Familiarity with design software like AutoCAD, SketchUp, and Adobe Creative Suite, as well as basic hand-drafting and model-building skills, is typically required. Strong attention to detail, creativity, and effective communication help interns collaborate within teams and contribute innovative ideas. These skills and qualities are crucial for supporting project development, learning industry standards, and building a foundation for future professional growth.
