Executive Summary

As the core purpose of an internship is to create an opportunity for a student to gain

practice in a real world of job under the guidance of an experienced supervisor. I can say, that
was what I gained during this two months of internship period. Some of these real world
practices include doing all the activities that I was given by my supervisors, sharing
responsibilities with my co-intern, racing against time to get my tasks done, learning to work
with and respect my co-intern, get an experience on my communication skills with my
supervisors and also share ideas on how to effectively and efficiently get my tasks done. As a
result of this internship I have gained some insights into the professional side of our field of
study and got more motivated than ever.

This report is written to briefly explain what I have been doing for the past two
months. In the company where I was assigned to and what challenges I have faced during that
time in the making of my project and resources I had to use and dig into to provide me with
more knowledge and help me improve my work. I have also explored how my supervisors
have helped me succeed in my assignments and how this whole program has helped me shape
my career goal and evaluate my strengths and areas that need improving.

So in this report the following main points are involved

 General overview about the internship

 Brief history of the company
 Duties and tasks that I was given to perform
 How my supervisors helped me succeed in my assignments?
 What technical knowledge and skills I have gained from the process and what
resources I have used
 What challenges I have faced overall
 How this internship helped me and what career goals I made and how the ones that
were already there changed

CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

1.1 GENERAL OVERVIEW

An internship is an opportunity offered by an employer to potential employees, called interns,

to work at a firm for a fixed period of time. Interns are usually for undergraduate students and
most interns last between a month and three months. It is an integral part of the curriculum
and learning activity. Every student of School of Electrical Engineering and Computing at
Adama Science and Technology University (ASTU) is required to complete a program of
study that includes a compulsory internship to earn their academic degree in their field of
specialization.

As an intern every student is expected to gain experience and develop his abilities through
continuous activities. Some of the works and office manners expected from the interns were

 To be on time for work and complete assignments and projects in the given time
frame
 Taking online courses which are related to the working environment and go through
the materials given by the supervisor
 Respecting office rules and silence
 Using office equipment and Wi-Fi appropriately and only for the intended purposes
 To communicate with supervisors and other staff members whenever it’s necessary

Some of the outputs expected from this internship were

 To produce students that are qualified, motivated and practice oriented.

 To produce students that have the appropriate work ethics and office manners
 To produce students that have valuable insights into the professional and industry-
oriented side of their field of study
 To produce students that have proper self-evaluation skills

But my main project was to work on NET Framework (pronounced as "dot net") is a
software framework developed by Microsoft that runs primarily on Microsoft Windows. It
includes a large class library named as Framework Class Library (FCL) and provides
language interoperability (each language can use code written in other languages) across
several programming languages. Programs written for .NET Framework execute in a
software environment (in contrast to a hardware environment) named the Common Language
Runtime (CLR). The CLR is an application virtual machine that provides services such as
security, memory management, and exception handling. As such, computer code written
using .NET Framework is called "managed code". FCL and CLR together constitute
the .NET Framework. Dot net is under Asp.net

What is an ASP.NET
ASP.NET is an open-source server-side web application framework designed for web
development to produce dynamic web pages developed by Microsoft to allow programmers
to build dynamic web sites, applications and services.

It was first released in January 2002 with version 1.0 of the .NET Framework, and is the
successor to Microsoft's Active Server Pages (ASP) technology. ASP.NET is built on the
Common Language Runtime (CLR), allowing programmers to write ASP.NET code using
any supported .NET language. The ASP.NET SOAP extension framework allows ASP.NET
components to process SOAP messages.

ASP.NET's successor is ASP.NET Core. It is a re-implementation of ASP.NET as a modular

web framework, together with other frameworks like Entity Framework. The new framework
uses the new open-source .NET Compiler Platform (codename "Roslyn") and is cross
platform. ASP.NET MVC, ASP.NET Web API, and ASP.NET Web Pages (a platform using
only Razor pages) have merged into a unified MVC 6

Programming models

ASP.NET supports a number of programming models for building web applications.

ASP.NET Web Forms - a framework for building modular pages out of components, with UI
events being processed server-side.

ASP.NET MVC - allows for building web pages using the model–view–controller design
pattern.

14
ASTU CSE DEPARTMENT
Internship report by Tadiwos A/UR4847/09

ASP.NET Web Pages - a lightweight syntax for adding dynamic code and data access
directly inside HTML markup.

ASP.NET Web API - a framework for building Web APIs on top of the .NET Framework.

