 1. INTRODUCTION
An intern's goal is to gain work experience and helps in achieving higher grades in
academics as well because of in-depth knowledge in a specific field. Combining
principles of engineering, physics and materials science, mechanical engineering is a
broad discipline. As a mechanical engineer, you can expect to be involved in the
design, manufacturing and maintenance of mechanical systems.

2. Company Background
The Ethiopian Construction Works Corporation is newly established on December
18/2015 based on council of ministers Regulation No 366/2015. This corporation is
amended by council of ministers Regulation No 390/2016, on September 28/2016.
The Ethiopian Construction Works Corporation is a newly established public
enterprise with the aim of becoming a leading, preferred and competitive construction
contractor.

3. Intern-ship description
Week 1: - I get to know and try to accustom to the environment and get to know with
our co-worker. we are working three times a week. The company is mainly opened
for the purpose of keeping vehicles and machines long life and also giving
maintenance and repair.
There are many shops in this company. Those are:-
 Engine shop
 Machine shop
 Body shop
 Welding shop
 Electrical service shop
 Tire shop
4. Tools used in the company
 Wrenches,
 Sockets and Ratchets,
 screw drivers,
 combination and box
 hammers, chisel

Week 2: - I have started to working in mechanical work shop and I tried to see some
of them, for example
1. Types of battery by voltage: - I have thought the difference between 12 voltage
and 24 voltage; that 24V is used on trucks as the starter needs enough power for the
big diesels;  approximately 1000A. If that was at 12V then it's double the current
which means thicker cables. and for a small car 12V is usually the standard.
2. Gear box: - The purpose of a gearbox is to increase or reduce speed. As a result,
torque output will be the inverse of the speed function.
3. Radiator : -The radiator is Grand Central Station for an engine’s cooling system:
The mixture of antifreeze and water that cools the engine continually passes through
the radiator, where it discharges some of the heat it picked up from the engine and
takes in cooler air before circulating again through passages around the engine.

4. How to change Car tyre: -

Fig 1. How to change tyre

Step 1: Put your car into first gear in your car and then apply the handbrake. For
automatic transmissions, put the car into "park".
Step 2: Use the cross wrench to loosen all of the wheel bolts in the wheel.
Step 3: Position the car jack at the point indicated on the car. Jack your car up so that
the tyre no longer touches the ground – a few centimetres is enough.
Step 4: Use the cross wrench to remove all of the wheel bolts. Take the wheel off the
hub and mark it with your grease pencil.
Step 5: Use the wire brush to remove any rust and dirt from the wheel hub. Now put
on the new wheel.
Step 6: Refit the wheel bolts. Use the cross wrench to tighten them lightly at this
stage.
Step 7: Lower your car using the car jack until the tyre makes contact with the
ground. It shouldn't be able to turn any more.
Step 8: Use the torque wrench to tighten up the wheel bolts to the stipulated torque.
Always tighten the wheel bolts in a criss-cross pattern. This ensures that the wheel is
seated correctly and snugly. 
Step 9: Lower your car the rest of the way and then remove the car jack. Repeat these
steps for all of the other wheels.

Week 3: - Engine shops: -

Engine is a mechanical device that converts chemical energy (fuel) into kinetic energy
(motion). An internal combustion engine is the engine in which combustion (burning
of fuel) takes place in the cylinder of engine by burning of the fuel high temperature
and pressure force generates.

5. Overview of intern-ship

 Compare and contrast the theoretical knowledge and the practical work.
   I particularly found direct interactions with these company to be useful in improving
my practical skills. Although I found group sessions to be challenging, I believe they
were valuable in developing my confidence as a mechanical student.
 Learning punctuality, honesty, and common good.
