CHAPTER ONE
Introduction
Field attachment is an important component of a student’s studies in the University.
It involves the student being attached to an institution that provides an opportunity to
apply the skills and knowledge achieved during the course of study in the industrial
environment and to acquire new skills in computing and carrying out the jobs
assigned. It is also an opportunity to improve social, communication and technical
skills needed for working and a chance to keep abreast with the dynamic changing
industry, as well as introducing him to the real working conditions and situations he
expects to encounter after graduating.

The purpose of this report is to explain what I did and learned during attachment
period at Mount Kenya University. This report is also a requirement for the partial
fulfillment of Mount Kenya University Diploma program. The report primarily
focuses on the assignments handled, working environment, successes and short
comings that I encounter when handling various tasks assigned by supervisor.

It is also imperative that recommendations and suggestions be given reflecting on the

shortcomings, successes, observation and comments.
The attachment was carried out starting from 25th May 2015 up to the 25th July 2015
and it was done at Mount Kenya University Main Campus.

1.1. Mount Kenya University

Mount Kenya University (MKU) is a private, Chartered university operating in

Eastern Africa. It has its Main Campus in Thika, an industrial-cum-agricultural town
45 kilometers north east of Kenya's capital Nairobi.
It was registered in 2008, following the granting of a Letter of Interim Authority by
the then Commission for Higher Education, now known as Commission for
University Education. In January, 2011, Mount Kenya University was granted a
Charter by then President of the Republic of Kenya His Excellency Mwai Kibaki,
making it the first Chartered university in Kenya with no ownership affiliation to the
State, Church or Professional Organization'.

Motto: Scaling the Heights of Education

Type: Private University
Academic staff: 4,000
Students: 50,000
Location: Thika, Kiambu County, Kenya
Website: www.mku.ac.ke
1.2. History of Mount Kenya university

The idea behind the establishment of the University dates back to 1996 when the
precursor of the University, the Thika Institute of Technology was founded as a
Computer Outreach Program. At this point in time in Kenyan history, the
development of Information Communication Technology (ICT) both Mobile
Telephony and Computer Technology had started gaining an upward momentum in
rural and urban centers.

In 2000, the Institute developed into a commercial college offering management and
computer training programs. Later in the year the Ministry of Education, Science and
Technology recognized the institute as a full-fledged institution of higher learning and
granted it a full registration approval. In order to remain relevant with the training
needs of the society, the institute initiated training programs in the fields of
paramedics, Information Technology, and Business and Entrepreneurship education in
the year 2002.

In 2005 the Institute became the 1st private institution in Kenya to be allowed to
train pharmaceutical technologists by the Pharmacy and Poisons Board of the
Ministry of Health.

In 2006 the Commission for Higher Education (CHE) validated and approved the
institute's request for collaboration with JKUAT to offer both Diploma and Degree
programs. The Institute continued to work closely with the Commission for Higher
Education in line with the stipulated guidelines for establishing a privately funded
university. After fulfilling all the requirements, the Commission for Higher Education
issued MKU with the authority to establish a full-fledged privately funded university
with Thika Institute of Technology as its precursor/forerunner. [Citation needed]

ATTACHMENT DEPARTMENT
I was attached in the Maintenance Department of Mount Kenya University.
The Mount Kenya University maintenance department is one of the most important department that
every institution or industry should have. Without the maintenance department any industry or
institution like Mount Kenya University can run well due to many faults, errors or damages that
may take place. That is the reason as to why every industry or institution must have a maintenance
department.

2.1. Key functions/ activities of the department.

The Mount Kenya University maintenance department has the following key functions or activities;

i. It makes sure that the best maintenance services are carried out offered to all the other
departments of the institution. This helps to enable the easy follow of the operations that
are carried out in the institution.
ii. It also makes sure that all the equipment, electrical, electronic and mechanical devices or
systems are taken well care of and that they are in good working conditions and are
always available for use or operation.
iii. The maintenance department further more ensures that there is proper power supply and
lighting provided in the institution. It corrects any faults in the power supply and lighting
systems of the institution and makes any other possible changes that may improve the
systems’ operations.
iv. Finally, but most important is that the maintenance department ensures the safety of all staff,
student and any other persons in the institution. It makes sure that as these people continue
to use the various facilities of the institution, their safety is guaranteed.

2.4. WORK DONE DURING THE ATTACHMENT

This sub-chapter covers all the training and experiences that I gained during the attachment. The
first week at the department of maintenance I began by going through the set guidelines and rules. I
was also given a preview of what was expected of me during the attachment period and also the
expected working hours that is arrival time and time to leave. After a brief orientation at the
department, I was assigned my first task which was to check and inspect and if any damage or fault
replace and repair all lighting system (lamps bulbs/tubes and switches) and the power supply
system (sockets and Consumer unit) at the staff cafeteria on the 25th July 2015.

