presents the development of the undergraduate thesis through the business internship modality, a requirement to obtain the title of Civil Engineer at the University of Pamplona. The internship was carried out at the Planning Office of the Municipality of Mutiscua, Norte de Santander, and consisted of technical and administrative support for two public works projects: the extension of the final outfall and the renovation of the entrance to the municipal cemetery. During the internship, knowledge in technical supervision, schedule tracking, performance analysis, concrete quality control, and occupational safety measures was applied. One of the main results was achieving 94% progress in the final outfall project, despite unforeseen climatic and technical issues that required adjustments to the budget and activity schedule. Eight progress reports were prepared to evaluate the development and detect deviations. Additionally, concrete samples were collected to verify material resistance in accordance with NSR-10, and safety measures were implemented, including safety talks and the distribution of personal protective equipment (PPE), which improved the working conditions of site personnel. Finally, technical and administrative documentation was generated and delivered to the Planning Office, contributing to project monitoring and strengthening the student’s professional experience. The internship enabled the development of practical skills in project management, technical standards compliance, and social responsibility, offering a comprehensive perspective of the civil engineer’s role in the public sector.
