H e w a s a b l e t o realize the importance of theories and formulas that was discussed inside the classroom. And also to understand that everything that was thought inside theschool can be a tool that can be used in future career.As the trainee was working as a trainee at Keppel, he learned to becomea hard-working person. Time to complete the output product is not important, butthe quality. He also learned to follow the instructions as what the superiors saidand 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 ac a u s e o f e m e r g e n c y s i t u a t i o n s l i k e s i c k n e s s , u n p r e d i c t e d t r a v e l s a n d phenomena, while, being late is a cause of misbehavior and unable to managethe time.Lastly, the trainee learned that on-the-job training is not just only a subjectto be passed or a requirement to be completed but on -the-job training is anopportunity to show what skills, talents and techniques that the student learnedf r o m t h e s c h o o l a n d a l s o a n o p p o r t u n i t y t o e x p e r i e n c e t h e l i f e o u t s i d e t h e campus; serving companies like a professional on the field of the students specialization.

PROJECT/OUTPUT At the end of the trainees OJT, he was able to repair different types of engine and able to help in solving different kinds of engine troubles. He was alsoa b l e t o h a n d l e p u m p s f o r r e c o n d i t i o n i n g a n d a s s e m b l i n g . F o r h i m , a l l t h e 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 reallife of an engineer. It served as the beginning the real life of being an employee.T h e t r a i n e e s h a v e r e a l i z e d t h a t l e a r n i n g i s a l i f e t i m e c o m m i t m e n t t h a t i s continues even you already have a job. The training gave the students more initiative to their chosen career. The students were more encouraged to pursuethe Mechanical Engineering course. The training inspired the trainees to enhancetheir skills and knowledge in the field of mechanical engineering. The traineeswere given some ideas what could be the feeling or situation being an employee.The training enriched their individuality as a beginner and created the foundationof being a good worker. The best thing that the trainees have gained inside thecompany was the good orientation of the person having the higher positions.A s a m e c h a n i c a l e n g i n e e r i n g s t u d e n t , t h e O J T m a d e m e r e a l i z e t h e 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 workof electrical and civil engineering, but, no other course can takes place the worko f 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 beknowledgeable 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 wasan 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 theflywheels and other machine members deals with the study of design 1 itself. P a r t s o f t h e e n g i n e s and kinds of pumps were exactly related to what w a s discussed inside the classroom. The trainees were technically given ac

tualproblems that have a main concern with the mechanical engineering subjects.The nature of the career course was the main focus of the training. The trainingof 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 haveg o n e t h r o u g h d u r i n g t h e t r a i n i n g w h e n e v e r t h e y a r e a l r e a d y i n t h e f i e l d o f specialization. Recommendation

The company created a good service to their clients and gave the besttraining for the students. The students must have a good company that wouldg i v e t h e m a g o o d t r a i n i n g g r o u n d a n d w o u l d e n h a n c e t h e i r k n o w l e d g e a n d capabilities. The school must have the good coordination for some companiesthat offer an annual On the Job Training inside their company. The school shouldprovide more budgets given to the OJT coordinators to have the best monitoringof the training the students are taking. One of the best ways of training is theprovincial trainings that would give different experiences to the trainees. An out of town training would give more self esteem to the students. The mechanicalengineering 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. Insome cases having their training during their 4th year of school would sometimesaffect the rhythm of their schooling because in mechanical engineering of the thestudents students OJT have their preferred pre requisite subjects that once not taken would give a big effect to the arrangement subjects. Instead of t h e r e g u l a r s c h e d u l e o f y e a r s o f s t u d y i n g , o n c e b e i n g a f f e c t e d b y t h e p r e - requisite subjects, the students would waste some of the time spending

for thesubjects affected by the OJT. For the company, they should give more lectureson the technical parts of t he company like Auto Cad and Mechanical Devicesused by the Department.
