 CHAPTER ONE
1.1 ABOUT SIWES
Students Industrial Work Experience Scheme (SIWES) was established in 1973/1974

session. Prior to the establishment of the scheme, there was growing concern among our

industrialist that graduates from our institutions of higher learning lack adequate practical

background studies preparatory for employment in the industries. It is against this

background that the rationale for initiating and designing the scheme was hinged.

Consequently, the scheme affords students the opportunity of familiarizing and exposing

themselves to the needed experience in handling equipment and machinery that are usually

not available in their institutions.

SIWES in Nigeria is organized and coordinated by the Industrial Training Fund (ITF) for a

period of

(3) month to one year depending on the Institution or Faculty involved. ITF’s mandate is to

promote and encourage the acquisition of skills in commerce and industry with the view of

generating numerously trained man power, which will gather basic practical knowledge

needed in the industrial world out there. Here in the Faculty of Engineering, Ahmadu Bello

University Zaria, the SIWES program is expected to last a period of six (6) months, which

begins every Second Semester for qualified candidates in the Fourth year class. As a

Semester Course, it is awarded Six (6) Credit Units in the Department of Computer

Engineering. It is from the foregoing that I hence present this report summary of my work

experience at Dangote cement plant obajana.

1
1.2 SCOPE OF SIWES.

The scheme is aimed at bridging the existing gab between theory and practice of sciences,

Agriculture, medical sciences (including Nursing), Engineering and Technology,

Management, Information and communication Technology, and other professional

educational programmes in the Nigeria tertiary

institutions.

1.3 AIM AND OBJECTIVES OF SIWES

The main aim of the training is to equip students with the necessary practical knowledge

and technical skills for self-employment and effective involvement in Nigeria’s industrial

growth. The main aims of the establishment of the Student Industrial Experience Scheme

(SIWES) is;

Student Industrial Experience Scheme (SIWES) program was established as a result of

student failure to impact what they have been taught in school in the demanding labour

market, the government and the employers introduced the scheme to take away poor

performance of students after graduation.

The Objectives are: -

Provide an avenue for students in institutions of higher learning to acquire industrial skills

and experience in their approved courses of study.

Prepare students for industrial work situations that they are likely to meet after graduation.

Expose students to work methods and techniques in handling equipment and machinery that

may not be available in their institutions.

Enlist and strengthen employer’s involvement in the entire educational process.

2
 Provide students with an opportunity to apply their knowledge in real work situation.

SIWES increases a student sense of responsibility.

To help students gain interpersonal and eentrepreneur skills.

It inserts in them the right kind of work attributes and professionalism through interactions

with people in the organization.

2.1 GLOSSARY

 Registered jack (RJ45): The eight pin RJ45 connector is a standardised interface

which often connects a computer to a Local Area Network. This type of connector

was originally designed for telephone communications but now used in a range of

applications.

FIGURE 2.1 RJ45 CONNECTOR

9
 Fibre optic cable: for a long distance network transmission, we employ the fibre

cable due to its high transmission rate.

 Backup and format: Backing up files involves creating copies of important data on a

separate storage device to prevent data loss. Formatting, on the other hand, refers to

the process of preparing a storage device for initial use or erasing all its data. It is

crucial to backup all essential files to a separate location beforehand. After these two

distinct operations a computer system, operating system can now be loaded.

 Power cycling: Power cycling means to turn off a device or machine, wait a few

moments, and then turn it back on. This process can help to resolve technical issues or

refresh the system. This is mostly done when some parts of the offices are

complaining of network issue

 RJ45 Tester: RJ45 tester is a tool used to check the integrity and connectivity of

ethernet network cables with RJ45 connectors. It can verify the proper wiring of the

cable, including checking for continuity, identifying wiring faults, and confirming the

correct pinouts. RJ45 testers are essential for network technicians and IT professionals

to troubleshoot and maintain network infrastructure. It often comes with a set of

indicators or a display screen to provide information about the cable’s condition.

