INTRODUCTION

On the job training or OJT is one method by which students is given a

chance to apply the theories and computations that they have learned from the

school It also helps the students to acquire relevant knowledge and skills by

performing in actual work setting Colleges and universities require their students

to undergo such training within a specific number of hours as part of the

curriculum

For the students an OJT or internship program provides opportunities to

go through the actual methodologies of a specific job using the real tools

equipments and documents In effect the workplace becomes a development

venue for a student trainee to learn more about his chosen field and practice

what he has learn from academy

On the other hand an effective OJT program also benefits the companies

who accept trainees First OJT or intern provides additional manpower for a

lesser labor cost than a regular employee Most of them are all eager to learn the

ropes so chances are high that they will cooperate

Employers can use this internship strategy as a method in recruiting new

employees Since the trainer or the supervisor can follow the traineesrsquo progress

he can gauge based on performance behavior and attitude if the trainee will

make a good recruit after the completion of his internship

1

OJTrsquos can bring fresh ideas into the organization Given the opportunity to

speak their minds freely and without fear they maybe able to contribute

significantly in brainstorming sessions or research and eventually help improve

the organizations productivity While training the interns employers are in fact

also teaching their employees to process of guiding the trainees stretches their

patience develops teaching skills and makes them more sensitive to the needs

and mind set of the younger generation The course of supervision also teaches

them how to share what they know and be receptive to questions Hence the

internship also becomes an avenue in training for future managers of the

company

Accommodating on-the-job trainees can truly be beneficial not only to the

trainees but also to the companies that provide opportunities for this type of

learning There is wisdom in the front lines Such training can be an investment

that will be valuable to the company later on This is also why trainees should

take their internship seriously as it can become a powerful tool and possibly even

a source of recommendation when they take that big lift from being students to

career professionals

the college of her origin as well as her field of specialization

BATANGAS STATE UNIVERSITY

The Batangas State University has an enduring and eventful history of

service to the people particularly to the youth in the province of Batangas The

BSU traces its history from 1903 when it was established as a manual training

engaged in tracing the youth for gainful occupation particularly in woodworking

The American educators at that time so the need to trainmen as builders and

carpenters to help develop towns and business centers

In 1905 the manual training school was recognizes It was named

Batangas Trade School and was transferred to its present site Its emphasis was

on wood arts and building construction courses Later the course in machine

shop was introduced

The Batangas Trade School was renamed Pablo Borbon Memorial Trade

School in honor of Honorable Pablo Borbon a Batangueno who held position in

three branches of government namely as governor member of Philippine

3

Senate and Judge of the court of the first instance He contributed much for the

cause of vocational education in the province

During World War II the school was temporarily closed It was reopened

on September 10 1945 The presence of many American Army surplus jeeps

(the American Army was based in Batangas City for 2 years) prompted the

opening of another vocational course auto mechanics The school became co-

educational in the school year 1948 to 1949 with offering of girlrsquos trade course-

food trades cosmetology and handicraft Enrollment gradually increased

reaching its peak in school year 1951 to 1952 when construction in the Caltex

Refinery in Bauan a nearby town was started

By virtue of RA 741 the PBMIT became a national school supported by

funds from the national government for its operation and maintenance At this

period industrial electricity and forging were offered in addition to existing

courses in response to the need for more electricians and welders brought about

by the establishment of several big industrial plants in the area

On July 1 1957 RA 4769 converted the institution into a school of Arts and

Trades and was named Pablo Borbon Memorial Regional School of Arts and

Trades For the first time the school offered the technical education curriculum

Co-courses in radio mechanics and electronics were introduced The ensuing

years saw the unprecedented increase in the number of building constructed-

modernistic structures with spacious rooms for the radio mechanics electricity

trade drawing forging building construction and machine shop classes

This rapid growth includes the organization classes which were offered

for the first time in 1963 Unemployed out of school youth and adults and even

those already employed enrolled in this evening opportunity classes is acquire

new occupational skill or upgrade previous the acquired jobs skills and

competencies

Awake of the increasing demands for vocational trained manpower the

school administrators secured for the approval for the introduction of teacher

education courses leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Industrial

Education in 1965 A significant mile stone in the history of the institution came

about in 1968 by virtue of RA 5270 the school was converted into the Pablo

Borbon Memorial Institute of Technology giving it corporate existence with self-

governing board The college is mandated by its charter to provide higher

vocational professional technical and technological instruction and in trades and

industrial education From 1971-1973 mechanical electrical and civil engineering

courses were introduced The institution of graduate corses in 1974 followed this

development There are two programs on the masteral level Master of Arts in

Industrial Education with specialization in administration and supervision and

Master of Arts in Teaching Science Mathematics and Vocational Education In

1978 there was a felt need for management courses in the graduate level A

consortium with the UP college of Public Administration was established and the

classes in MMP under UP CPA-PBMIT consortium started

On March 22 2001 President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo signed into law RA

9045 which officially created the Batangas State University with the Pablo 5

Borbon Memorial Institute of Technology (PBMIT) as the nucleus Under this law

the state situated in Batangas City including its campuses in Barangay Alangilan

and those in the Municipalities of Balayan Bauan Lobo San Pascual Rosario

the Jose P Laurel Polytechnic college in Malvar the Apolinario R Apacible

school of Fisheries in Nasugbu and the campus of the Polytechnic University of

Sto Tomas are integrated into University to be known as the Batangas State

University

The Batangas State University will work even harder to enrich and expand

each curricular program formulate and pursue a more meaningful research

agenda and implement more vigorously pro-active extension services

MECHANICAL ENGINEERING

Mechanical engineering continues to play a key role in developing

operating and manufacturing new machines devices and processes to benefit

mankind Mechanical engineers apply their creative imaginations and

professional skills to combine both theory and practice in a variety of situations

For this they need an in-depth understanding of scientific principles and

engineering processes They also need to be able to develop solutions to real-life

problems in the face of conflicting requirements Mechanical engineers in the

commercial world combine technical and management skills to retain the

competitive advantage for their companies

Mechanical engineering is an engineering discipline that involves the

application of principles of physics for analysis design manufacturing and

maintenance of mechanical systems It requires a solid understanding of key

concepts including mechanics kinematics thermodynamics and energy

Practitioners of mechanical engineering known as mechanical engineers use

these principles and others in the design and analysis of automobiles aircraft

Mechanical Engineering Coursework

Mechanical Engineering programs generally cover the same fundamental

subjects Universities in the United States offering accredited programs in

mechanical engineering are required to offer several major subjects of study as

determined by ABET This is to ensure a minimum level of competence among

graduating engineers and to inspire confidence in the engineering profession as

a whole The specific courses required to graduate may differ from program to

program however Universities will often combine multiple subjects into a single

CHAPTER III18

ON THE JOB TRAINING ACTIVITIES

This chapter narrates the activities that the student trainees had gone

through during the training This also includes the observation participation

interaction and challenges during their training

This discusses its place as a development tool and how it was delivered

effectively by the company On the job training is an important way in which

students acquire relevant knowledge and skills at work

Narrative Experience

November 18 2008 it was the date when the trainee started the on the

job training at Keppel Batangas Shipyard It is a shipyard company which is

situated along side of Batangas Bay at San Miguel Bauan Batangas

The trainee was assigned at the department which is called motor pool

This department serves as the general maintenance for the equipments and

gadgets that were used inside the company Also at this department all

operators of the cranes lifters and trailers were assigned Almost all of them

were regular workers of Keppel and served the company for almost 20 years

19

Training supervisor provides PPEs for the trainees on the first day PPE

stands for personal protective equipment which consists of safety belt helmet

safety goggle and gloves

Every morning the supervisor calls for a mustering or a meeting On this

meeting safety personnel check all the workers on the assigned department if

they were wearing in their proper PPE Also they discuss all about what they

must do on that day

The trainee started his work as an assistant and a helper He helped in

bringing the tools and parts that they need assist them when they disassembling

engines and hold nuts and bolts as they detached it They do not allow the

trainee to handle machine members especially to those sensitive parts like

injectors tubing shafts and gears Being a helper is unexciting expecting it was

the only work that the trainee do for rest of his OJT

Time came when he first handle machine members it was a transmission

gears that detached from a fork lift crane That time is when his co-worker asked

him to clean and take away greases that stock up on the gears The trainee

thought that he was the one who will disassemble the transmission box But at

least they let him handle a sensitive machine parts for the first time

A month later new set of disassembled four cylinder engine was arrived

That was the first time when the trainee saw engine parts in reality His co-

worker which is an expert on the engines taught the trainee the different parts of

the engine as he assembled it And of course the trainee already passed the

20

subject called ME LAB II under Engr Aguila so that is why the later can relate

and can easily identify the parts that his co-worker instructs He also taught the

trainee some technique in assembling and installing the engine parts Some of it

was when installing piston ring the tapered side of the ring must face downward

Piston of a diesel engine was different from piston of gasoline engine The later

has a hole on is face but this hole was not in the center of the face That is why

placing the piston pointing the hole upward has a great difference when placing it

on the opposite The correct position was placing the piston that pointing the hole

upward This is because the fuel injector was placed on the upper side of the

block making it sprays fuel exactly at the hole He also taught the trainee about

the proper timing of the valve and fuel injector and also the sequence of firing

inside the engine cylinders For a 4-cylinder engine order of firing was 1-3-2-4

For a 6-cylinder engine firing was 1-4-2-6-3-5 And for an 8-cylinder v-type

engine firing was 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2 These firing orders were not constant at all

engines it is just only based on the traineersquos experience Firing orders were

variable and based on the manufacturers design in order to minimize vibration

On the following days the trainee had already worked just like a regular

employee of the Keppel Starting on that time he was not an assistant or a

helper any longer just like on his first day of OJT but one of maintenance

personnel on that department He experienced installing engine parts like

flywheel injectors radiator manifolds valves and timing gears He also

performed top hauling a six cylinder engine disassembling a v-type engine which

21

composed of eight cylinders removing water pump and making gaskets out of

paper folder

Not only engines were repaired under maintenance department they also

repair pumps Most common type of pump that was used on the Keppel shipyard

was the piston type pump It consists of three cylinders and operated using high

speed motor The trainee experienced reconditioning this type of pump replacing

new gaskets polishing the cylinder installing bearing and gears placing new

piston and connecting rod and changing the gear oil Another type of pump that

they handled on their department was the gear type pump This type of pump

was used commonly as a pump for crane and lifter hydraulic This pump consists

of two gears that mesh to pump fluid by displacement This type of pump is best

suitable for pumping hydraulics and other substances which is of high viscosity

Being an apprentice on that kind of department was really remarkable All

the skills and techniques that they shared with the trainee will help him for his

future career

Observation

The trainee who was training at Keppel Batangas Shipyard for almost four

months observed the daily activities and practices that the workers inside the

company performed as well as rules and regulation that all workers and

employees must comply with

22

The trainee easily observed that all workers inside the working zone must

wear their proper PPE during working hours Even the sweeper or janitor who

cleans the yard must wear complete PPE Any workers who will notice without in

their proper PPE will be given a punishment which is by cleaning the whole yard

for one week and posting their pictures at the gate of the company reminding

everyone that those people were violators Safety inside the company was really

strict

Another thing that the trainee observed was the rules and regulation that

the company initiated Before entering the company regular frisking and

baggage inspections were conducted Car without stickers cannot enter inside

the company except for the visitors Trainees are not included as a visitor

Another was the NO smoking sleeping and by standing rule Any violators who

will be caught will fine an amount of one thousand pesos Gadgets like mobile

phones and portable mp3 players are not allowed during working hours Gadgets

must be placed on the locker room Requests like emergency calls are accepted

making sure that the call was important and entertain able

Participation

The trainee participated in the normal operation of the company by

maintaining the equipments used in the shipyard in their good condition Daily

check on the important spots of the cranes like the pressure of the tires fuel

levels gear and engine oil lubrication of the joints and the water level of the

23

radiator Errors must be predict and must be solved before it happened Any

trouble happened to the equipment during the progression will cause a big

interruption on the whole process of the company

The trainee also participated as a tool keeper on maintenance

department Tools and parts of the machine must be kept to avoid misplacing it

Tools must be clean before they were returned to the tool box Bolts nuts and

small machine parts must be placed in a closed container

Interaction

During the training at Keppel Batangas Shipyard the trainee learned to

interact with other people We know that people have different characteristics and

