Abstract— This study determined the level of academic performance and OJT performance based on the assessment of immediate superiors of 233 engineering student-trainees from Lyceum of the Philippines University (LPU) in Batangas City. This research utilized the quantitative descriptive as well as qualitative methods of research and data were collected using documentary analysis of computed grades and comments from the employers. LPU Engineering students as observed by their immediate superiors were courteous, honest, have good moral character, with self-efficacy, good in oral communication, patient and positive thinkers. Mechanical engineering students who performed well in their assigned task during their OJTs also obtained notable ratings in general and professional education courses. It is contrary to the finding that the performance of Industrial Engineering students who obtained higher academic ratings have lower job performance. The researcher formulated an Internship manual that would serve as a guide for the training of the students in the four engineering programs of LPU.

Index Terms— Academic performance, engineering, internship, on-the-job training.
