CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE SIWES PROGRAMME


The student industrial work experience scheme (SIWES) was initiated by the industrial
training fund (ITF) in the year 1973. The Program was to update practical knowledge of
students in the universities, polytechnics, and colleges of technology. It was aimed at
bridging the gap between the theoretical knowledge acquired in the classroom and the
technical knowledge in the industries by providing students with the opportunities to apply
their educational knowledge in real work.
Before the establishment of the scheme, there was a growing concern among industries
that graduates of institutions of higher learning lacks adequate practical background studies
preparatory for employment industries. Thus, the employers were of the opinion that the
theoretical education going on higher institutions was not responsive to the needs of
employers of labour.
The ITF solely founded the scheme in its formative years. But as the financial
involvement became unbearable to the fund, it withdrew from the scheme in 1978. The
federal government handed over the scheme to both National Universities Commission
(NUC) and National Board for Technical Education (NBTE) in 1979. Later, the federal
government in November 1984 reverted the management and implementation of the scheme
to ITF and it was effectively taken over by industrial training fund (ITF) in July 1985 with
the funding being borne by the federal government.

1.2 Beneficiaries

The beneficiaries of SIWES include undergraduate student studying either science or art courses
in the tertiary institution. The courses include Engineering, Agriculture, Technology,
Environmental, Science and Education Etc.

1.3 Duration

The duration of SIWES for universities is six months while for polytechnics and college of
education is four months.


1.4 General Objective of SIWES

It is established to facilitate the full realization and mandatory skills acquisition and
proper training programs designed to expose students to the industrial workplace environment in
their respective disciplines during their course of study. The students are expected to develop
occupational competence that would facilitate their fitting into the world of work after
graduation.

Therefore, SIWES is a key factor required to inject and engender industrialization and
economic development in our nation through the induction of scientific and technological skills
on students

MISSION:

To set and regulate training standards and offer direct training intervention in industrial and
commercial skills training and development uses a corps of highly competent professional staff,
modern techniques and technology.

SIWES is operated as a joint through the contributory activities of following stakeholders:

 The Federal Government (FG): The Federal Government funds the scheme through the
help of Federal Ministry of Commerce and industry (FMC&I)
 The Industrial Training Fund (ITF): This is one of the Federal Ministry of Commerce
and Industrial parastatals who are responsible for the overall management of the scheme
in collaboration with other stakeholders.
 The Regulatory/Supervising Agencies: These agencies regulates the tertiary institution
on behalf of the Federal Government to ensure the guidelines of the operation of SIWES
are followed by all institution. Examples of such are National University Commission
(NUC) and National Based for Technical Education (NBTE).
 The Employers: These include members of the Organized Private Sectors (OPS) and
Government Establishments who provide places of Industrial Attachments for SIWES
participants.
 Tertiary Institutions: There include Colleges of Education Polytechnics and
Universities who are primarily beneficiaries of SIWES. Their central role is to ensure
successful implementation of SIWES is apparent.
 The Students: Students are direct beneficiaries of SIWES since they are the recipients
for the training provided through this scheme. The role of students is to give a full
participation in this program so as to acquire relevant production skills before graduation.

WORK DONE

3.1 TOOLS USED IN THE WORKSHOP

A. SPANNER AND WRENCHE: These tools are many used in losing and tighten bolt and nut
in a machine and it have different size depending on the bolt to be used for.

B. PLIERS: This is manly used in cutting heavy cable and also pilling off wire.

C.PIN PLIER: This is mainly used in fixing clip which prevent shaft from moving away to it’s
original position.

D.HDRAULIC JACK: Hydraulic jack are mechanical device use to apply great force with a
little effort. Although not every car job will require you to lift the car up, there are many cases
where doing so will speed up the process. Hydraulic Jacks are lifting tools only and are not
meant to be used to secure the car up. For that purpose, I make sure to always use jack stands.

E. MUTIMETER: The essential tool for electrical diagnosis and troubleshooting is the
multimeter. It will allow you to measure Voltage, Resistance and Amperage. Extremely useful to
check batteries, fuses, work on car audio an absolute must. They range from cheap and
inexpensive to crazy high expensive. It is advice you to buy something of decent quality as you
will give this tool a lot of use.

F. ENGINE CRANES: They are equipment use in the workshops to lift heavy loads. They are
mostly use to remove or install gasoline or diesel engine from the vehicle at repairing process. It
uses heavy cantilever structure to hold the engine in air so that the technician can carefully
connect or disconnect h fragile host on the engine from the frame of the car. At the end of the
boom there is a grab hook where lifting chains, slings or a load leveler can be attached for lifting
purposes. The engine crane is commonly used in combination with the engine stand so that the
removed engine can be rotated in midair to provide access to underside surfaces of the engine.

G. GARAGE CREEPER: The garage creeper is an equipment that makes it easy to move
around with little effort while working under vehicles and also help the workman to look clean
when working. It can be handle by everyone.

