1.4 Trainee’s Area of Concern
Principles and objectives of office projects pertaining to
Agricultural and Biosystems Engineering comprise the trainee's
primary focus. In addition to overseeing the implementation of
performance evaluations to ascertain the merits and demerits of the
current CReATe systems and projects, the responsibility entails
administering and evaluating the general quality of work summaries.
2. INDUSTRY PROFILE
2.1 Industry Background
In the field of agricultural and biosystems engineering research
and development, CReATe serves as a center for research and
development. In addition, the center offers training and consulting
services in the fields of engineering and technology for land and water
resources, agricultural bioprocessing, and rice machinery operations
NCII.
Engr. Aljon E. Bococbo is currently in charge of the center's
operations and administration. The head of the center is a graduate of
Caraga State University, where he earned a Bachelor of Science degree
in Agricultural Engineering as well as a Master of Science degree in
Environmental Science and Management.

The Center for Resource Assessment, Analytics, and Emerging
Technologies (CReATe) is a cutting edge study center whose goal is to
use the Caraga Region's rich resources and agricultural landscapes for
combined research and development. CReATe wants to build a base for
S&T-based resource management and sustainability by focusing on
Agricultural Engineering, High-Performance Computing, and other new
technologies.
3. TRAINING MANAGEMENT
3.1 Introduction
Starting an internship in Agricultural and Biosystems Engineering
at the Center for Resource Assessment, Analytics, and Emerging
Technologies (CReATe) offers a unique chance to explore the
intersection of advanced technology and sustainable resource
management in the dynamic Caraga Region. The internship program is
thoughtfully crafted to provide hands-on experiences in Agricultural
Engineering, High-Performance Computing, and emerging
technologies, creating a comprehensive learning environment.
The research facility is equipped with cutting-edge technologies,
providing interns with an optimal setting to enhance their skills in data
analytics, resource assessment, and implementing developing
technologies in agriculture.
11
Joining this internship at CReATe provides hands-on experience
and introduces you to a forward-thinking community dedicated to
advancing research and technology. Interns actively engage in
practical projects, collaborate with experienced professionals, and
access extensive datasets. This positions them to make meaningful
contributions at the crossroads of technology and agriculture,
ultimately contributing to a sustainable and technologically advanced
future.
3.2 Narration of Experience
It was not our first choice to be here, but the learnings we have
gained have helped us personal growth. Experiencing various tasks
underscored the importance of learning by doing, enhancing my
comprehensive understanding of the subject. Active participation in
collaborative projects allowed me to make effective contributions.
3.2.1 Freshmen Orientation Preparation
Our first tasked was to make preparation for the orientation for
freshmen last August 15, 2023 held at the Hinang Auditorium.
12
3.2.2 Hinang 109 Laboratory Room Clean-up
Hinang 109 Laboratory room was our temporary office from
August 23, 2023 to September 8, 2023.
3.2.3 CReATe Assignment
We were officially assigned to CReATe office last September 11,
2023.
13
3.2.4 Inquiring for Calibration Center and Calibration Fees
This task was difficult for me, because we were instructed that we
must inquire calibration center that must be within Philippines only, as
well as its calibration fees.
3.3 Problems Encountered and Proposed Solutions
Having problems during internship, I believe is normal. I feel
anxious if instructors from DABE Faculty or Sir Bocobo from CReATe
asked for favor, I’m scared if I remember the instructions clearly or
not, but so far, so good.
3.4 CONCLUSIONS
In conclusion, ABE program is not simple. After you graduate, you
will feel doubts if you’re in the right path. During my training, I have
realized that there will be more opportunities that awaits you. I
remember Engr. Bocobo told us to give ourselves chance to take the
board exam after graduating, because we opened up to him that after
graduating, we’re planning to go abroad. This training pushed me over
to have that Engr. before my name.
14
3.5 RECOMMENDATIONS
Upon reflecting on my on-the-job training, I have identified key
insights that could optimize future training programs. Diversifying
exposure across varied work environments by offering rotations among
different departments could significantly enrich trainee’s skills and
perspectives. Additionally, integrating more hands-on, practical
learning alongside theoretical knowledge would be invaluable. These
measures provide unique guidance and insights, contributing to a more
comprehensive development of AB engineers beyond traditional
classroom teachings.
