CHAPTER ONE1.0 Introduction
This chapter covers the objective of industrial training to the student, university and company.
Itrenders a brief idea of what service & computer industries Uganda is all about.
The internship
program is meant to assess the intern’s abil
ity in applying the theoretical
k n o w l e d g e learnt in the classroom in a practical situation in their
r e s p e c t i v e f i e l d s a h e a d o f r e a l opportunities as well as increasing their skills and
accustoming interns to the working environmentin their various fields of work.1.
1 Background of internship training
Industrial training is a partial requirement for students at IUIU at the end of their second
year pursuing a Diploma in computer science and information technology. Its therefore
important forstudents in the application of theoretical knowledge acquired in class, in the field
and it enables
the university to grade its student’s performance in other areas other than in academics.
Internship program has become the bridge for those who want to enter to corporate level from
the Universitylife, through internship I got to know the real working environment that was very
much differentfrom my course study. During my internship, I got a chance to work in the
department to knowabout how a software company develops the product as applications used by
various financialinstitutions. The term I spent at SCI was more engaged with learning part
through projects. All myexperience helped me realize parts like grouping work,
work environment, peering support, carriedout in the organization. Thus, the internship duration
provided me with the opportunity to broadenmy knowledge, acknowledge my
strengths/weakness that would be more helpful to shape up mycareer in the future.
1.1.1 Objectives of industrial training
As partial fulfillment of the requirements of the Diploma in computer science and
informationTechnology program of Islamic University in Uganda. The primary objective of the
internship isto generate a thorough understanding of the workplace relationship, performing of
the activitiesand engaging oneself in the working environment. In a way, it was more to get
practical implicationof all the studies, theories that I had acquired so far. This would help me to
pave a way towardsgrowth in my academic as well as personal development. Apart from general

.0 Knowledge
I have learnt how to repair and service laptops, system unit, UPS, preventive maintenance
andinteract with people of different behaviors as well as communicating with them. I have also
learntto keep time, speak calmly, and confidentiality, replace faulty parts of the laptop, computer
andthe system unit.
3.2.1 PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
Is maintenance that is regularly performed on a piece of equipment to lessen the likelihood of
itfailing. It is performed while the equipment is still working so that it does not break
downunexpectedly.Below is a list of some preventive maintenance steps you can take with your
computer or computerhardware.
Computer preventive maintenance
•

Cleaning your computer hardware.
•

Downloading the latest driversfor your hardware.
•

Downloading the latest updates for your computer software. Verifying you have the
latest antivirus protection updates on your computer.
•

Running disk software utilities, such as Defragand Scan Diskon your hard drive.
•

Deleting unused programs or other files on your computer.
•

If you don't turn off your computer it may be good to reboot your computer every few months,
unless the computer is a critical computer such as a computer server.
When performing preventive maintenance, different tools and equipment’s are used. This
includes;
•Cleaning agent like pledge and shinex to remove rough particles and make it shine after.
•A blower to thoroughly blow all the dust from the machine.
•Cleaning towel small to clean all parts that are sensitive.
•Tool kit like screw drivers to open the machine to clean some of the inner points.
Figure 1: Pledge, Blower and Vim
Replacing a faulty motherboard
The exact steps required to replace a motherboard depend on the specifics of the motherboard
andcase, the peripheral components to be connected, and so on. In general terms, the process is
quitesimple, if time-consuming:


Disconnect all cables and remove all expansion cards from the current motherboard.


Remove the screws that secure the old motherboard and remove the motherboard.


If you are reusing the CPU and/or memory, remove them from the old motherboardand install
them on the new one.


Replace the old back-panel I/O template with the template supplied with the newmotherboard.


Remove and install motherboard mounting posts as necessary to match the mountingholes on the
new motherboard.


Install the new motherboard and secure it with screws in all mounting hole positions.


Reinstall all the expansion cards and reconnect the cables.

3.2.2 Skills gainedCommunication skills
My people skills has greatly improved thanks to the internship training. The modes
ofcommunication in training from verbal to mail communications have strengthened
mycommunication skills to a better level.
Organizational skills
Organizational Behavior defines how employees and employers act in organizations. With
manyorganizations having policies that are to be followed, it is worth noting that before these
policies,comes personal attitude and behavior. This training has nurtured my understanding
oforganizational behavior.
Networking T erminating an Ethernet cable.
Terminating an Ethernet cable is an easy and useful skill, particularly for those interested in
homenetworking or those in the networking field. When you learn to terminate cables yourself,
you cansave money, space, and frustration with tangled cables by making them the exact length
you needinstead of having to use cables manufactured by a company.
Step 1: Materials