H. BATTERY BOSSTER: Battery booster also known as a jump start is a method of starting a
vehicle with a discharge or dead battery. A temporary connection is made to the battery if

6
another vehicle, or to some other external power source. The external supply of electricity
recharges the discharge vehicle’s battery and provides some of the power needed to crank the
engine. Once the vehicle has been started, its normal charging system will recharge, so the
auxiliary source can removed, if the vehicle charging system is functional, normal operation of
the vehicle will restore the charge of the battery.

I. Wheel Alignment Machine : Wheel alignment, sometimes referred to as breaking or tracking,


is part of standard automobile maintenance that consists of adjusting the angles of wheels to the
car manufacturer specifications. The purpose of these adjustments is to reduce tire wear, and to
ensure that vehicle travel is straight and true (without “pulling” to one side). Alignment angles
can also be altered beyond the maker’s specifications to obtain a specific handling characteristic.
Motorsport and off-road applications may call for angles to be adjusted well beyond “normal”,
for a variety of reasons.

3.2 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS THAT WAS OBSERVED DURING WORKDONE

7
1. Eye protection is mandatory for all operations which produce sparks, chips, flying objects or
involve use of corrosive chemicals. Face shields was worn during all operations that involve use
of a high-pressure steam system. Appropriate gloves and protective clothing was also be worn.

2. I did not wear loose clothing around rotating equipment. Clothes saturated with oil, grease, or
solvents was avoided.

3. I ensured that Compressed air was not used for clean clothing.

4.Shop floors was kept free of grease, oil, gasoline, or other slipping hazards.

5.Employees did not use defective electrical or mechanical shop equipment or hand tools. All
automotive shop machinery was grounded.

6. I ensured Vehicles did not towed unless appropriate tow bars or other approved equipment is
used.

7.Jacks, hoists, or other lifting devices was not used beyond the safe load capacity recommended
by the manufacturer. Employees was not in vehicles being lifted by hydraulic lifts or jacks.

8. I did not work under vehicles that are not properly supported with approved stands. Makeshift
stands made of wood, cement blocks, or boxes shall not be used.

9.Gasoline, acetone, kerosene, or similar solvents was not used to clean hands, floors, walls, or
other surfaces. Parts was cleaned only in approved containers using appropriate solvents.

10.Employees did not use standard sanitary sewer drains for the disposal of gasoline, oil, or
solvents.

11.Tanks or containers that are used for gasoline or other flammable solvents was not
mechanically opened or repaired by welding without purging and cleaning.

12.I do not begin tire inflation before the rim is properly seated. It is dangerous to attempt
adjustment with a hammer when the tire is being inflated.

13.I do not place hands or arms between mounted dual tires during inflation. I Always use a long
air chuck for inflation.

14.I do not change tires on the road unless wheel chocks and warning devices are used. Flares
was used to warn others whenever a vehicle tire is changed while on a heavily used road.

15.Changing of tires on split-rim wheels was performed only by individuals with proper training
and using only appropriate equipment.

3.4 SOME COMPONENT PART OF AN ENGINE

The engine of an automobile is consider the most important component of an automobile,


because without this part there will be no movement and the main function of an automobile is to
aid movement from one place to another. An automobile engine is a power house where a lot of
processes occur so as to make the vehicle move. The following are some part of an engine

THE ENGINE BLOCK: The block is usually made of cast iron although some high
performance engines have aluminum blocks, giving less weight and better heat dissipation.
Inside the engine block contain some other components such as the piston, connecting rod and
the crankshaft. The block engine also houses the combustion chamber.

PISTON AND CONNECTING ROD: The piston may have a recessed crown incorporating the
combustion chamber. Or be flat-topped with the combustion chamber in the head. The piston is
attached to the small end of the connecting rod by a gudgeon pin. The other ends of the
connecting rod are attached in turn with the crankshaft by split plan metal bearing known as big
end bearing. Piston & Connecting Rod.

THE CRANK SHAFT: This is made of steel end it revolves in housing supports at the bottom
of the engine block, running in split metal bearing held by removable bearing caps. Bearing,
called main bearing support the crankshaft in the crank case. As the cranks is rotated by the
connecting rod.

FLYWHEEL: This is a heavy disc made of steel with a number of gear teeth called the starting
ring gear around its disk. It is attached to the end of a crankshaft. The primary purpose of a
flywheel is to reduce speed variation to some acceptable value determine by its use. The minor
purpose of a flywheel is to provide for a source of energy when the clutch is engage under load.
The flywheel helps to transmit the engine power and to smoothen out the individual impulse of

9
the piston so that the power flows evenly. The flywheel is fastened to the rear end of the
crankshaft; it is fitted on to a register spigot and bolted to ensure absolute eccentricity.

CYLINDER AND PISTON RINGS: If full use is to be made of the force excited by the
burning charge the piston must be a good sliding fit in the cylinder. To ensure that a good seal is
obtained springs piston rings are fitted into grooves in the piston. Compressor rings at the top of
the piston prevent the gases escaping. Sometimes a single oil control or scraper ring is fitted to
regulate the oil supply to the upper part of the cylinder. Cylinder Head.

