1.1.2 ADVENT OF SIWES
In recognition of the shortcomings and weaknesses in the formation of Set
graduates, particularly with respect to acquisition of relevant production skills (RPSs),
the industrial Training Fund (which was itself established in 1971 by Decree 47) initiated
the Students’ Industrial Work Experience Scheme (SIWES) in 1973. The main reason
behind the embarkment of students in the SIWES was to expose them to the industrial
environment and enable them to develop occupational competencies so that they can
readily contribute their quota to the national economy and technological development
after graduation.
Since its induction, the Scheme has gone through series of reforms, it’s
management for instance has changed hands from the ITF to the various regulatory
Agencies such as National Universities Commission (NUC), National Board for
Technical Education (NBTE) and National Commission for College of Education
(NCCE) and now back to Industrial Training Fund (ITF) again. These are the major
stakeholders in (SIWES).
2
However, the scheme has over the years contributed immensely to the personal
development and motivation of students to be able to understand the important connection
between the taught and learnt content of their academic programmes and what knowledge
and skill will be expected of them on professional practice after graduation.
3
1.2.2 BENEFITS OF INDUSTRIAL TRAINING TO STUDENTS
The major benefits accruing to students who participate conscientiously in
industrial training are the skills and competencies they acquire. This is because the
knowledge and skill acquired through training by students are internalized, and it
becomes relevant, during job performances or functions.
4
CHAPTER 2
Industrial Mathematics was one of the programs which took off right from the
inception of the University in October 1981. It was under the administration of a Co-
coordinator who worked under the supervision of the Director of Physical Sciences
programs in the School of Natural and Applied Sciences (SNAS). This later became the
School of Earth, Minerals and Natural Sciences (SEMNS).
5
The various courses for these options as offered were also discussed and approved
by NUC. In 2007, NUC came on a resource verification visit to split the former
Department of Mathematics and Computer Science into three Departments namely:
Mathematics, Computer Science and Statistics. The visit was successful and its outcome
was the emergence of a full-fledged Department of Mathematics. Today, the department
has grown from strength to strength in all its constituent programmes consisting of Pure
Mathematics and Applied & Industrial Mathematics.
Both options run for a duration of five (5) years. There is cross fertilization and
blending of courses from sister Departments such as the Departments of Computer
Science, Statistics and Physics. Courses for the first two years are designed to expose
students to basic principles of Mathematics, Statistics, Computer Science, Physics and
Technology. In the subsequent years, a whole range of the courses and electives are
offered to meet the needs of the various options and to lay a solid foundation for
Postgraduate training. A nine-month Industrial Work Experience is a requirement before
graduation for all students. A project report is required for every student in the final year.
6
2.2.2 PURE MATHEMATICS OPTION
The option in Pure Mathematics is designed to equip students with the necessary tools
for logical thinking and research. Specialization starts in the fourth year and the emphasis
is on the development of competence in specific areas of Pure Mathematics with a view
towards postgraduate specialization or employment in the Public Service and Private
Sector of the economy.
2.3 FACILITIES
Ø Two (2) well-furnished classrooms.
Ø Specialized library for consultation in every area.
Ø Well equipped computer labs with mathematical softwares.

CHAPTER 3
Web development usually refers to the main non-design aspects of building web sites:
writing mark-up and coding. Web development may use content management
systems (CMS) to make content changes easier and available with basic technical skills.
8
a web browser renders the page content according to its HTML mark-up instructions
into a display terminal.
Ø HTTP: This stands for Hyper Text Transfer Protocol which is the set of rules for
transferring files (text, graphic, images, sound, video, and other multimedia files) on
the World Wide Web.
Ø URL: This stands for Uniform Resource Locator and as the name suggests, it provides
a way to locate a resource on the web, the hypertext system that operates over the
internet.
Originally, HTML was developed with the intent of defining the structure of
documents like headings, paragraphs, lists, and so forth to facilitate the sharing of
scientific information between researchers.
Now, HTML is being widely used to format web pages with the help of different tags
available in HTML language.
9
Tag Description
This tag encloses the complete HTML document and mainly
comprises of document header which is represented by
<html>
<head>...</head> and document body which is represented by
<body>...</body> tags.
This tag represents the document's header which can keep other
<head> HTML tags like <title>, <link>, <script language =”javascript”>
etc.
The <title> tag is used inside the <head> tag to mention the
<title>
document title.
This tag represents the document's body which keeps other
<body>
HTML tags like <h1>, <div>, <p>, <table> etc.
Table are divided into table rows with the <tr> tag. Table rows are divided into
table data with the <td> tag. A table row can also be divided into table headings with the
<th> tag. Table data <td> are the data containers of the table. They can contain all sorts
of HTML elements like text, images, lists, other tables.