attitudes however making friends with the traineersquos co-workers doesnrsquot make

difficult

Even though he was only a trainee they donrsquot treat him like others And as

a trainee donrsquot feel uncomfortable as he worked with them From the interaction

the trainee made with them the later learned to work with patience Although

thoroughly working on something was time consuming the quality of the output

product is the most important He also learned from his co-workerrsquos experiences

and mistakes and apply them whenever he needed it They also encouraged the

trainee to go on with his studies until he become a professional

24

Although I worked and interact with them for a short period of time I

learned a lot to them the skills and techniques that they shared with me that

cannot be find on the books

Challenges

Challenge is test of ones abilities or resources in a demanding And

challenges are always present

During the traineersquos on-the-job training he met some challenges that push

him to work much better First is when one of his co-workers challenged him to

be greedy in learning new things and skills That is also the time when the

traineersquos supervisor said than if the later want high grade he must work like a

real employee That was a big challenge for the trainee He was only a trainee

so the supervisor must supervise him and not to let him handle a situation than

he didnrsquot know And because of that the trainee learned to put a dedication to his

work

Another challenge that the trainee met was the climate during his working

hours on the field The heat coming from the sun makes him uncomfortable And

there is a time halfway of his training when he got sick

Lastly one challenge that the trainee met is when his co-worker asked him

to remove a bolt from a crankcase of a 4-cylinder engine The trainee thought it

was easy But then he was wrong He asked other to hold the crankcase as he

25

twisted the bolt using a socket wrench Still the bolt doesnrsquot pull out He twisted it

again using extension and pulled it as he can At last bolt was removed but the

trainees hands were aching He forced himself to twist the bolt because he said

to his co-worker that he can do it without even knowing that the bolt was placed

to the crankcase using an air lock and has a torque of 200 Newton

Problems Met and Solutions Offered

Problems that the trainee encountered during his training were all related

to the engine and pump failures

Lack of materials to be needed must be resolved using alternative one

Like gaskets In making gaskets special paper called paper gasket was being

needed But as an alternate to paper gasket paper folder can be used It was

fastened to the joints by means of gasket maker a glue-like liquid

26

CHAPTER IV

PERSONAL EVALUATION CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION

This chapter presents the entire training period with the activities done by

the trainees This shows the accomplishments and skills being enhanced during

the internship period that gave them the best training ground as a beginner

Accomplishment and Contribution

The traineersquos contribution to the company was mostly in maintaining the

equipments on its good condition He was able helped the regular employee in

repairing and building the equipments used in the yard Such would help them to

minimize their work and finished it for a short period of time and with high quality

The trainee also do such house keeping on the times that there is no

work Cleaning the barracks can be a simple way to minimize accidents

The trainee also shared with them new knowledge such as conversion of

units and basic formulas It would help them to compare the values using

different units and to get values in a simple but accurate way

27

Competencies Gained

The training inside the company is learning experience each day The

trainee learned to appreciate the lessons studied in school He was able to

realize the importance of theories and formulas that was discussed inside the

classroom And also to understand that everything that was thought inside the

school can be a tool that can be used in future career

As the trainee was working as a trainee at Keppel he learned to become

a hard-working person Time to complete the output product is not important but

the quality He also learned to follow the instructions as what the superiors said

and to accept opinion that they suggested

At the school being late is better than absent But as what the trainee

learned at Keppel being absent is better than being late Being absent can be a

cause of emergency situations like sickness unpredicted travels and

phenomena while being late is a cause of misbehavior and unable to manage

the time

Lastly the trainee learned that on-the-job training is not just only a subject

to be passed or a requirement to be completed but on-the-job training is an

opportunity to show what skills talents and techniques that the student learned

from the school and also an opportunity to experience the life outside the

campus serving companies like a professional on the field of the studentsrsquo

specialization

ProjectsOutput28

At the end of the traineersquos OJT he was able to repair different types of

engine and able to help in solving different kinds of engine troubles He was also

able to handle pumps for reconditioning and assembling For him all the

equipments that were used inside the company were his output project

Impact to Field of Specialization

The training served as the stepping stone of the trainees to the real

life of an engineer It served as the beginning the real life of being an employee

The trainees have realized that learning is a lifetime commitment that is

continues even you already have a job The training gave the students more

initiative to their chosen career The students were more encouraged to pursue

the Mechanical Engineering course The training inspired the trainees to enhance

their skills and knowledge in the field of mechanical engineering The trainees

were given some ideas what could be the feeling or situation being an employee

The training enriched their individuality as a beginner and created the foundation

of being a good worker The best thing that the trainees have gained inside the

company was the good orientation of the person having the higher positions

As a mechanical engineering student the OJT made me realize the

importance of the course that I am taking It made me realize the essential role of

a mechanical engineer in a company Mechanical engineering can take the work

of electrical and civil engineering but no other course can takes place the work

of mechanical engineer in a company To be a competent one not only an

29

engineer must understand the process and the underlying principles but also be

knowledgeable of the operation of certain equipments that carry out the process

An engineer must also possess good communication and leadership skill

Conclusion

The students have undergone a good training The task given to them was

an application of design 1 design 2 and ME LAB 2 of their course The design of

the bolts and nuts has a great in connection to the subjects The design of the

flywheels and other machine members deals with the study of design 1 itself

Parts of the engines and kinds of pumps were exactly related to what was

discussed inside the classroom The trainees were technically given actual

problems that have a main concern with the mechanical engineering subjects

The nature of the career course was the main focus of the training The training

of students will be useful if the nature of their training have the major concern for

their chosen career The trainees would able to use the experiences they have

gone through during the training whenever they are already in the field of

specialization

Recommendation30

The company created a good service to their clients and gave the best

training for the students The students must have a good company that would

give them a good training ground and would enhance their knowledge and

capabilities The school must have the good coordination for some companies

that offer an annual On the Job Training inside their company The school should

provide more budgets given to the OJT coordinators to have the best monitoring

of the training the students are taking One of the best ways of training is the

provincial trainings that would give different experiences to the trainees An out of

town training would give more self esteem to the students The mechanical

engineering students have their training every 4th year and second semester of

the year It is more efficient if they will take it 5th year of their last semester In

some cases having their training during their 4th year of school would sometimes

affect the rhythm of their schooling because in mechanical engineering the

students OJT have their preferred pre-requisite subjects that once not taken

would give a big effect to the arrangement of the studentrsquos subjects Instead of

the regular schedule of years of studying once being affected by the pre-

requisite subjects the students would waste some of the time spending for the

subjects affected by the OJT For the company they should give more lectures

on the technical parts of the company like Auto Cad and Mechanical Devices

used by the Department

CHAPTER III18

ON THE JOB TRAINING ACTIVITIES

This chapter narrates the activities that the student trainees had gone

through during the training This also includes the observation participation

interaction and challenges during their training

This discusses its place as a development tool and how it was delivered

effectively by the company On the job training is an important way in which

students acquire relevant knowledge and skills at work

Narrative Experience

November 18 2008 it was the date when the trainee started the on the

job training at Keppel Batangas Shipyard It is a shipyard company which is

situated along side of Batangas Bay at San Miguel Bauan Batangas

The trainee was assigned at the department which is called motor pool

This department serves as the general maintenance for the equipments and

gadgets that were used inside the company Also at this department all

operators of the cranes lifters and trailers were assigned Almost all of them

were regular workers of Keppel and served the company for almost 20 years

19

Training supervisor provides PPEs for the trainees on the first day PPE

stands for personal protective equipment which consists of safety belt helmet

safety goggle and gloves

Every morning the supervisor calls for a mustering or a meeting On this

meeting safety personnel check all the workers on the assigned department if

they were wearing in their proper PPE Also they discuss all about what they

must do on that day

The trainee started his work as an assistant and a helper He helped in

bringing the tools and parts that they need assist them when they disassembling

engines and hold nuts and bolts as they detached it They do not allow the

trainee to handle machine members especially to those sensitive parts like

injectors tubing shafts and gears Being a helper is unexciting expecting it was

the only work that the trainee do for rest of his OJT

Time came when he first handle machine members it was a transmission

gears that detached from a fork lift crane That time is when his co-worker asked

him to clean and take away greases that stock up on the gears The trainee

thought that he was the one who will disassemble the transmission box But at

least they let him handle a sensitive machine parts for the first time

A month later new set of disassembled four cylinder engine was arrived

That was the first time when the trainee saw engine parts in reality His co-

worker which is an expert on the engines taught the trainee the different parts of

the engine as he assembled it And of course the trainee already passed the

20

subject called ME LAB II under Engr Aguila so that is why the later can relate

and can easily identify the parts that his co-worker instructs He also taught the

trainee some technique in assembling and installing the engine parts Some of it

was when installing piston ring the tapered side of the ring must face downward

Piston of a diesel engine was different from piston of gasoline engine The later

has a hole on is face but this hole was not in the center of the face That is why

placing the piston pointing the hole upward has a great difference when placing it

on the opposite The correct position was placing the piston that pointing the hole

upward This is because the fuel injector was placed on the upper side of the

block making it sprays fuel exactly at the hole He also taught the trainee about

the proper timing of the valve and fuel injector and also the sequence of firing

inside the engine cylinders For a 4-cylinder engine order of firing was 1-3-2-4

For a 6-cylinder engine firing was 1-4-2-6-3-5 And for an 8-cylinder v-type

engine firing was 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2 These firing orders were not constant at all

engines it is just only based on the traineersquos experience Firing orders were

variable and based on the manufacturers design in order to minimize vibration

On the following days the trainee had already worked just like a regular

employee of the Keppel Starting on that time he was not an assistant or a

helper any longer just like on his first day of OJT but one of maintenance

personnel on that department He experienced installing engine parts like

flywheel injectors radiator manifolds valves and timing gears He also

performed top hauling a six cylinder engine disassembling a v-type engine which

21

composed of eight cylinders removing water pump and making gaskets out of

paper folder

Not only engines were repaired under maintenance department they also

repair pumps Most common type of pump that was used on the Keppel shipyard

was the piston type pump It consists of three cylinders and operated using high

speed motor The trainee experienced reconditioning this type of pump replacing

new gaskets polishing the cylinder installing bearing and gears placing new

piston and connecting rod and changing the gear oil Another type of pump that

they handled on their department was the gear type pump This type of pump

was used commonly as a pump for crane and lifter hydraulic This pump consists

of two gears that mesh to pump fluid by displacement This type of pump is best

suitable for pumping hydraulics and other substances which is of high viscosity

Being an apprentice on that kind of department was really remarkable All

the skills and techniques that they shared with the trainee will help him for his

future career

Observation

The trainee who was training at Keppel Batangas Shipyard for almost four

months observed the daily activities and practices that the workers inside the

company performed as well as rules and regulation that all workers and

employees must comply with

22

The trainee easily observed that all workers inside the working zone must

wear their proper PPE during working hours Even the sweeper or janitor who

cleans the yard must wear complete PPE Any workers who will notice without in

their proper PPE will be given a punishment which is by cleaning the whole yard

for one week and posting their pictures at the gate of the company reminding

everyone that those people were violators Safety inside the company was really

strict

Another thing that the trainee observed was the rules and regulation that

the company initiated Before entering the company regular frisking and

baggage inspections were conducted Car without stickers cannot enter inside

the company except for the visitors Trainees are not included as a visitor

Another was the NO smoking sleeping and by standing rule Any violators who

will be caught will fine an amount of one thousand pesos Gadgets like mobile

phones and portable mp3 players are not allowed during working hours Gadgets

must be placed on the locker room Requests like emergency calls are accepted

making sure that the call was important and entertain able

Participation

The trainee participated in the normal operation of the company by

maintaining the equipments used in the shipyard in their good condition Daily

check on the important spots of the cranes like the pressure of the tires fuel

levels gear and engine oil lubrication of the joints and the water level of the

23

radiator Errors must be predict and must be solved before it happened Any

trouble happened to the equipment during the progression will cause a big

interruption on the whole process of the company

The trainee also participated as a tool keeper on maintenance

department Tools and parts of the machine must be kept to avoid misplacing it

Tools must be clean before they were returned to the tool box Bolts nuts and

small machine parts must be placed in a closed container

Interaction

During the training at Keppel Batangas Shipyard the trainee learned to

interact with other people We know that people have different characteristics and