FIG 2.2 CABLE TESTER

10
 Crimping tool: In networking, a crimping tool is commonly used to attach connectors

(such as RJ45 connector) to the ends of ethernet cables.

FIGURE2.3 CRIMPING TOOL.

 Authentication: The process or action of verifying the identity of a user or process.

User authentication for each device ensures that the individual using the device is

recognized by the company.

 CHAPTER 3

EXPERINCE GAINED

According to the objectives of The Student Industrial Work Experience Scheme {SIWES} to

provide student with an opportunity to apply their theoretical knowledge in real work

situation. During the course of internship at the company Information Technology

Department I was introduced to the following:(T.A, 1998b)

a. IT support and Client Relationship

b. System configuration and software installations

c. Hardware maintenance.

d. Network troubleshooting and connectivity.

3.1 IT SUPPORT AND CLIENT RELATIONSHIP

In its simplest form, IT support is about helping employees and the wider organization for

technology-related issues. Its purpose is to provide users with answers to problems they may

be experiencing. IT support can also encompass the setup, installation, and configuration of

equipment etc.

IT support is more than fixing problems and questions. IT support services include optimising

network performance and securing against cyberattacks. With IT support and services, an

organization can realise the full potential of its network and follow best practices for securing

it digital assets. IT service providers or support personnel are responsible for providing

technical help to non-IT computer users, often by responding to phone calls/office phone, e-

mail, and chat-based requests for help.

Here are a few of the tasks an IT support technician does:

 Ask question to diagnose a problem

14
  Analyse and recommend problem solving steps

 Train users on how new technology works

 Install and configure network components etc.

IT support provider can be done in two ways depending on the complaints or problem

encountered by the user:

 Physical appearance

 Virtual interaction

Physical Appearance

This involves the physical presence of the IT support provider in attending to the user’s

complaints or issues and providing the needed solution. Physical tools are required in this

phase especially when the issue is hardware based or relating to network trouble-shooting

where the LAN cable would be interacted with.

Virtual Interaction

This is a remote method of solving user’s challenges low demand of physical interference

through virtual means such as phone, email, or anydesk.

3.2 CLIENT RELATIONSHIP

Client relationship a method, strategy, and process a company uses to build and maintain

relationship to all its staffs. This enhance communication skills and bring all staffs into an

environment to express their feelings or challenges encountered in their various offices

demanding IT support and attention.

The following are used for effective communication to convey your message:

1. Landline: a telephone that transmits signals converted from audio data through

physical media, such as wire or fibre optic cable, rather through wireless transmission

as is the case with mobile phones.

15
 2. AnyDesk: is a remote desktop software that allows us to connect to a computer

remotely.

3. Mailing (outlook): an electronic mail or message conveying the problem encountered

tagging at least an IT support provider.

FIGURE 3.1 ANYDESK

3.3 SYSTEM CONFIGURATION AND SOFTWARE INSTALLATION

Configuration is the manner in which components are arranged to make up the computer

system. Configuration consists of both hardware and software components. Therefore,

computer configuration can refer to setting up the hardware and software components of a

computer system. This includes installing and configuring the operating system, drivers, and

applications, as well as optimising the hardware settings for performance and security.

How to set up and configure a new Computer:

1. Physical setup- cables, ports and all the computer’s accessories

2. Connect the computer to a power source

16
 3. Connect the monitor using HDMI, VGA, etc

4. Connect mouse and keyboard

5. Turn on the computer and follow the on-screen instructions

6. Install any necessary updates for operating system and additional software or

applications needed.

7. Set up security to prevent your computer from malware and virus attach.

8. Configure the network settings to connect to the internet via either Wi-fi or Ethernet.

9. Customise the desktop and other setting

10. Backup your computer regularly to avoid data loss.

3.4 HARDWARE MAINTENANCE

Hardware maintenance is a crucial part of any system which accommodate the corresponding

software controlling it. The computer hardware includes the physical parts of a computer,

such as Central Processing Unit (CPU), Random Access Memory (RAM), monitor, mouse

keyboard, computer data storage, graphics card, sound card, speakers and motherboard. A

combination of hardware and software forms a usable computing system.

