I would like to the people at F.Tech R&D for accepting me as an intern and
giving me the opportunity to learn new things throughout the Engineering world.
Another thanks is given to my professor, Engineer Pacis, for his unwavering support on
my OJT class and being able to answer any questions that I have. Lastly, I wanted to
thank my wife, Alyssa Lizardo, and son, Eleandre Lizardo, for being my inspiration to
push through every day.
The technical training that was provided for the trainee is focused on testing,
analysing, and designing using CATIA software which is a useful tool when creating
powerlines, powerplants, towers, and the so on; also, the trainee assisted the
Engineering and Admin office of the company. Whereas non-technical training that was
learned by the trainee are mostly: filing of papers and encoding on Excel. The training is
supervised by Engineer Balbar and Engineer Esperida for the design group and Engineer
Doblon and Engineer Andrada for the testing/analysis group. Finally, the documentation
has samples of work done using the CATIA software and a few other reports.

ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE
Design
Analysis
Test
For the first part, which is the testing/analysis part, the intern is tasked to
learn proper set-up of equipment and test the materials needed (i.e. clutch or
brakes). The use of the software DEWEsoft is applied to test the data gathered
from the tests.
For the second and last part, which is the designing part, the intern is
tasked with a lot of exercise to familiarize himself on the CATIA software which is
primarily used for designing surfaces, parts, and the like.

NARRATIVE REPORT
TECHNICAL LEARNING
The first part is the testing/analysis part, where I get to set-up equipment
needed for the testing. There are a lot of tests done on a pedal (i.e. switch
installation strength test or switch connector installation strength) and it requires
specific set-ups for each one. After setting up, we use the software called
DEWEsoft which is used to acquire high-end data and will provide for us the total
test measurements with little to no discrepancy.
The second part is the design part which taught me how to use the
software CATIA which is responsible for most of the designs on automobiles. I
learned how to make a solution to shape design, styling, surface workflow and
visualize my creation. This software supports multiple stages of product design
whether started from scratch or from 2D sketches (blueprints). This is a very
helpful tool since I specialize in the Petroleum Refining Technology and I will
handle or maybe create powerplant specifications or tower structures and the
like.
NON-TECHNICAL LEARNING
For the non-technical aspect of the job, it is mostly executing word files,
filing documents, and a little bit about Excel encoding.
