1.1 INTRODUCTION

The Student Work Experience Program (SWEP) is one designed to enable both 100 level and
200 level students of the Faculty of Engineering, University of Ekiti State, to acquire
practical skills and experience at the workshop. It is part of the accepted practical skills
training program approved by the National University Commission (NUC) as part of
minimum academic requirement for the award of degree in Engineering for Nigerian
Universities. The main objective of the program is to bridge theory with practice by creating
an avenue for students to be exposed to real engineering jobs out there in the society and real
time job situations and environment. The negative consequence of this is that engineering
graduates are becoming bankers, auditors and insurance agents among others. In many
secondary schools, alternative to practical is the order of the day.

The training in most of the universities has laid undue emphasis on theoretical aspect thereby
making engineering very abstract and uninteresting to a potentially practical engineer. The
need for self - motivated and self - reliant engineering graduates is imperative as the number
of the unemployed graduate engineers is swelling daily. Unfortunately, the traditional
universities were not developed to cope with this new trend of awareness in technology as the
bedrock to self - reliance.

An engineer who has imbibed the necessary quest and prowess for entrepreneurship in the
setting up of small-scale industrial and engineering enterprises will accelerate the pace of
industrial development. But for such engineer to come with such aptitude and for his
expectations to be met, the trainer must be able to initiate instructional programs which
would help the students to benefit more. Another objective is that it prepares students for
work situation they will meet after graduation as well as expose students to work methods
and various ways of handling machinery and equipment which are not available in the school.

1.2 AIM AND OBJECTIVE OF SWEP

 To make the labour force more vibrant and simultaneously making the economic sector more
buoyant.
 To provide students with an opportunity to apply his/her knowledge in real work situation thereby
bridging the gap between academic work and actual set up.
 To expose the student to work methods not taught in the institution and to provide access to
production equipment.
 Provision of avenue for students to acquire industrial skills and experience during
their course of study
 To prepare students for the work situation they are likely to meet after graduation
 To make the transition from the university to the world of work easier and thus
enhance students contacts for later job placement.
 CHAPTER TWO
ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONIC ENGINEERING

Electrical danger cannot be assumed easy. The danger is difficult to trace since the flow of
current cannot be seen. If the current flow in the wrong direction, the current can defect
human body, cause a shock, paralyzed, fire, explosion, death and others. This accident can be
prevented by observing / obeying safety procedure / rule. This safety rule is intended to
protect employee, user, equipment and building from danger and risk due to electrical effect.
The followings are safety procedures/ rules which must be obey:
a) The floor of workplace must be free (clean) from oil, water and grease. These materials
can cause the workers to slip as they work.
b) Equipment used must in good and perfect condition. If not, report to officer in charge. All
equipment must be kept at right and safe place so that it is easy to look for especially during
emergency. After use, the equipment must be kept at its original place.
c) Wear suitable clothing, not too tight and not too loose. Wear shoe having thick and all
round sew sole when doing wiring work. Wearing slipper is strictly prohibited.
d) Nobody is allowed to make joke or playing sharp instrument or object with friend while
doing wiring work.
e) Make sure the cable/conductor used fulfil its size (rating) and having suitable insulation.
f) Make sure every electrical installation have effective earthling and avoid it from rust. g)
Any addition of circuit must be avoided unless there is permission from officer in charge.
h) Do not dismantle electric component/device used in the experiment without the knowledge
of officer in charge.
i) Assistance from officer in charge must be sought before testing the experiment with
electrical supply.

 NETWORK CABLING
CRIMPING OF A NETWORK CABLE
This is a process of clamping RJ45 adapter and CAT5E or CAT6 network cable together.
Colour Code Standards are used.
Cable Wiring Schematics
When installing network cable (cat5/cat6), wires in the cable are colour-coded to ease the
installation process and for assured reliability and maintenance purpose. Colour Code
Standards are laid down to be followed by every cable installer when at installation site.
Basically, there are two major standards namely T568A and T568B.
The table below shows the arrangement of wires inside the cable according to their colors for
both standards
WIRE 568A 568B
1 White/ Green stripe(White Green) White/ Orange stripe (White Orange)
2 Green wire Orange wire
 3 White/Orange stripe(White Orange) White/ Green stripe (White Green)
4 Blue wire Blue wire
5 White/ Blue stripe (White Blue) White/ Blue stripe (White Blue)
6 Orange wire Green wire
7 White/Brown stripe (white brown) White/Brown stripe (white brown)
8 Brown wire Brown wire

Cable Configurations

 Straight through Cable: the straight cable is terminated by using the same colour codes
at both ends of the cable. This type of configuration enables dissimilar device
connections. E.g. computer  Switch, IP phone (serves as a MODEM)  Computer
connections.