attitudes however making friends with the traineersquos co-workers doesnrsquot make

difficult

Even though he was only a trainee they donrsquot treat him like others And as

a trainee donrsquot feel uncomfortable as he worked with them From the interaction

the trainee made with them the later learned to work with patience Although

thoroughly working on something was time consuming the quality of the output

product is the most important He also learned from his co-workerrsquos experiences

and mistakes and apply them whenever he needed it They also encouraged the

trainee to go on with his studies until he become a professional

24

Although I worked and interact with them for a short period of time I

learned a lot to them the skills and techniques that they shared with me that

cannot be find on the books

Challenges

Challenge is test of ones abilities or resources in a demanding And

challenges are always present

During the traineersquos on-the-job training he met some challenges that push

him to work much better First is when one of his co-workers challenged him to

be greedy in learning new things and skills That is also the time when the

traineersquos supervisor said than if the later want high grade he must work like a

real employee That was a big challenge for the trainee He was only a trainee

so the supervisor must supervise him and not to let him handle a situation than

he didnrsquot know And because of that the trainee learned to put a dedication to his

work

Another challenge that the trainee met was the climate during his working

hours on the field The heat coming from the sun makes him uncomfortable And

there is a time halfway of his training when he got sick

Lastly one challenge that the trainee met is when his co-worker asked him

to remove a bolt from a crankcase of a 4-cylinder engine The trainee thought it

was easy But then he was wrong He asked other to hold the crankcase as he

25

twisted the bolt using a socket wrench Still the bolt doesnrsquot pull out He twisted it

again using extension and pulled it as he can At last bolt was removed but the

trainees hands were aching He forced himself to twist the bolt because he said

to his co-worker that he can do it without even knowing that the bolt was placed

to the crankcase using an air lock and has a torque of 200 Newton

Problems Met and Solutions Offered

Problems that the trainee encountered during his training were all related

to the engine and pump failures

Lack of materials to be needed must be resolved using alternative one

Like gaskets In making gaskets special paper called paper gasket was being

needed But as an alternate to paper gasket paper folder can be used It was

fastened to the joints by means of gasket maker a glue-like liquid

26

CHAPTER IV

PERSONAL EVALUATION CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION

This chapter presents the entire training period with the activities done by

the trainees This shows the accomplishments and skills being enhanced during

the internship period that gave them the best training ground as a beginner

Accomplishment and Contribution

The traineersquos contribution to the company was mostly in maintaining the

equipments on its good condition He was able helped the regular employee in

repairing and building the equipments used in the yard Such would help them to

minimize their work and finished it for a short period of time and with high quality

The trainee also do such house keeping on the times that there is no

work Cleaning the barracks can be a simple way to minimize accidents

The trainee also shared with them new knowledge such as conversion of

units and basic formulas It would help them to compare the values using

different units and to get values in a simple but accurate way

27

Competencies Gained

The training inside the company is learning experience each day The

trainee learned to appreciate the lessons studied in school He was able to

realize the importance of theories and formulas that was discussed inside the

classroom And also to understand that everything that was thought inside the

school can be a tool that can be used in future career

As the trainee was working as a trainee at Keppel he learned to become

a hard-working person Time to complete the output product is not important but

the quality He also learned to follow the instructions as what the superiors said

and to accept opinion that they suggested

At the school being late is better than absent But as what the trainee

learned at Keppel being absent is better than being late Being absent can be a

cause of emergency situations like sickness unpredicted travels and

phenomena while being late is a cause of misbehavior and unable to manage

the time

Lastly the trainee learned that on-the-job training is not just only a subject

to be passed or a requirement to be completed but on-the-job training is an

opportunity to show what skills talents and techniques that the student learned

from the school and also an opportunity to experience the life outside the

campus serving companies like a professional on the field of the studentsrsquo

specialization

ProjectsOutput28

At the end of the traineersquos OJT he was able to repair different types of

engine and able to help in solving different kinds of engine troubles He was also

able to handle pumps for reconditioning and assembling For him all the

equipments that were used inside the company were his output project

Impact to Field of Specialization

The training served as the stepping stone of the trainees to the real

life of an engineer It served as the beginning the real life of being an employee

The trainees have realized that learning is a lifetime commitment that is

continues even you already have a job The training gave the students more

initiative to their chosen career The students were more encouraged to pursue

the Mechanical Engineering course The training inspired the trainees to enhance

their skills and knowledge in the field of mechanical engineering The trainees

were given some ideas what could be the feeling or situation being an employee

The training enriched their individuality as a beginner and created the foundation

of being a good worker The best thing that the trainees have gained inside the

company was the good orientation of the person having the higher positions

As a mechanical engineering student the OJT made me realize the

importance of the course that I am taking It made me realize the essential role of

a mechanical engineer in a company Mechanical engineering can take the work

of electrical and civil engineering but no other course can takes place the work

of mechanical engineer in a company To be a competent one not only an

29

engineer must understand the process and the underlying principles but also be

knowledgeable of the operation of certain equipments that carry out the process

An engineer must also possess good communication and leadership skill

Conclusion

The students have undergone a good training The task given to them was

an application of design 1 design 2 and ME LAB 2 of their course The design of

the bolts and nuts has a great in connection to the subjects The design of the

flywheels and other machine members deals with the study of design 1 itself

Parts of the engines and kinds of pumps were exactly related to what was

discussed inside the classroom The trainees were technically given actual

problems that have a main concern with the mechanical engineering subjects

The nature of the career course was the main focus of the training The training

of students will be useful if the nature of their training have the major concern for

their chosen career The trainees would able to use the experiences they have

gone through during the training whenever they are already in the field of

specialization

Recommendation30

The company created a good service to their clients and gave the best

training for the students The students must have a good company that would

give them a good training ground and would enhance their knowledge and

capabilities The school must have the good coordination for some companies

that offer an annual On the Job Training inside their company The school should

provide more budgets given to the OJT coordinators to have the best monitoring

of the training the students are taking One of the best ways of training is the

provincial trainings that would give different experiences to the trainees An out of

town training would give more self esteem to the students The mechanical

engineering students have their training every 4th year and second semester of

the year It is more efficient if they will take it 5th year of their last semester In

some cases having their training during their 4th year of school would sometimes

affect the rhythm of their schooling because in mechanical engineering the

students OJT have their preferred pre-requisite subjects that once not taken

would give a big effect to the arrangement of the studentrsquos subjects Instead of

the regular schedule of years of studying once being affected by the pre-

requisite subjects the students would waste some of the time spending for the

subjects affected by the OJT For the company they should give more lectures

on the technical parts of the company like Auto Cad and Mechanical Devices

used by the Department

operators of the cranes lifters and trailers were assigned Almost all of them

were regular workers of Keppel and served the company for almost 20 years

19

Training supervisor provides PPEs for the trainees on the first day PPE

stands for personal protective equipment which consists of safety belt helmet

safety goggle and gloves

a trainee donrsquot feel uncomfortable as he worked with them From the interaction

the trainee made with them the later learned to work with patience Although

thoroughly working on something was time consuming the quality of the output

product is the most important He also learned from his co-workerrsquos experiences

and mistakes and apply them whenever he needed it They also encouraged the

trainee to go on with his studies until he become a professional

24

Although I worked and interact with them for a short period of time I

learned a lot to them the skills and techniques that they shared with me that

cannot be find on the books

Challenges

Challenge is test of ones abilities or resources in a demanding And

challenges are always present

During the traineersquos on-the-job training he met some challenges that push

him to work much better First is when one of his co-workers challenged him to

be greedy in learning new things and skills That is also the time when the

traineersquos supervisor said than if the later want high grade he must work like a

real employee That was a big challenge for the trainee He was only a trainee

so the supervisor must supervise him and not to let him handle a situation than

he didnrsquot know And because of that the trainee learned to put a dedication to his

work

Another challenge that the trainee met was the climate during his working

hours on the field The heat coming from the sun makes him uncomfortable And

there is a time halfway of his training when he got sick

Lastly one challenge that the trainee met is when his co-worker asked him

to remove a bolt from a crankcase of a 4-cylinder engine The trainee thought it

was easy But then he was wrong He asked other to hold the crankcase as he

25

twisted the bolt using a socket wrench Still the bolt doesnrsquot pull out He twisted it

again using extension and pulled it as he can At last bolt was removed but the

trainees hands were aching He forced himself to twist the bolt because he said

to his co-worker that he can do it without even knowing that the bolt was placed

to the crankcase using an air lock and has a torque of 200 Newton

Problems Met and Solutions Offered

Problems that the trainee encountered during his training were all related

to the engine and pump failures

Lack of materials to be needed must be resolved using alternative one

Like gaskets In making gaskets special paper called paper gasket was being

needed But as an alternate to paper gasket paper folder can be used It was

fastened to the joints by means of gasket maker a glue-like liquid

26

CHAPTER IV

PERSONAL EVALUATION CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION

This chapter presents the entire training period with the activities done by

the trainees This shows the accomplishments and skills being enhanced during

the internship period that gave them the best training ground as a beginner

Accomplishment and Contribution

The traineersquos contribution to the company was mostly in maintaining the

equipments on its good condition He was able helped the regular employee in

repairing and building the equipments used in the yard Such would help them to

minimize their work and finished it for a short period of time and with high quality

The trainee also do such house keeping on the times that there is no

work Cleaning the barracks can be a simple way to minimize accidents

The trainee also shared with them new knowledge such as conversion of

units and basic formulas It would help them to compare the values using

different units and to get values in a simple but accurate way

27

Competencies Gained

The training inside the company is learning experience each day The

trainee learned to appreciate the lessons studied in school He was able to

realize the importance of theories and formulas that was discussed inside the

classroom And also to understand that everything that was thought inside the

school can be a tool that can be used in future career

As the trainee was working as a trainee at Keppel he learned to become

a hard-working person Time to complete the output product is not important but

the quality He also learned to follow the instructions as what the superiors said

and to accept opinion that they suggested

At the school being late is better than absent But as what the trainee

learned at Keppel being absent is better than being late Being absent can be a

cause of emergency situations like sickness unpredicted travels and

phenomena while being late is a cause of misbehavior and unable to manage

the time

Lastly the trainee learned that on-the-job training is not just only a subject

to be passed or a requirement to be completed but on-the-job training is an

opportunity to show what skills talents and techniques that the student learned

from the school and also an opportunity to experience the life outside the

campus serving companies like a professional on the field of the studentsrsquo

specialization

ProjectsOutput28

At the end of the traineersquos OJT he was able to repair different types of

engine and able to help in solving different kinds of engine troubles He was also

able to handle pumps for reconditioning and assembling For him all the

equipments that were used inside the company were his output project

Impact to Field of Specialization

The training served as the stepping stone of the trainees to the real

life of an engineer It served as the beginning the real life of being an employee

