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. or 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. irst OJT or intern provides additional manpower for a

lesser labor cost than a regular employee. "ost of them are all eager to learn the ropes so chances are high that they will cooperate. #mployers can use this internship strategy as a method in recruiting new employees. $ince the trainer or the supervisor can follow the trainees% progress! he can gauge based on performance! behavior and attitude if the trainee will make a good recruit after the completion of his internship.

OJT%s can bring fresh ideas into the organi&ation. 'iven 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 organi&ations productivity. (hile 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. )ence! the internship also becomes an avenue in training for future managers of the company. *ccommodating 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. $uch 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.

CHAPTER I PERSONAL PROFILE

This chapter presents the personal data of the student+trainee highlighting the college of her origin! as well as her field of speciali&ation.

BATANGAS STATE UNIVERSITY The ,atangas $tate -niversity has an enduring and eventful history of service to the people particularly to the youth in the province of ,atangas. The ,$- traces its history from ./01 when it was established as a manual training engaged in tracing the youth for gainful occupation particularly in woodworking. The *merican educators at that time so the need to trainmen as builders and carpenters to help develop towns and business centers. In ./02! the manual training school was recogni&es. It was named ,atangas Trade $chool and was transferred to its present site. Its emphasis was on wood arts and building construction courses. 3ater! the course in machine shop was introduced! The ,atangas Trade $chool was renamed 4ablo ,orbon "emorial Trade $chool in honor of )onorable 4ablo ,orbon! a ,atangueno who held position in three branches of government! namely as governor! member of 4hilippine

$enate and Judge of the court of the first instance. )e contributed much for the cause of vocational education in the province. 5uring (orld (ar II! the school was temporarily closed. It was reopened on $eptember .0! ./62. The presence of many *merican *rmy surplus jeeps 7the *merican *rmy was based in ,atangas City for 8 years9 prompted the opening of another vocational course! auto mechanics. The school became co+ educational in the school year ./6: to ./6/ with offering of girl%s trade course+ food trades! cosmetology and handicraft. #nrollment gradually increased reaching its peak in school year ./2. to ./28 when construction in the Calte; <efinery in ,auan! a nearby town! was started. ,y virtue of <* =6.! the 4,"IT became a national school supported by funds from the national government for its operation and maintenance. *t this period! industrial electricity and forging were offered in addition to e;isting 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 .! ./2= <* 6=>/ converted the institution into a school of *rts and Trades and was named 4ablo ,orbon "emorial <egional $chool of *rts and Trades. or 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.

!ECHANICAL ENGINEERING "echanical engineering continues to play a key role in developing! operating and manufacturing new machines! devices and processes to benefit mankind. "echanical engineers apply their creative imaginations and

professional skills to combine both theory and practice in a variety of situations. or 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. "echanical engineers in the

commercial world combine technical and management skills to retain the competitive advantage for their companies. "echanical 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. 4ractitioners of mechanical engineering! known as mechanical engineers! use these principles and others in the design and analysis of automobiles! aircraft! heating C cooling systems! buildings and bridges! industrial equipment and machinery! and more.

!e%&ani%a" Engineering Co#rse*or+ "echanical #ngineering programs generally cover the same fundamental subjects. -niversities in the -nited $tates offering accredited programs in mechanical engineering are required to offer several major subjects of study! as determined by *,#T. 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. -niversities will often combine multiple subjects into a single class or split a subject into multiple classes! depending on the faculty available and the -niversityDs major area7s9 of research. mechanical engineering includeE

ON THE /OB 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 E.)erien%e Aovember .:! 800:! it was the date when the trainee started the on the job training at Keppel ,atangas $hipyard. It is a shipyard company which is situated along side of ,atangas ,ay at $an "iguel! ,auan! ,atangas. 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. *lso! at this department! all operators of the cranes! lifters and trailers were assigned. *lmost all of them were regular workers of Keppel and served the company for almost 80 years.

19

Training supervisor provides 44#s for the trainees on the first day. 44# stands for personal protective equipment which consists of safety belt! helmet! safety goggle and gloves. #very 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 44#. *lso! they discuss all about what they must do on that day. The trainee started his work as an assistant and a helper. )e 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. ,eing a helper is une;citing? e;pecting 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 bo;. ,ut at least they let him handle a sensitive machine parts for the first time. * month later! new set of disassembled four cylinder engine was arrived. That was the first time when the trainee saw engine parts in reality. )is co+ worker! which is an e;pert on the engines! taught the trainee the different parts of the engine as he assembled it. *nd of course! the trainee already passed the
20

subject called "# 3*, II under #ngr. *guila! so that is why the later can relate and can easily identify the parts that his co+worker instructs. )e also taught the trainee some technique in assembling and installing the engine parts. $ome of it was when installing piston ring! the tapered side of the ring must face downward. 4iston 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 e;actly at the hole. )e also taught the trainee about the proper timing of the valve and fuel injector! and also the sequence of firing inside the engine cylinders. or a 6+cylinder engine! order of firing was .+1+8+6. or a >+cylinder engine! firing was .+6+8+>+1+2. *nd for an :+cylinder! v+type engine! firing was .+:+6+1+>+2+=+8. These firing orders were not constant at all engines? it is just only based on the trainee%s e;perience. iring orders were

variable and based on the manufacturers design in order to minimi&e vibration. On the following days! the trainee had already worked just like a regular employee of the Keppel. $tarting 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. )e e;perienced installing engine parts like flywheel! injectors! radiator! manifolds! valves and timing gears. )e also performed top hauling a si; cylinder engine! disassembling a v+type engine which

21

composed of eight cylinders! removing water pump and making gaskets out of paper folder. Aot only engines were repaired under maintenance department! they also repair pumps. "ost 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 e;perienced 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. *nother 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. ,eing an apprentice on that kind of department was really remarkable. *ll the skills and techniques that they shared with the trainee will help him for his future career.