TOOLS NEEDED FOR CRIMPING A CABLE

1. Cat5e/cat6 cable
2. Rj45 connector Rj-45 plug is the common name for an 8P8C modular
connector using 8 conductors which pin down wires in a twisted pair
cable.
3. Crimping tool/cutter
Is a tool used to terminate category cables such as CAT1-CAT6 using an
RJ-45 connector; it can also be used to cut cable to a desired length.
4. Lan cable tester
This is used to test if a category cable has been well terminated, or
develop a fault.

Crimp On Cat6 RJ-45 Plugs

Step 1: Cut your cable and strip about 1” of the outer jacket off the tip.

Step 2: Clip away the spleen. Untwist and splay out the wires.
Step 3: Sort your wires in the proper pinout configuration and insert each wire through the
insert. Set theinsert as far down and as close to the Lip outer jacket as possible.

Setp 4: Trim away the excess wires from then end.

Step 5: Insert the wire tips with the insert as far into the connector as possible. The lip of the
insert should be pointed down in the diagram to the left. Squeeze the outer jacket into the
connector as well until it reaches the jacket clamp on the connector.

Step 6: Insert the plug into your crimper and crimp down.

You’re Finished! You should end up with a finished connector with the gold contacts pushed
in place and the outer jacket of the cable secured to the connector by the jacket clamp.

PINOUTS:
Pin T568A T568B
1 Green/White Orange/White
2 Green Orange
3 Orange/White Green/White
4 Blue Blue
5 Blue/White Blue/White
6 Orange Green
7 Brown/White Brown/White
8 Brown Brown

Conclusion- At the end of the Electrical Laboratory practical we had the

opportunity to connect two systems to each other and so also a system to a
printer with an Ethernet Cable we made.
We transferred documents from system to system. And I also learnt that if the
Ethernet Cable color coding is not properly arranged the Ethernet Cable will
definitely not work. Either it is Straight or Crossed cable.

3.1 CIVIL WORKSHOP

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS IN CIVIL WORKSHOP

1. We ensure we comply with the instructions of academic/technical staff and any safety
notices.
2. We ensure we did not touch any equipment unless instructed by academic/technical
staff.
3. We ensure we conduct ourselves in an appropriate and responsible manner to ensure
our own safety and the safety of others.
4. We ensure we wear shoes that fully cover our feet.
5. We ensure we wear appropriate clothing to avoid safety hazards.
6. We ensure we remain within designated areas.
7. We ignore ignorance when working in civil workshop.
8. We never use blunt blades & bits.
9. We ensure we disconnect power when not used.
10. We ensure we ignore all distractions.

SETTING OUT PRATICAL OF A BUILDING

1. DEFINITION: “Setting out” is the process of locating points for columns, site
boundary level, pile position and other necessary structural parts according to the
construction drawing. Errors should be avoided because the whole structure will be
build based on the respective setting out. A setting out should be made to full fill the
requirements such as length, angle and level.

Setting out clearly defines the outline of the excavations and the centre line of the
walls, so that the construction can be carried out according to the plan.
A building is set out in order to accurately define the outline and width of the
excavation and to determine the centre line of the proposed building walls, so that
construction according to the building professionals drawing (the architectural plan) plan can
be transfer into the ground, this building process is called setting out of building. The centre
line method of setting out is generally preferred and adopted.

Establish set-out lines to fixed points on site, positioned so that the lines are clear of the
intended building. The lines can then be rerun for checking without having to pass through
the building. Designers specify the offset dimensions from these lines.

2. Objective: A building is set out in other to clearly define the outline of the excavators
and the centre line of the walls.
 3. Method of setting out:-
 Setting out of building by coordinates
 Setting out with theodolite and level
 Checking vertically
 Setting out and alignment in steel framed buildings
 Alignment and vertically in form work
 Control and calculation for route surveying

I. SETTING OUT BUILDING BY COORDINATES

A building can be set out by taking referencing from an already established
baseline. An irregular building or a building having a complex geometry can be also be
located using the same method. For each corner of the building, a grid line can be established
from the baseline.
II. CHECKING VERTICALITY
To check verticality of points in a building the following

