1.1 Nature and Importance of the Filed Practice

(This part states the significance of the field practice in developing and acquiring
practical skills in any field relevant to the mechanical engineering discipline. It
should clearly state the nature of the field practice being conducted as its
application to the theories and basic skills learned in the lecture and laboratory
classes.)

1.2 Objectives of the Field Practice

(This part states the aim and direction of the field practice and what the student
wants to achieve in the conduct of the apprenticeship. It should include the broad
specific objectives necessary for the attainment of a successful field practice and
as a guide in the evaluation of the conduct of the said apprenticeship.)

1.3 Time and place of the Field Practice

(The part specifies the exact duration and location of the field practice has been
conducted.)

• CHAPTER 2 WORK ACTIVITIES

2.1 Application and Acceptance of the Field Practice

(Discuss or describe the application process until the company acceptance)
 2.2 Schedule of Activities and Works done
(This part presents the general overview of all the activities conducted and participated
by the student-trainee for the entire duration of the field practice)

• CHAPTER 3 DISCUSSION
(This chapter serves as the main body of the manuscript. It presents the relevant
information about the company/agency. It also, details the actual exposures and
experiences of the student-trainee which includes the procedures and strategies
learned in the conduct of OJT, and the instruments and equipment used. Furthermore,
the problems encountered for the entire duration of the OJT, strengths and weaknesses
of the company/agency will be discussed here.)

presented. This should 333 be written as technical paper and should appear as an
instructional 334 material as a future reference for other succeeding authors. 335
Furthermore, the author of the manuscript should present it without 336 using any
person, or using third person however minimal if cannot 337 be avoided, say the
“student-trainee” or the “apprentice”.)

3.2.1 Instruments and Equipment Used (If any)

(The instruments and equipment used in the conduct of the field practice may it be
office or field works should be presented here, including the features, capacity, usage
and other relevant information.)

3.2.2 Problems Encountered in the Conduct of the Field Practice

(This part provides ways the student-trainee to express or write the problems
encountered in the conduct of OJT. The problems may include but not limited to
personal, company/agency, management and any other problems met in the entire
duration of the field practice. The order in which the objectives are presented.
Therefore, problems encountered in the first objective will be given first, followed by
 problems encountered in the second objective, and so on. Other issues that did not fit
into any of the objectives will be listed in the last section of the issues encountered.)
