INTRODUCTION
In the early stages of science and technology education in Nigeria, students that graduated from
tertiary institution in the nation had neither little or no technical knowledge nor working
experience. It was in this view that students undergoing science and technology related courses
were mandated to undergo industrial attachment in the view of widening their horizons and
enabling them have technical knowledge or working experience before graduating from their
various institutions.
1.1
BACKGROUND AND HISTORY OF SIWES
In October 1971 a Decree was pronounced by the then General Gowon led military government
and it had the objective of promoting and encouraging the acquisition of skills in industry and
commerce. This was done to generate a pool of indigenously trained manpower which will be
sufficient to meet the economic needs of the nation. The Industrial Training Fund (ITF)
established the Students’ Industrial Work Experience Scheme (SIWES) in 1973. It started in 1974
with 748 students from 11 institutions of higher learning participating. By 1978, the scope of
participation in the scheme had increased to about 5,000 students from 32 institutions. The
Industrial Training Fund, however, withdrew from the management of the scheme in 1979 owing
to problems of organizational logistics and the increased financial burden associated with the
rapid expansion of SIWES. Consequently, the Federal Government funded the scheme through
the National Universities Commission (NUC) and the National Board for Technical Education
(NBTE) who managed SIWES for five years (1979 – 1984). The supervising agencies (NUC and
NBTE) operated the scheme in conjunction with their respective institutions during this period.
The scheme was subsequently reviewed by the Federal Government resulting in Decree No 16 of
August, 1985 which required that “all students enrolled in specialised engineering, technical,
applied sciences and applied arts should have supervised industrial attachment as part of their
studies”. In the same vein, the ITF was directed by the Federal Government to take charge and
resume responsibility for the management of SIWES in collaboration with supervising agencies,
i.e. National University Commission (NUC), the National Board for Technical Education
(NBTE) and the National Commission for Colleges of Education (NCCE). 6 | P a g e Following
the resumption of management of SIWES by the ITF in 1984, the scheme has witnessed rapid
expansion. Between 1985 and 1995, the numbers of institutions and students participating in
SIWES rose to 141 and 57,433 respectively. Between 1995 and 2003, a total of 176 institutions
and 535,210 students participated in the scheme. In 2008 alone, the number of institutions which
participated in SIWES rose to 204 while the number of students from these institutions who
participated in the scheme was 210,390. Presently, participation in the scheme is limited to
Science, Engineering and Technology programmes in universities and polytechnics while in the
Colleges of Education, NCE programmes in Technical Education, Agriculture, Business, Creative
Arts & Design, Computer Studies and Home Economics are eligible
1.2
OBJECTIVES OF SIWES
a) To provide an avenue for students in institutions of higher learning to acquire industrial skills
and experience during their courses of study;
b) To provide students with the opportunities to apply their educational knowledge in real work
situations, thereby bridging the gap between theory and practice;
c) To prepare students for industrial work situations that they are likely to meet after graduation;
d) To expose students to work methods and techniques in handling equipments and machinery
that may not be available in their institutions;
e) To make the transition from school to the world of work easier and enhance students’ contacts
for later job placements;
f) The scheme helps the student in developing intellectual skills as they are often left on their
own to take technical decisions and often analyze complex interdisciplinary problems and proffer
appropriate solutions applicable to real situations.

INTRODUCTION
During the course of my training with the Mechanical engineering and logistics unit of
the Directorate, which comprise of Welding and Fabrication unit, refrigeration and airconditioning unit, Motor vehicles and logistics unit and plants and machinery unit, I was able
to take part in some work done which includes;
a) Production work in the metal welding and fabrication workshop.
b) Repair/maintenance work at the refrigeration and air-conditioning unit.
c) Installation of air-conditioning unit.
d) Maintenance work of some buildings and other structures/facilities through the
welding and fabrication unit.

