C. AREAS OF TRAINING (EXPLAIN BRIEFLY EACH AREAS)

The training program focuses on actual Civil Engineering practice in a construction site. Areas of training are
as follows:

ENGINEERING

• Billing of Quantities

The billing of quantities holds all the estimated costs of materials to be used in the project by the company.
This is a closely monitored as to avoid any unnecessary expenditures and to ensure that the company funds
are allocated properly. During my training, I was told to read and to familiarize myself with the BOQ since
most items listed in it will most likely be heard and used during my training. It is very helpful as it made get to
know the terms more and specifically helped me during on-site inspections.

• Estimates

Estimation provides accurate predictions which helps the department in determining the cost in the
construction. This helps the engineers predict the course of action which would ensure the cost of materials
is minimalized but not substandard. During my training, I estimated few parts of the projects where they would
install safety mechanisms. I also estimated the parts of the structure as per plan and determine the cost it
would present as per the design.

• Bidding and Costing

The engineering department focuses manly on the bidding and costing which makes them do most of the
paperwork. The bidding takes place when subcontractors are needed for their services, specifically with
materials, inspectors and such it is an important part of the project as it provides the quality of the material if
passes through the standard needed as well if the costs are reasonable and also this promotes future
partnership even if the contract is finished. The costing is the most vital part of the department, this is closely
monitored and thoroughly checked if ever there are alterations in the design of the project. During my
training, the tasks I encountered where mostly summarizations of the costs monitoring.

OPERATIONS

15
 • Cutting List of Beams

The cutting list of beams bring about information on how the reinforcements of the beams are distributed in
order to avoid waste of materials. This ensures that reinforcements are as minimal as possible to minimize
the cost of steel reinforcements but maintaining the strength of the concrete beam. During my training, I was
exposed to the cutting list of steel reinforcement. The concept of cutting list was explained but the making a
cutting list for a beam is a bit complicated. However, I was able to understand and learn the procedure in my
own though.

• Site Observation/Inspection

Site inspection is important in order to ensure that the constructions are done according to the standard
presented in the design. This is also to address issues that are often presented on the site due to human
errors and natural factors. In the operations, site observation is done to monitor the work being done by the
workers as well as to ensure that the construction is up to date with the estimated project duration. Issues on
site can’t be avoided that is why it is important to address it in order to make possible solutions to the problem
to negate any unwanted liquidated damages. During my training there were a lot of site inspections I’ve been
done to be able to check and monitor things that have been done on site. Also, during my training together
with other interns from the University of Sto. Thomas, I have been assigned to monitor and update the
schedule of construction of specific components.

• Estimates

Unlike the cost estimates done in the engineering department, the estimate done in the operations are more
on how many materials are needed to be used to construct the specific component. During my training, I
have been assigned to estimate length of PVC that are needed in each floor.

QUALITY ASSURANCE AND QUALITY CONTROL (QA/QC)

• Material Testing

Material testing is done to ensure that the materials being use during construction are up to standard. The
QA/QC strictly implements this to be able to ensure the quality of the materials as well as to promote safety
during construction and to avoid any accidents and failures throughout the construction

16
 • Site Inspections

Site inspection are done to ensure the quality of the construction being processed. The QA/QC puts itself in
the shoes of the owner when they undergo this inspection in order to ensure the quality of the construction.
The QA/Qc also conducts inspections to ensure that the design plans are being followed not only in structural
but also in the architectural parts as well.

• Monitoring

The QAA/QC simply means Quality Assurance and Quality Control which means that they monitor the overall
quality of the construction during and after construction as t give acceptable results to the owner. It also
monitors the materials being delivered, processed, and the testing of the materials as well as the notices of
inspections. During my training, I monitored door types that are currently at hand and which areas they are
used for, double checking of material test and etc.

 CHAPTER IV
PERSONAL
EVALUATION OF THE
TRAINING PROGRAM

22
A. REACTION PAPER ON THE FOLLOWING AREAS

1. Professional Learning and Development Achieved

Time management – I have learned on how to manage my time by going to the site before 7:00 A.M in

the morning.

Cooperation – I have learned on how to cooperate with my supervisors and laborers because in order

to learn and gain new knowledge in the actual in which are not usually taught inside the school. I need

to cooperate and listen.

Interpersonal Skills – I have learned how to get along with other people because by improving this skill

I will be able to get along or “Makisama” with others disregarding or regarding their position for this will

help me increase my confidence in talking with other people I don’t know.

23
2. Modern Techniques, Skills and Tools Used/Learned

Modern techniques, skills and tools play a vital role in any construction project. Unfortunately, these were

missing in my training. There were no modern tools and techniques used in the project where i had my

training. The project mainly needed personal opinion and experience.

