SIWESThe objectives are: Provide an avenue for students in higher institutions of

learning to acquire industrial skills and experiences during their course 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.

Make the transition from school to the world of work easier and enhance students’ contacts for later job placements.

CIT, KWARA STATE UNIVERSITY.Centre for Innovative technology(CIT) KWASU, is an ICT CENTRE

which was formed to meet the software development, communication, effective system for use and network demands of Kwara State University. Since Kwara State University inception in 2009, the CIT have been doing all the necessary activities Students and Staffs need pertaining to portals, system repairing, networking, email, I.D card, and all other issues. CIT aims to consistently redefine expectations and continuously harness global and local resources and intellectual capital to deploy solutions that will generate relevant and inspiring levels of service for all the University Community.

HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE REPAIRS

The hardware repairs are basically on desktop computers, laptops, printers, photocopiers and projectors.

Software repairs involved techniques like restoring, defragmentation, back dating, BIOS setup and so on.

TONER RECYCLINGThis is the process of refilling the cartridge and developers in Printer or Photocopier with a fresh toner and replacing other peripherals of the cartridge such as the cleaning blade, doctor blade, charging roller as well as the drum with the new ones.

HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE INSTALLATIONThe hardware installation involved the instalment of new desktop computers, laptops, printers , photocopiers and their components such as motherboard, power pack, screen, power jack, gears and so on.

The software installation involved the installation of Operating System, Utility Software, Security Software, Drivers etc.

DATABASE ADMINISTRATORAs a Database Administrator, was in charge of organising and storing data, keeping information private for security purpose. I was opportuned to alter, create, delete and modify data of the student and staff in the institute when it is necessary.

ANDROID APPLICATION DEVELOPMENT

Developing Android Content Application using the recommended IDE (Android Studio), programming language (Java), markup language (XML), query language (SQLite) and scripting language (JSON).

DIFFICULTIES ENCOUNTEREDTransportation /financial problem.

Power Interruption which causes damage to some hardware.No proper arrangement for the delivery of devices that have already been repaired.Inadequate/Proper storage space making the unit un-conducive.

POSSIBLE SOLUTIONSProper and up to date documentation should be done on any gadget that comes in and out of the unit.

Provision of delivery van to the unit.

Provision of proper storage space so that faulty electronic gadgets received for repairs will be kept before they are attended to.

CONCLUSION

The aim and objectives of the Student Industrial Work Experience Scheme (SIWES) was achieved by way of participation in various tasks. This broadened my knowledge and equipped me for the challenges that I am likely to face in the work environment. The SIWES programme also bridged the gap between theory knowledge obtained in school and the actual practical.
