CHAPTER ONE
1.0 INTRODUCTION TO THE PROGRAM
1.1 HISTORY OF SIWES
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.

5
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.
Duration
The duration of SIWES for universities is six months while for
polytechnics and college of education is four months.
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.

cots for touch-up repairs or to justify a customer’s desire to change the cars
colour. They make cosmetics repair to the vehicles and repaint them, often after
collisions or accident.
f. TECHNICIANS
Service technicians work on traditional mechanical components, such as
engines, transmissions, and drive belts. However, they are also familiar with a
growing number of electronic systems. Braking, transmission, and steering
systems. Also use many common hand tools, such as sockets and ratchets,
wrenches, and pliers. These tools generally are owned by service technicians.
Automotive service technicians and mechanics typically do the following:
 Identify mechanical problems, often by using computerized diagnostic equipment
 Test parts and systems to ensure that they are working properly
 Follow checklists to ensure that all critical parts are examined
 Perform basic care and maintenance, including changing oil, giving tune-ups,
checking fluid levels, and rotating tires

CHAPTER
3.0 ANALYSIS OF SERVICE AND PRODUCT
3.1 ERGONOMICS
3.1.0 PROBLEMS ENCOUNTERED DURING PERIOD OFTRAINING
As ideal as the program is, the real world is not perfect as it seems, so
also the program itself. Some of the problems encountered during my course of
work
1) The problem of 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) Attitude towards IT students
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.
3.1.1 HealthSafetyAnd Environmental Management
The Ojomash Automobile Group shall struggle to provide a safe and
healthy working environment and comply, in the conduct of its business affairs,

16
with all regulations regarding the preservation of the environment of the territory
it operates in. The Ojomash Automobile Group shall be committed to prevent the
wasteful use and dispersal of any natural resources hazardous to the well being of
the community. The follow are the safety measures followed by the company:
a. Always wear safety gear while working in the workshop, safety shoes and
eyeglasses are mandatory for workshops like welding.
b. Malfunctioning machines can occur any time. It could happen during the process
of screw tightening or replacing the motor of the machine. Irrespective of the type
of break down, never try to work on it while the machine is on and running
c. While dealing with vehicles, always ensure that common safety guidelines are
observed. Pull the hand brake, choke the rear wheels, and fit fender covers.
Always jack the vehicle on a hard surface else use spreading blocks for load
spreading
d. Maintain all the service records of machines and equipment. It will not only save
time but also help you to take care of repetitive break downs.
e. All the tools and accessories must be kept back at their relevant places. Placing
them anywhere will lead to chaos and inefficient working.
f. Smoking and drinking should be prohibited in the workshop.
g. The gangway through the workshop must be kept clear. Any grease or oil spillage
must be cleaned on a regular basis.
h. Always take part in mock security drills. Workshops are enclosed structures, at
the time of emergency you may find yourself stuck. Whenever mock security

17
drills are conducted, participate in them because that is the best way to prepare
you for emergencies.
i. Before commencing any welding operations, make sure that an appropriate fire
extinguisher is readily accessible. All the workers must know how to use fire
extinguishers, although clear instructions are always written on them.
Inflammable materials must always be accompanied with fire extinguishers.
j. One must know the difference between water extinguishers and carbon dioxide
extinguishers and when to use them as well. For electrical fires, water
extinguishers should not be used. Proper training is advised so that no confusion
arises at the time of emergency.

3.2.2 EQUIPMENT,SOFTWARE AND MACHINERYUSE INTHE COMPANY
1. Hydraulic 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, make sure to always use jack stands. Good jacks can be a bit pricey so
you may want to use the mechanical jack that comes with your car as a substitute
and maybe ramps.

19
Required Personnel To Operate The Tool
The hydraulic jack is also a simple that can be operated by anybody in the
workshop, ranging from the chairman/CEO to the junior technicians
Hydraulic Jack
2. Jack Stand: One of the essential tools needed for auto mechanic work are jack
stands. Once a vehicle is lifted to fit the jack stand on a solid part of the car
underneath it like the chassis, they can be carefully fitted before removing the
jack. The jack stand is use to safely secure a lifted car. Each type of jack stand has
the maximum load it can withstand or carry. For safety purposes jack stand that
can carry at least 2-3 tons of weight are employed.
REQUIRED PERSONEL TO OPERATE THE TOOL

20
The jack stand is a simple and universal tool that can be operated by
anybody in the workshop, ranging from the chairman/CEO to the junior
technicians
Jack stand
3. ODB2 Scanner: Want to know why is that "Engine Check" light on?
Troubleshooting gets so much easy with an OBD2 Scanner. Back in the day this
tools did only read codes and they costed a fortune. Luckily for us, in 2017 good
OBD2 scanners can be found at around a hundred dollars with engine and ABS
code read, scan and erase. Some are brand-specific, some are "read only" and
some can do it all, just like the software used at authorized dealerships. We advise
you to do your research when you purchase one of these tools. Cars from 1996
onwards incorporate OBD2.