My training is more on observation. I was exposed to some skills when it comes to physical work with

some hand tools and power tools used in Masonry works, concrete works and Waterproofing works. Nothing

much on skills regarding management, design, planning, etc. since designs and planning is already taught in

school. Throughout the training I improved my communication skills and interpersonal skills and as well as

experience.

24
3. Equipment, Machinery, Testing Apparatus, etc. handheld

Equipment, Machinery, testing apparatus and etc. have contributed to the advancement of the construction

industry. Work has become easier. At the construction site, I was exposed to simple hand tools in handling

masonry, concreting works and waterproofing. I observed and learned some small basic material, such as

bricks, tiles, waterproofing materials and etc.

I now know how these tools and equipment work and used because the project mainly involves the

construction of a swimming pool with the aid of concreting and masonry works.

25
4. Experiences with the Company Personnel Involved in the Training

During my internship, I experienced working with professionals, Engineers and experienced workers. It

was very helpful to me in gaining new knowledge and experience on how the professionals work in the

construction industry. It also helped me understand the different scopes and works in the construction

industry and their roles and importance. I was also able to enhance some of my skills and helped me realized

the career that I am pursuing.

26
5. Best Practices used/applied

By having the opportunity to get involved with different people during my internship. It helped me enhance

my communication skills and lifelong learning, as well as gain new experience which would be very valuable

to me along the way as I enter the construction industry in the future.

During training, I always thought that I should be inspired as well as be aware of what is happening around

me rather than focusing on a single thing by not seeing the big picture. My supervisors and experienced co-

workers said that when they were young. They were never different to me now because everyone starts in

knowing nothings and in order to advance. I just need to ask questions on what I want to know and observe

and everything for in this way I would also learn.

27
6. Discipline Related Solutions Integrated into the Company

As the project is a swimming pool, the company ensures that all workers will strictly comply with the work

and ethical standards set by the company. With the future users in mind who are going to use the swimming

pool, the quality of the work is very important.

The company uses strict compliance when it comes to standards as well as using the resources efficiently.

Standards should be observed and complied to in order to ensure the capacity of the project is at maximum

and there will be no problems when it comes to the consumer’s safety.

28
7. Strong Points

Comparing on my first day at the internship, I am now comfortable with my fellow workers and superiors

because I keep on practicing my communication skill and interpersonal skills. Critical thinking and problem-

solving skills are also enhanced by thinking and analyzing the problems given at hand in order to come up

with a solution in order to fix the problem. I am now able to speak what I have on my mind in order to help to

solve the problem and also, I am now gaining knowledgeable and experience on some actual methods and

equipment’s needed in building a swimming pool.

29
8. Weak Points

One of my weak points is that when it comes to saying what’s on my mind. I can’t say it directly and also,

I easily get bored when the work I worked on is repetitive. I want to learn and see new things in order to learn

and gain new knowledge and experience in which would be very useful to me in the future as I enter the

construction industry. I am also now practicing myself on saying what is on my mind in order to speak up with

confidence because the people that I work with has either a high position or very experienced in which I am

very intimidated and showing respect is a must in order to learn new things, and I also continue to realize the

struggles and importance of the profession that I am pursuing.

30
 CHAPTER V
RECOMMENDATION

31
A. POTENTIAL OF THE COMPANY AS A TRAINING GROUND

1. Availability and appropriateness of facilities, equipment and machinery

The company had a specific facility in catering the needs of the private offices in the field of

engineering, construction, design, planning and accounting.

The company exposed me as an engineering trainee to several equipment and management at the

construction site. I have learned about the use of masonry and concreting equipment materials and

methods in how they are used. I was also exposed in managing the workers on how they run a specific

activity.

2. Company personnel cooperation

The people at this company were all very nice and approachable. They are willing to teach you the

things that I don’t know in order to learn new things. They also discussed the things that they are teaching

to you. They are fun to be with. They also respect you for not just being a trainee but a person.

32
B. DURATION OF TRAINING (TOO LONG OR TOO SHORT)

Personally, I think that two hundred forty (240) hours of OJT work is not enough because construction

industry is very dynamic and continues to advance every day. It takes time to learn on how things work in the

construction industry hence I have tried to manage to expose myself in learning as much as possible.

Most of the time was focused on observation and monitoring. I commend some of the workers and site

engineers who are good teachers and listeners. They shared their expertise and experience on how things

work in the construction industry and they made me realize the ups and downs in working at a construction

in which it made me understand and realize a lot of things.

