Abstract (EN): This work aims at describing the added value of the skills acquired during a Master's degree in Building Services Engineering taught at the Instituto Superior de Engenharia de Coimbra in the departments of Electrical and Mechanical Engineering. It is based on the training final report of the dissertation, and it is concerned with the integration in the world of work, describing the framework of the various activities carried out during the internship. The curricular internship led to the acquisition of professional experience in the area of project within the framework of special technical installations, including lighting design in its various aspects. Several lighting design studies were developed both of interiors and exteriors and were extended to designs of bunkering stations, hospitals, post offices, hotels and homes in general. It also led to the acquisition of professional experience in the fields of electrical installations, telecommunications, fire safety in buildings and HVAC (Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning). The trainee had to assume responsibilities, applying theoretical knowledge to practical contexts developing decision-making skills and overcoming the proposed challenges. The opportunity the trainee had to follow the work of the technical teams was also an asset, as he observed on site the deployment of projects as they were being carried out He was also able to check if the work was evolving according to plans, contacted the architects, the building owners as well as the staff of companies in charge of other specialties. He experienced the difference between analysing and studying a two dimensional blueprint or even photos, and observing the actual design details on site, sometimes not so noticeable on paper or on the computer. This allowed him to assimilate important information, and be actively involved as part of the team, one of the reasons why the trainee opted for an internship of this kind that contributed to a better understanding of certain concepts in these areas of engineering.