2.4.1. Maintenance record keeping

Every morning when I arrive at the office, I first check in and then my first task for each day was
to go round the University ground, offices, hostels, villas, swimming pool, cafeteria, classrooms,
laboratories, control rooms, and the library and I would take a record of all the damages and faults
in; 1. Lighting system.
1. Power supply system
2. Water pump and control units for the fountains and swimming pool
3. Faults, damages and errors in all electrical and electronic devices and equipment
The record is important for maintenance measures and also a record of who is assigned which
machine and eases the maintenance process. That week I was able to able to produce a record list of
the maintenance that needed to be done and what we would require to carry out the maintenance
process.

2.4.2. Repairing printers

With the help of my supervisor I was able to repair several printers that were not working because
their power supply had faults. After that this, my supervisor embarked on training me on
installations and wiring for power supply and lighting systems.

2.4.3. Making conduit layout in new building

I also participated in the laying out of a wiring scheme for lighting and power supply in a new
building that was undergoing construction. I and the other workers cut holes in walls for fixing the
conduits, junction boxes and lamp holders. We did this following the wiring or installation
scheme that had been designed by the architect.
Fig (2.4.3.) Conduits layout diagram

2.4.4. Repairing hand dryers for the washrooms

With the help of my supervisor I was able to repair a number hand dryer which were not working
and here I acquired new skills. The hand dryers had broken parts in the relay contacts, the power
supply had broken wires and the motor was not operating well due to accumulation of dust. I first
replaced the broken relay parts, reconnected the broken wires of the power supply section and then
used a blower to remove the dust from the motor and wiped off the surfaces to remove any other
dust from the motor and other parts of the hand dryers. This enable the hand dryers to work again
well after I had finished repairing them.

2.4.5. Installation and wiring of lighting systems and power supply (power sockets)
and consumer units and meter connection
Under this I did wiring to provide security lights at different locations within the institution
especially its dark and risky at night and also wherever proper lighting was also require. Such
places included behind buildings, gates, the generator room which was dark and not lit. I also did
reconnection of consumer units and meters especially at the staff quarters of the institution.
Fig (2.4.5.) Wiring for security lamps

2.4.6. Installing different types of switches and switching techniques

After doing several wirings and installations with my supervisor, I was able to do different switch
wiring. I did one way switching, two way switching where a lighting system or device is controlled
from two different positions. Here I was able to rewire a light system in which eight (8) lamps
where controlled from individual switches to just two switch positions at the CT hall of the
institution. And three way switching in which the control is done from three positions with the help
of an intermediate switch, hence referred to as intermediate switching.

Fig (2.4.6.c.) Three way (intermediate) switching diagram

2.4.7. Repairing and replacing

I also repaired the existing lighting systems and power supply systems of the institution that were
having faults. I repaired switches, lamps, lamp holders, sockets and connection points that were
broken or faulty. While carrying out this repairing process, I would remove components that were
completely unrepairable and would replace them with new ones.
At another instant I was also taken to the mortuary at the school of medicine and I replaced top
plugs of many operation and surgery machines and microscopes. The top plugs that the machines
came with were not corresponding to the Kenyan power system standards and therefore needed to
be changed and that day I changed top plugs of 40 microscopes and 15 operation and surgery
machines. I also replaced top plugs of several other machines at the institutions laboratories which
came with wrong top plugs and others their top plugs were spoiled.

Fig (2.4.7.) Top plug diagram

2.4.8. Installation of solar powered security lamps
Since the school needed to reduce its power costs, we installed solar powered security lamps at the
institution gates and areas that needed to be well lit especially at night. These solar powered
security lamps have a logic control system that enables it to be remote controlled and it also has a
sensor that makes it light brighter when a person comes near it and dims after the person passes.
This reduced the need for flat lights which consume a lot of power.

Fig (2.4.8.) Solar powered security lamp diagram and wiring block diagram

2.4.9. Connection of timers and photo cells

I also did the connection of timers for the street security lights which are near the school. The timers
we connected were set to allow the lights to operate starting from 7:00pm and to turn off at 7:00 am.
Within the institution we connected new photo cells and repaired or replaced the fault ones to
control the security light so that they just turn on automatically whenever it gets dark. This reduced
the needed for the guards to go round the institution to switch on the security lights.

Fig (2.4.9.a) Timer connection diagram Fig (2.4.9.b) Photo cell connection diagram

2.4.10. Connection of Wi-Fi router and server configuration

I was involved in the installation of a new Wi-Fi router for the computer lab in library and I was
also involved in server configuration and connection. This was a good chance to learn how server
communicate with the rest of computers through IP and how they can be assessed virtually from
another machine within the LAN.