Note: CSS code is not written the same way as HTML code is. This makes sense
because CSS is not HTML, but rather a way of manipulating existing HTML.

3.4.2 METHODS USED BY CSS IN FORMATTING HTML DOCUMENT
Ø Inline Style: It is used to apply a unique style to a single HTML element. An inline
CSS uses the style attribute of an HTML element.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<h1 style="color:blue;">This is a Blue Heading</h1>
</body>
</html>
Ø Embedded / Internal Style: It is used if one single page has a unique style. Internal
styles are defined within the <style> element, inside the <head> section of an HTML
page.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<style>
body {background-color: powderblue;}
h1 {color: blue;}
p {color: red;}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<h1>This is a heading</h1>
<p>This is a paragraph.</p>
</body>
</html>
13
Ø External Style: With an external style sheet, you can change the look of an entire
website by changing just one file. Each page must include a reference to the external
style sheet file inside the <link> element. The <link> element goes inside the <head>
section. Also, when using external CSS, it is preferable to keep the CSS separate from
your HTML. Placing CSS in a separate file allows the web designer to completely
differentiate between content (HTML) and design (CSS). External CSS is a file that
contains only CSS code and is saved with a “.css” file extension. This CSS is then
referenced in your HTML using the <link> instead of <style> as earlier stated.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="styles.css">
</head>
<body>
<h1>This is a heading</h1>
<p>This is a paragraph.</p>
</body>
</html>
An external style sheet can be written in any text editor. The file must not contain
any HTML code, and must be saved with a “.css” extension.
14
p{
color: red;
}
Ø Element Selector: The element selector selects elements based on the element name.
Ø Id Selector: The id selector uses the id attribute of an HTML element to select a
specific element. The id of an element should be unique within a page, so the id
selector is used to select one unique element. e.g. id=”hello” css #hello {color;red;}
Ø Class Selector: The class selector selects elements with specific class attribute. To
select elements with a specific class, write a period (.) character followed by the name
of the class. e.g. .center {text-align:center;}.
15
3.4.6 BACKGROUND AND FONT OF VARIOUS HTML ELEMENTS
You can set the following background properties of an element;
Ø The background-color: Is a property used to set the color background of an element.
Ø The background-image property: is used to set the background image of an element.
Ø The background repeat: Is used to control the repetition of an image in the
background.
Ø The background position: Is used to control the position of an image in the
background.
Ø The background attachment: Is used to control the scrolling of an image in the
background.
Ø The background property: Is used as a short hand to specify a number of other
background properties.
body {
background-image: url("img_tree.png");
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-color:#ff00ff;
background-position: right top;
margin-right: 200px;
background-attachment: scroll;
}

font-size: 30px;
font-weight: bold;
}

CHAPTER 4
Finally, my perception about Web Development has been broadened. It gives me the
opportunity to gain first experience of the profession even though it was not easy.
4.2 CONCLUSION
This report has been able to x-ray an account of the entire work – experience garnered
by me during my SIWES program at the department of Mathematics which is a core
scheme in ITF and which is saddled with the responsibility of strengthening the effective
teaching and learning of skill-based course such as Mathematics. I therefore conclude that
SIWES is of great benefit to students in tertiary institutions. It therefore implies that the
proper and effective administration of SIWES will go a long way in boosting and
enhancing the competencies of the workforce of the country. My training here has given
me a broader view to the importance and relevance of Web Development in the immediate
society and the world as a whole, as I now look forward to impacting it positively after
graduation. I have also been able to improve my communication and presentation skills
and thereby developed good relationship with my fellow colleagues at the department. In
summary, the activities that I had learned during industrial training really are useful for
me in future to face challenges in a working environment.
22
4.3 RECOMMENDATION
A comprehensive and detail information on Organizations who accept students for
SIWES is urgently required to facilitate placement of student in industry, as this has
caused many students with interest to learn during this period to use this period for
unnecessary purposes.
Government should ensure a proper supervision of SIWES student so that the purpose
of the program will be achieved. Also, there should be more funding of the scheme by the
government in order for it to be more effective.
The companies should put in place all the necessary facilities needed to enhance the
knowledge of the student in industrial attachment and experience staff should always be
made to train the students on attachment.
