ON-THE-JOB TRAINING EXECUTIVE SUMMARY REPORT
SUMMER 2013

Name: Elper James G. Mangadlao

Course & Year: BSCE - 5
Company: Xavier University Engineering Resource Center (XU-ERC)
What I did in the training:
Our first work in this OB-OJT was the inspection of the houses located in Xavier
EcoVille. In EcoVille, we did inspections about structural concerns in their houses so that
residents can address their complains and comments about their houses there. Since we have the
knowledge about those concerns, I was able to answer questions regarding their house. Some of
those concerns were not so big that they have to ask for the in-charge of the EcoVille, thats why I
was able to answer some of those and also, I told them some tips so that they can overcome some
concerns about their house.
Next was the Global Positioning System (GPS) trainings we did in Claveria, Misamis
Oriental. We thought some residents how to use the GPS so that they would be able to identify
the exact parameters and boundaries of their farmlands. I was glad that most of them understood
the training in a short period of time. Then we went into the farmlands of some residents there,
they showed us their farmland boundaries and later we located those using GPS.
We also helped the PNP plot a map for crimes that happened during the year 2012 so that
it would be easier for them to identify the common areas of crimes in Cagayan de Oro City. PNP
gave us data and we plotted their data in a (Geographic Information System) GIS software so that
we would be able to present to them a map showing the crimes happened last year. We also did it
by month so that the would be able to assess the crimes happened each month.
What I learned from the training:
In a semester of OB OJT, first of all I learned a lot in terms of enhancing my skills for my
future profession. I think the most important thing that I learned, aside from the technical works
of a civil engineering student, I learned how to interact with different people, different community
and different personalities. EcoVille and Claveria works were more on interactions. And I consider
it the most important because in real life, lets say at work, an engineer deals with people, not just
equations and solutions for problems and buildings and interaction and relationships among coworkers is very important. In technicality, I learned stuffs like how to deal a moist wall during
rain, etc. The use of GPS which I didnt understood when I was in 3 rd year, now I undertand how
to use it. Also the use of GIS mapping, using ArcGIS is also very helpful. Overall, I found this
OB-OJT very good for us graduating civil engineering students.
