Narrative Experience
November 18, 2008, it was the date when the trainee started the on the
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.

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

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 trainee’s experience. Firing orders were

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.
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
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

interact with other people. We know that people have different characteristics
and attitudes; however, making friends with the trainee’s co-workers doesn’t
make difficult.
Even though he was only a trainee, they don’t treat him like others. And as
a trainee, don’t 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-worker’s experiences
and mistakes and apply them whenever he needed it. They also encouraged the

Challenges
During the trainee’s 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
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. He was only a trainee,
so the supervisor must supervise him and not to let him handle a situation than
he didn’t 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
Lastly, one challenge that the trainee met is when his co-worker asked
thought it was easy. But then, he was wrong. He asked other to hold the
25
crankcase as he twisted the bolt using a socket wrench. Still, the bolt doesn’t 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 that the trainee encountered during his training were all related

Projects/Output
28
At 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. 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.
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.
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.
importance of the course that I am taking. It made me realize the essential role of
of electrical and civil engineering, but, no other course can takes place the work
knowledgeable of the operation of certain equipments that carry out the process.
Conclusion
The students have undergone a good training. The task given to them was
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.
Recommendation
30
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
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. For the company, they should give more lectures
on the technical parts of the company like Auto Cad and Mechanical Devices