33
C. SUGGESTIONS FOR THE IMPROVEMENT OF THE TRAINING PROGRAM

I was having a difficulty at first because it is my first time that I met those people at work. But as the time

passed by, everything is going fine. I would to suggest that don’t hesitate to ask if you don’t know something

and don’t hesitate to speak up then you are curious and want to learn. Don’t be boastful like you know

everything in the world because we don’t know everything in the world. Learn how to appreciate things that

they are teaching you because for this will be a valuable knowledge and experience in the future.

It would be better if you have knowledge on estimation and site work evaluation for this will help as you

enter and have internship in Structure flex builders Inc.

34
D. ADVISE TO FUTURE ON-THE-JOB TRAINEES

I have several advices to future interns and interns. First, when you are going to enroll OJT in 1 st or 2nd

semester, it would be better if the site and company you will be taking internship at is near at your school and

home for it will not cause any inconvenience in terms of travelling. Second, look for a company that will help

you learn new things as well as help you gain new skills as well as improve some. Third, time management,

DON’T BE LATE for this will practice one’s professionalism. Lastly, respect and appreciate your superior and

co-workers, even if they are construction workers. Don’t underestimate them because they are the one doing

construction works and they also know things that we don’t know in terms of actual application of the

theoretical things we learn at school.

A. STUDENT GOAL

Practicum

1. What do you expect to know and be able to do after the completion of the course?

I imagine to know the difference between learning inside and outside the school particularly at the

construction sites. I also expect to know how laborers work and the problems that occur in a particular project.

Furthermore, I want to know more about engineering standards and constrains.

2. What you already know and are able to do?

I was able to know common things which a Civil Engineer mainly know such as beams, columns,

walls, slabs, and footing. I was also thought on how they were built, their functions and their actual design

and uses. I also perceived a criteria and strategic plans in handling a project with the available resources that

a company has.

B. STUDENT PHILOSOPHY

Philosophy of being a Civil Engineering Student

Civil Engineering is an application of planning, designing, constructing, maintaining, and operating infrastructures

while protecting the public and environmental health, as well as improving existing infrastructures that have been

neglected. Civil engineering is one of the oldest engineering disciplines because it deals with constructed environment.

I myself, having to attend to such construction project, was overwhelmed of the things that are done within the site.

I learned that there are things to be considered before actually constructing the plan. Things that is not learned in the

four corners of the classroom. I learned to communicate with other people, to assess situations to achieve efficiency

and avoid wasting time. Lastly, the most important thing to remember is to listen to others opinion. Listening to your

co-workers as well as other engineers. It not only lets you learn but it also shows respect.

In conclusion, being a civil engineering student, it made me realize that civil engineering is very vast because there

are many specialties and considerations in pursuing this profession. Such profession is very respectable and as well

as contains many struggles throughout the journey.

D. STUDENT WEEKLY REFLECTION

(First week report June 25, 27 & 29)

I was oriented by the safety officer during my first duty in office for me to embrace the importance of

understanding the safeness inside the job site. He elaborated as well as explained clearly what safety is all

about and why is it important to apply. He also clarified the do’s and don’ts and the proper attire inside the

active area where the on-going job is made. I’ve started by first duty last Tuesday at 1:00 PM because I have

an errand to do in the morning.

I was given a task to monitor and observe the concrete pouring last Saturday night until Sunday

morning and I found this task a difficult yet beneficial job for me because several of the theoretical designs

and the code based on the NSCP that are being studied in school were applied and used in there. It also

challenged me because I was awake until morning in order to see the process on how concrete pouring was

made. On the same manner, as a new intern in the company of New San Jose Builder’s Inc., I noticed that

the working environment inside the office was pleasurable. The Offices as well as the engineers are all

approachable.

During my first week as an intern in the company, all the task that have been given to me was a bit

interesting. All in all, what I have learned most throughout the first week of my duty is that “safety comes first”.

It was the most important thing that a company must ensure first before proceeding into a job in order to

attain the goal without losing a people or a man power in a group. Also, to have a safe flow of working area.

41
 Student Outcome that have been addressed to me is to understand professional, ethical, legal,

security, and social issues and responsibilities relevant to professional practice. Determine the extent of

possible liabilities of professionals with respect to system development and intellectual creations. As I

mentioned, “safety comes first” which a company must ensure first is the key to the accomplishment of the

project. On the other hand, if there is any occurrence, all the people must take responsibility.

(Second week report July 02 and 04, 2019)

During the second week of my duty as an intern at New San Jose Builder’s Inc., I was given a task

last week to observed and double check the marks on the formwork of a slab along the Zone B-2 of 12th floor

of the building. It was an interesting job for me because as a future Civil Engineer, one of the most important

mechanisms that an engineer must do is to be precise on the measurement of the structure in order to avoid

failures. Using a metro, I easily measure it correctly and as a result I concluded that there are no misplaced

marks along the slabs. On the other hand, the on-going site has its four major divisions or zones namely,

Zone A-1, Zone A-2, Zone B-1, and Zone B-2. Last week as I have mentioned that there was a concrete

pouring during that time, it was on Zone A-2.