The trainees have realized that learning is a lifetime commitment that is

continues even you already have a job The training gave the students more

initiative to their chosen career The students were more encouraged to pursue

the Mechanical Engineering course The training inspired the trainees to enhance

their skills and knowledge in the field of mechanical engineering The trainees

were given some ideas what could be the feeling or situation being an employee

The training enriched their individuality as a beginner and created the foundation

of being a good worker The best thing that the trainees have gained inside the

company was the good orientation of the person having the higher positions

As a mechanical engineering student the OJT made me realize the

importance of the course that I am taking It made me realize the essential role of

a mechanical engineer in a company Mechanical engineering can take the work

of electrical and civil engineering but no other course can takes place the work

of mechanical engineer in a company To be a competent one not only an

29

engineer must understand the process and the underlying principles but also be

knowledgeable of the operation of certain equipments that carry out the process

An engineer must also possess good communication and leadership skill

Conclusion

The students have undergone a good training The task given to them was

an application of design 1 design 2 and ME LAB 2 of their course The design of

the bolts and nuts has a great in connection to the subjects The design of the

flywheels and other machine members deals with the study of design 1 itself

Parts of the engines and kinds of pumps were exactly related to what was

discussed inside the classroom The trainees were technically given actual

problems that have a main concern with the mechanical engineering subjects

The nature of the career course was the main focus of the training The training

of students will be useful if the nature of their training have the major concern for

their chosen career The trainees would able to use the experiences they have

gone through during the training whenever they are already in the field of

specialization

Recommendation30

The company created a good service to their clients and gave the best

training for the students The students must have a good company that would

give them a good training ground and would enhance their knowledge and

capabilities The school must have the good coordination for some companies

that offer an annual On the Job Training inside their company The school should

provide more budgets given to the OJT coordinators to have the best monitoring

of the training the students are taking One of the best ways of training is the

provincial trainings that would give different experiences to the trainees An out of

town training would give more self esteem to the students The mechanical

engineering students have their training every 4th year and second semester of

the year It is more efficient if they will take it 5th year of their last semester In

some cases having their training during their 4th year of school would sometimes

affect the rhythm of their schooling because in mechanical engineering the

students OJT have their preferred pre-requisite subjects that once not taken

would give a big effect to the arrangement of the studentrsquos subjects Instead of

the regular schedule of years of studying once being affected by the pre-

requisite subjects the students would waste some of the time spending for the

subjects affected by the OJT For the company they should give more lectures

on the technical parts of the company like Auto Cad and Mechanical Devices

used by the Department

CHAPTER III18

ON THE JOB TRAINING ACTIVITIES

This chapter narrates the activities that the student trainees had gone

through during the training This also includes the observation participation

interaction and challenges during their training

This discusses its place as a development tool and how it was delivered

effectively by the company On the job training is an important way in which

students acquire relevant knowledge and skills at work

Narrative Experience

November 18 2008 it was the date when the trainee started the on the

job training at Keppel Batangas Shipyard It is a shipyard company which is

situated along side of Batangas Bay at San Miguel Bauan Batangas

The trainee was assigned at the department which is called motor pool

This department serves as the general maintenance for the equipments and

gadgets that were used inside the company Also at this department all

operators of the cranes lifters and trailers were assigned Almost all of them

were regular workers of Keppel and served the company for almost 20 years

19

Training supervisor provides PPEs for the trainees on the first day PPE

stands for personal protective equipment which consists of safety belt helmet

safety goggle and gloves

Every morning the supervisor calls for a mustering or a meeting On this

meeting safety personnel check all the workers on the assigned department if

they were wearing in their proper PPE Also they discuss all about what they

must do on that day

The trainee started his work as an assistant and a helper He helped in

bringing the tools and parts that they need assist them when they disassembling

engines and hold nuts and bolts as they detached it They do not allow the

trainee to handle machine members especially to those sensitive parts like

injectors tubing shafts and gears Being a helper is unexciting expecting it was

the only work that the trainee do for rest of his OJT

Time came when he first handle machine members it was a transmission

gears that detached from a fork lift crane That time is when his co-worker asked

him to clean and take away greases that stock up on the gears The trainee

thought that he was the one who will disassemble the transmission box But at

least they let him handle a sensitive machine parts for the first time

A month later new set of disassembled four cylinder engine was arrived

That was the first time when the trainee saw engine parts in reality His co-

worker which is an expert on the engines taught the trainee the different parts of

the engine as he assembled it And of course the trainee already passed the

20

subject called ME LAB II under Engr Aguila so that is why the later can relate

and can easily identify the parts that his co-worker instructs He also taught the

trainee some technique in assembling and installing the engine parts Some of it

was when installing piston ring the tapered side of the ring must face downward

Piston of a diesel engine was different from piston of gasoline engine The later

has a hole on is face but this hole was not in the center of the face That is why

placing the piston pointing the hole upward has a great difference when placing it

on the opposite The correct position was placing the piston that pointing the hole

upward This is because the fuel injector was placed on the upper side of the

block making it sprays fuel exactly at the hole He also taught the trainee about

the proper timing of the valve and fuel injector and also the sequence of firing

inside the engine cylinders For a 4-cylinder engine order of firing was 1-3-2-4

For a 6-cylinder engine firing was 1-4-2-6-3-5 And for an 8-cylinder v-type

engine firing was 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2 These firing orders were not constant at all

engines it is just only based on the traineersquos experience Firing orders were

variable and based on the manufacturers design in order to minimize vibration

On the following days the trainee had already worked just like a regular

employee of the Keppel Starting on that time he was not an assistant or a

helper any longer just like on his first day of OJT but one of maintenance

personnel on that department He experienced installing engine parts like

flywheel injectors radiator manifolds valves and timing gears He also

performed top hauling a six cylinder engine disassembling a v-type engine which

21

composed of eight cylinders removing water pump and making gaskets out of

paper folder

Not only engines were repaired under maintenance department they also

repair pumps Most common type of pump that was used on the Keppel shipyard

was the piston type pump It consists of three cylinders and operated using high

speed motor The trainee experienced reconditioning this type of pump replacing

new gaskets polishing the cylinder installing bearing and gears placing new

piston and connecting rod and changing the gear oil Another type of pump that

they handled on their department was the gear type pump This type of pump

was used commonly as a pump for crane and lifter hydraulic This pump consists

of two gears that mesh to pump fluid by displacement This type of pump is best

suitable for pumping hydraulics and other substances which is of high viscosity

Being an apprentice on that kind of department was really remarkable All

the skills and techniques that they shared with the trainee will help him for his

future career

Observation

The trainee who was training at Keppel Batangas Shipyard for almost four

months observed the daily activities and practices that the workers inside the

company performed as well as rules and regulation that all workers and

employees must comply with

22

The trainee easily observed that all workers inside the working zone must

wear their proper PPE during working hours Even the sweeper or janitor who

cleans the yard must wear complete PPE Any workers who will notice without in

their proper PPE will be given a punishment which is by cleaning the whole yard

for one week and posting their pictures at the gate of the company reminding

everyone that those people were violators Safety inside the company was really

strict

Another thing that the trainee observed was the rules and regulation that

the company initiated Before entering the company regular frisking and

baggage inspections were conducted Car without stickers cannot enter inside

the company except for the visitors Trainees are not included as a visitor

Another was the NO smoking sleeping and by standing rule Any violators who

will be caught will fine an amount of one thousand pesos Gadgets like mobile

phones and portable mp3 players are not allowed during working hours Gadgets

must be placed on the locker room Requests like emergency calls are accepted

making sure that the call was important and entertain able

Participation

The trainee participated in the normal operation of the company by

maintaining the equipments used in the shipyard in their good condition Daily

check on the important spots of the cranes like the pressure of the tires fuel

levels gear and engine oil lubrication of the joints and the water level of the

23

radiator Errors must be predict and must be solved before it happened Any

trouble happened to the equipment during the progression will cause a big

interruption on the whole process of the company

The trainee also participated as a tool keeper on maintenance

department Tools and parts of the machine must be kept to avoid misplacing it

Tools must be clean before they were returned to the tool box Bolts nuts and

small machine parts must be placed in a closed container

Interaction

During the training at Keppel Batangas Shipyard the trainee learned to

interact with other people We know that people have different characteristics and

attitudes however making friends with the traineersquos co-workers doesnrsquot make

difficult

Even though he was only a trainee they donrsquot treat him like others And as

a trainee donrsquot feel uncomfortable as he worked with them From the interaction

the trainee made with them the later learned to work with patience Although

thoroughly working on something was time consuming the quality of the output

product is the most important He also learned from his co-workerrsquos experiences

and mistakes and apply them whenever he needed it They also encouraged the

trainee to go on with his studies until he become a professional

24

Although I worked and interact with them for a short period of time I

learned a lot to them the skills and techniques that they shared with me that

cannot be find on the books

Challenges

Challenge is test of ones abilities or resources in a demanding And

challenges are always present

During the traineersquos on-the-job training he met some challenges that push

him to work much better First is when one of his co-workers challenged him to

be greedy in learning new things and skills That is also the time when the

traineersquos supervisor said than if the later want high grade he must work like a

real employee That was a big challenge for the trainee He was only a trainee

so the supervisor must supervise him and not to let him handle a situation than

he didnrsquot know And because of that the trainee learned to put a dedication to his

work

Another challenge that the trainee met was the climate during his working

hours on the field The heat coming from the sun makes him uncomfortable And

there is a time halfway of his training when he got sick

Lastly one challenge that the trainee met is when his co-worker asked him

to remove a bolt from a crankcase of a 4-cylinder engine The trainee thought it

was easy But then he was wrong He asked other to hold the crankcase as he

25

twisted the bolt using a socket wrench Still the bolt doesnrsquot pull out He twisted it

again using extension and pulled it as he can At last bolt was removed but the

trainees hands were aching He forced himself to twist the bolt because he said

to his co-worker that he can do it without even knowing that the bolt was placed

to the crankcase using an air lock and has a torque of 200 Newton

Problems Met and Solutions Offered

Problems that the trainee encountered during his training were all related

to the engine and pump failures

Lack of materials to be needed must be resolved using alternative one

Like gaskets In making gaskets special paper called paper gasket was being

needed But as an alternate to paper gasket paper folder can be used It was

fastened to the joints by means of gasket maker a glue-like liquid

flywheel injectors radiator manifolds valves and timing gears He also

performed top hauling a six cylinder engine disassembling a v-type engine which

21

composed of eight cylinders removing water pump and making gaskets out of

paper folder

Not only engines were repaired under maintenance department they also

repair pumps Most common type of pump that was used on the Keppel shipyard

was the piston type pump It consists of three cylinders and operated using high

speed motor The trainee experienced reconditioning this type of pump replacing

new gaskets polishing the cylinder installing bearing and gears placing new

piston and connecting rod and changing the gear oil Another type of pump that

they handled on their department was the gear type pump This type of pump

was used commonly as a pump for crane and lifter hydraulic This pump consists

of two gears that mesh to pump fluid by displacement This type of pump is best

suitable for pumping hydraulics and other substances which is of high viscosity

Being an apprentice on that kind of department was really remarkable All

the skills and techniques that they shared with the trainee will help him for his

future career

Observation

The trainee who was training at Keppel Batangas Shipyard for almost four

months observed the daily activities and practices that the workers inside the

company performed as well as rules and regulation that all workers and

employees must comply with

22

The trainee easily observed that all workers inside the working zone must

wear their proper PPE during working hours Even the sweeper or janitor who

cleans the yard must wear complete PPE Any workers who will notice without in

their proper PPE will be given a punishment which is by cleaning the whole yard

for one week and posting their pictures at the gate of the company reminding

everyone that those people were violators Safety inside the company was really

strict

Another thing that the trainee observed was the rules and regulation that

the company initiated Before entering the company regular frisking and

baggage inspections were conducted Car without stickers cannot enter inside

the company except for the visitors Trainees are not included as a visitor

Another was the NO smoking sleeping and by standing rule Any violators who

will be caught will fine an amount of one thousand pesos Gadgets like mobile

phones and portable mp3 players are not allowed during working hours Gadgets

must be placed on the locker room Requests like emergency calls are accepted

making sure that the call was important and entertain able

Participation

The trainee participated in the normal operation of the company by

maintaining the equipments used in the shipyard in their good condition Daily

check on the important spots of the cranes like the pressure of the tires fuel

levels gear and engine oil lubrication of the joints and the water level of the

23

radiator Errors must be predict and must be solved before it happened Any

trouble happened to the equipment during the progression will cause a big

interruption on the whole process of the company

The trainee also participated as a tool keeper on maintenance

department Tools and parts of the machine must be kept to avoid misplacing it

Tools must be clean before they were returned to the tool box Bolts nuts and

small machine parts must be placed in a closed container

Interaction

During the training at Keppel Batangas Shipyard the trainee learned to

interact with other people We know that people have different characteristics and

