 CHAPTER ONE
ABOUT SIWES

1 INTRODUCTION
Students Industrial Work Experience Scheme (SIWES) is one of the
programs of the Industrial Training Fund (ITF), implemented to give the Nigerian
students studying occupational related courses in higher institutions, the experience
that will supplement their theoretical learning. It is designed to give students the
needed practical experience in industries and other organizations so as to enable
them contribute towards the industrial and technological departments of the
country.
The aim of this report is to give a detailed account of the student’s
performance in the Industrial training and the experience gained during the time
frame of his attachment, also to identify the problems encountered and possible
solutions during the Period of attachment.

1.1 HISTORY OF SIWES

SIWES was established by ITF in 1973 to solve the problem of lack of
adequate practical skills preparatory for employment in industries by Nigerian
graduates of tertiary institutions. The Scheme exposes students to industry-based
skills necessary for a smooth transition from the classroom to the world of work. It
gives students of tertiary institutions the opportunity of being familiar and exposed
to the experience needed in handling machinery and equipment which are usually
not available in the educational institutions. Participation in Industrial Training is a
well-known educational strategy[ CITATION res16 \l 1033 ].
 Successful internships foster an experiential learning process that not only
promotes career preparation but provides opportunities for learners to develop
skills necessary to become leaders in their chosen professions.
One of the primary goals of the SIWES is to help students integrate
leadership development into the experiential learning process. Students are
expected to learn and develop basic non-profit leadership skills through a
mentoring relationship with innovative non-profit leaders. It is vital that each
internship position description includes specific, written learning objectives to
ensure leadership skill development is incorporated. Participation in SIWES has
become a necessary pre-condition 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. Operators - The
ITF, the coordinating agencies (NUC, NCCE, NBTE), employers of labor and the
institutions. Funding - The Federal Government of Nigeria Beneficiaries
Undergraduate students of the following: Agriculture, Engineering, Technology,
Environmental, Science, Education, Medical Science and Pure and Applied
Sciences. Duration is four months for Polytechnics, Colleges of Education, and
Six months for the Universities.[ CITATION Uni18 \l 1033 ]

1.2 AIM AND OBJECTIVES

1.2.1 Aim of SIWES
SIWES is aimed at providing students with an opportunity to apply their
theoretical knowledge in real work/life situations, thereby bridging the gap
between theory and practice.
1.2.2 Objectives of SIWES
According to [ CITATION ITF12 \l 1033 ] The objectives of SIWES are as
follows:

2
 1. To serve as a platform where students from Nigerian tertiary institutions
acquire industrial skills and experience in their fields.

2. To highlight to the students the working strategies and employment.

3. To expose students to method techniques and their respective institution.

4. To give an opportunity to employers’ involvement in the educational

process or preparing graduates for employment industries.

5. To enable students to learn more on their field of study by interacting

with experienced people in their respective fields.

6. To teach students the techniques and methods of working with facilities

and equipment that may not be available within the walls of an
educational institution.

7. To give students the ability to try and apply the given knowledge.

1.3 VISION STATEMENT

To be the foremost skills training development organization in Nigeria, and
one of the best in the world.

1.4 MISSION STATEMENT

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

1.5 IMPORTANCE OF SIWES

According to [ CITATION ITF12 \l 1033 ] the importance of SIWES are as follows:

1. SIWES provide students the opportunity to test their interest in a particular

career before permanent commitments are made.
3
 2. SIWES students will develop skills in the application of theory to practical
work situations.
3. It also affords the students the opportunity of familiarizing and exposing
themselves to the needed experience in handling equipment and machinery.
4. SIWES students will develop skills and techniques directly applicable to
their careers.
5. It will increase a student's sense of responsibility.

1.6 APPLICATION AND POSTING

First, I received my SIWES letter from the SIWES coordinator. I filled all
the necessary information on it and went to Center for Information Technology
CIT/BUK as my place of attachment. I went to CIT/BUK located at the Bayero
university new campus. I identified myself with my school identity card and
presented my SIWES letter.
The SIWES student’s supervisor at the center received the letter and signed,
that is, proof that I have been accepted there, he took my details, which include:
name, registration number, address and phone number. I returned the letter back to
the school SIWES coordinator to be stamped, after which I made copies submitted
to the departmental coordinator and the industry-based supervisor.
I started attending the industrial training on the 29th of April, 2021 that is,
immediately after the semester examinations.

CHAPTER THREE
SIWES EXPERIENCE

3 INTRODUCTION
This chapter describes the practical knowledge and experience I acquired during
the five months of my SIWES training at CIT/BUK. During this period, I was able
to acquire relatively much.