WELDING AND FABRICATION UNIT
Welding is a process for joining two similar or dissimilar metals by fusion. It joins
different metals/alloys, with or without the application of pressure and with or without the
use of filler metal. The fusion of metal takes place by means of heat. The heat may be
generated either from combustion of gases, electric arc, electric resistance or by chemical
reaction. During some type of welding processes, pressure may also be employed, but this is
not an essential requirement for all welding processes. Welding provides a permanent joint
but it normally affects the metallurgy of the components. It is therefore usually accompanied
by post weld heat treatment for most of the critical components. The welding is widely used
as a fabrication and repairing process in industries. Some of the typical applications of
welding include the fabrication of ships, pressure vessels, automobile bodies, off-shore
platform, bridges, welded pipes, sealing of nuclear fuel and explosives, etc. Most of the
metals and alloys can be welded by one type of welding process or the other. However, some
are easier to weld than others. To compare this ease in welding term ‘weldability’ is often
used. The weld ability may be defined as property of a metal which indicates the ease with
which it can be welded with other similar or dissimilar metals.
3.2.1 CLASSIFICATION OF WELDING PROCESSES
A. Based on the state of the material during welding (plastic or molten):
a) Plastic welding or pressure welding
b) Fusion welding or non-pressure welding
B. Based on the source of heat:
a) Gas welding: oxy-acetylene or hydrogen welding; air-acetylene welding
b) Arc welding: carbon arc welding; metal arc welding; tungsten arc welding; etc
c) Resistance welding: spot welding; projection welding; etc.
d) Thermit welding
e) Solid state welding: friction welding; diffusion welding; forge welding; etc
f) New welding processes: laser beam welding; brazing welding; arc weld etc.
During the period of my internship, I learned extensively and practically about the
Electric Arc Welding. Below is a bit of what I understand about Arc Welding.
3.2.2 ELECTRIC ARC WELDING PROCESS
Arc welding is one of several fusion processes for joining metals. By applying intense
heat, metal at the joint between two parts is melted and caused to intermix – directly, or more
commonly, with an intermediate molten filler metal. Upon cooling and solidification, a
metallurgical bond is created. Since the joining is an intermixture of metals, the final
weldment potentially has the same strength properties as the parts. This is in sharp contrast to
non-fusion processes of joining i.e. soldering, brazing etc in which the mechanical and
physical properties of the base materials cannot be duplicated at the joint.
In arc welding, the intense heat needed to melt metal is produced by an electric arc. The
arc is formed between the actual work and an electrode is it sticks or wire that is manually or
mechanically guided along the joint. The electrode is a specially prepared wire or rod that not
only conducts the current but also melts and supplies filler metal to the joint.
Figure 3.1: Electric Arc Welding
3.2.3 EQUIPMENT USED IN WELDING AND FABRICATION
The various equipment required in welding and fabrication workshop include:
a) Welding machine:
The welding machine used can be AC or DC welding machine. The AC welding
machine has a step-down transformer to reduce the input voltage of 220-440V to 80-100V.
The DC welding machine consists of an AC motor generator set or diesel/petrol engine
generator or a transformer rectifier welding set.
b) Welding cables:
Welding cables are required for current from power source through the electrode
holder, the arc, the work piece and back to the welding power source. They are insulated
copper or aluminium cables.
c) Electrode bolder:
Electrode holder is used for holding the electrode at a desired angle. These are
available in different sizes, according to the ampere rating from 50 to 500 amperes.
d) Ground and ground clamp:
This is the lead that ground this is the lead that ground
e) Welding electrode:
An electrode is a piece of wire or a rod of metal or alloy, with or without coatings. An
arc is set up between electrode and work piece. Welding electrode are classified into two
types: Consumable electrodes (bare and coated electrodes like heavy, light and shielded arc
electrode); and Non-Consumable electrodes (carbon or graphite electrodes and tungsten
electrodes). Consumable electrodes are made up of different metals and their alloys. The end
of this electrode starts melting when the arc is struck between the electrode and the work
18
piece. Consumable electrode acts as filler metal. Non-consumable electrodes are made up of
high melting point materials like carbon, pure tungsten or alloy tungsten etc. these electrodes
do not melt away during welding but practically, the electrode length goes on decreasing with
the passage of time, because of oxidation and vaporization of the electrode material during
welding.
