EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Students Industrial Work Experience Scheme (SIWES) is an effective instrument for exposing students in the faculty of sciences and engineering in tertiary institutions to the realities of the work environment in Nigeria especially, and the world in general, in their chosen professions so as to achieve the much needed technological advancement for the nation. To give an account of the activities carried out during the scheme, the trainee submits a technical report stating, in details, all the knowledge and experience gained.
This report gives a detailed explanation of all the activities carried out by the trainee. Before giving details of these activities, general background knowledge, as studied from relevant engineering texts available, is briefly explained. Then followed by the details of