ASP.NET WebHooks - implements the Webhook pattern for subscribing to and publishing
events via HTTP.

SignalR - a real-time communications framework for bi-directional communication between

client and server.

Other ASP.NET extensions include:

ASP.NET Handler: Are components that implement the System.Web. IHttpHandler interface.
Unlike ASP.NET Pages, they have no HTML-markup file, no events and other supporting.
All they have is a code-file (written in any .NET-compatible language) that writes some data
to the server HTTP response. HTTP handlers are similar to ISAPI extensions.

ASP.NET AJAX: An extension with both client-side as well as server-side components for
writing ASP.NET pages that incorporate Ajax functionality.

ASP.NET Dynamic Data: A scaffolding extension to build data driven web applications

Future and benefits (Reason of choosing) of ASP.NET (active server

page or application service provider)
ASP.NET have a lot of Futures and benefits. ASP.net is a cross platform used to build web
application that can run in any operating system like on Linux, windows, macOS and
Docker the other futures and benefits of asp.net as follows
 To develop console application with the .net framework or net core frame
work
 ASP.NET web application with the .net framework or ASP.NET core web
application
 Keep you Asp.net applications secured with the built-in Windows
authentication and per-application configuration.
 Asp.Net has reduced the long lines of code required to develop large
applications.
 Asp.Net and Html, together generate dynamic web pages smoothly.

15
ASTU CSE DEPARTMENT
Internship report by Tadiwos A/UR4847/09

 Being an ideal server-side scripting technology, Asp.Net code first runs on

Windows server before displaying on the web browser.
 Asp.Net framework is language independent, means you can choose any
programming language which best suited to the application you are
developing.
 With the built-in configuration information, Asp.Net is easy to deploy.
 The windows web server thoroughly monitors the web pages, multiple
components, and applications running over it.
 The Dot Net Framework quickly gives an alert for memory leaks, unbounded
loops, and other wrong behaviors, immediately killing them and restart them
over again.
 Asp.Net features like early binding, JIT compilation, caching services and
native optimization supports gives your application the high level of
performance.
 All the Asp.Net applications are highly monitored and managed to help
application available to handle requests.
 The best part of Dot Net Framework is it has its own built-in caching features.
 The content and the program logic are separated in the .Net Framework, thus
reducing the program inconveniences.

There are plenty of good reasons to use ASP.NET when developing a website or an
application. High speed, low cost, and vast language support are among the most significant
benefits. ASP.NET is built into the familiar Windows server environment, requiring less
setup and configuration than other web development platforms that must be installed and
configured separately. The popularity of ASP.NET makes online resources and skilled
developers easy to find.

Websites and applications built with ASP.NET can be faster and more efficient than a
website build with PHP, for example. ASP.NET applications are compiled, which means the
code is translated into object code, which is then executed. This compilation process takes a
small amount of time, but happens only once. After compilation, the code can be executed
over and over by the .Net platform very quickly.

Interpreted code is not directly executed by the machine, but must be read and interpreted
each time before being executed. Compiled code is usually faster and more scalable than

16
ASTU CSE DEPARTMENT
Internship report by Tadiwos A/UR4847/09

interpreted code, and can do anything interpreted code can do. Examples of interpreted
languages include PHP, JavaScript and Ruby. The compilation process also provides
validation that all of the code is consistent. For example, if a method named Get User is
renamed to GetEmployee as part of some code updates, any reference to GetUser throughout
the rest of the application will cause an error during compilation, making it easy to identify
and fix. Interpreted languages would not identify this error until the code is actually run and
tested. In a large application, it is very time consuming to manually test every scenario, or to
write and maintain additional code that tests of every scenario, whenever code is changed.

Software cost is an important factor when developing a website. It used to be that developers
had to buy expensive software (called Integrated Development Environments, or IDEs) in
order to build applications. These days, most code can be written using free tools.ASP.NET
code can be written using a simple text editor, various free programming text editors and,
most commonly, Microsoft’s ubiquitous Visual Studio application, which is available in a
free Community Edition for non-corporate use. Companies with more than 5 developers must
purchase a license to use Visual Studio, but the cost is competitive with professional IDEs for
other platforms. Microsoft also provides Visual Studio Code, a lighter-weight IDE and editor,
which is free for everyone, including corporations.