3.1 EXPERIENCES & SKILLS ACQUIRED

1. Fiber Optics Operation
2. Data Base Management System Using MySQL
3. Mobile App Development
4. Computer Networking
3.1.1 PROJECT ON FIBER OPTICS
I participated in a project sponsored by the administration of the school
(BUK) It is supposed to expand internet connectivity in some part of the university
(new campus) using fiber optics. I participated in the project because it was the
responsibility of the center (CIT) to oversee the project.
3.1.1.1 Fiber Description
Fiber optic cable is a silicon glass core that conducts data in form of light,
rather than current as in coaxial cables and twisted pair wiring. The core (glass) is
surrounded by cladding and then a plastic jacket. Fiber optic cables have the
highest data carrying capacity of any wired medium. A typical fiber has a capacity
of 50 terabits per second (50 x1012 bits). In fact, this data rate for years has been

7
much higher than the speed at which standard electronics could load the fiber. This
mismatch between fiber speed and nodal electronics speed has been called the
“electronic bottleneck.” There are two major types of fiber: multi-mode and single
mode. The cable we used in this project is a 96core cable which consists of 8
buffers with 12 cores each.

Figure 3.1 Optics Fiber

3.1.2 Fiber Operations I participated on

There is a Network Breakage at the university, where I contribute in fixing
it. We work with 4core at that moment, the cable distributes Network to Four
different centers in the university. The cable is terminated at CIT in a man hole
inside a closure. The main signal (in form of Light) comes from a server room at
CIT directly through a 96core inside the closure which is connected to the 4core
that distribute the Network to four centers.
But at one of the centers CGS (Center for Gender Studies, BUK) there is a
network breakage and CIT take control for fixing the issue. The first thing we did
was to open the Man-hole at CIT and the one at CGS in other to know where the
problem is, after opening the man-hole, we open the closure and take out the
terminated fiber and use Fiber Ranger to locate the core that causes the failure. We
use the fiber ranger to sends signal through each core and then check the
corresponding core at the other man-hole to see if the signal travels. And

8
fortunately, the break core did not receive the signal, because there is no visible
Light.
3.1.2.1 Fiber Splicing

After we locate it, we use Stripper to cut the end. We did the splice inside a rubber
tool called fiber optic closure, which provides space and protection for the fiber
optic cable splicing. After splicing the fiber, we then used a stripper to peel out the
bare fiber, we clean the fiber using a tissue which we pour spirit on it to remove all
dirt. Then place it on the splicing machine to terminate the ends using a fusion
splicing method. Fusion splice is when the ends of two fibers are fused together to
become one single cable to become just as strong as the natural fiber. The place is
covered by a heat-shrink plastic sleeve which protects the joint point. Finally, we
use Fiber ranger again to send signal from the core we operated on and we check
the other end where we see the light showing that, the signal travels through it.

Fig 3.2 Splicing Machine

3.1.2.2 Fiber Optics Termination

I participated in terminating the fiber optics cable in a patch panel using a pigtail.
Patch panel is a mounted hardware assembly that contains ports in which
connectors are placed for the purpose of connecting and managing incoming and

9
outgoing cables. A pigtail is an optic cable that is used to terminate an incoming
fiber cable. The patch panel is installed inside a network rack, for the purpose of
connecting it to a switch. The main purpose of a patch panel is to provide
protection against external physical attacks for the cables, which contributes to
ensure the cables performance in the whole network, because if one cable bend
somewhere along the way where it will be difficult to locate, it will surely affect
the network. Therefore, patch panel helps in protecting the delicacy of the cables.
It improves working efficiency and workflow because the technicians can connect
or disconnect services to the actual locations simply by managing the patch panel

3.2 Expanding Wireless Connectivity

There is a request by the administration of the school (BUK), It is supposed to

expand internet connectivity in the FCSIT Theatre (faculty of computer science
and information technology) which is located behind CIT, using wireless
connection. I participated in the project because it was the responsibility of the
center (CIT) to oversee the project. We climb the rooftop of the building in other to
installed a station which we first put a pole and attached a Nano station M5(5
megahertz) to it, which we placed it directly at 45degress in other to face the
antenna on the mast and receive the wireless signal. We then connect the nano
station with a switch to distribute the network. But our aim is to distribute a
wireless network, not a wired network. Therefore, we installed a radio station
M2Radio (2.5 megahertz) in the server room and connect it to the switch which
will receive the signal from the Nano station and finally we distribute a wireless
connectivity in the building.

10
 We use straight through STP (Shielded Twisted Pair) Network Cable to connect
between the Nano station and the Switch and also to connect between the Switch
and the Radio Station.

