1.0 INTRODUCTION
THE SIWES
The Engineering discipline is practical in nature and mainly hinged on
experience. Hence there is great need for any student aspiring to be a
professional engineer to have some form of work experience while
studying at school, in a reputable engineering firm related to his/her course
of study. Students Industrial Work Experience Scheme (SIWES) is in
accordance with the federal government policy of technical education to enable
students to be exposed to the working experience in industries and to
enable them to be useful to their employers practically and not theoretically
alone. The Student’s Industrial Work Experience Scheme (SIWES) gives
students the opportunity to gain some relevant experience before leaving
the campus. The experience gotten by the students during the SIWES program
would enable them quickly fit into the industry upon graduation.
I had my work experience at the Zelo Electrical Services Company Limited
(ZES), a subsidiary of SHELL, and an indigenous engineering firm. At ZES,
I learnt the fundamentals of electrical engineering; computer aided electrical
design, AutoCAD, and other relevant software such as Plant design management
system (a 3D drafting software), Chalmlite (a lighting design software). My
day to day activities at ZES were recorded in the log book.

power supply. The aim is to test the continuity to ensure integrity of the
live, neutral and the earth conductors without bridging (short circuit).
Testing the insulation to ensure that there is a high resistance between live
and neutral and earth conductors. Testing polarity to ensure all switches and
breakers are connected to phase, live conductors.
(2) LIVE TEST this is the process of testing completed installation with power
supply. The aim is to know the load that is connected to each circuit, each
phase and entire 415v that is supplied. During this test we also test for earth
loop to know the effectiveness of the installation earthling system.
Integrity test is undertaking by visual inspection and the use of a
multipurpose meter (multimeter) or an instrument specifically for recording
resistance i.e. an ohmmeter or megger.

3.2 SKILLS AND PRACTICES ACQUIRED AS AN
INDUSTRIAL TRAINEE
As a student under the SIWES at ZELO, I was exposed to standard
Engineering design practices. The projects executed at ZELO ensured that
Engineers worked in teams, hence, I was taught to be a team player, and a good
one at that. I received training in the following areas of electrical engineering
practice:
1. Computation of Load list:
This is one of the starting point for the electrical group activities.
For any given project, it is important to know the specific number of
electrical loads on site. This is to ensure adequate sizing of power sources,
cables, distribution boards etc. I learnt how to compute a load list, which is
usually a Microsoft Excel document showing all intended loads, their tag
numbers, current, voltage and power ratings, efficiencies, power factors, and
service duty.
2. Generation of single line diagrams:
There were many instances where I was required to develop one or single line
diagrams. The electrical load list came in very handy in such instances.
A single line diagram is a schematic drawing that uses graphical symbols and
standard nomenclature to illustrate the overall configuration of an electrical
system. The single line diagram shows diagrammatically the conceptual/detailed
design for power generation and distribution on a site, interconnections between
various loads, Generation philosophies, load layouts, busbars and their respective
voltage levels, system protection devices, amongst others. These are well shown on
single line diagrams with standard electrical symbols. I received extensive training
on the use of autoCAD, which is the software used by the electrical group to draw
one line diagrams. Figure 3 below shows a single line diagram which I drew with
20
the aid of autoCAD for the R.A Club Kitchen, whose load summary is shown in
Figure 3.1
Fig. 3
Fig. 3.1

3. Equipment sizing and Cable sizing:
Areas covered here includes Generator sizing, Transformer sizing, circuit breaker
sizing, and cable sizing calculations. I also learnt about the relevant standards and
codes as regards equipment sizing and cable selection, such as the National
Electric Code (NEC), and the National Electric Manufacturers Association
(NEMA) codes.
As part of my training, I was given an assignment on equipment and cable sizing in
the R.A Club kitchen equipment project. The calculations I carried out are shown
below:

