1.0 INTRODUCTION

This chapter gives a brief history of SIWES, its aims and objectives, as well as a

short narrative on my application and posting. It also introduces intelligent solution

providers (ISP) of Computer, where I had my SIWES training.

1.1 ABOUT STUDENTS INDUSTRIAL WORK EXPERIENCE SCHEME

The student work experience scheme (SIWES) is a worldwide program practiced

in countries like Japan, Australia, USA, Europe, and in African countries too. It is

popularly known as co-operative education and referred to as sandwich in Europe.

It is a six (6) months students industrial work experience scheme (SIWES) taken in

the third year of the degree program, where the students go to various

establishments related to their course of study.

The program was initially introduced in Nigeria by the Industrial Training Fund

(I.T.F.) which was established under Decree 47 of 1972 by the Supreme Military

Council, headed by General Yakubu Gowon. The Decree was billed to take effect

from 31st March, 1974 and had as its core objective, the gradual reduction of the

percentage of foreign participation in most of Nigeria’s economic activities,

accompanied by a systematic cooperation of locally oriented skilled manpower

into the vast economic sector.

One of the key functions of the ITF is to work as cooperative body with industry

and commerce where students in institutions of higher learning can undertake mid-

career work experience attachment in industries which are compatible with

student’s area of study. The students Industrial Work Experience Scheme (SIWES)

is a skill Training program designed to expose and prepare students for the

Industrial work situation which they are likely to meet after graduation.

Participation in SIWES has become a necessary pre-condition for the award of

diploma and degree certificate in specific disciplines in most institutions of higher

learning in the country in accordance with the education policy of government.

1.2 BRIEF HISTORY OF SIWES

The word SIWES (Student Industrial Work Experience Scheme) was introduce by

the federal government in the year 1973 to develop the technological, physical and

social skill of our nation, through this, adequate and intelligent student are provide

the department involved the actual challenge various discipline before they can be

awarded as am National Diploma (ND) graduate.

1.3 AIMS AND OBJECTIVES OF SIWES

i. Provide an avenue for students in institutions of higher learning to acquire

industrial skills and experience in their approved course of study and also by
 interacting with people with more experience in the field under

consideration.

ii. Prepare students for the industrial work situation which they are likely to

meet after graduation.

iii. Expose students to work methods and techniques in handling equipment and

machinery that are mostly not available in their various institutions.

iv. Provide students with an opportunity to apply their knowledge in real world

situation thereby reducing the gap between theoretical knowledge and

practical work.

v. Enlist and strengthen employers’ involvement in the entire educational

process and prepare students for employment in Industry and Commerce.

1.4 ROLES OF STUDENT

i. Attend SIWES orientation program before going on attachment.

ii. Comply with the establishment’s rule and regulation.

3.0 INTRODUCTION TO COMPUTER

A computer system is a micro, a mainframe or super computer consist of both

hardware and software. It is an electronic machine capable of accepting data,

process the data into meaningful information as output. A computer is a machine

or tool, which is capable of:

1. Taking input data

2. Storing the input data.

3. Processing the input data.

4. Producing the output report on paper or computer store for human being to

use

The term computer is obtained from the word compute. A computer is an

electronics device that inputs (take in) facts (known as data) and then processes

(does something to or with it). Afterward

3.1 INTRODUCTION TECHNOLOGY

In simple language, information technology (I.T) is the overall technical where

withal required for an efficient gathering, storage, processing utilizing computers,

the internet and other electronic tools like camcorders, mobile or cell phone etc.
3.2 INPUT AND OUTPUT DEVICES

Some of the Input Devices include:

1. Keyboard

2. Joystick

 Mouse

1. Electronic pen

2. Track ball etc.

3.3 OUTPUT DEVICES INCLUDE:

1. Printer

2. Monitor (VDU)

3. Plotters

3.4 PART OF A COMPUTER

There are two main parts of computers, hardware and software.

i. HARDWARE are all part of computer he computer you can see and touch

or visible part of a computer which means is the physical device one can see

and touch the range from the smallest of chips to the total unit called

computer system.

ii. SOFTWARE is list of instructions needed by a computer to perform

specific tasks. Software is often called a programs, most times they are

compilation of codes written in specific language i.e. jargons and

 conventions developed by man to achieve certain ends. There are types of

software such as utility software, application software etc.

SOME COMPUTER PARTS

Mouse Keyboard

Printer Monitor

3.5 APPLICATION OF COMPUTER

Computer has varying applications ranging from the most mundane and simple

tasks to the highly sophisticated and seemly complicated. Computers can be

applied to basic office jobs like typing memos, letters, graphic design, photo

imaging and massive data analysis in different fields such as communication,

engineering, crime control, medicine and other technology based field to mention

but few.

Computer has made it possible to keep reliable records, to manage large files to

conduct near impossible searches, to manage and protect databases and promote

secure and efficient payment system.

3.6 CONNECTING COMPUTER TO POWER

This is very crucial and never learns it by trial. Let a competent technician

demonstrate it to you.

Truth however is that it is as simple as connecting a video player and television set

to themselves and then to power. Once the technician has demonstrated this at least

twice-then you are good to go. The use of inverter and stabilizer for any computer

is recommended, because of power fluctuation.

3.7 INTRODUCTION TO MICROSOFT WORD.

Microsoft word is the typing, editing, storing, and printing of texts through an

electrochemical device called computer. It can also be define as the act of

SUMMARY, CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION

5.1 SUMMARY

The student industrial work experience scheme (SIWES) exercise has contributed

greatly in my academic carrier, because I have gain some experience which is very

useful to my field of study. The first advantage acquire during my industrial

training programme was that I was taught computer component i.e. hardware and

software, how to launch computer packages such as; MS Word, MS excel etc.

Finally, my perception about office profession has been greatly widely broaden. It

gives me the opportunity to gain first experience of the profession even though it

was not easy.

5.2 CONCLUSION

The SIWES program expected to be undergone by all students in the school of

applied science in all tertiary institution in Nigeria.

I therefore deeply appreciate the industrial training of my school (Kaduna

Polytechnic) for involving themselves in such a worldwide program. The

importance of this training cannot be over emphasized industrial training by some

operations carried out during the program.

5.3 RECOMMENDATION

I like to use this medium to explore the federal Government at all stage to take this

SIWES program more seriously seen by the students of applied science as a virtual

improvement in future of technology in our nature.

Government should also ensure a proper supervision of SIWES student so that the

purpose of the programme will be achieved.

The federal Government should make adequate provision in the annual budget for

proper funding of SIWES in view of the potential of the scheme to contribute to

enhancing the quality of the pool to technical skill available to the economy.

A comprehensive and detail directory of employer who accept students for SIWES

is urgently required to facilitate placement of student in industry.

In order to guarantee quality assurance of institution and the ITF. The ITF should

ensure that the backlog in payment of students allowance is cleared urgently to

remove the negative image being created for SIWES.
