INTRODUCTION
On-the-Job Training(OJT) plays a pivotal role in the academic formation of
engineering students, serving as a bridge between theoretical knowledge acquired
in the classroom and its practical implementation in real-world settings.It provides
students with the opportunity to apply learned concepts in a professional
environment, thereby enhancing their technical abilities and preparing them for
the demands of the industry. The primary aim of the internship is to expose
students to actual field operations,strengthen their competencies,and foster
readiness for future professional responsibilities.In addition to technical
development,OJT also cultivates essential soft skills, contributing to a well-rounded
understanding of the engineering discipline.
The internship at DPWH Cam. Sur 5th DEO offered a valuable immersion into
the practices of engineering, architecture, and construction. While the firm is
primarily focused on architectural design and building execution, the training
remained relevant to the engineering curriculum. Interns were engaged in a
variety of tasks, including site evaluations, basic structural assessments, project
coordination, and collaborative work with professionals from different disciplines.
This exposure to cross-functional workflows enriched the interns’ appreciation of
the interconnected nature of construction-related professions.
Entering the internship brought a mix of anticipation and uncertainty,as
participants faced the challenge of translating academic learning into actual
practice. Despite limited prior experience,the theoretical foundation provided by
EffectivityDate:June2022 Rev.1 Page8of79
academic coursework,coupled with a strong eagerness to learn, allowed interns to
navigate the professional setting effectively. In the end, the OJT experience proved
to be more than a curricular requirement—it became a
EffectivityDate:June2022 Rev.1 Page9of79
Significant a venue for professional development,self-evaluation,and the nurturing
of discipline, adaptability, and a commitment to lifelong learning, all of which are
essential attributes in the engineering profession.
BACKGROUND
The development of the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) into its present
structure underwent a long process of evolution spanning a century of colorful and significant
events in laying the groundwork for the physical foundation of the country.
The Department is considered as old as the Philippine government, its existence dates back to
about four (4) centuries at the time of the Spanish colonial era. It emerged from its embryonic
form in 1565 when the first settlement roads were constructed by forced labor. Fortresses then
were connected by improved trails as supply lines and means of communications. As Spain
was in its expansion program in the islands, it resorted to a policy of attraction by way of public
works construction. In order to pursue their objective, the King of Spain designated the
Spanish Governor General in the country as Chief of Public Works assisted by “Junta
Consultiva” through a Royal Degree in 1867.
It was in 1868 when the Bureau of Public Works and Highways (Obras Publicas) and Bureau
of Communications and Transportation (Communicationes y Meteologia) were organized
under a civil engineer known as “Director General”.
Since then, the Department underwent various stages of development and evolution that
largely depended upon the change in government shift of administration policies, and
reorganization in its structure and responsibilities to suit the demands of times.
Finally after a long process of evolution by virtue of Executive Order No. 124, dated January
30, 1987, the agency is now known as the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH)
EffectivityDate:June2022 Rev.1 Page10of79
with five (5) bureaus, six (6) services, sixteen (16 regional offices, twenty-four (24) project
management offices sixteen (16) regional equipment services and one-hundred eighteen (118)
district engineering offices.
VISION
By 2030, DPWH is an effective and efficient government agency, improving the life of
every Filipino through quality infrastructure.
MISSION
To provide and manage quality infrastructure facilities and services responsive to the
needs of the Filipino people in the pursuit of national development objectives.

ON-THE-JOB-TRAINING PROGRAM
Company Internship Placement Details
My On-the-Job Training was conducted at DPWH Cam. Sur 5th DEO, a
government company engaged in high way works, project construction, and
planning services. The internship program is designed to expose student-trainees
to real-world practices and workflows within the architectural and construction
industry.The program provides hands-on experience in various project stages from
initial design to site implementation under the guidance of licensed professionals.
An orientation was conducted on the first day of my internship at the

maintaining a project's timeline and integrity. I also gained
practical experience by monitoring concrete mix ratios to
ensure adherence to specified standards.These combined tasks
were invaluable for understanding how technical
documentation and quality control are foundational to project
success.
b. One skill I continually emphasized through out my internship is the
importance of observation.By closely monitoring materials and
activities
on-site, I learned to estimate the quantities of cement, sand,
and aggregates required for various elements like beams, tie
beams, columns, and slabs. Understanding the material
requirements and being able to adjust them based on real-time
observations helped me develop
a strong sense of how construction works beyond the drawing
board.
c.A significant part of my role involved monitoring cement
proportions to ensure they met all required quality
specifications. This included performing daily checks on
materials and verifying the accuracy of initial material
estimations. I actively helped identify discrepancies in material
proportions and contributed to making necessary
adjustments,ensuring
the mixture adhered to all safety and performance standards.
d.The internship provided a valuable opportunity to bridge the gap
between academic theory and practical application. I was able
to apply fundamental engineering principles by monitoring
precise material proportions, interpreting technical plans, and
EffectivityDate:June2022 Rev.1 Page43of79
performing on-site quality assurance.This experience was
crucial for reinforcing my understanding of how classroom
learning is directly translated into tangible engineering
work.
III. Challenges and Solutions
a.Like any real-world experience, my internship came with
challenges. I encountered technical issues,such as incorrect
stirrup spacing in beams and columns, and frequent equipment
breakdowns that caused delays. Managing material inventory
and cement mix ratios was also difficult during peaks it e
activity.Miscommunication between staff occasionally
led to confusion.However,with the help of our supervising
engineers and
apprentice, I addressed issues early through team work and clear
communication.
b. I worked closely with the site engineer to implement necessary
corrections. Equipment issues were managed through regular
maintenance and backup plans to avoid delays.To improve
organization, I set a consistent inventory-checking routine and
coordinated with workers to monitor material use and cement
ratios.The fore man resolved conflicts through clear
communication and task clarification. With guidance from our
supervising engineers ,I learned from these challenges and
improved my on-site performance.
c.The challenges I faced taught me to stay calm under pressure
and highlighted the value of teamwork,communication,and
attention to detail in solving site issues. These experiences
EffectivityDate:June2022 Rev.1 Page44of79
gave me practical insights into real construction
problems,equipping me with knowledge beyond the
classroom.
IV. Insights and Personal Reflection
a.This internship helped me grow both professionally and
personally. With support from the team and our supervising
architect, I learned to handle pressure, became more
responsible, and strengthened my work ethic. Experiencing
real construction work boosted my confidence and
deepened my understanding of applied engineering.
