third year. The objective is to allow the students to<br />
have opportunities to experience actual working<br />
conditions other than what learned in the classrooms and<br />
laboratories. Students must submit a report at the end<br />
<strong>of</strong> the training period, Satisfactory (S) or unsatisfactory<br />
(U) grade will be given based on student’s performance,<br />
quality <strong>of</strong> the report and supervisor’s comments.<br />