During the course of my internship the commonly used electrode was the consumable
electrode.
f) Chipping hammer:
Chipping hammer is used to remove the slag by striking.
g) Wire brush:
Wire brush is used to clean the surface to be weld.
h) Protective clothing:
Used to protect the hands and clothes of the welded from the heat, speak, ultraviolet and
infrared rays.
i) Face shield:
Protects the eyes and face from harmful particles and rays.

EXPERIENCE, METHODOLOGY AND EQUIPMENT
4.1
GENERAL TRAINING EXPERIENCE
During my SIWES (Students Industrial Work Experience Scheme) which is aimed at
exposing and preparing students for actual work experience on my chosen career, I had the
opportunity to see design and fabrication process in its real sense and reality, I witness how
artisans as well as skilled operatives are managed, how refrigeration and air-conditioners are
diagnose and repair, how materials are put to use especially when it comes to measurement
and cutting and how work generally progressed from one stage to another. This has bridged
the great gap between the theory taught to me by my lecturers and the actual field work and it
has also uncovered me to know some of the applied aspect of my field of study.
4.2
METHODOLOGY IN WELDING AND FABRICATION
The methods used to carry out works during my SIWES program at the welding and
fabrication unit under mechanical department of the directorate of physical facilities are;
a) Using electric arc welding for metal production/fabrication
b) Fencing job using chain-link and casted metal poles
c) Maintenance work of different kinds (metal work) etc.
The supervisor in charge of the workshop started by orienting us on the scheme of
work to do. He made emphasis on the importance of learning about measurement, need of
tolerances when measuring, measuring tools, marking tools, cutting tools, work holding
devices, loosening and tightening tools.
➢ Measurement is the act of obtaining a given length/distance that is use to describe or
produce an item. There is different measuring device, but in this unit, we mostly make
use of tape rule/tape measurement and steel rule. Measurement is taken in centimetre
or in inches.
➢ Marking: marking is the act of taking note at the point you want to work on and to do
this, one needs tools called the marking tools e.g., scriber, divider etc.
➢ Cutting tools: this is an act of making an opening on a work piece or dividing into
pieces especially with a sharp tool e.g., hacksaw, cutting machine, chisel, drill etc.
➢ Driving tools: E.g., hammer a tool with a heavy metal on a long handle. A hammer is
a tool meant to deliver an impact to an object.
Works carried out in the unit at the course of my internship are:
1. Construction of a local charcoal pod
Material used: 1ft flat bars, rim of a motor car, 1 x 1 square pipes
Steps:
➢ measurement and cutting of flat
bars of various sizes; 22inch,

look
3. Fencing work
Material used: poles and chain link.
Steps:
➢ Firstly, obtain the fence plan having
the complete dimension overview of
the property along with the fence outline (height of fence and distance of the pole to
each other)
➢ We mark the property line (boundary) using line.
➢ Then we mark the poles’ location on the boundary line giving a distance of 3m
between each pole.
➢ Digging of the mark points begins; the holes were dug 2ft deep.
➢ The metal poles were then casted with concrete and allow to solidify for two days.
➢ We then used the G.I wire to bind the poles together through the created holds on the
pole.
➢ We fix the chain link the poles and bonded it using the binding wire.

CHAPTER FIVE
OBSERVATIONS, RECOMMENDATIONS AND CONCLUSION
This report vividly describes the activities of Student Industrial Work Experience Scheme as
well as supporting documentation for six-month Industrial Training. It was a scale necessary
for evaluating up student achievement. It was a dream comes through being able to achieve the
targeted objectives. During this six-month industrial training I put what was taught me in class
theoretically into practical aspect.