Figure 2: Materials

12
Figure 3: RJ-45 data plugs
Wire Strippers
–
I recommend the IDEAL Telecomm/Datacom Wire Strippers
• Wire Cutters (Side Cutters will work)

• RJ45 Crimping Tool

•2
- RJ45 Modular Data Plug (Ends)
• Bulk CAT6 Network Cable

• Ruler

• 2 Wire Boots (Optional, not picture
d)
Step 2: Measure the Cable
Ensure the blade of the wire stripper is perpendicular to the wire and turn the wire stripper
aroundthe cable
once
, which will score the sheathing of the wire.
Step 3:
Remove the wire stripper and gently bend the cable along the score line. This should break
thesheathing which can be pulled off the wire and thrown away.

13
Step 4: Prepare Wires
Figure 4: Preparing wires

Step 1:
Separate the twisted pairs into an "x" pattern as shown. When you look down the cable
from theend, you should not see any of the twisted pairs crossing over each other. Also, the
wires do nothave to be in the same configuration as seen in the image as long as the wires are
not crossingover each other.
Step 2:
Separate the wires of the twisted pairs. When the wires are separated, they should not
cross overeach other.
Step 3:
Assemble the wires into a fan shape and organize for the data plug. There are two common
waysto organize the wires for the data plug. Regardless of which one you use, both ends of the
cableMUST use the same configuration otherwise the cable will not work.I use the following
configuration moving left to right (Clockwise from the 9 o'clock position).

Table 3: Standard Wiring
Step 4:
Firmly grasp all the wires near the sheathing and slide your fingers up, collecting all the
wiresinto a flat line. Make sure none of the wires jump positions. When looking at the wire
colors fromleft to right, the wires should be in the same configuration as described above.

Step 5: Insert Wires and Crimp
Figure 6: After Terminating

Step 6: Terminate the Other End of the CableStructured Cabling System Basics
To understand backbone cabling and horizontal cabling, let’s understand the five subsystems of
structured cabling firstly. These five subsystems are often found throughout a building and
areconnected together so that various types of data can be transmitted consistently and
securely(shown in the figure below).
Figure 7: Illustration of structured cabling

16
Backbone Cabling
The backbone cabling is also called vertical cabling or wiring. It provides interconnection
betweentelecommunication rooms, equipment rooms and entrance facilities. These backbone
cablingstypically are done from floor to floor to floor. When setting up backbone cabling, several
types ofmedia can be used: unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable, shielded twisted-pair (STP)
cable, fiberoptic cable, or coaxial cable. Equipment should be connected by cables of no more
than 30 meters(98 feet).
Figure 8: Backbone Cabling
Horizontal Cabling
The horizontal cabling system extends from the work area’s telecommunications information
outlet to the telecommunications room (TR) or telecommunications enclosure (TE). As shown
inthe figure below, horizontal cabling is usually installed in a star topology that connects each
workarea to the telecommunications room. It includes the telecommunications outlet, an optional

17
consolidation point, horizontal cable, mechanical terminations and patch cords (or
jumpers)located in the TR or TE.
Figure 9: Horizontal Cabling

Problem solving
Conceptual skills are vital in solving problems. From day one of training to, to the last day,
severaltraining sessions have been involving problem solving that require the mental ability to
analyzeand diagnose a solution.

s i g n i f i c a n t a s f a r a s t h e practical part of learning is concern, some of which
are cited as under.
It exposed the intern to the world of employment opportunities, as such, create a link between the
student and the employers which act as a stepping stone fort h e s t u d e n t s t o
a c q u i r e j o b f o r t h e m s e l v e s .



It enabled the intern to apply the knowledge acquired in the classroom in the work place,a s
such increased the effectiveness and efficiency of the
intern and improveshis ability to work in the fields.



The internship program allowed the intern to be
i n n o v a t i v e i n p u r s u i n g professional course by focusing on learning new things
about the course pursued.

Challenges


The field attachment period was too short. The intern could at times work overtimeextensions in
order to accomplish particular tasks, but still time was not enough toaccomplish all the tasks.



Allocation of academic supervisors was done late. University policies state that eachsite/student
has to be visited at least three times by the academic supervisors, but I wasvisited only once.



Apart from the above and other minor challenges such as limited finances to cater for lunchfor
the student, the field attachment went on smoothly.



Students’ difficulties in compiling report. Students are supposed to compile a report
or keep a diary about the work they are involved in and relevant information (suchas
management structure, staff and their duties) about the sections of the companythey get attached
at, students said they experienced difficulties in compiling theirreports.