4. Electrical Layout drawings (Earthing, Cable, and Lighting layout):
An electrical layout drawing gives a plan view of an area (e.g a Flow station), and
shows by means of appropriate sign conventions, such features as the
earthing grid(earthing layout), electrical cable route(cable routing layout),
location of lighting towers/fixtures(lighting layout) etc. I was trained on how to
draw layout drawings using auto CAD. I learnt about the various factors to be
considered before layout drawings/designs are produced.
5. Hazardous Area classification/drawings:
I was also trained on how to produce hazardous area drawings using autoCAD. A
hazardous area is a three-dimensional space in which a flammable atmosphere may
be expected to be present at such frequencies as requires special precautions for the
construction and use of all electrical apparatus. The purpose of these drawings is to
provide assistance in selecting the correct certified equipment for hazardous zones
(as will be clearly noted on the drawing) such as petrochemical plants, refineries,
gas plants, oil terminals, etc.
6. Supplementary drawings (Cable schedules, Distribution board schedules,
Schematics and Interconnection drawings, Installation details, Specifications):
These drawings are also produced at later electrical design stages for a project. I
was also opportuned to see how these drawings were produced and their relevance
to the project. The training I received involved the use of the following
computer aided design/application software:
• AutoCAD
• Chalmlite ( a software for lighting design and calculations).
• Plant design Management system (PDMS).
AutoCAD
31
It is a computer aided drawing software. It is used by the electrical group to draw
single line diagrams, electrical layout drawings, hazardous area drawings,
distribution board schedules, schematics and interconnection diagrams, power
layouts etc. The AutoCAD design package is a general purpose software. It is an
extremely powerful tool. The speed and ease at which a drawing can be prepared
and modified using a computer offers a phenomenal advantage over hand
preparation. There is virtually no limit to the kind of drawings that can be prepared
using the software. AutoCAD provides a set of entities for use in constructing a
drawing. An entity is a drawing element such as a line, circle, or text string
annotations. The effect of every change appears immediately, thus enabling the
designer to take immediate decisions concerning size, aesthetics and taste of the
designer. Other AutoCAD functions allow modifications of the drawing in a
variety of ways e.g. erasing or moving entities or copying them from repeated
patterns.
The view of the drawing displayed on the screen can be changed, or
information about the drawing can be displayed. The use of layers and assigning
colours to the different layers enhances the appearance of the end product and aids
in detecting errors in the drawing that would otherwise have gone undetected. The
final drawing can then be plotted with a pen plotter or printer plotter. The
importance of this software can be more appreciated in that is saves time and cost
in the production of drawings, by providing the engineer with a mature tool to
work, thus, ensuring a more professional and accurate output. The activities of the
electrical group to which to which I was attached, involved the extensive use of
autoCAD.

4.1 SUMMARY
The purpose of this SIWES program is to bridge the gap between classroom
and the industries so that student will be well prepared for the task ahead after their
schooling. So this 6months SIWES program has expose me to real Electrical
Installation works, it has really help me to bridge the gap between the classroom
and the industry, this industrial training really gave me an insight to the task that
lies ahead of me in my chosen career “Electrical Engineering”. So this Industrial
Training Report is aimed to picture the various task that is being carried out in the
industry on the field of Electrical Engineering, the skill acquired and the challenges
on the aspect of Innovation and Creation in order to make the world a comfortable
place for humans.
4.2 RECOMMENDATION
I will advise that more Electrical engineering students be posted to the
organization for their SWEP and SIWES.
Also, the ITCC should find a way to liaise with the company that students
on IT be given transport allowance or there should be provision of a staff
bus for the students, being an example I spent an average of 500 naira
daily
during the course of the IT.
The ITCC should also ensure frequent visit of supervisors to the companies
where students are posted so as to enable students to be serious minded for
the duration of the IT.
Students should be posted on time to ensure that there is time to get enough
knowledge of what they should learn at their respective workplace.
34
The main essence of the scheme should be made known to the companies, so
that students are not assigned to tasks that are not of benefit to his/her career
development.
4.4 CONCLUSION
The SIWES has positively contributed to my training as a future
Electrical/Electronics Engineer. At the SIWES workplace (i.e. ZELO), I was able
to reconcile theoretical principles learnt in school with real Electrical/Electronics
engineering design practice. I also learnt various software applications relating to
my discipline such as AutoCAD, Microsoft EXCEL, Microsoft Word, etc.
Furthermore, I received extensive training on electrical design fundamentals
which included the following: Development of load and single line diagrams,
Design of electrical layout drawings (cable, earthing and lighting layout
drawings), Hazardous area classification drawings, Equipment sizing, cable
and circuit breaker sizing, preparation of material take- off and bill of
quantities, lighting design/calculations, and schematic/interconnection drawings.
SIWES gave me the opportunity to learn about good work ethics, good
interpersonal and communication skills.