Figure 3.3 M5 Nano station Figure 3.4 M2 Radio Station

3.3 DATA BASE MANAGEMENT USING MySQL

A database management system (DBMS) is a software package designed to define,

manipulate, retrieve and manage data in a database. A DBMS generally
manipulates the data itself, the data format, field names, record structure and file
structure. It also defines rules to validate and manipulate this data. We were taught
how to create a Data base using MySQL.
3.3.1 MySQL DBMS

MySQL is one of the most popular database management systems currently in use.
MySQL focuses on the features most people need. In other words, MySQL has
fewer features than the other competitors, but has a small-sized and faster
implementation being able to run modest desktop systems. It is easy to install
without a lot of difficult and sophisticated configuration which is attractive to
beginners of RDBMS (Relational DMBS) [2].

11
3.3.2 The Technologies we use

XAMPP is an abbreviation for cross-platform, Apache, MySQL, PHP and Perl, it

is a free and open-source cross-platform web server solution stack package
developed by Apache Friends, consisting mainly of the Apache HTTP Server.
3.3.3 Creating a Database in MySQL

The steps we follow in creating a Database using Xampp are:

Step 1: Launch the Xampp Control Panel from your System.

Step 2: Click on ‘Admin’ for MySQL to open the panel.

Step 3: Select New shown in figure and a page will load.

Step 4: In the space provided, name your Database and press Create.

Figure 3.5

12
3.4 Mobile App Development
During My Free Time at the center, I use the opportunity to learn Mobile App
development. Mobile app development is the act or process by which a mobile
app is developed for mobile devices, such as personal digital assistants, enterprise
digital assistants or mobile phones. These software applications are designed to run
on mobile devices, such as a smartphone or tablet computer.
3.4.1 The Technology I use
I use Android studio for Leaning the mobile applications, and I use xml
(Extensible Markup Language) for the designing the layout and Java Programming
Language for the code.
During this period, I know how to create a project in android studio and also, I
know how to configure the Android development IDE (Integrated Development
Environment), AVD (Android Virtual Device), SDK (Software Development Kit)
and the Emulator.
3.4.1.1 Integrated Development Environment (IDE)
An integrated development environment (IDE) is software for building
applications that combines common developer tools into a single graphical user
interface (GUI).
Android Studio is the official integrated development environment (IDE) for
Android application development. It is based on the IntelliJ IDEA,
a Java integrated development environment for software, and incorporates its code
editing and developer tools. To support application development within the
Android operating system, Android Studio uses a Gradle-based build system,
emulator, code templates, and Github integration. Every project in Android Studio
has one or more modalities with source code and resource files. These modalities
include Android app modules, Library modules, and Google App Engine modules.
[3]
13
3.4.1.2 Software Development Kit (SDK)
The SDK includes sample projects with source code, development tools, an
emulator, and of course all the libraries you’ll need to build an Android
application.[4]
3.4.1.3 Emulator
The emulator is essentially meant to test your Android applications. It resides
under the ‘tools/’ directory.
3.4.1.4 AVD Manager
The Android Virtual Device (AVD) Manager allows you to create Android
Virtual Devices (AVD), which you can then run to emulate a device on your
computer.
With emulation, however, your computer sets aside a block of memory to
reproduce the environment found on the device that the emulator is emulating.
Android Studio uses emulation, which means the Android Virtual Device Manager
launches a sandboxed version of the Linux kernel and the entire Android stack in
order to emulate the environment found on the physical Android device.[5]
3.4.2 Creating an AVD
Click the Android Virtual Device (AVD) Manager icon encircled in Figure 3.6 On
the first screen of the Android Virtual Device Manager Wizard, click the Create
Virtual Device button shown in figure 3.7 On the next screen, shown in Figure 3.8
choose Galaxy Nexus and click Next. The next screen, shown in Figure 3.9 allows
you to select a system image. Select the first option for Marshmallow (or the latest
API) with an ABI of x86_64. Click Next. On the next screen, click the Finish
button to verify your AVD settings. Congratulations, you just created a new AVD.

3.5 COMPUTER NETWORKING

I was opportune to be part of a networking project at Julius Berger Learning
Center BUK, which was created for the purpose of educative programs, seminars,
computer training and CBT examinations. It contains 250 computers which
comprises of both desktops and laptops. These computers are assembled in order
from 0-3 (servers) and 4 to 254 as clients, which we networked using star
topology, we used switches and routers for the purpose of high-speed signals and
to detect faults easily.
3.5.1 Crimping of Cables
The Ethernet cable we used here is category 6 (cat6) because it transfers data
over 100mbps, the cables are both shielded and unshielded. We crimped the cables
both sides using either of the two types of arrangements that is, T568A and T568B.