In addition to an IDE, websites require web application server software and a hosting server.
Most ASP.NET applications use Microsoft IIS (Internet Information Server). IIS is available
for all versions of Microsoft Windows at no additional cost. Windows hosting servers are
usually more expensive than comparable Linux servers, which are commonly used to run
PHP, JavaScript and Ruby applications. However, with the release of ASP.NET Core in
2016, ASP.NET applications are no longer reliant on IIS and can now be hosted on Linux and
MacOS as well as Windows.

What type of database to use is an important decision when developing a web application?
ASP.NET applications can use all of the popular databases, including Microsoft SQL Server,
MySQL, MariaDB, Postgres, MongoDB and CouchDB. While Microsoft SQL Server can
require expensive software licenses for complex deployments, the free Express version is
suitable for the vast majority of websites. All of the other databases mentioned here are free
and open source.

17

ASP.NET is written using Object Oriented Programming languages such as C# or VB.net.

Object Oriented Programming provides a framework and patterns for code organization and
reuse. While VB.net is a holdover from Microsoft’s legacy Visual Basic product and has
largely fallen out of favor among developers, C# is a first class programming language and
consistently ranks among the world’s most in-demand and most-used programming
languages. Finally, even though ASP.NET is open source and free to use, it is actively
developed and supported by the world’s largest software company, Microsoft. Microsoft is
heavily invested in their development platforms, their developer community, and supporting
the software companies use to run these applications. As a whole, ASP.NET is a great
framework to use when developing web sites and web applications. It is reliable, fast, easy to
use, free and widely known. ASP.NET gives you full control of your development and can be
used on any project, big or small.

My main project was developed using C# (pronounced as see sharp) programming language.

Why C#
C# is a modern, general-purpose, object-oriented programming language developed by
Microsoft and approved by ECMA and ISO.

C# was developed by Anders Hejlsberg and his team during the development of .Net
Framework. C# is designed for Common Language Infrastructure (CLI), which consists of
the executable code and runtime environment that allows use of various high-level languages
to be used on different computer platforms and architectures.

The following reasons make C# a widely used professional language:

 Modern, general-purpose programming language

 Object oriented.
 Component oriented.
 Easy to learn.
 Structured language.
 It produces efficient programs.
 It can be compiled on a variety of computer platforms.
 Part of .Net Framework.

Strong Programming Features of C#

Although C# constructs closely follow traditional high-level languages C and C++ and being
an object-oriented programming language, it has strong resemblance with Java, it has
numerous strong programming features that make it endearing to multitude of programmers
worldwide.

Following is the list of few important features:

Boolean Conditions

Automatic Garbage Collection

Standard Library

Assembly Versioning

Properties and Events

Delegates and Events Management

Easy-to-use Generics

Indexers

Conditional Compilation

Simple Multithreading

LINQ and Lambda Expressions

Integration with Windows

I was instructed to develop an employment management system using dot net framework
through MVC (model view controller Architecture)

MVC (Model View Controller which separates application into three components Model
View and Controller.

Model represents shape of the data and business logic. It maintains the data of the application
Model objects retrieve and store model state in a database. Model is a data and business logic

View: view is the user interface. View display data using model to the user and also enables
them to modify the data.

19
ASTU CSE DEPARTMENT
Internship report by Tadiwos A/UR4847/09

Controller: controller handles the user request. Typically, user interact with view which in
turn raises appropriate URL request, this request will be handled by a controller. The
controller renders the appropriate view the model data as a response. Controller is a request
handler

VIEW

Renders
Displays

Send requests

CONTROLLER Manipulate MODEL

2.2 HOW DID YOU BECOME ORIENTED WITH THE

RESPONSIBILITIES YOU WERE ASSIGNED?

First as I started I assumed that it would be very difficult but latter on as I learned and
get experience from my supervisors and the stuffs it became easy and charming. The things

20
ASTU CSE DEPARTMENT
Internship report by Tadiwos A/UR4847/09

that make it difficult were that the working environment was new for me. The programming
language C# was new for me even if it is in some ways similar with C++ which was I took in
fresh year was easy for me. The first couple of weeks were consumed for the installation Os
Microsoft Visual Studio code and connecting it with the database.