attitudes however making friends with the traineersquos co-workers doesnrsquot make

difficult

Even though he was only a trainee they donrsquot treat him like others And as

a trainee donrsquot feel uncomfortable as he worked with them From the interaction

the trainee made with them the later learned to work with patience Although

thoroughly working on something was time consuming the quality of the output

product is the most important He also learned from his co-workerrsquos experiences

and mistakes and apply them whenever he needed it They also encouraged the

trainee to go on with his studies until he become a professional

24

Although I worked and interact with them for a short period of time I

learned a lot to them the skills and techniques that they shared with me that

cannot be find on the books

Challenges

Challenge is test of ones abilities or resources in a demanding And

challenges are always present

During the traineersquos on-the-job training he met some challenges that push

him to work much better First is when one of his co-workers challenged him to

be greedy in learning new things and skills That is also the time when the

traineersquos supervisor said than if the later want high grade he must work like a

real employee That was a big challenge for the trainee He was only a trainee

so the supervisor must supervise him and not to let him handle a situation than

he didnrsquot know And because of that the trainee learned to put a dedication to his

work

Another challenge that the trainee met was the climate during his working

hours on the field The heat coming from the sun makes him uncomfortable And

there is a time halfway of his training when he got sick

Lastly one challenge that the trainee met is when his co-worker asked him

to remove a bolt from a crankcase of a 4-cylinder engine The trainee thought it

was easy But then he was wrong He asked other to hold the crankcase as he

25

twisted the bolt using a socket wrench Still the bolt doesnrsquot pull out He twisted it

again using extension and pulled it as he can At last bolt was removed but the

trainees hands were aching He forced himself to twist the bolt because he said

to his co-worker that he can do it without even knowing that the bolt was placed

to the crankcase using an air lock and has a torque of 200 Newton

Problems Met and Solutions Offered

Problems that the trainee encountered during his training were all related

to the engine and pump failures

Lack of materials to be needed must be resolved using alternative one

Like gaskets In making gaskets special paper called paper gasket was being

needed But as an alternate to paper gasket paper folder can be used It was

fastened to the joints by means of gasket maker a glue-like liquid

26

CHAPTER IV

PERSONAL EVALUATION CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION

This chapter presents the entire training period with the activities done by

the trainees This shows the accomplishments and skills being enhanced during

the internship period that gave them the best training ground as a beginner

Accomplishment and Contribution

The traineersquos contribution to the company was mostly in maintaining the

equipments on its good condition He was able helped the regular employee in

repairing and building the equipments used in the yard Such would help them to

minimize their work and finished it for a short period of time and with high quality

The trainee also do such house keeping on the times that there is no

work Cleaning the barracks can be a simple way to minimize accidents

The trainee also shared with them new knowledge such as conversion of

units and basic formulas It would help them to compare the values using

different units and to get values in a simple but accurate way

27

Competencies Gained

The training inside the company is learning experience each day The

trainee learned to appreciate the lessons studied in school He was able to

realize the importance of theories and formulas that was discussed inside the

classroom And also to understand that everything that was thought inside the

school can be a tool that can be used in future career

As the trainee was working as a trainee at Keppel he learned to become

a hard-working person Time to complete the output product is not important but

the quality He also learned to follow the instructions as what the superiors said

and to accept opinion that they suggested

At the school being late is better than absent But as what the trainee

learned at Keppel being absent is better than being late Being absent can be a

cause of emergency situations like sickness unpredicted travels and

phenomena while being late is a cause of misbehavior and unable to manage

the time

Lastly the trainee learned that on-the-job training is not just only a subject

to be passed or a requirement to be completed but on-the-job training is an

opportunity to show what skills talents and techniques that the student learned

from the school and also an opportunity to experience the life outside the

campus serving companies like a professional on the field of the studentsrsquo

specialization

ProjectsOutput28

At the end of the traineersquos OJT he was able to repair different types of

engine and able to help in solving different kinds of engine troubles He was also

able to handle pumps for reconditioning and assembling For him all the

equipments that were used inside the company were his output project

Impact to Field of Specialization

The training served as the stepping stone of the trainees to the real

life of an engineer It served as the beginning the real life of being an employee

The trainees have realized that learning is a lifetime commitment that is

continues even you already have a job The training gave the students more

initiative to their chosen career The students were more encouraged to pursue

the Mechanical Engineering course The training inspired the trainees to enhance

their skills and knowledge in the field of mechanical engineering The trainees

were given some ideas what could be the feeling or situation being an employee

The training enriched their individuality as a beginner and created the foundation

of being a good worker The best thing that the trainees have gained inside the

company was the good orientation of the person having the higher positions

As a mechanical engineering student the OJT made me realize the

importance of the course that I am taking It made me realize the essential role of

a mechanical engineer in a company Mechanical engineering can take the work

of electrical and civil engineering but no other course can takes place the work

of mechanical engineer in a company To be a competent one not only an

29

engineer must understand the process and the underlying principles but also be

knowledgeable of the operation of certain equipments that carry out the process

An engineer must also possess good communication and leadership skill

Conclusion

The students have undergone a good training The task given to them was

an application of design 1 design 2 and ME LAB 2 of their course The design of

the bolts and nuts has a great in connection to the subjects The design of the

flywheels and other machine members deals with the study of design 1 itself

Parts of the engines and kinds of pumps were exactly related to what was

discussed inside the classroom The trainees were technically given actual

problems that have a main concern with the mechanical engineering subjects

The nature of the career course was the main focus of the training The training

of students will be useful if the nature of their training have the major concern for

their chosen career The trainees would able to use the experiences they have

gone through during the training whenever they are already in the field of

specialization

Recommendation30

The company created a good service to their clients and gave the best

training for the students The students must have a good company that would

give them a good training ground and would enhance their knowledge and

capabilities The school must have the good coordination for some companies

that offer an annual On the Job Training inside their company The school should

provide more budgets given to the OJT coordinators to have the best monitoring

of the training the students are taking One of the best ways of training is the

provincial trainings that would give different experiences to the trainees An out of

town training would give more self esteem to the students The mechanical

engineering students have their training every 4th year and second semester of

the year It is more efficient if they will take it 5th year of their last semester In

some cases having their training during their 4th year of school would sometimes

affect the rhythm of their schooling because in mechanical engineering the

students OJT have their preferred pre-requisite subjects that once not taken

would give a big effect to the arrangement of the studentrsquos subjects Instead of

the regular schedule of years of studying once being affected by the pre-

requisite subjects the students would waste some of the time spending for the

subjects affected by the OJT For the company they should give more lectures

on the technical parts of the company like Auto Cad and Mechanical Devices

used by the Department

CHAPTER III18

ON THE JOB TRAINING ACTIVITIES

This chapter narrates the activities that the student trainees had gone

through during the training This also includes the observation participation

interaction and challenges during their training

This discusses its place as a development tool and how it was delivered

effectively by the company On the job training is an important way in which

students acquire relevant knowledge and skills at work

Narrative Experience

November 18 2008 it was the date when the trainee started the on the

job training at Keppel Batangas Shipyard It is a shipyard company which is

situated along side of Batangas Bay at San Miguel Bauan Batangas

The trainee was assigned at the department which is called motor pool

This department serves as the general maintenance for the equipments and

gadgets that were used inside the company Also at this department all

operators of the cranes lifters and trailers were assigned Almost all of them

were regular workers of Keppel and served the company for almost 20 years

19

Training supervisor provides PPEs for the trainees on the first day PPE

stands for personal protective equipment which consists of safety belt helmet

safety goggle and gloves

Every morning the supervisor calls for a mustering or a meeting On this

meeting safety personnel check all the workers on the assigned department if

they were wearing in their proper PPE Also they discuss all about what they

must do on that day

The trainee started his work as an assistant and a helper He helped in

bringing the tools and parts that they need assist them when they disassembling

engines and hold nuts and bolts as they detached it They do not allow the

trainee to handle machine members especially to those sensitive parts like

injectors tubing shafts and gears Being a helper is unexciting expecting it was

the only work that the trainee do for rest of his OJT

Time came when he first handle machine members it was a transmission

gears that detached from a fork lift crane That time is when his co-worker asked

him to clean and take away greases that stock up on the gears The trainee

thought that he was the one who will disassemble the transmission box But at

least they let him handle a sensitive machine parts for the first time

A month later new set of disassembled four cylinder engine was arrived

That was the first time when the trainee saw engine parts in reality His co-

worker which is an expert on the engines taught the trainee the different parts of

the engine as he assembled it And of course the trainee already passed the

20

subject called ME LAB II under Engr Aguila so that is why the later can relate

and can easily identify the parts that his co-worker instructs He also taught the

trainee some technique in assembling and installing the engine parts Some of it

was when installing piston ring the tapered side of the ring must face downward

Piston of a diesel engine was different from piston of gasoline engine The later

has a hole on is face but this hole was not in the center of the face That is why

placing the piston pointing the hole upward has a great difference when placing it

on the opposite The correct position was placing the piston that pointing the hole

upward This is because the fuel injector was placed on the upper side of the

block making it sprays fuel exactly at the hole He also taught the trainee about

the proper timing of the valve and fuel injector and also the sequence of firing

inside the engine cylinders For a 4-cylinder engine order of firing was 1-3-2-4

For a 6-cylinder engine firing was 1-4-2-6-3-5 And for an 8-cylinder v-type

engine firing was 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2 These firing orders were not constant at all

engines it is just only based on the traineersquos experience Firing orders were

variable and based on the manufacturers design in order to minimize vibration

On the following days the trainee had already worked just like a regular

employee of the Keppel Starting on that time he was not an assistant or a

helper any longer just like on his first day of OJT but one of maintenance

personnel on that department He experienced installing engine parts like

flywheel injectors radiator manifolds valves and timing gears He also

performed top hauling a six cylinder engine disassembling a v-type engine which

21

composed of eight cylinders removing water pump and making gaskets out of

paper folder

Not only engines were repaired under maintenance department they also

will be caught will fine an amount of one thousand pesos Gadgets like mobile

phones and portable mp3 players are not allowed during working hours Gadgets

must be placed on the locker room Requests like emergency calls are accepted

making sure that the call was important and entertain able

Participation

The trainee participated in the normal operation of the company by

maintaining the equipments used in the shipyard in their good condition Daily

they handled on their department was the gear type pump This type of pump

was used commonly as a pump for crane and lifter hydraulic This pump consists

of two gears that mesh to pump fluid by displacement This type of pump is best

suitable for pumping hydraulics and other substances which is of high viscosity

Being an apprentice on that kind of department was really remarkable All

the skills and techniques that they shared with the trainee will help him for his

future career

Observation

The trainee who was training at Keppel Batangas Shipyard for almost four

months observed the daily activities and practices that the workers inside the

company performed as well as rules and regulation that all workers and

employees must comply with

22

The trainee easily observed that all workers inside the working zone must

wear their proper PPE during working hours Even the sweeper or janitor who

cleans the yard must wear complete PPE Any workers who will notice without in

their proper PPE will be given a punishment which is by cleaning the whole yard

for one week and posting their pictures at the gate of the company reminding

everyone that those people were violators Safety inside the company was really

strict

Another thing that the trainee observed was the rules and regulation that

the company initiated Before entering the company regular frisking and

baggage inspections were conducted Car without stickers cannot enter inside

the company except for the visitors Trainees are not included as a visitor

Another was the NO smoking sleeping and by standing rule Any violators who

will be caught will fine an amount of one thousand pesos Gadgets like mobile

phones and portable mp3 players are not allowed during working hours Gadgets

must be placed on the locker room Requests like emergency calls are accepted

making sure that the call was important and entertain able

Participation

The trainee participated in the normal operation of the company by

maintaining the equipments used in the shipyard in their good condition Daily

check on the important spots of the cranes like the pressure of the tires fuel

levels gear and engine oil lubrication of the joints and the water level of the

23

radiator Errors must be predict and must be solved before it happened Any

trouble happened to the equipment during the progression will cause a big

interruption on the whole process of the company

The trainee also participated as a tool keeper on maintenance

department Tools and parts of the machine must be kept to avoid misplacing it

Tools must be clean before they were returned to the tool box Bolts nuts and

small machine parts must be placed in a closed container

Interaction

During the training at Keppel Batangas Shipyard the trainee learned to

interact with other people We know that people have different characteristics and

