Final Assessment
Our course is entitled CE Practicum 1, also known as On-the-job training in which we are required to complete 80 hours of training on the project site and attend for at least 15 times in one term. And no single visit on the site to exceed for 6 hours. Our first goal is to find on-going project sites that must be at least 10 storeys high and in the superstructure stage of construction. The project should also still be on-going for at least the next six months since we will undergo another 80 hours of practicum at the same site under CE Practicum 2.
The purpose of this course is to be able to learn and experience engineering job on the actual construction site. The week after our adviser orient us with the OJT, we immediately started to scout project sites near the school. We divided our group and find sites/companies from different place here in Manila that would allow us to have an ojt from their projects. We found several companies like Makati Development Corporation (MDC), Millenium Erectors Corporation (MEC), EEI, DMCI Homes and Megawide Construction Corporation (MCC). From these companies we come up with the decision to have an ojt in MCC since the other companies, their project are too far from the school and that would really cost us and some companies, the process of their application are long and that would waste our time, but in MCC they immediately accept us and we choose our own schedule of having an ojt. Just one disadvantage is that they do not give salaries to job trainees. The company places our group to the project namely “The Linear Makati”. A brief description of the project is that it is a master-planned residential and commercial hub; it has two towers each in L-shaped form, each 24-storey high, comprise this dynamic community that perfectly caters to the needs of this generation’s young urban professionals. It was developed by Filinvest, one of the country’s leading property developers today.