2.3 HOW DID YOUR SUPERVISOR HELP YOU TO SUCCED IN THE

ASSIGNMENT YOU WERE GIVEN?
I wouldn’t have completed this internship without the help of my supervisors. Having
someone who cares about me and guides me in every activities makes my task easy and
enjoyable. May be that makes the period of the internship looks like very short. My
supervisors Jibril Adem and Habtamu Awoke approaches me as a friend which creates
freedom in my mind. So whenever I feel am on challenge I ask his guidance and they helped
me not only to solve the challenges I faced but also they teaches (showed) me another
techniques (approaches) to solve the problems. Simply my supervisors showed me
everything that I need for development

These are some of them:

 Collecting information about the project

 Drafting my ideas roughly on paper
 Visualizing the finished product before starting coding
 Coding accordingly
 Testing(debugging)
 Checking whether similar with the visualized one or not
 Gave me a piece of sample code which helped me a lot and saves my time and energy

2.4 WHAT QUALITIES DID YOU DEVELOP WHICH ALLOWED YOU TO

SUCCEED IN YOUR DAILY DUTIES?
As mentioned in earlier topics having to settle in a new working environment and coping
with it is challenging. In order to do that I had to develop some new skills and qualities that
could help me create a good working environment of my own, do my project effectively and

21
ASTU CSE DEPARTMENT
Internship report by Tadiwos A/UR4847/09

efficiently and also succeed in the internship in every way intended. Some of these qualities
were just some basic working ethics and office manners such as

 Punctuality

 Respecting office manners and silence

 Using office materials appropriately

 Familiarizing myself with the working environment

 Using the Wi-Fi to surf through the internet for materials appropriately (since there
were some restrictions on it)
Developing these office ethics helped us make ourselves feel like part of the working force
there and made our communications with the staff members easier.
But these weren’t the only qualities I developed in my stay there. There was more like

 Time management: - which was a major quality. Being punctual helped me develop
this another quality since being at work on time meant having more time to spend on
office around and discussing on what my project should look like with my supervisor
and the stuffs, how should I implement it, building drafts in my mind and actually
working on those drafts, testing the outcome and evaluating if that was what I
planned for it to look like in the beginning. So that’s what time management was all
about, dividing my time into these tasks so I would execute them in the given time
frame.

 Communication skills: - these was also another crucial quality. As discussion was a
part of my daily routine being able to communicate, explaining what I have in my
mind amongst the stuff and with my supervisor. I wasn’t only expected to
communicate with my co intern but also I repeatedly communicate with staff and
with my supervisor about different things I needed help with and the CEO of the
company, going through the rules I had to respect and compromising on those.

 Self-evaluation: - this is the huge issue. What would happen if there were no self-
evaluation at all? If so I think that all of my internship period has been spent without
purpose. The main reason that drives me to say this is whatever you did today you
can’t value yourself without self-evaluation. But if you continuously evaluating
yourself you will work accordingly to your evaluation. Let’s say you haven’t done
anything valuable today and if you don’t evaluate yourself the probability of
repeating your action tomorrow is high. But if you continuously evaluating yourself

you could improve most of your weaknesses. So evaluating myself every weekend
helped me to improve most of my positive sides and decrease most of my negative
sides.

 Conflict resolution skills: - sometime conflicts may occur with my supervisor and
my co intern since we think in different angle. Conflict resolving skill was another
quality I developed in the session. This quality included being able to listen to their
points of views and trying to understand them as much as possible and also being
able to explain one’s point of view in a way that the other can understand why it is
that one did that. It also meant compromising and laying a common ground for both
parties of the conflict to work without leaving a whole for other conflicts to occur.

 Helping and sharing with others: - this was another skill which was developed in
my session. At the beginning of the session the materials I received were not that
much worthy so I have to search another better material for my task unfortunately a
friend of mine who was spending his time like me on intern in neighboring company
gave me all the tools I needed. And I also gave it to my co intern. Whenever I stack
on something I ask for help to my supervisor and my co intern, and if something
works for me I share (showed) them.
These skills are skills that every working person should. As interns we have gained
these fundamental qualities and more that helped us work on our project in an almost flawless
way and respect each other while doing it. These qualities also helped us improve ourselves
and become better and better in our daily routine.

CHAPTER THREE

SPECIFIC JOB INFORMATION

3.1 Daily technical duties and responsibilities I had during the

internship
In the first two or three weeks I was just organizing a suitable environment i.e.
(installing appropriate tools dot net framework through visual studio) and watching tutorials
on C#. This helped me a lot. Instead of directly diving into the topic i.e. dot net framework
watching videos on C# prepared my mind. So that makes easier when I started developing on
dot net. But after that I started developing console apps and started familiarizing myself with
dot net framework. After two or three weeks I dived in my main project.