Computer hardware maintenance refers to the process of regularly maintaining and servicing

physical computer equipment and components to ensure their optimal functioning and

longevity. This can include tasks such as cleaning dust and debris from internal components,

replacing worn out or malfunctioning parts, updating device drivers, and performing

diagnostic tests to identify and address potential issues. Proper hardware maintenance can

help prevent system failure, improve performance, and extend the lifespan of computer

hardware. It is important for businesses and individuals to keep their systems running

smoothly.

17
There are several types of hardware maintenance that are crucial to the proper functioning

and longevity of computer equipment. Four of the types of hardware maintenance are

discussed below:

I. Predictive Maintenance: This approach involves using tools and technologies to

predict when hardware components are likely to fail, allowing for proactive

replacement or servicing before a failure occurs (for instance checking the CPU’s

temperature, battery level etc.).

II. Preventive Maintenance: this involves proactive measures to prevent hardware

failure, such as regular cleaning, inspection, and servicing of equipment to identify

and address potential issues before they become major problems.

III. Corrective Maintenance: This is the solution that must be applied when the predictive

and preventive maintenance have not worked properly or when these have not been

able to avoid failure. One of the considerations to be made regarding this type of

maintenance is that not only will it be important to solve the failure, but we must also

determine what was the cause of it, in order to find the possible repercussions that

might have affected other parts of the system and to prevent it from happening again

in the future.

IV. Evolutionary Maintenance: This type of maintenance is not meant to correct or

prevent possible failures, but to develop the computing resources that are available.

With evolutionary maintenance, we want to ensure that computer systems do not

become obsolete, but remain updated in order to offer the users best technology

options, depending on the possibilities of each company and organization.

This type of maintenance will include everything from software update tasks to

complete replacement of equipment or systems, depending on the needs.

18
3.5 NETWORK TROUBLESHOOTING AND CONNECTIVITY

Network troubleshooting is important as it helps IT managers understand network component

issues, reduce downtime.

With an effective and reliable network monitoring system, it’s easier to troubleshoot issues,

identify network slowdown quickly.

During my IT program, troubleshooting network errors is to check cables, devices, switches,

and routers for proper functioning. Teams can also try restarting devices such as the modem,

PC, and router to resolve simple network.

19
 CHAPTER 4
4.1 SUMMARY

My six-month industrial attachment with the Dangote Cement Plc Obajana plant at

Information Technology Department has been one of the most interesting, productive and

instructive experience in my life. Through this training, I have gained new insight and more

comprehensive understanding about the practical skills of my course of study especially when

it comes to hardware peripherals, it has also improved my soft and functional skills. All these

valuable experiences and knowledge that I have gained were not only acquired through the

direct involvement in task but also through other aspects of the training such as work

observation, interaction with colleagues, superior and other people related to the field. From

what I have undergone, I am sure that industrial training program has achieved its primary

objective.

4.2 CHALLENGES ENCOUNTED

 FINANCIAL CHALLENGES: Most of the government institution should make it as a

service to pay a monthly stipend to the students concerned

 ADEQUATE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT: The companies should put in place all

the necessary facilities needed to enhance the knowledge of the student in industrial

attachment.

4.3 RECOMMENDATION

In view of the relevance of the SIWES program, it is important that it is sustained by

government through the Industrial Training Fund {ITF} as it exposes the student to work

20
tools, facilities, and equipment that may not be available in their respective institutions to

their course of study. To this end I recommend that the following underlisted points should be

implemented.

 There should be proper supervision of the student concerned by both ITF officials and

the Institutional-based supervisors

 Most of the government institution should make it as a service to pay a monthly

stipend to the students concerned

 The companies should put in place all the necessary facilities needed to enhance the

knowledge of the student in industrial attachment.

4.4 CONCLUSION

The SIWES program has been an enriching and invaluable experience that has significantly

contributed to my academic and professional growth. Over the course of the training period at

DCP, IT DEPARTMENT, I had the opportunity to apply theoretical knowledge gained in the

classroom to real-world industrial scenarios.