4. Conditions to be satisfied before embarking on setting out:

 The ground must be clean properly, so that all weeds and other
artificial and natural obstruction must be removed.
 A level ground should be provided so that measurements are accurate.
 Make sure the correct tools are always used.
 Record Measurement properly and clearly.
 Frequent Reference must be make to the measurement during and after
the setting out.
 Working Clothing must be kept safely until work is complete.
5. Materials and tools used for setting out:-
 Working cloth
 Nails
 Line or tape
 Pegs
 Hammer
 Sledge Hammer
 Theodolites
 Measuring Tape
 Fibre glass surveyors tape
 Optical square
 Triangle sets

SAFETY PRECAUTION IN CENTRAL WORKSHOP
1. Ensure you wore your overall and safety booty before working in the workshop.
2. No welding may be undertaken unless the technician-in-charge is satisfied that the
person is capable of doing so safely.
3. Equipment must be cleaned after use. Any materials, tools or equipment used must be
tidied away.
4. Tools and equipment must not be removed from the workshop without permission
from the technician-in-charge.
5. Ensure where applicable suitable ‘local exhaust ventilation’ must be used.
6. All equipment and tools must be regularly inspected and tested before use for safety.
7. We make sure we replace faulty tools.
8. We make sure all work piece was clamped tightly to the vice.
9. We make sure chips was not removed with bare hands.
10. We make sure when welding, we do not use naked eyes, and instead we use our
‘welding goggles

2) SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
 There are so many precautions in the workshop to be with but to mention
just but few and necessary ones we adhere to during the course of practical. They
are as follows;
1. We ensure no loosely fitting clothing may become entangled in rotating
machinery
2. We ensure when working with the machine tools, finger are keep away
from the tool to avoid hit or cut
3. We ensured there is no old spillage on the floor during the practical
4. We ensured Bag, cap and other material were not worn in the workshop
5. Hand tool are clean and kept back in the tool box after use
6. Safety boot, overall, are all used during the practical
7. We made sure where we worked was a well ventilated area

ENGINEERING TOOLS AND THEIR FUNCTIONS

2.1 TOOLS
 Hacksaw

 File

 Steel rule

 Scriber

 Bench vice

2.2 FUNCTIONS
 Hacksaw:
A hacksaw is a fine – toothed saw, originally and principally made for cutting
metals. They can also cut various other materials, such as plastics and wood; for
example, plumbers and electricians.
  File:
There are different type of files use in the files use in the workshop which are half
round file, safe edge files, bastard file and flat file, each of them serve amount
some work. File generally is use in smoothing rough file of a material or a metal
piece.

 Steel rule:
It is used for accurate measurement; they can also be used as guides for laying
out lines, and if rigid enough for cutting.
 Scriber:
A scriber is a hand tools used in metal work to mark lines on work pieces, prior
to machining.
 Bench vices:
A bench vice is also known as woodworking or engineering vices, are usually a
tool made of metal or wood. Their sole purpose is to hold the object underneath,
with grip and thereby work on the object.
 PROCEDURE TAKEN WHEN CARRYING ON THE PRACTICAL
3.1 PROCEDURE
 MEASUREMENT
We first of all draw a shape of the triangle with a breadth of 3.5cm on the cardboard
and draw out the different length of pieces on the cardboard which is 85mm by
2mm, 77mm by 2mm and 95mm by 2mm that was used in the production of the wall
bracket. On the drawing of the 95mm by 2mm drawing, a distance of 60mm and
10mm was measured on it from one end leaving a distance of 12.5mm radius which
forms the bent (curved) side of the metal.
 MARKING OUT
The long metal piece of a length of 3.5cm and a breadth of 3.5cm was given to us
alongside tools for marking out, we then use a graduated steel rule to take
measurement on the metal piece according to what we have drawn on the
cardboard, using scriber to make a mark on each point we are to cut.
 CUTTING
After the marking out, we proceeded to cutting aspect using a hacksaw. During the
cutting process we make use of the G-clamp to hold the object tight so that it will be
easy to cut. We cut out the long metal carefully into a pieces which is 3.5cm, 3.5cm
and 3.5cm long and all with a breadth which still remains 3.5cm, then using a smooth
file to the smoothen the edges of and sure of the metals.
 CHAPTER FIVE
CONCLUSION

The Student Workshop Experience Program (SWEP) plays a significant role in

human resource development, at the end of the workshop program in the central
workshop, Elect/elect lab, Civil Lab I was able to develop new skills and
enlighten me of what the present society holds for me after graduation and help
me adapt accordingly.