21
The wrench set is a simple and universal tool that can be operated by
technicians
Odb2 Scanner
4. Multimter: 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 advise you
to buy something of decent quality as you will give this tool a LOT of use.
The multimeter is that can be operated by the chairman, senior electrician, and
some of the junior technicians in the workshop

22
The Multimeter
5. 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 he vehicle
at repairing process. It uses heavy cantilever structure to hold the ingine 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.
The engine crane is also a simple that can be operated by anybody in the
workshop, ranging from the chairman/CEO to the junior technicians.

23
The Engine Crane
6. 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 every one
.
BATTERY BOOSTER: 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 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

24
removed, if the vehicle charging system is functional, normal operation of the
vehicle will restore the charge of the battery
7. 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.
The wheel alignment machine can be operated by the senior technicians in the
workshop

3.2.4 SomeComponentPartof 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
1. 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.

27
Engine Block
2. 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
3. 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.

28
Crankshaft
4. 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 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.

29
5. 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
6. 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.
7. 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

30
the exhaust valve. 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.
The camshaft
8. 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.
9. 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
3.2.5 HANDLING EQUIPMENT USE

31
1.0 Oil Filter Wrench: Oil filter wrench are use to change oil filters in a car engine.
Doing an oil change is perhaps one of the simplest, most money-saving operations
we can conduct in our own cars. Oil filters tend to get really stiff and is usually
borderline impossible to remove them by hand.
There are loads of different tools for this purpose although we believe
adjustable zip wrenches as the one on the picture and 3 Jaw wrenches are the most
efficient for the job. Getting at least one oil filter wrench of any kind (just the one
that fits your car better, for instance) is an absolute must.
The oil filter is a simple tool that can be operated by anybody in the
workshop, ranging from the chairman/CEO to the junior technicians.
Oil filter wrench
2.0 Oil Pan: Another essential material for oil changes of any kind (be it engine oil,
transmission oil, gearbox oil...) To perform oil-related operations in a clean and
environmentally friendly way, is using a oil drip pan. They allow you to collect
the used oil and help keeping your garage clean from dangerous oil spills.If you
change your engine's oil following the right oil change interval, you will be

32
handling around 2-3 gallons of used oil per year depending on how much you use
your car.
The oil pan can be used by anybody in the workshop, ranging from the
chairman/CEO to the junior technicians
The Oil Pan
3.0 Hammer: Things get stuck with dirt, grease and rust, and sometimes a good
whack with a hammer is all it takes for that rotor or that ball joint to come off.
Especially when we work in brakes and suspension, things tend to get really hard.
Look for a nice rubber handlebar to ensure good grip. The one in the picture is a
Ball peen hammer. If you work with big vehicles such as industrial vehicles, you
may want to consider getting a Club Hammer too.
The Ball pen hammer can be used by anybody in the workshop, ranging
from the chairman/CEO to the junior technicians

33
Ball pen hammer
4.0 Screw Drivers: As the names imply they are tools use to drive screw. A nice set
of screwdrivers is one of the basics of any well-assorted toolbox. There are shapes
galore although the most common are: Flat, Phillips, Allen and Torx. If faced with
an uncommon kind of screw, you can always check this extensive list and see
what the kind of screwdriver that you need is. Most ratchet sets include a few
different screwdriver heads with the most common shapes and sizes. Consider
getting at least some stubbed ones, great for working in reduced spaces, and some
regular length ones.
The screw driver is a simple and universal tool that can be operated by
technicians

34
SETS OF SCREW DRIVERS
5.0 Braker Bar: A metal pipe attached to a wrench does the same as this and you
don't always need to have a 24 inch long metal tube hanging around your garage,
especially when you only have a small portable toolbox to keep everything
together. It is however a very useful tool as it provides with greater torque,
helping with hard bolts. The longer, the more powerful. Go only for chrome
vanadium alloys on this one.
The Ball pen hammer can be used by anybody in the workshop, ranging
from the chairman/CEO to the junior technicians
Braker Bar
6.0 Rachets And Socket Sets: These are tools that allow you to work with freedom,
speed and accuracy. One of the best possible investments for your tool box. There

35
are three different sizes of ratchets: ¼” (small), ⅜” (medium), and ½”
(large). There are sets with all three, two like the one in the picture or just one
size. With sockets of all kinds, or just the basic ones. Some sets come with
ratchets AND wrenches... Try and get yourself at least a big and a small ratchet
set with the basic sockets as those are the ones you'll use the most.
Socket and ratchet
set
7.0 Wrench: is a tool used to provide grip and mechanical advantage in applying
torques to turn objects, usually rotary fasteners, such as nuts and bolts or keep
them from turning. During maintenance service technicians find it easy to loosen
and tighten bolt & nut without applying more force to the bolt or nut which as a
result can damage it.

36
3.3.1 ACTIVITY OF QUALITY CONTROL ASSURANCE IN THE
COMPANY
The activities of quality control are undertaken by the manager and some
of the senior staff in the company. It involves testing of the cars after service to
make sure that everything is 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.
3.4.1 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
tax themselves are potentially hazardous and can result to injury
3.4.2 MATERIAL PROCUREMENT
Material procurement is one of the activities of the sales director 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

37
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.

38
CHAPTER FOUR
CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION
CONCLUSION
My three months industrial attachment as a junior technician at Ojomash
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 Mechanical Engineers in the immediate society and the world as a