I was also given a task to measure and check the formwork of the columns on the 12 th floor of the

building Victoria de Malate. I used plumb bob to measure precisely the dimension of the formwork as well as

to observe if there is something wrong with it, I was ordered to report if there is something on building those

formworks. This is also an important one because if there is an error in building the formwork of a column, it

may collapse when concrete pouring is made.

Student Outcome that have been addressed to me is to understand professional, ethical, legal,

security, and social issues and responsibilities relevant to professional practice. Determine the extent of

possible liabilities of professionals with respect to system development and intellectual creations. Because

every small thing was important in conducting a construction because it is the key for the success of all the

plan and the safeness of the structure.

(Third week report July 09 and 11, 2019)

During my third week of internship, I’ve observed the grouting process conducted at the 9 th floor of

the building and I was surprised because I never seen those process before and that helps me understand

what and how the grouting process has been made. While looking at the procedure, one of my mentors

described what the grouting process is all about and the significance of this process in building of structures.

As what he explained, grouting is a process wherein the mixture of water, cement and sand is used to fill

gaps and voids or used as a reinforcement in the current structure. As I observed the process, it takes time

to complete the procedure.

In the same week, I was given a duty to check and make a site inspection on the floor which already

been finished on concrete pouring in each column.

Student Outcome that have been addressed to me is to understand professional, ethical, legal,

security, and social issues and responsibilities relevant to professional practice. Determine the extent of

possible liabilities of professionals with respect to system development and intellectual creations. To avoid

failure in the design and building a structure, one of the process is to have a grouting in order to fill a specific

tube and avoid swaying completely.

(Fourth week report July 16 and 18, 2019)

My fourth week of internship in New San Jose Builder’s, Inc. was a bit tough because of the task that

had been assigned to me. Last Tuesday, I took a perspective of the building which includes the front, left,

right, and rear view of it. It was a bit tough for me because I wasn’t familiar to the place outside the building

but I was given an instruction and that makes me complete my task. On the same day, I also went up to the

site to inspect and observe the on-going works there. Other activities have gone well on that week and it

makes me learn new things.

In the same week, I was given a duty to check and make a site inspection on the floor which have

been done.

Student Outcome that have been addressed to me is to understand professional, ethical, legal,

security, and social issues and responsibilities relevant to professional practice. Determine the extent of

possible liabilities of professionals with respect to system development and intellectual creations. The task

that have been assigned to me to took a perspective of the building is one of the basic concepts to know if

the works inside and outside the site have gone well and check the updates on the floors that have been

completed.

(Fifth week report July 23, 25 and 27, 2019)

The fifth week of my internship in New San Jose Builder’s, Inc. was a challenging one because of

the task that have been assigned to me. One of the tasks is to encode some of the important component in

building a structure, to be able to monitor and organize everything. This helps me familiarize and to explore

more commands in an excel application which is one of the needed applications for our design project this

semester.

In the same week, I was also given a duty to check and make a site inspection in an area that had

been already finished. On the same manner, I have been tried to use the theodolite as one of the important

apparatus in measuring the precise height and (latag) of slab as well as beams and columns. That task was

a bit easy yet a challenging one because I’ve already done my surveying course which is also one of our

major courses in Civil Engineering yet a challenging because the type of theodolite that have been used at

the site was different, so in order to manipulate it correctly, a surveyor guided me throughout of it.

Student Outcome that have been addressed to me is to understand professional, ethical, legal,

security, and social issues and responsibilities relevant to professional practice. Determine the extent of

possible liabilities of professionals with respect to system development and intellectual creations. Surveying

is one of the major components in Civil Engineering course which helps us locate and measure a precise

distance of a structure.

(Sixth week report July 30 and August 01, 2019)

During my sixth week, I’ve encountered several things that are not familiar to me which taught me a

lot as an intern. Last week, I’ve been educated with the correct splicing of rebars in beams which are located

at the midspan of the top bars. I was also asked to do some encoding matters inside the office for the records

of daily materials that have been used in the construction.

(Seventh week report August 06, 09 and 10)

During this week, I was given a task to monitor and observe the concrete pouring last Tuesday night

until Wednesday morning then I log out at exactly 6:15 am in order to attend into my first class on the same

day. That was my second time to attend a concrete pouring and at the same time, I found that task a difficult

yet beneficial job for me because several of the theoretical designs and the code based on the NSCP 2015

that are being studied in school were applied and used in there. On the same manner, as an intern in the

company of New San Jose Builder’s Inc., I noticed that the working environment inside the office was
