Data collection using questionnaires distributed to students who take part in the 2022/2023 Odd Semester internship. In addition, interviews and observations were conducted in the UNG Civil Engineering study program. The results of the questionnaire answers are presented in tabulations, and the presentation of each component is depicted in a graph.
