1.0 INTRODUCTION

The Students Industrial Work Experience Scheme (SIWES) is the accepted skills training
programs, which forms part of the approved minimum academic standards in the various degree
programs for all the Nigerian Universities. It is an effort to bridge the gap existing between
theory and practice of engineering and technology, science, agriculture, medial, management and
other professional educational programs in the Nigerian tertiary institutions. (akerejelo, 2008)

The scheme is a tripartite programmed, involving the students, the universities and the industry
(employers of labor). It is funded by the Federal government of Nigeria and jointly coordinated
by the industrial Training Fund (ITF) and the National Universities commission (NUC).

SIWES was established by ITF in 1973 to solve the problem of lack of adequate practical skills
preparatory of employment in industries by Nigerian graduates of tertiary institution.

Participation in SIWES has become a necessary precondition for the award of diploma and
degree certificates in specific disciplines in most institutions of higher learning in the country, in
accordance with the education policy of government.

Duration: Four months for polytechnics and colleges of education, and six months for the
universities.

1.1 OVERVIEW OF SIWES

Student Industrial Work Experience Scheme (SIWES). The job specification
would guide the industrialist and institutional supervisors in the placement of
minimum industrial exposure preparatory to employment.

1.2 OBJECTIVES OF SIWES

Specifically, the objectives of the students’ industrial work experience scheme are
to:

6
 1. Prepare students for the work situation they are likely to meet after graduation.
2. Provide an avenue for students in the Nigerian Universities to acquire industrial skills and
experience in their course of study.
3. Make the transition from the university to the world of work easier, and thus enhance
students’ contacts for later job placements.
4. Provide students with an opportunity to apply their theoretical knowledge in real work
situation, thereby bridging the gap between university work and actual practices.
5. Expose students to work methods and techniques in handling equipment and machinery
that may not be available in the universities.
6. Enlist and strengthen employers’ involvement in the entire educational process of
preparing university graduates for employment in industry.

1.2 IMPORTANCE OF SIWES

 It provides students with an opportunity to apply their theoretical knowledge in real life
situations.
 It exposes students to more practical work methods and techniques.

 It strengthens links between the employers, universities and industrial training fund
(ITF).
 It also prepares the students for the labour market after graduation

1.3 THE PARTICULAR ITF OFFICE VISITED

Chapter 2

2.1 History of Python

Python is high-level, multi-purpose programming language created by Guido Van Rossum and
released in 1991. It is the world’s fastest growing and most popular programming language
among Software Engineers, Mathematics, Data Analyst, Scientist, Accountants, Network
Engineers and Kids.

Because of its simple easy-to-use syntax which reads like English, it has gained
popularity for being a beginners-friendly language and has replaced java as the most popular
introductory language. Python can handle a lot of complexity allowing beginners to focus on
learning programing concept and not to worry about too much details. With Python it is easier to
fix errors because it allows you to easily compile your work and run until you hit the problematic
part. It has wide range of application from Web Development, Mathematics and computing to
desktop graphical user interface.

Benefits of Using Python

 It helps you to solve complex problems in less time with fewer lines of code
 It has wide application because it can be used for Data Analysis, Web/Mobile/Desktop
Application, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Data Testing and hacking.
 It is a high-level task so you don’t have to worry about complex task such as memory
management as with c++
 It is a cross-platform, you can use it on Windows, Macintosh and Linux Operating
system.
 It has a huge community which can help you solve any problem you encounter while
using it. Whatever you want accomplish in python, it is likely that someone has already
done
 It has a large ecosystem of libraries, tools and framework.

2.2 ACTIVITIES ENGAGED IN DURING ATTACHMENT

I was engaged with the post of an assisting tutor, and I was also a student. Also I was a
biometrics officer in charge of the biometrics exercise for the Police Recruitment exercise which
lasted for one month.

2.3 DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILTY

 My duties were to resume work by 9am

 Replace my the senior lecture when he is not around especially in the MS Office
department
 Attend my python Class at mid-day

2.4 EQUIPMENT AND TOOLS ENCOUNTERED

The tools I encountered are

 Access Point
 Laptop

2.4 SOFT WARE AND IDE ENCOUNTERED

The software and IDE encountered are:

 Python Interpreter

This is a program that executes codes i.e. you can you can type python codes in a file and give it
to this program to execute or type directly to the interactive shell or environment. E.g. Type 2+2
in the python shell and press Enter, the result is displayed as 4.

o Type 4>2 and Enter- The answer is returned as True

o Type 2<7 and Enter- The answer is False
o Type 4> and Enter- You get a Syntax Error (code format not correct or complete

12
  Code Editors

To build a real life application, you cannot do that from python command prompt, you need a
Code Editor or an IDE (Integrated Development Environment).

An IDE is a code editor that has the following features;

o Auto Completion: This feature helps you complete your code as you types it.
o Debugging: Helps you find (bugs) in your program.
o Testing: Helps you test your program if it works well.

There are different types of Code Editors and IDEs and they include;

Code Editors: The most common is VS Code (Visual Studio Code), Atom and Sublime.

IDEs: The most common are PyCharm, IDLE etc.

13
2.6 KNOWLEDGE AND SKILL GAINED DURING SIWES PROGRAM

I gained so many knowledge and they are listed below:

 Developing Graphic Application in Python.

