Yung Shun Yan

BEng (Hons) in Civil Engineering

Shanghai Construction Group, Shanghai

Shanghai Construction Group (SCG) is one of the biggest construction companies in Shanghai. During the 6-week internship, I believe I had contributed to SCG with my proactive and energetic attitude.

I was assigned to do various tasks. Some of which were rather complicated, so I did researches via the Internet and the company’s Intranet and thereby met the deadlines. This process enhanced my self-teaching, problem-solving and time management skills.

Stepping outside my comfort zone and living far away from Hong Kong, I have become much more independent. On the other hand, I tried my best to fit myself in the culture of the Mainland China. One significant cultural difference is payment method. Online payment is so popular in China that all people just settle payment by scanning QR codes with their cell phones.

All in all, my WIE in Shanghai was a fruitful internship experience.
