SUMMARY
The City Government of General Trias is a
government establishment tasked with the
administration of the municipality of General
Trias. The Engineering Office, part of the
company, is responsible for the approval of
plans, issuance of several permits, handling
bids, inspection of projects, and numerous
other tasks. My hours spent at the office has
taught me that certain aspects of the job
require meticulous attention to detail, since
a simple mistake would lead to the
revocation of the engineer's license, while
other tasks such as estimation has shown
me that such figures are extremely rough,
since it assumes that wasted material
cannot be used. Site inspections have
revealed small areas of work that are lax
with the regulations, at the same time I
have observed an air of professionalism
from most of the workers at the site, as their
appearance
might
have
suggested
otherwise. It was interesting and rather
gratifying to see up close the inner workings
of a structure, to be able to pick out
components only seen during Computer
Assisted Drafting beforehand. Drafting on
INTRODUCTION
My On-the-Job-Training had taken place at
the City Government of General Trias Cavite,
where I was assigned to the Engineering
Department's Office, for the stated period of
two hundred fifty (250) hours. The learning
goals, as stated in the Learning Plan and
Evaluation, are the Improvement of
Efficiency in the operation of AutoCAD, the
Estimation of Project Costs, and the
Observation
of
Site
Management
&
Operations. The strategies involved for the
first goal was identifying the relevant
keystrokes and shortcuts to actions within
the
program.
The
second
involved
determining all possible components of the
project before attempting to formulate a
solution, as a single missed detail would
make a reiteration necessary. For the third
and final goal, it requires a keen eye and an
attentive mind, for one has to relate the
INTERNSHIP ACTIVITIES
Over the course of 250 hours, numerous
tasks have been assigned to me, a lot of
which were relevant to the field of Civil
Engineering, while the rest were small,
easily accomplishable tasks. The most
prominent one was drafting using AutoCAD,
of which two projects, a four storey twenty
classroom school and a bridge, were the
subjects for creation of a soft-copy.
Developing the sheets for these two projects
took up most of the hours at the office.
Estimating project costs was the second
most common activity, which required the
person handling said activity to determine