attitudes however making friends with the traineersquos co-workers doesnrsquot make

difficult

Even though he was only a trainee they donrsquot treat him like others And as

a trainee donrsquot feel uncomfortable as he worked with them From the interaction

the trainee made with them the later learned to work with patience Although

thoroughly working on something was time consuming the quality of the output

product is the most important He also learned from his co-workerrsquos experiences

and mistakes and apply them whenever he needed it They also encouraged the

trainee to go on with his studies until he become a professional

24

Although I worked and interact with them for a short period of time I

learned a lot to them the skills and techniques that they shared with me that

cannot be find on the books

Challenges

Challenge is test of ones abilities or resources in a demanding And

challenges are always present

During the traineersquos on-the-job training he met some challenges that push

him to work much better First is when one of his co-workers challenged him to

be greedy in learning new things and skills That is also the time when the

traineersquos supervisor said than if the later want high grade he must work like a

real employee That was a big challenge for the trainee He was only a trainee

so the supervisor must supervise him and not to let him handle a situation than

he didnrsquot know And because of that the trainee learned to put a dedication to his

work

Another challenge that the trainee met was the climate during his working

hours on the field The heat coming from the sun makes him uncomfortable And

there is a time halfway of his training when he got sick

Lastly one challenge that the trainee met is when his co-worker asked him

to remove a bolt from a crankcase of a 4-cylinder engine The trainee thought it

was easy But then he was wrong He asked other to hold the crankcase as he

25

twisted the bolt using a socket wrench Still the bolt doesnrsquot pull out He twisted it

again using extension and pulled it as he can At last bolt was removed but the

trainees hands were aching He forced himself to twist the bolt because he said

to his co-worker that he can do it without even knowing that the bolt was placed

to the crankcase using an air lock and has a torque of 200 Newton

Problems Met and Solutions Offered

Problems that the trainee encountered during his training were all related

to the engine and pump failures

Lack of materials to be needed must be resolved using alternative one

Like gaskets In making gaskets special paper called paper gasket was being

needed But as an alternate to paper gasket paper folder can be used It was

fastened to the joints by means of gasket maker a glue-like liquid

26

CHAPTER IV

PERSONAL EVALUATION CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION

This chapter presents the entire training period with the activities done by

the trainees This shows the accomplishments and skills being enhanced during

the internship period that gave them the best training ground as a beginner

Accomplishment and Contribution

The traineersquos contribution to the company was mostly in maintaining the

equipments on its good condition He was able helped the regular employee in

repairing and building the equipments used in the yard Such would help them to

minimize their work and finished it for a short period of time and with high quality

The trainee also do such house keeping on the times that there is no

work Cleaning the barracks can be a simple way to minimize accidents

The trainee also shared with them new knowledge such as conversion of

units and basic formulas It would help them to compare the values using

different units and to get values in a simple but accurate way

27

Competencies Gained

The training inside the company is learning experience each day The

trainee learned to appreciate the lessons studied in school He was able to

realize the importance of theories and formulas that was discussed inside the

classroom And also to understand that everything that was thought inside the

school can be a tool that can be used in future career

As the trainee was working as a trainee at Keppel he learned to become

a hard-working person Time to complete the output product is not important but

the quality He also learned to follow the instructions as what the superiors said

and to accept opinion that they suggested

At the school being late is better than absent But as what the trainee

learned at Keppel being absent is better than being late Being absent can be a

cause of emergency situations like sickness unpredicted travels and

phenomena while being late is a cause of misbehavior and unable to manage

the time

Lastly the trainee learned that on-the-job training is not just only a subject

to be passed or a requirement to be completed but on-the-job training is an

opportunity to show what skills talents and techniques that the student learned

from the school and also an opportunity to experience the life outside the

campus serving companies like a professional on the field of the studentsrsquo

specialization

ProjectsOutput28

At the end of the traineersquos OJT he was able to repair different types of

engine and able to help in solving different kinds of engine troubles He was also

able to handle pumps for reconditioning and assembling For him all the

equipments that were used inside the company were his output project

Impact to Field of Specialization

The training served as the stepping stone of the trainees to the real

life of an engineer It served as the beginning the real life of being an employee

The trainees have realized that learning is a lifetime commitment that is

continues even you already have a job The training gave the students more

initiative to their chosen career The students were more encouraged to pursue

the Mechanical Engineering course The training inspired the trainees to enhance

their skills and knowledge in the field of mechanical engineering The trainees

were given some ideas what could be the feeling or situation being an employee

The training enriched their individuality as a beginner and created the foundation

of being a good worker The best thing that the trainees have gained inside the

company was the good orientation of the person having the higher positions

As a mechanical engineering student the OJT made me realize the

importance of the course that I am taking It made me realize the essential role of

a mechanical engineer in a company Mechanical engineering can take the work

of electrical and civil engineering but no other course can takes place the work

of mechanical engineer in a company To be a competent one not only an

29

engineer must understand the process and the underlying principles but also be

knowledgeable of the operation of certain equipments that carry out the process

An engineer must also possess good communication and leadership skill

Conclusion

The students have undergone a good training The task given to them was

an application of design 1 design 2 and ME LAB 2 of their course The design of

the bolts and nuts has a great in connection to the subjects The design of the

flywheels and other machine members deals with the study of design 1 itself

Parts of the engines and kinds of pumps were exactly related to what was

discussed inside the classroom The trainees were technically given actual

problems that have a main concern with the mechanical engineering subjects

The nature of the career course was the main focus of the training The training

of students will be useful if the nature of their training have the major concern for

their chosen career The trainees would able to use the experiences they have

gone through during the training whenever they are already in the field of

specialization

Recommendation30

The company created a good service to their clients and gave the best

training for the students The students must have a good company that would

give them a good training ground and would enhance their knowledge and

capabilities The school must have the good coordination for some companies

that offer an annual On the Job Training inside their company The school should

provide more budgets given to the OJT coordinators to have the best monitoring

of the training the students are taking One of the best ways of training is the

provincial trainings that would give different experiences to the trainees An out of

town training would give more self esteem to the students The mechanical

engineering students have their training every 4th year and second semester of

the year It is more efficient if they will take it 5th year of their last semester In

some cases having their training during their 4th year of school would sometimes

affect the rhythm of their schooling because in mechanical engineering the

students OJT have their preferred pre-requisite subjects that once not taken

would give a big effect to the arrangement of the studentrsquos subjects Instead of

the regular schedule of years of studying once being affected by the pre-

requisite subjects the students would waste some of the time spending for the

subjects affected by the OJT For the company they should give more lectures

on the technical parts of the company like Auto Cad and Mechanical Devices

used by the Department

ON THE JOB TRAINING ACTIVITIES

This chapter narrates the activities that the student trainees had gone

through during the training This also includes the observation participation

interaction and challenges during their training

This discusses its place as a development tool and how it was delivered

effectively by the company On the job training is an important way in which

students acquire relevant knowledge and skills at work

Narrative Experience

November 18 2008 it was the date when the trainee started the on the

job training at Keppel Batangas Shipyard It is a shipyard company which is

situated along side of Batangas Bay at San Miguel Bauan Batangas

The trainee was assigned at the department which is called motor pool

This department serves as the general maintenance for the equipments and

gadgets that were used inside the company Also at this department all

operators of the cranes lifters and trailers were assigned Almost all of them

were regular workers of Keppel and served the company for almost 20 years

19

Training supervisor provides PPEs for the trainees on the first day PPE

stands for personal protective equipment which consists of safety belt helmet

safety goggle and gloves

Every morning the supervisor calls for a mustering or a meeting On this

meeting safety personnel check all the workers on the assigned department if

they were wearing in their proper PPE Also they discuss all about what they

must do on that day

The trainee started his work as an assistant and a helper He helped in

bringing the tools and parts that they need assist them when they disassembling

engines and hold nuts and bolts as they detached it They do not allow the

trainee to handle machine members especially to those sensitive parts like

injectors tubing shafts and gears Being a helper is unexciting expecting it was

the only work that the trainee do for rest of his OJT

Time came when he first handle machine members it was a transmission

gears that detached from a fork lift crane That time is when his co-worker asked

him to clean and take away greases that stock up on the gears The trainee

thought that he was the one who will disassemble the transmission box But at

least they let him handle a sensitive machine parts for the first time

A month later new set of disassembled four cylinder engine was arrived

That was the first time when the trainee saw engine parts in reality His co-

worker which is an expert on the engines taught the trainee the different parts of

the engine as he assembled it And of course the trainee already passed the

20

subject called ME LAB II under Engr Aguila so that is why the later can relate

and can easily identify the parts that his co-worker instructs He also taught the

trainee some technique in assembling and installing the engine parts Some of it

was when installing piston ring the tapered side of the ring must face downward

Piston of a diesel engine was different from piston of gasoline engine The later

has a hole on is face but this hole was not in the center of the face That is why

placing the piston pointing the hole upward has a great difference when placing it

on the opposite The correct position was placing the piston that pointing the hole

upward This is because the fuel injector was placed on the upper side of the

block making it sprays fuel exactly at the hole He also taught the trainee about

the proper timing of the valve and fuel injector and also the sequence of firing

inside the engine cylinders For a 4-cylinder engine order of firing was 1-3-2-4

For a 6-cylinder engine firing was 1-4-2-6-3-5 And for an 8-cylinder v-type

engine firing was 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2 These firing orders were not constant at all

engines it is just only based on the traineersquos experience Firing orders were

variable and based on the manufacturers design in order to minimize vibration

On the following days the trainee had already worked just like a regular

employee of the Keppel Starting on that time he was not an assistant or a

helper any longer just like on his first day of OJT but one of maintenance

personnel on that department He experienced installing engine parts like

flywheel injectors radiator manifolds valves and timing gears He also

performed top hauling a six cylinder engine disassembling a v-type engine which

21

composed of eight cylinders removing water pump and making gaskets out of

paper folder

Not only engines were repaired under maintenance department they also

repair pumps Most common type of pump that was used on the Keppel shipyard

was the piston type pump It consists of three cylinders and operated using high

speed motor The trainee experienced reconditioning this type of pump replacing

new gaskets polishing the cylinder installing bearing and gears placing new

piston and connecting rod and changing the gear oil Another type of pump that

they handled on their department was the gear type pump This type of pump

was used commonly as a pump for crane and lifter hydraulic This pump consists

of two gears that mesh to pump fluid by displacement This type of pump is best

suitable for pumping hydraulics and other substances which is of high viscosity

Observation

The trainee who was training at Keppel Batangas Shipyard for almost four

months observed the daily activities and practices that the workers inside the

company performed as well as rules and regulation that all workers and

employees must comply with

22

The trainee easily observed that all workers inside the working zone must

wear their proper PPE during working hours Even the sweeper or janitor who

cleans the yard must wear complete PPE Any workers who will notice without in

their proper PPE will be given a punishment which is by cleaning the whole yard

for one week and posting their pictures at the gate of the company reminding

everyone that those people were violators Safety inside the company was really

strict

Another thing that the trainee observed was the rules and regulation that

the company initiated Before entering the company regular frisking and

baggage inspections were conducted Car without stickers cannot enter inside

the company except for the visitors Trainees are not included as a visitor

Another was the NO smoking sleeping and by standing rule Any violators who

will be caught will fine an amount of one thousand pesos Gadgets like mobile

phones and portable mp3 players are not allowed during working hours Gadgets

must be placed on the locker room Requests like emergency calls are accepted

making sure that the call was important and entertain able

Participation

The trainee participated in the normal operation of the company by

maintaining the equipments used in the shipyard in their good condition Daily

check on the important spots of the cranes like the pressure of the tires fuel

levels gear and engine oil lubrication of the joints and the water level of the

23

radiator Errors must be predict and must be solved before it happened Any

trouble happened to the equipment during the progression will cause a big

interruption on the whole process of the company

The trainee also participated as a tool keeper on maintenance

department Tools and parts of the machine must be kept to avoid misplacing it

Tools must be clean before they were returned to the tool box Bolts nuts and

small machine parts must be placed in a closed container

Interaction

During the training at Keppel Batangas Shipyard the trainee learned to

interact with other people We know that people have different characteristics and

