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.
1
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
3
$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.

This rapid growth includes the organi&ation classes! which were offered
for the first time in ./>1. -nemployed 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.
*wake 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 ,achelor of $cience in Industrial
#ducation in ./>2. * significant mile stone in the history of the institution came
about in ./>: by virtue of <* 28=0 the school was converted into the 4ablo
,orbon "emorial Institute of Technology giving it corporate e;istence 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. rom ./=.+./=1 mechanical! electrical and civil engineering
courses were introduced. The institution of graduate corses in ./=6 followed this
development. There are two programs on the masteral level? "aster of *rts in
Industrial #ducation! with speciali&ation in administration and supervision and
"aster of *rts in Teaching $cience! "athematics and @ocational #ducation. In
./=:! there was a felt need for management courses in the graduate level. *
consortium with the -4 college of 4ublic *dministration was established and the
classes in ""4 under -4 C4*+4,"IT consortium started.

!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
8
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. undamental subjects of
mechanical engineering includeE

"echanical engineers are also e;pected to understand and be able to
apply basic concepts from chemistry! chemical engineering! electrical
engineering! and physics. "ost mechanical engineering programs include
several semesters of calculus! as well as advanced mathematical concepts
which may include differential equations and partial differential equations! linear
and modern algebra! and differential geometry! among others.
10
In addition to the core mechanical engineering curriculum! many
mechanical engineering programs offer more speciali&ed programs and classes!
such as mechatronics B robotics! transport and logistics! cryogenics! fuel
technology! automotive engineering! biomechanics! vibration! optics and others! if
a separate department does not e;ist for these subjects.
F2G

"ost mechanical engineering programs also require varying amounts of
research or community projects to gain practical problem+solving e;perience.
"echanical engineering students usually hold one or more internships while
studying! though this is not typically mandated by the university.
S#, 'is%i)"ines
The field of mechanical engineering can be thought of as a collection of
many mechanical disciplines. $everal of these sub disciplines which are typically
taught at the undergraduate level are listed below! with a brief e;planation and
the most common application of each. $ome of these sub disciplines are unique
to mechanical engineering! while others belong to mechanical engineering and
one or more other disciplines. "ost work that a mechanical engineer does uses

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 crankcase as he
25
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.

*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.

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 trainees would able to use the e;periences they have
gone through during the training whenever they are already in the field of
speciali&ation.

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.