5.1
OBSERVATIONS
During the program, some observations were made and they are as follows:
a) To achieve quality work, experienced professional engineers were employed to
supervise and direct on all work to be done.
b) To carry out the set work, good qualified artisans/craftsmen are directed to carry out
the work.
c) For one to be able to handle a unit, one must have good leadership qualities and great
management skills.
d) All equipment should be available and in good working condition before starting a
work/job
e) Safety measures are not properly observed by craftsmen
f)
When craftsmen are not properly supervised, they rely on past experience instead of
following the work schedules and specification.
g) Students on SIWES were not properly taken care of especially with regards to their
safety.
h) I observe that material selection is a major factor to consider in production.
i) Joint preparation enhances the strength of a good job.
j) Observe all safety measures during working hours in the welding unit and the
refrigeration and air conditioning unit.
k) At the refrigeration and air-conditioning unit, I observe that moisture content and dirt
can easily be introduce to the system through leakage, during and repairs or during
changing of lubricant
l) I observed that complete attention and focus is needed when handling any component
and tool/equipment.
5.2
DIFFICULTIES ENCOUNTERED DURING THE TRAINING
a) Faulty machinery, tools and materials.
b) Lack of standardization of laborers.
c) Lack of enough safety materials such as cloths, safety boots, hand gloves and helmets
etc
d) No proper motivation.
e)
Had difficulty in understanding to some of the workshop technician’s terminologies
due to the level of education.
f)
Have issue of safety kits
g) Some of the laborers on site were difficult to relate with.
h) Delay of materials to the sites such as irons, refrigerants etc.
5.3
POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS
a) Professional engineers should always endeavour to supervise and have firsthand look
on what is happening.
b) Working machinery, standard tools and materials should be provided.
c) Supervision should be carried out frequently/regularly to avoid any deviation.
d) Vehicles should be made available to convey workers to and fro from site.
e) Safety kit should always be provided for workers.
f) Students on internship should be motivated by organizations.
5.4
RECOMMENDATIONS
With regards to my experience during my SIWES program, I hereby recommend that:
a) There should be an extension of the program because six months is barely enough to
gain so much experience especially for engineering students.
b) ITF should always make it as a duty to visit students in their various places of their
attachment.
c) Foremen should be given adequate motivation to enable them relate vital information
to the SIWES students.
d) Students should be given reasonable financial motivation to make them have a feel of
‘He that works let him feed’.
e) Institutions, ITF and the Federal Government should work in collaboration to ensure
students gain full acceptance in places of attachment.
f) The organization should endeavour to given proper orientation to all SIWES student
on how the organization is running, the dos and dons of their establishment
5.5
OVERALL SUMMARY
The aim of this report is to assists the institute to know the
knowledge/experience acquire by me during my SIWES program. The IT period
spent with the Directorate of Physical Facilities; University of Jos was very
interesting because it exposed me to the practical aspect of my profession taught
in school. The experience I gained during this period will help me in
understanding my course of study and life as it has improved my knowledge and
interaction skills.
5.6
CONCLUSION
The importance of SIWES program cannot be overemphasized as it helps
me (students) in acquiring the needed skills in my field of study.
The program also enables me to understand the importance of my courses
and also to appreciate it more. Supervision from my supervisor was encouraging
as expected as it buster my confidence.
The six months period was not sufficient to achieve the required level of
Practice. Funding of construction projects and a lot of logistic problems makes it
difficult for us to acquire massively. The period of the training was fully utilized
and quite impacting, during this period, most of the process of engineering
production, servicing and installation was learned and achieved. The existing gap
between theory and practice has drastically reduced as I carefully followed each
stage of work done during the training. Finally, my deep gratitude goes to the
coordinators of SIWES and Directorate of Physical Facilities for granting me the
opportunity to get access to the organization and participate in rewarding
activities.