attitudes however making friends with the traineersquos co-workers doesnrsquot make

difficult

Even though he was only a trainee they donrsquot treat him like others And as

a trainee donrsquot feel uncomfortable as he worked with them From the interaction

the trainee made with them the later learned to work with patience Although

thoroughly working on something was time consuming the quality of the output

product is the most important He also learned from his co-workerrsquos experiences

and mistakes and apply them whenever he needed it They also encouraged the

trainee to go on with his studies until he become a professional

24

Although I worked and interact with them for a short period of time I

learned a lot to them the skills and techniques that they shared with me that

cannot be find on the books

Challenges

Challenge is test of ones abilities or resources in a demanding And

challenges are always present

During the traineersquos on-the-job training he met some challenges that push

him to work much better First is when one of his co-workers challenged him to

be greedy in learning new things and skills That is also the time when the

traineersquos supervisor said than if the later want high grade he must work like a

real employee That was a big challenge for the trainee He was only a trainee

so the supervisor must supervise him and not to let him handle a situation than

he didnrsquot know And because of that the trainee learned to put a dedication to his

work

Another challenge that the trainee met was the climate during his working

hours on the field The heat coming from the sun makes him uncomfortable And

there is a time halfway of his training when he got sick

Lastly one challenge that the trainee met is when his co-worker asked him

to remove a bolt from a crankcase of a 4-cylinder engine The trainee thought it

was easy But then he was wrong He asked other to hold the crankcase as he

25

twisted the bolt using a socket wrench Still the bolt doesnrsquot pull out He twisted it

again using extension and pulled it as he can At last bolt was removed but the

trainees hands were aching He forced himself to twist the bolt because he said

to his co-worker that he can do it without even knowing that the bolt was placed

to the crankcase using an air lock and has a torque of 200 Newton

Problems Met and Solutions Offered

Problems that the trainee encountered during his training were all related

to the engine and pump failures

Lack of materials to be needed must be resolved using alternative one

Like gaskets In making gaskets special paper called paper gasket was being

needed But as an alternate to paper gasket paper folder can be used It was

fastened to the joints by means of gasket maker a glue-like liquid

CHAPTER IV

PERSONAL EVALUATION CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION

This chapter presents the entire training period with the activities done by

the trainees This shows the accomplishments and skills being enhanced during

the internship period that gave them the best training ground as a beginner

Accomplishment and Contribution

The traineersquos contribution to the company was mostly in maintaining the

equipments on its good condition He was able helped the regular employee in

repairing and building the equipments used in the yard Such would help them to

minimize their work and finished it for a short period of time and with high quality

The trainee also do such house keeping on the times that there is no

work Cleaning the barracks can be a simple way to minimize accidents

The trainee also shared with them new knowledge such as conversion of

units and basic formulas It would help them to compare the values using

different units and to get values in a simple but accurate way

27

Competencies Gained

The training inside the company is learning experience each day The

trainee learned to appreciate the lessons studied in school He was able to

realize the importance of theories and formulas that was discussed inside the

classroom And also to understand that everything that was thought inside the

school can be a tool that can be used in future career

As the trainee was working as a trainee at Keppel he learned to become

a hard-working person Time to complete the output product is not important but

the quality He also learned to follow the instructions as what the superiors said

and to accept opinion that they suggested

At the school being late is better than absent But as what the trainee

learned at Keppel being absent is better than being late Being absent can be a

cause of emergency situations like sickness unpredicted travels and

phenomena while being late is a cause of misbehavior and unable to manage

the time

Lastly the trainee learned that on-the-job training is not just only a subject

to be passed or a requirement to be completed but on-the-job training is an

opportunity to show what skills talents and techniques that the student learned

from the school and also an opportunity to experience the life outside the

campus serving companies like a professional on the field of the studentsrsquo

specialization

ProjectsOutput28

At the end of the traineersquos OJT he was able to repair different types of

engine and able to help in solving different kinds of engine troubles He was also

able to handle pumps for reconditioning and assembling For him all the

equipments that were used inside the company were his output project

Impact to Field of Specialization

The training served as the stepping stone of the trainees to the real

life of an engineer It served as the beginning the real life of being an employee

The trainees have realized that learning is a lifetime commitment that is

continues even you already have a job The training gave the students more

initiative to their chosen career The students were more encouraged to pursue

the Mechanical Engineering course The training inspired the trainees to enhance

their skills and knowledge in the field of mechanical engineering The trainees

were given some ideas what could be the feeling or situation being an employee

The training enriched their individuality as a beginner and created the foundation

of being a good worker The best thing that the trainees have gained inside the

company was the good orientation of the person having the higher positions

As a mechanical engineering student the OJT made me realize the

importance of the course that I am taking It made me realize the essential role of

a mechanical engineer in a company Mechanical engineering can take the work

of electrical and civil engineering but no other course can takes place the work

of mechanical engineer in a company To be a competent one not only an

29

engineer must understand the process and the underlying principles but also be

knowledgeable of the operation of certain equipments that carry out the process

An engineer must also possess good communication and leadership skill

Conclusion

The students have undergone a good training The task given to them was

an application of design 1 design 2 and ME LAB 2 of their course The design of

the bolts and nuts has a great in connection to the subjects The design of the

flywheels and other machine members deals with the study of design 1 itself

Parts of the engines and kinds of pumps were exactly related to what was

discussed inside the classroom The trainees were technically given actual

problems that have a main concern with the mechanical engineering subjects

The nature of the career course was the main focus of the training The training

of students will be useful if the nature of their training have the major concern for

their chosen career The trainees would able to use the experiences they have

gone through during the training whenever they are already in the field of

specialization

Recommendation30

The company created a good service to their clients and gave the best

training for the students The students must have a good company that would

give them a good training ground and would enhance their knowledge and

capabilities The school must have the good coordination for some companies

that offer an annual On the Job Training inside their company The school should

provide more budgets given to the OJT coordinators to have the best monitoring

of the training the students are taking One of the best ways of training is the

provincial trainings that would give different experiences to the trainees An out of

town training would give more self esteem to the students The mechanical

engineering students have their training every 4th year and second semester of

the year It is more efficient if they will take it 5th year of their last semester In

some cases having their training during their 4th year of school would sometimes

affect the rhythm of their schooling because in mechanical engineering the

students OJT have their preferred pre-requisite subjects that once not taken

would give a big effect to the arrangement of the studentrsquos subjects Instead of

the regular schedule of years of studying once being affected by the pre-

requisite subjects the students would waste some of the time spending for the

subjects affected by the OJT For the company they should give more lectures

on the technical parts of the company like Auto Cad and Mechanical Devices

used by the Department

31

subject called ME LAB II under Engr Aguila so that is why the later can relate

and can easily identify the parts that his co-worker instructs He also taught the

trainee some technique in assembling and installing the engine parts Some of it

was when installing piston ring the tapered side of the ring must face downward

Piston of a diesel engine was different from piston of gasoline engine The later

has a hole on is face but this hole was not in the center of the face That is why

placing the piston pointing the hole upward has a great difference when placing it

on the opposite The correct position was placing the piston that pointing the hole

upward This is because the fuel injector was placed on the upper side of the

block making it sprays fuel exactly at the hole He also taught the trainee about

the proper timing of the valve and fuel injector and also the sequence of firing

inside the engine cylinders For a 4-cylinder engine order of firing was 1-3-2-4

For a 6-cylinder engine firing was 1-4-2-6-3-5 And for an 8-cylinder v-type

engine firing was 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2 These firing orders were not constant at all

engines it is just only based on the traineersquos experience Firing orders were

variable and based on the manufacturers design in order to minimize vibration

On the following days the trainee had already worked just like a regular

employee of the Keppel Starting on that time he was not an assistant or a

helper any longer just like on his first day of OJT but one of maintenance

personnel on that department He experienced installing engine parts like

flywheel injectors radiator manifolds valves and timing gears He also

performed top hauling a six cylinder engine disassembling a v-type engine which

21

composed of eight cylinders removing water pump and making gaskets out of

paper folder

Not only engines were repaired under maintenance department they also

repair pumps Most common type of pump that was used on the Keppel shipyard

was the piston type pump It consists of three cylinders and operated using high

speed motor The trainee experienced reconditioning this type of pump replacing

new gaskets polishing the cylinder installing bearing and gears placing new

piston and connecting rod and changing the gear oil Another type of pump that

they handled on their department was the gear type pump This type of pump

was used commonly as a pump for crane and lifter hydraulic This pump consists

of two gears that mesh to pump fluid by displacement This type of pump is best

suitable for pumping hydraulics and other substances which is of high viscosity

Being an apprentice on that kind of department was really remarkable All

the skills and techniques that they shared with the trainee will help him for his

future career

Observation

The trainee who was training at Keppel Batangas Shipyard for almost four

months observed the daily activities and practices that the workers inside the

company performed as well as rules and regulation that all workers and

employees must comply with

22

The trainee easily observed that all workers inside the working zone must

wear their proper PPE during working hours Even the sweeper or janitor who

cleans the yard must wear complete PPE Any workers who will notice without in

their proper PPE will be given a punishment which is by cleaning the whole yard

for one week and posting their pictures at the gate of the company reminding

everyone that those people were violators Safety inside the company was really

strict

Another thing that the trainee observed was the rules and regulation that

the company initiated Before entering the company regular frisking and

baggage inspections were conducted Car without stickers cannot enter inside

the company except for the visitors Trainees are not included as a visitor

Another was the NO smoking sleeping and by standing rule Any violators who

will be caught will fine an amount of one thousand pesos Gadgets like mobile

phones and portable mp3 players are not allowed during working hours Gadgets

must be placed on the locker room Requests like emergency calls are accepted

making sure that the call was important and entertain able

Participation

The trainee participated in the normal operation of the company by

maintaining the equipments used in the shipyard in their good condition Daily

check on the important spots of the cranes like the pressure of the tires fuel

levels gear and engine oil lubrication of the joints and the water level of the

23

radiator Errors must be predict and must be solved before it happened Any

trouble happened to the equipment during the progression will cause a big

interruption on the whole process of the company

The trainee also participated as a tool keeper on maintenance

department Tools and parts of the machine must be kept to avoid misplacing it

Tools must be clean before they were returned to the tool box Bolts nuts and

small machine parts must be placed in a closed container

Interaction

During the training at Keppel Batangas Shipyard the trainee learned to

interact with other people We know that people have different characteristics and

attitudes however making friends with the traineersquos co-workers doesnrsquot make

difficult

Even though he was only a trainee they donrsquot treat him like others And as

a trainee donrsquot feel uncomfortable as he worked with them From the interaction

the trainee made with them the later learned to work with patience Although

thoroughly working on something was time consuming the quality of the output

product is the most important He also learned from his co-workerrsquos experiences

and mistakes and apply them whenever he needed it They also encouraged the

trainee to go on with his studies until he become a professional

24

Although I worked and interact with them for a short period of time I

learned a lot to them the skills and techniques that they shared with me that

cannot be find on the books

Challenges

Challenge is test of ones abilities or resources in a demanding And

challenges are always present

During the traineersquos on-the-job training he met some challenges that push

him to work much better First is when one of his co-workers challenged him to

be greedy in learning new things and skills That is also the time when the

traineersquos supervisor said than if the later want high grade he must work like a

real employee That was a big challenge for the trainee He was only a trainee

so the supervisor must supervise him and not to let him handle a situation than

he didnrsquot know And because of that the trainee learned to put a dedication to his