2.4.11. Laptop repair, maintenance and system/software installation

I also repaired several laptops and desktops and disk formatting, password recovery and windows
and Microsoft installation for various computers especially at the research center, computer lab and
the control room. I also cleaned the computer’s internal parts by use of electric blower, here I had to
identify the most critical parts of computer that can be affected by dust like sinks that conduct heat
away from CPU and fan that acts as cooler. These parts had to be well cleaned with the rest of the
motherboard. I had to first open the closing, disconnect machine to power and blow the inside of the
machine. After cleaning internal part and closing, I hard to blow external parts and wipe by use of
wet cloth. This enabled a computer to work more efficiently with effective cooling system

2.4.12. Maintenance of swimming pool and fountain power control

As the power control unit for the fountains and swimming pool was been checked and maintained, I
was involved and I helped in fixing new contactors for the motors and stop start buttons. We also
cleaned the motors. While doing this, my supervisor explained to me how the whole system works.
Power from the supply reaches the contactors via the circuit breakers and then from the contactors
to the Automatic Voltage Switch (AVS) which checks if there is any fault such as over voltage, or
under voltage. If a fault is detected, the circuit breakers automatically switch off. But when no
fault is detected, the AVS powers the contactor coils which then energizes the contactor and power
is
transmitted to the stop-start switches which switch on to power the motors that run the pumps and
the filters.

CHAPTER THREE

EVALUATION OF THE ATTACHMENT PERIOD

3.1. Experience
During the attachment period at Mount Kenya University, I learnt a lot of practical engineering
skills that I may make use of in the actual field of work after I have graduated. I have learnt how to
identify faults or errors in an electrical or electronic system and to design the possible maintenance
process that may be required.

I have also learned how to take care of internal and external parts of different electrical
and electronic machines in in order to keep away dust and how to clean them, replace
internal components of computer and many other electronic devices and equipment.
I have learnt and now know how to do installation and wiring for both lighting systems and power
supply system i.e. socket distribution and how to carry out the maintenance for the installation and
wiring systems of the institution.

Also during this attachment, I worked with other employees and therefore learnt how to relate and
work together with others in a group. Group work enabled division of work and also learning
from each other.
I learned how to prepare welding machines and how there are used during welding further more I learned on
how to connect motor starters e.g. DOL and STAR-DELTA which protect the motor from the access current
and about the connection of the motors terminals and on how to interpret them, and their controls for the
swimming pool and the fountain that are in the institution.

I experienced on how to learn and interpret the manuals of different electrical and electronic devices, how to
use different type of meters and on how to use them e.g. there is meter for reading currents, voltage and earth
resistance and finally how to determine and calculate the consumption of power in the institution and on how
to correct power factor which is the key point to power consumption.

3.2. Challenges and possible solutions

At the very fast starting moments of the attachment period, I faced a lot of difficulties while
searching for a place for my attachment. I went looking for companies and institutions that could
accept me but many times I was turned away at the gates but the security personals who would say
the company is not taking students for attachment. Again in other companies that I was able to
submit my applications, I totally got no feedback, hence leaving me stranded. But fortunately I
talked to my academic supervisor and the HOD and I had to apply through them, that’s when I was
then able to get attached at Mount Kenya University main campus.

The institution had not been providing me with meals like it does with other workers so I had to be
moving out to look for meals. This made it hard for me and it increased my expenses. At the same
time, sometimes I was made to work over times and would reach home late at night since I was
residing in Nairobi. But my supervisor solved this after I had explained to him.

The department was not providing me with the working tools, so I was asked to carry my own tools
to the work place. This was tiring since the tools were heavy and I had to carry them back and forth
every day.

Finally, whenever I asked questions or made some requests during the attachment period, I was not
answered well and not been given full information or a quick feedback on the requests that I had
made. Again whenever we run out of maintenance materials and requests were made to provide new
ones, it always took very long before we could get them. This made the work hard since we lacked
materials.

3.3. Recommendations
 The University should provide students with the attachment letters and the insurance covers
at the same time to prevent students’ applications been turned away because they only have
attachment letters but no insurance covers.
 The school workshop and engineering lab should be well equipped with the necessary
equipment so that students are exposed to them early enough before facing the in the
attachment field.
 The school should also organize frequent academic trips for the engineering students so
that they get exposed to the engineering world where they can easily locate industries,
institutions and other place in with they may get attached or even employed.
 I would also suggest that the school should help international students in searching for their
attachments and it should also make visits and inspections on students while on attachment
to ensure that students are treat well in the attachment field health wise and also treated
like other workers in the company or institution.
 Finally, sharing ideas and suggestions which will result to good problem solving
and widening ones’ knowledge should be encouraged

3.4. Conclusion
The attachment has ensured that I acquired essential knowledge and work skills that are required in
the various aspects of Engineering and the fast growing technology of today’s world. During the
eight weeks’ attachment period, I had covered many engineering field areas which include handling
machines and systems, cost reduction during maintenance process, customer and work mate
relationships and working conditions, team work, different maintenance processes and procedures,
record keeping and problem solving as required in the Engineering field.