 T568A T568B
- White Green - White Orange.
- Green - Orange
- White Orange - White Green
- Blue - Blue
- White Blue - White Blue
- Orange - Green
- White Brown - White Brown
- Brown - Brown

We have two ways for connecting the cables, straight through and cross over.
Straight Through – For connecting unlike networking devices. Examples are
Router-Switch, Switch-Computer, and Router-Computer. The arrangement of
the wires at both ends of the cable connector must be the same that is, either
T568A and T568A or T568B and T568B.

Figure 3.9.1 Straight Through

Cross Over – Used for connecting similar or like networking devices.

Examples are Router-Router, Switch-Switch, Hub-Hub, and Computer-
Computer. In making cross over, the two ends must be T568A and T568B.

3.5.2 Tools we use for making network cable

Registered Jack (RJ) 45
Crimper
Stripers
LAN Tester
3.5.2.1 Registered Jack (RJ45)
The eight-pin RJ45 connector is a standardized interface which often
connects a computer to a local area network (LAN). This type of connector was
originally developed for telephone communications but is now used in a range
of applications.

Figure 3.9.3 RJ45 Connector

18
3.5.2.2 Crimper
A crimper is a device used to conjoin two pieces of metal by deforming one
or both of them to hold each other. The result of the tool's work is called
a crimp. An example of crimping is affixing a connector to the end of a
cable. 

Figure 3.9.4 Crimping Tools

3.5.2.3 Lan Tester

A cable tester is an electronic device used to verify the electrical connections
in a signal cable or other wired assembly. Basic cable testers are continuity
testers that verify the existence of a conductive path between ends of the
cable, and verify the correct wiring of connectors on the cable.

Figure 3.9.5 Lan Tester

3.6 Class Practical

After the project at Julius Berger, we were assigned to make a Network Cable
individually. Where I make both Straight Through and Cross Over. After crimping
the cables, I used Lan Tester to test the cables and ensure the connectivity. We use
the cables (Straight through) to form a star topology using a switch and our
laptops.

19
3.6.1 Assigning IP Address
We set all the IP addresses of the computers including the servers and the
clients. The steps we used to assign the addresses are:
Step 1: Open network and sharing center
Step 2: Click change adapter settings
Step 3: Select Ethernet
Step 4: Select internet protocol version 4 (TCP/IPv4)
Step 5: Select Use the following IP address radio button
Step 6: Fill in the IP address, subnet mask, and the default gateway (IP address of
the server)

Figure 3.9.6 IPv4 Steps for Assigning IP address

We also change the network of the whole computers to private network, so

that they can share network devices and printers.

20
Other skills that I acquire at CIT includes, using mail-merge to write Letter, the use
of Google Scholar, the use Mendeley Software for citation and References. I also
know how to prepare slides using Microsoft power point.

 CHAPTER FOUR
SUMMARY, CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION

4 INTRODUCTION
This chapter covers the overview of the report, the summary of the report,
conclusion as well as the recommendations based on my experience gained
through the SIWES program.

4.1 SUMMARY
The Students’ Industrial Work Experience Scheme (SIWES) is a practical
oriented scheme designed to improve scientific and technological skills and ideas
to students in order to acquire the practical experience of the theoretical knowledge
achieved in the lecture processes. This SIWES report is divided into four distinct
chapters, the first chapter briefly talks about the introduction of SIWES, historical
development of SIWES, Aims and objectives of SIWES. The second chapter gives
the brief history of the place or industry of attachment. The next chapter talks
about the SIWES experience, the practical knowledge acquired through the
duration of the industrial exercise. And the last chapter is the summary, conclusion
and recommendations.
The knowledge acquired as contained in this report is mainly of networking
essentials; how to set up a simple network of connected computers in order to
share resources; the physical methods of transmitting data (twisted pair cables and
optics), Android development seeand a lot of exposure and projects that we have
participated in, in the vast site of the Federal University.

4.2 CONCLUSION
The importance of student industrial work experience scheme (SIWES) to
both students and industries at large cannot be over emphasized. I think that the

22
program is a great aid to students and it enhances learning and help in bridging the
theoretical and practical gap as a result of much theoretical work in the school,
especially to those of us that sincerely did the industrial training, not just to fill the
academic demand but to get the required knowledge and skills in the field. I was
not left out of this great opportunity that is provided by the SIWES program as
mentioned in previous chapters, with this I say I have learned a great deal.

4.3 RECOMMENDATIONS
The following are some of the recommendations made, due to the experience
gained at the course of the industrial training:
1. Students should be encouraged to choose a place of attachment whose
activities are related to their fields of study, with a little guidance from the
teachers.
2. There should be proper and strict supervision by the body (ITF) and various
institutions concerned to ensure that the students acquire the required
knowledge just as proposed by the scheme.
3. The institutions should ensure the regular supervisions of the students by the
assigned supervisors (teachers).
4. There should be a strict attendance in the place or organizations of
attachment to ensure the determination of the students.