So far we have learnt some of the basic codes of python and how they are applied. But the main
aim of any programming language is to develop visible or visual real life applications that can be
used to users.

Every Windows application begins with a “Window Screen”. It is this window screen
that users interact with, to work with application.

Python provides various options for developing graphical user interface (GUIs). Most
important are listed below.

 Tkinter: - Tkinter is the Python interface to the Tk GUI toolkit shipped with
Python. We would look this option in this chapter
 wxPython – This is an open-source python interface for wxWiindows
http://wxpython.org
 JPython – Jpython is a Python port for java which gives Python scripts seamless
access to java class librabries on the local machine http://www.jython.org

There are many other interfaces available which you can find them on the net.

 Programming with Tkinter

14
Tkinter is a standard GUI library for python. Python when combined with Tkinter provides a fast
and easy way to create GUI applications. Tkinter provides a powerful object-oriented interface to
the Tk GUI toolkit.

Creating a GUI application using Tkinter is an easy task. All you need to do is perform the
following steps –

 Import the Tkinter module.

 Create the GUI application main window
 Add one or more of the above mentioned widgets to the GUI application.
 Enter the main event loop to take action against each event triggered by the
user.

15
16
Tkinter Widgets

Tkinter provides various controls, such as buttons, labels, and text-boxes used in a GUI
application. These controls are commonly called widgets.

There are currently 15 types of widgets in Tkinter. I present these widgets as well as a
brief description in the following table-

Sr.No Operator & Description

.

1 Button

The Button widget is used to display buttons in your application.

2 Canvas

The Canvas widget is used to draw shapes, such as lines, ovals, polygons and
rectangles, in your application.

17
3 Checkbutton

The Checkbutton widget is used to display a number of options as checkboxes.

The user can select multiple options at a time.

4 Entry

The Entry widget is used to display a single-line text field for accepting values
from a user.

5 Frame

The Frame widget is used as a container widget to organize other widgets.

6 Label

The Label widget is used to provide a single-line caption for other widgets. It
can also contain images.

7 Listbox

The Listbox widget is used to provide a list of options to a user.

8 Menubutton

The Menubutton widget is used to display menus in your application.

9 Menu

The Menu widget is used to provide various commands to a user. These

commands are contained inside Menubutton.

10 Message

The Message widget is used to display multiline text fields for accepting values
from a user.

11 Radio button

18
 The Radio button widget is used to display a number of options as radio buttons.
The user can select only one option at a time.

12 Scale

The Scale widget is used to provide a slider widget.

13 Scrollbar

The Scrollbar widget is used to add scrolling capability to various widgets, such
as list boxes.

14 Text

The Text widget is used to display text in multiple lines.

15 Top level

The Top level widget is used to provide a separate window container

Etc.

Let us study these widgets in detail −

Standard attributes

Let us take a look at how some of their common attributes.such as sizes, colors and fonts are
specified.

 Dimensions

 Colors

 Fonts

 Anchors

19
  Relief styles

 Bitmaps

 Cursors

Geometry Management

All Tkinter widgets have access to specific geometry management methods, which have the
purpose of organizing widgets throughout the parent widget area. Tkinter exposes the following
geometry manager classes: pack, grid, and place.

 The pack() Method − This geometry manager organizes widgets in blocks before placing

them in the parent widget.

 The grid() Method − This geometry manager organizes widgets in a table-like structure

in the parent widget.

 The place() Method − This geometry manager organizes widgets by placing them in a

specific position in the parent widget.

 CHAPTER 3

3.1 Summary
In summary, Python is abroad and interesting language. A language in which you can
accomplish anything in Science and mathematical computation, Data Analysis, Machine
Learning etc.
Indeed, the knowledge of python has widened my horizon in the world of
software development such as: OOP, structural programming GUI application etc.

3.2 Problems and Challenges Encountered During My Attachment

Problems I encountered during my I.T attachment were:

 Most times there was bad network connection in other to access the internet.
 Understanding the algorithm of python language.
 Downloading and installing the Code Editors e.g. VScode and setting it up for
learning(coding), finding the IDLE of python in system (it took me quite some time
to find it on my system) and setting up The IDE (Pycharm)

3.3 Activities Engaged in During Attachment

At first I was placed in the Microsoft department t\as an assisting tutor, teaching
every package in Microsoft office such as; MS word, MS Access, MS excel etc.

36
 Secondly I was appointed as one of the biometrics screening officer, responsible
for screening of the Police Recruitment Exercise, which lasted for One month.

3.4 Personal Observation in the SIWES Program

I observed that It is an environment very conducive for learning, most times there was
traffic in the network

3.5 Ways of Improving the SIWES Program

The school should post students to various organization or their SIWES program, because
on countless occasions students tends to find it very difficult getting placement for their
I.T attachment.

3.7 ADVICE FOR FUTURE PARTICIPANTS

My advice for future participants, is that they should go for the knowledge other than
the salary, because knowledge builds self-worth not salary
3.8 BENEFITTS OF SIWES

1. It provides students with an opportunity to apply their theoretical knowledge in real life
situations.
2. It exposes students to more practical work methods and techniques.
3. It strengthens links between the employers, universities and industrial training fund
(ITF).
4. It also prepares the students for the labor market after graduation

3.9 WHAT I WOULD DO DIFFERENTLY

37
I would take enough to learn and understand Python programming so as to go into Data
Analytics