work

Another challenge that the trainee met was the climate during his working

hours on the field The heat coming from the sun makes him uncomfortable And

there is a time halfway of his training when he got sick

Lastly one challenge that the trainee met is when his co-worker asked him

to remove a bolt from a crankcase of a 4-cylinder engine The trainee thought it

was easy But then he was wrong He asked other to hold the crankcase as he

25

twisted the bolt using a socket wrench Still the bolt doesnrsquot pull out He twisted it

again using extension and pulled it as he can At last bolt was removed but the

trainees hands were aching He forced himself to twist the bolt because he said

to his co-worker that he can do it without even knowing that the bolt was placed

to the crankcase using an air lock and has a torque of 200 Newton

Problems Met and Solutions Offered

Problems that the trainee encountered during his training were all related

to the engine and pump failures

Lack of materials to be needed must be resolved using alternative one

Like gaskets In making gaskets special paper called paper gasket was being

needed But as an alternate to paper gasket paper folder can be used It was

fastened to the joints by means of gasket maker a glue-like liquid

twisted the bolt using a socket wrench Still the bolt doesnrsquot pull out He twisted it

again using extension and pulled it as he can At last bolt was removed but the

trainees hands were aching He forced himself to twist the bolt because he said

to his co-worker that he can do it without even knowing that the bolt was placed

to the crankcase using an air lock and has a torque of 200 Newton

Problems Met and Solutions Offered

Problems that the trainee encountered during his training were all related

to the engine and pump failures

Lack of materials to be needed must be resolved using alternative one

Like gaskets In making gaskets special paper called paper gasket was being

needed But as an alternate to paper gasket paper folder can be used It was

fastened to the joints by means of gasket maker a glue-like liquid

CHAPTER IV

PERSONAL EVALUATION CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION

This chapter presents the entire training period with the activities done by

the trainees This shows the accomplishments and skills being enhanced during

the internship period that gave them the best training ground as a beginner

Accomplishment and Contribution

The traineersquos contribution to the company was mostly in maintaining the

equipments on its good condition He was able helped the regular employee in

repairing and building the equipments used in the yard Such would help them to

minimize their work and finished it for a short period of time and with high quality

The trainee also do such house keeping on the times that there is no

work Cleaning the barracks can be a simple way to minimize accidents

The trainee also shared with them new knowledge such as conversion of

units and basic formulas It would help them to compare the values using

different units and to get values in a simple but accurate way

27

Competencies Gained

The training inside the company is learning experience each day The

trainee learned to appreciate the lessons studied in school He was able to

realize the importance of theories and formulas that was discussed inside the

classroom And also to understand that everything that was thought inside the

school can be a tool that can be used in future career

As the trainee was working as a trainee at Keppel he learned to become

a hard-working person Time to complete the output product is not important but

the quality He also learned to follow the instructions as what the superiors said

and to accept opinion that they suggested

At the school being late is better than absent But as what the trainee

learned at Keppel being absent is better than being late Being absent can be a

cause of emergency situations like sickness unpredicted travels and

phenomena while being late is a cause of misbehavior and unable to manage

the time

Lastly the trainee learned that on-the-job training is not just only a subject

to be passed or a requirement to be completed but on-the-job training is an

opportunity to show what skills talents and techniques that the student learned

from the school and also an opportunity to experience the life outside the

campus serving companies like a professional on the field of the studentsrsquo

specialization

ProjectsOutput28

At the end of the traineersquos OJT he was able to repair different types of

engine and able to help in solving different kinds of engine troubles He was also

able to handle pumps for reconditioning and assembling For him all the

equipments that were used inside the company were his output project

Impact to Field of Specialization

The training served as the stepping stone of the trainees to the real

life of an engineer It served as the beginning the real life of being an employee

The trainees have realized that learning is a lifetime commitment that is

continues even you already have a job The training gave the students more

initiative to their chosen career The students were more encouraged to pursue

the Mechanical Engineering course The training inspired the trainees to enhance

their skills and knowledge in the field of mechanical engineering The trainees

were given some ideas what could be the feeling or situation being an employee

The training enriched their individuality as a beginner and created the foundation

of being a good worker The best thing that the trainees have gained inside the

company was the good orientation of the person having the higher positions

As a mechanical engineering student the OJT made me realize the

importance of the course that I am taking It made me realize the essential role of

a mechanical engineer in a company Mechanical engineering can take the work

of electrical and civil engineering but no other course can takes place the work

of mechanical engineer in a company To be a competent one not only an

29

engineer must understand the process and the underlying principles but also be

knowledgeable of the operation of certain equipments that carry out the process

An engineer must also possess good communication and leadership skill

Conclusion

The students have undergone a good training The task given to them was

an application of design 1 design 2 and ME LAB 2 of their course The design of

the bolts and nuts has a great in connection to the subjects The design of the

flywheels and other machine members deals with the study of design 1 itself

Parts of the engines and kinds of pumps were exactly related to what was

discussed inside the classroom The trainees were technically given actual

problems that have a main concern with the mechanical engineering subjects

The nature of the career course was the main focus of the training The training

of students will be useful if the nature of their training have the major concern for

their chosen career The trainees would able to use the experiences they have

gone through during the training whenever they are already in the field of

specialization

Recommendation30

The company created a good service to their clients and gave the best

training for the students The students must have a good company that would

give them a good training ground and would enhance their knowledge and

capabilities The school must have the good coordination for some companies

that offer an annual On the Job Training inside their company The school should

provide more budgets given to the OJT coordinators to have the best monitoring

of the training the students are taking One of the best ways of training is the

provincial trainings that would give different experiences to the trainees An out of

town training would give more self esteem to the students The mechanical

engineering students have their training every 4th year and second semester of

the year It is more efficient if they will take it 5th year of their last semester In

some cases having their training during their 4th year of school would sometimes

affect the rhythm of their schooling because in mechanical engineering the

students OJT have their preferred pre-requisite subjects that once not taken

would give a big effect to the arrangement of the studentrsquos subjects Instead of

the regular schedule of years of studying once being affected by the pre-

requisite subjects the students would waste some of the time spending for the

subjects affected by the OJT For the company they should give more lectures

on the technical parts of the company like Auto Cad and Mechanical Devices

used by the Department

31

radiator Errors must be predict and must be solved before it happened Any

trouble happened to the equipment during the progression will cause a big

interruption on the whole process of the company

The trainee also participated as a tool keeper on maintenance

department Tools and parts of the machine must be kept to avoid misplacing it

Tools must be clean before they were returned to the tool box Bolts nuts and

small machine parts must be placed in a closed container

Interaction

During the training at Keppel Batangas Shipyard the trainee learned to

interact with other people We know that people have different characteristics and

attitudes however making friends with the traineersquos co-workers doesnrsquot make

difficult

Even though he was only a trainee they donrsquot treat him like others And as

a trainee donrsquot feel uncomfortable as he worked with them From the interaction

the trainee made with them the later learned to work with patience Although

thoroughly working on something was time consuming the quality of the output

product is the most important He also learned from his co-workerrsquos experiences

and mistakes and apply them whenever he needed it They also encouraged the

trainee to go on with his studies until he become a professional

24

Although I worked and interact with them for a short period of time I

learned a lot to them the skills and techniques that they shared with me that

cannot be find on the books

Challenges

Challenge is test of ones abilities or resources in a demanding And

challenges are always present

During the traineersquos on-the-job training he met some challenges that push

him to work much better First is when one of his co-workers challenged him to

be greedy in learning new things and skills That is also the time when the

traineersquos supervisor said than if the later want high grade he must work like a

real employee That was a big challenge for the trainee He was only a trainee

so the supervisor must supervise him and not to let him handle a situation than

he didnrsquot know And because of that the trainee learned to put a dedication to his

work

Another challenge that the trainee met was the climate during his working

hours on the field The heat coming from the sun makes him uncomfortable And

there is a time halfway of his training when he got sick

Lastly one challenge that the trainee met is when his co-worker asked him

to remove a bolt from a crankcase of a 4-cylinder engine The trainee thought it

was easy But then he was wrong He asked other to hold the crankcase as he

25

twisted the bolt using a socket wrench Still the bolt doesnrsquot pull out He twisted it

again using extension and pulled it as he can At last bolt was removed but the

trainees hands were aching He forced himself to twist the bolt because he said

to his co-worker that he can do it without even knowing that the bolt was placed

to the crankcase using an air lock and has a torque of 200 Newton

give them a good training ground and would enhance their knowledge and

capabilities The school must have the good coordination for some companies

that offer an annual On the Job Training inside their company The school should

provide more budgets given to the OJT coordinators to have the best monitoring

of the training the students are taking One of the best ways of training is the

provincial trainings that would give different experiences to the trainees An out of

town training would give more self esteem to the students The mechanical

engineering students have their training every 4th year and second semester of

the year It is more efficient if they will take it 5th year of their last semester In

some cases having their training during their 4th year of school would sometimes

affect the rhythm of their schooling because in mechanical engineering the

students OJT have their preferred pre-requisite subjects that once not taken

would give a big effect to the arrangement of the studentrsquos subjects Instead of

the regular schedule of years of studying once being affected by the pre-

requisite subjects the students would waste some of the time spending for the

subjects affected by the OJT For the company they should give more lectures

on the technical parts of the company like Auto Cad and Mechanical Devices

used by the Department

Competencies Gained

The training inside the company is learning experience each day The

trainee learned to appreciate the lessons studied in school He was able to

realize the importance of theories and formulas that was discussed inside the

classroom And also to understand that everything that was thought inside the

school can be a tool that can be used in future career

As the trainee was working as a trainee at Keppel he learned to become

a hard-working person Time to complete the output product is not important but

the quality He also learned to follow the instructions as what the superiors said

and to accept opinion that they suggested

At the school being late is better than absent But as what the trainee

learned at Keppel being absent is better than being late Being absent can be a

cause of emergency situations like sickness unpredicted travels and

phenomena while being late is a cause of misbehavior and unable to manage

the time

Lastly the trainee learned that on-the-job training is not just only a subject

to be passed or a requirement to be completed but on-the-job training is an

opportunity to show what skills talents and techniques that the student learned

from the school and also an opportunity to experience the life outside the

campus serving companies like a professional on the field of the studentsrsquo

specialization

ProjectsOutput28

At the end of the traineersquos OJT he was able to repair different types of

engine and able to help in solving different kinds of engine troubles He was also

able to handle pumps for reconditioning and assembling For him all the

equipments that were used inside the company were his output project

Impact to Field of Specialization

The training served as the stepping stone of the trainees to the real

life of an engineer It served as the beginning the real life of being an employee

The trainees have realized that learning is a lifetime commitment that is

continues even you already have a job The training gave the students more

initiative to their chosen career The students were more encouraged to pursue

the Mechanical Engineering course The training inspired the trainees to enhance

their skills and knowledge in the field of mechanical engineering The trainees

were given some ideas what could be the feeling or situation being an employee

The training enriched their individuality as a beginner and created the foundation

of being a good worker The best thing that the trainees have gained inside the

company was the good orientation of the person having the higher positions

As a mechanical engineering student the OJT made me realize the

importance of the course that I am taking It made me realize the essential role of

a mechanical engineer in a company Mechanical engineering can take the work

of electrical and civil engineering but no other course can takes place the work

of mechanical engineer in a company To be a competent one not only an

29

engineer must understand the process and the underlying principles but also be

knowledgeable of the operation of certain equipments that carry out the process

An engineer must also possess good communication and leadership skill

Conclusion

The students have undergone a good training The task given to them was

an application of design 1 design 2 and ME LAB 2 of their course The design of

the bolts and nuts has a great in connection to the subjects The design of the

flywheels and other machine members deals with the study of design 1 itself

Parts of the engines and kinds of pumps were exactly related to what was

discussed inside the classroom The trainees were technically given actual

problems that have a main concern with the mechanical engineering subjects

The nature of the career course was the main focus of the training The training

of students will be useful if the nature of their training have the major concern for

their chosen career The trainees would able to use the experiences they have

gone through during the training whenever they are already in the field of

specialization