O,servation The trainee who was training at Keppel ,atangas $hipyard 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 &one must wear their proper 44# during working hours. #ven the sweeper or janitor who cleans the yard must wear complete 44#. *ny workers who will notice without in their proper 44# 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. $afety inside the company was really strict. *nother thing that the trainee observed was the rules and regulation that the company initiated. ,efore entering the company! regular frisking and baggage inspections were conducted. Car without stickers cannot enter inside the company e;cept for the visitors. Trainees are not included as a visitor. *nother was the AO smoking! sleeping and by standing rule. *ny violators who will be caught will fine an amount of one thousand pesos. 'adgets like mobile phones and portable mp1 players are not allowed during working hours. 'adgets must be placed on the locker room. <equests like emergency calls are accepted making sure that the call was important and entertain able.

Parti%i)ation The trainee participated in the normal operation of the company by maintaining the equipments used in the shipyard in their good condition. 5aily 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. #rrors must be predict and must be solved before it happened. *ny 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 bo;. ,olts! nuts and small machine parts must be placed in a closed container.

Intera%tion 5uring the training at Keppel ,atangas $hipyard! the trainee learned to interact with other people. (e know that people have different characteristics and attitudes? however! making friends with the trainee%s co+workers doesn%t make difficult. #ven though he was only a trainee! they don%t treat him like others. *nd as a trainee! don%t feel uncomfortable as he worked with them. rom the interaction the trainee made with them! the later learned to work with patience. *lthough thoroughly working on something was time consuming! the quality of the output product is the most important. )e also learned from his co+worker%s e;periences 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

*lthough 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.

C&a""enges Challenge is test of oneDs abilities or resources in a demanding. *nd challenges are always present. 5uring the trainee%s on+the+job training! he met some challenges that push him to work much better. irst 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 trainee%s supervisor said than if the later want high grade! he must work like a real employee. That was a big challenge for the trainee. )e was only a trainee! so the supervisor must supervise him and not to let him handle a situation than he didn%t know. *nd because of that! the trainee learned to put a dedication to his work. *nother challenge that the trainee met was the climate during his working hours on the field. The heat coming from the sun makes him uncomfortable. *nd there is a time! halfway of his training! when he got sick. 3astly! one challenge that the trainee met is when his co+worker asked him to remove a bolt from a crankcase of a 6+cylinder engine. The trainee thought it was easy. ,ut then! he was wrong. )e asked other to hold the
25

crankcase as he twisted the bolt using a socket wrench. $till! the bolt doesn%t pull out. )e twisted it again using e;tension and pulled it as he can. *t last! bolt was removed but the trainees hands were aching. )e 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 800 Aewton.

Pro,"e(s !et an' So"#tions Offere' 4roblems that the trainee encountered during his training were all related to the engine and pump failures. 3ack of materials to be needed must be resolved using alternative one. 3ike gaskets. In making gaskets! special paper called paper gasket was being needed. ,ut 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 RECO!!ENDATION

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.

A%%o()"is&(ent an' Contri,#tion The trainee%s contribution to the company was mostly in maintaining the equipments on its good condition. )e was able helped the regular employee in repairing and building the equipments used in the yard. $uch would help them to minimi&e 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 minimi&e 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

Co()eten%ies Gaine' The training inside the company is learning e;perience each day. The trainee learned to appreciate the lessons studied in school. )e was able to reali&e the importance of theories and formulas that was discussed inside the classroom. *nd also to understand that everything that was thought inside the school can be a tool that can be used in future career. *s 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. )e also learned to follow the instructions as what the superiors said and to accept opinion that they suggested. *t the school! being late is better than absent. ,ut as what the trainee learned at Keppel! being absent is better than being late. ,eing 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. 3astly! 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 e;perience the life outside the campus? serving companies like a professional on the field of the students% speciali&ation. Pro0e%ts1O#t)#t
28

*t the end of the trainee%s OJT! he was able to repair different types of engine and able to help in solving different kinds of engine troubles. )e was also able to handle pumps for reconditioning and assembling. or him! all the

equipments that were used inside the company were his output project.

I()a%t to Fie"' of S)e%ia"i2ation 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 reali&ed 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 "echanical #ngineering 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. *s a mechanical engineering student! the OJT made me reali&e the importance of the course that I am taking. It made me reali&e the essential role of a mechanical engineer in a company. "echanical 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. *n engineer must also possess good communication and leadership skill.

Con%"#sion The students have undergone a good training. The task given to them was an application of design .! design 8 and "# 3*, 8 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 . itself. 4arts of the engines and kinds of pumps were e;actly 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 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 e;periences to the trainees. *n out of town training would give more self esteem to the students. The mechanical engineering students have their training every 6th year and second semester of the year. It is more efficient if they will take it 2th year of their last semester. In some cases having their training during their 6th 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 student%s 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. or the company! they should give more lectures on the technical parts of the company like *uto Cad and "echanical 5evices used by the 5epartment.