ENGINE VALVES: Valves open and close at pre-determine time, which vary with different
design of engine. They control the entry of the mixture and allow the exhaust gases to escape, the
valves used in motor vehicles engines are called topped or mushroom valves and there are
several method of positioning and operating them.

THE CAMSHAFT: The camshaft usually has a number of cams machined along its length: two
cams for each cylinder: one to operate the inlet valve, and the other. The camshaft rotates in its
own bearing and very often has a skew gear machined at some suitable point to drive the
distributor and or the oil pump.

ENGINE VALVES: Valves open and close at pre-determine time, which vary with different
design of engine. They control the entry of the mixture and allow the exhaust gases to escape, the
valves used in motor vehicles. Engines are called topped or mushroom valves and there are
several method of positioning and operating them.

FIRING ORDERS: The firing order together with suitable valve timing is design to obtain the
best engine performance. A firing order of 1-2-3-4 would result in the gradual winding up of the
tensional stress from one end of the crankshaft to the other, and would lead to crankshaft metal
failure at the same time the man folding of the mixture together with the positioning of the
carburetor would be critical because it could lead to uneven mixture distribution. In order to
overcome these undesirable attributes the firing order is arranged as 1-3-4-2 or 1-2-4-3 for four
cylinder engines and for six cylinders engine it is 1-5-3-6-2-4 3.

3.4 ACTIVITY OF QUALITY CONTROL ASSURANCE IN THE COMPANY

The activities of quality control are undertaken by the supervisors and some of the senior
staff in the company. It involves testing of the cars after service to make sure that everything is

10
well in place. It main purpose it’s to ensure that the best is giving to their customers. The testing
might be done by using an equipment i.e the onboard diagnose 2 (ODB2) or by mainly driving
the car through some distance.

3.5 MAINTAINANCE POLICY

This is a method use to maintain the working condition of machinery, equipment, and
tools at the optimum level so as to give maximum output. All tool, equipment and vehicle must
be properly maintained so that workers are not endangered. Preventive maintenance is the
systematic care and protection of tools, equipment, and machines before use. We must always be
aware that maintenance itself are potentially hazardous and can result to injury

3.6 MATERIAL PROCUREMENT

Material procurement is one of the activities of the supervisor of account and finance in
the company, its starts from purchase of goods from the vendors to the final usage of the goods
or parts. The process is used to ensure the buyer receives goods, services or works at the best
possible price, when aspects such as quality, quantity, time, and location are compared. Almost
all purchasing decisions include factors such as delivery and handling, marginal benefit, and
price fluctuations. Procurement generally involves making buying decisions under conditions of
scarcity. If good data is available, it is good practice to make use of economic analysis methods
such as cost-benefit analysis or cost-utility analysis.

3.7 PROBLEM ENCOUNTERED


1) The attachment Students find it difficult to secure an appointment from any organization. At
times most students even go to where they never wanted instead of staying at home.

2) The attitude of some company staffs towards IT students is something that can never be
overemphasized, as some staffs go as far as seeing the IT students as messengers (errand boys or
girls) instead of teaching and inculcating their professional experience on the students.

3) It is suggested that some form of allowance should be given to the student as form of
encouragement and also to assist their cost of living, basically feeding and transportation
especially in areas of student far from the neighborhood.

4) I was not allowed to test a car after service or repair. And also I was not taking to outside job
which restrict me to the workshop.

SUMMARY, RECOMMENDATION, CONCLUSION

4.1 SUMMARY

My six months industrial attachment as a trainee at Emmanuel Automobile was a huge success
and a great time of acquisition of knowledge and skills. This is because I had the opportunity to
blend the theoretical knowledge acquired from school with the practical hands-on application of
knowledge gained here to perform very important tasks that contributed in a way to my
productivity in the company. My training here has given me a broader view to the importance
and relevance of Mechatronics Engineers in the immediate society and the world as a whole, as I
now look forward to impacting it positively after graduation. I have also been able to improve
my communication and presentation skills and thereby developed good relationship with my
fellow colleagues at work. I have also been able to appreciate the connection between my course
of study and other disciplines in producing a successful result.

4.2 RECOMMENDATION

I use this means to make the following recommendations concerning the training of students in
Industrial Attachments. Allowances should be paid to students during their programme just like
NYSC and not after. This would help them a great deal to handle some financial problems during
their training course.

4.3 CONCLUSION

This report has been able to detail an account of the entire work – experience gotten by me
during my SIWES program at Emmanuel Automobile Repair which is a core scheme in ITF and
which is saddled with the responsibility of strengthening the effective teaching and learning of
skill based course such as mechatronics. The exposure, practical skills and knowledge gained has
been of great advantage to me. It is indeed an eye opener for every student that has indeed
participated in the program, it makes student think deeply on the experience gained while in
school and without having to display their curriculum vitae in search of white-collar jobs again.
It empowers youth to a great extent because there will not be any reason for idleness and the
applications of the theoretical knowledge learnt in these various establishments are invaluable
assets to the participant of the scheme.