20
CHAPTER FOUR4.1 Conclusion
I wish if the time span for internship should be extended to three months, I must confess that
thetime I have spent training in NCR in one of the best learning and working experiences in the
fieldof information technology in my life. Not only did I gain practical skills but also had
theopportunity to meet many more experienced and fantastic people both in and out of
informationand communications Technology.Islamic University in Uganda sends out students
for field attachment with the main objective ofenabling the students to get hands-on real-life
experiences in environments they are expected towork in when they graduate. NCR Kampala
was well prepared to take on the student for fieldattachment in the position of a Repair and
maintenance.
Strengths:
The student had a wide range of computer skills and possessed knowledge about mostcomputer
related tasks. The field attachment helped the student to apply the knowledge taught atuniversity
to the field of work by working on real life projects. The field supervisors were veryhelpful and
offered great guidance. This helped the student to learn a lot of new knowledge andskills as
indicated throughout this report.
4.2 Recommendations

4.2.1 To the organization
Facilitation; The management of A.C should buy more facilities such as computers, vehicles so
as
to enable smooth running of the company’s activities and respond to the dynamic competition
environment. This technological advancement will enable the organization to change.
Moreopportunities to students to do intern in their organization; The intern would also
recommend theOrganization to continue giving internship placements to as many students as
they can becausesome miss this experience which is also important requirement of the University
due to the factthat they failed to get placements.Serious supervision to the workers and students,
the organization should increase and ensure moresupervision over the employees in order
to work effectively and also eliminate workers who relax,work lazily and perform actively after
seeing their supervisors.

4.2.2 Recommendations for the University

The university should not wait until the end of the semester before allocating students to
theirsupervisors. All planning should be done early enough so that the students can get the
contacts oftheir supervisors even before going to the field. If this is done, it will solve the
challenge of latesupervision that was experienced.
Constant supervision of students
, The intern recommends the university to carry out constantsupervision and monitoring of
students during the internship training to encourage them to performthe duties fully and also
accurately. This will also put a close link between the academicsupervisors and the field
supervisors to foster appropriate assessment of what the interns are doingin the field.
Secure Internship placements for students
. The University should help students to secureinternship positions according to their respective
programs undertaken at the University throughgiving students recommendations in order to ease
their training periods and also avoid the achegotten by students in search of internship
placements.
Should continue with internship program
, this is because it helps to prepare the students fortheir careers in future and also enable the
students to practice the theoretical knowledge obtainedduring class be exercised practically. It
also helps to develop students understanding of workethics, employment demands,
responsibilities and opportunities.

Appendix 3: Procedures for installing windows 10Enter your computer's BIOS
You first need to make sure your computer is set to boot from your DVD drive or from USB.
Insertyour DVD or USB installation disk and restart your PC. You may find that your PC has a
special boot override menu, which you can access with a key such as F10, F12; look out for the
messagewhile your computer starts. If this is the case, press the key as soon as the message is
displayed,then select your DVD drive or USB stick to boot.If you don't have a boot override
menu, you'll need to go into the BIOS or UEFI Setup program,which is where you change some
of your computer's more low-level settings. The right key toenter Setup varies from PC to PC,
but is usually Delete, F2 or F10, and you'll need to press italmost immediately after you turn
your PC on or restart it. If you look carefully, you may see therelevant key displayed onscreen as
the computer turns on. Some more modern laptops, such ascertain Lenovo models, have a special
button to enter the Setup program, which you'll most likelyfind next to the power switch.
Setup menus vary widely in look and layout, but all follow a similarlogic, so if you look
carefully, you'll be able to find all the options we mention in this guide.
Set your computer to boot from DVD or USB
Once in Setup, find the Boot section. Now change the boot order to put the device you want
to boot from first; this will be DVD or USB, depending on your
installation media type. BootableUSB flash drives are sometimes listed as hard disks.

30
Choose the Windows 10 clean install option
Once you're in the Setup program, select your language, time and currency format and
inputmethod, and click Next. Click the Install Now button. Enter your Windows key if prompted
andread and accept the software license. In the next screen, select 'Custom: Install Windows
only(advanced)'.

31
Before you install Windows 10 you'll need to delete all these partitions, by selecting each one
andclicking the Delete icon. This will erase all data on the partitions, so quadruple-check that a)
you'redeleting partitions from the correct drive and b) that you're absolutely sure you've already
backedup everything you need.

Bear in mind that this may also delete your manufacturer's recovery partitions, so you won't
beable to go back to your previous operating system. Once you've finished deleting partitions,
makesure the drive you want to use for your Windows 10 installation is selected and press Next
toinstall.