As I mentioned earlier I was working on employee management web app. There are
two approaches to developed the web app namely CF (code first) and DBF (database first)
approaches using EFcore (Entity Framework core) the major difference between these two
approaches is that in CF you focus on the coding part i.e. whenever you change the code the
database also changes accordingly your code so you do not need to worry about the structure
of the data base. But it has its disadvantages the framework always selects standard SQL
queries which will take much time. The other approach is DBF approach. Unlike the CF
approach you have to spend all your time and knowledge on the design of data base. As
compared to CF DBF is faster in response time if it’s SQL queries are minimized. I use CF
(code first) mostly.

The day to day activities were mostly Code, test (debug), research and improve the
weaknesses of the project.

Here my most daily activities look like this

TIME ACTIVITIES
MORNING 2:00-2:30 Arrive at office
2:30-7:00 If there is unfinished task continue on
that work
7:00-8:00 Lunch time
8:00-11:00 Work on my project test and debug my
code
AT 11:00 Leave the office

3.2 Other responsibilities I had during my internship period

I wasn’t only doing the internship; I was also helping my family in their day to day
activities, so most of my weekends were spent at a home.

3.3Technical knowledge and skills from my course which are

beneficial to my project
The major courses that makes easier my project are C++ and java programming
languages that I took in freshmen and second year respectively. They resemble with C# in
some ways specially with java since both of them are object oriented programming
languages.

The other course which plays a crucial role are fundamentals of software engineering. In
addition to major courses projects that we did in our semester courses helped me a lot..
Academic skills that helped me to do well in my entire apparent period are punctuality and
trying my best. Most of my lecturers were strict so that help me to do well here.

3.4relevant research projects I identified in my activity in the

organization I stayed
As I mentioned earlier most of their projects develop under the asp.net. They work on many
relevant research projects. But unfortunately I haven’t found any research project at that time

CHAPTER FOUR

REFLECTION AND CONCLUSION

4.1 How did this internship fit your career goal?

This internship showed me a clue about my future career goal

 How to change the theoretical into practical that I have been learning in the
university and gain the new theoretical from the practical.

 Knowing and respecting work ethics

 How to deal with the problems

 Developing communication skills

 Developing experience for the future work

 To identify the projects will have done for the future

 Finally, I have learnt which way to choose for the future and there are many
problems to be solved using computer technology

did my career goals change as a result of this internship

experience?
Yes! Off course since I got many experiences. Before that I thought that developing was
very difficult, But after then I got this experience I realized that it is the matter of giving
time and mastering on frameworks. So I decided to focus on frameworks rather than
mastering on programing languages.

4.3 my feelings about the value of this internship

I feel like am a professional developer after I finished the internship period and I understood
that software development can’t be done alone even if it could it may have several faults. I
didn’t know this thing until I finished the internship period.

4.4 challenges I faced during my internship period

The challenges I faced during my internship periods were not that much difficult. Since my
supervisor was always besides me whatever happens he was ready to help me. But some
challenges were happened which were not that much difficult these are:

 Waking up early and going to office was challenge for me since the season was rainy
and cold nobody wants to get out of his blanket in the morning.
 The transportation was very difficult
 The organization was a little far away from my home, and hence it is very vast
organisation, reaching to office before 2:30 (Local time) was a little challenging
activity

4.5 my strength and areas of improvement

I developed and improve so much positive attitudes through my internship period.

My major strengths during the internship period were

 I was eager to learn new things and willingness to acquire new things
 Accepting any critics on my project and negative sides
 Respecting the office manner and my supervisor
 Confidence and so on

CHAPTER FIVE

RECOMMENDATIONS
Opportunities like this to practice in real world helps us to understand the working
environment and helps us to prepare ourselves for our future career. So they must be prepared
as much as possible. But it doesn’t mean that it is free from mistakes. There are much more
issues that need to be improved. Like:

On university

 if we were given introduction (orientations) about the internship program

 if it is possible if companies were prepared earlier
 if the advisors check our progress repeatedly
 if we were given courses on top development frameworks

On Company

. The location of the company I have worked was very difficult for transportation
. Even the company have service buses it is only allowable for the employees. It is
not allowed for intern students to take service buses. Because of this reason I forced to
use taxi or a public bus and there is nither of them and I have to wait until 1:00 (Local
time) because of the crowd and the insufficient transportation means. I reach home
2:40 – 3:00 there was nothing to do.

Should we consider the company for future student placement?

28

Definitely I like all the stuff they are very helpful and supportive, so for the future I
hope they will give much more experience for students.
