DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF DAILY ACTIVITIES.
1.3.1 Activity 1
We did some installation of florescent Lamps in food’s laboratory.
The installation worked out well after the it was supplied with power.
1.3.2 ACTIVITY 2
Connection of a submersible water pump.
HOW A SUBMERSIBLE WATER PUMP WORKS
A submersible water pump pushes water to the surface by converting rotary energy into
kinetic energy into pressure energy. This done by the water being pulled into the pump;
first in the intake, where the rotation of the impeller pushes the water through the
diffuser. From there, goes to the surface.
1.3.3 ACTIVITY
Installation of two lamps and celling fan.
MODE OF OPERATION OF A CEILING FAN.

The moving blades of a ceiling fan push the air downwards which blows your body heat
away from your skin, thereby cooling you off. This movement means that a room with a
ceiling fan isn’t cooler, but feels more refreshing because of the interaction with your
body, so you don’t run your air condition as much.
1.3.4 OTHER ACTIVITIES
We did repair of some bulbs by replacing them and also replacing the worn _out button.
I also did the repair of broken sockets, assembling of worn out florescent fittings and
repair of iron box. I also took part in the repair of fridges, massive water heaters,
blenders and electric kettles.
We also did the installation of security flood lights controlled by photocells and we
installed street lights along the road they were also controlled by the photocell.
PURPOSE OF THE ATTACHMENT
To interact with people at working place.
Attachment helps one to interact with people from different professional, I was able to
interact different clan thus helping me to make friendship with them.
Laying out a good foundation for student in for the knowledge acquired in the
institution.
Providing opportunity for student to apply skills through the formal instruction in real
situation.
To expose student to industrial business work culture through the actual involvement in
real work situation.
It helps the student to build confidence in technical operation problem solving
teamwork with professionals in the world of work.
CHALLENGES ENCOUTERED DURING THE TRAINING PERIOD.
My training has been successive though I faced some challenges before and I progressed
with training they didn’t bring me down.
i. Problem of securing a place for the attachment- Getting a place to be attached
was a problem as many organizations would refuse to answer my letter.
ii. Finance – During the period of searching the place to be attached, it requires
money as sometimes I had to travel to deliver my attachment requests.
iii. Limited time period of searching the place to be attached.
iv. Lack of enough work to have more experience.
v. During the training there is neither provision to pay interns nor any drafted
allowance, packages allowed so as to lease expenses during the training period
and thus catering for daily expenses.
FINDINGS
a) I found out that out that most submersible water pumps are mostly three phase
unless the smaller water pumps.
b) I also learned that most of the workers including the electrical technicians are
casual workers.
c) I also found out that the organization does not allow one to take his internship
there.
d) The organization does not pay workers overtime but requires them to take off
hours for them to work.
RECOMMANDATIONS
The attachment is very beneficial to students and it assists student to blend academic
work with that of the industry therefore much emphasis and importance should be given
to attachment exercise by the students. Since the experience of the 12 weeks was
enormous, this should be put in place to better future benefits of students and institution
in large.
The institution should allow enough time to the students for their preparation and search
of their attachment and their requirements as provided by the institution as early as
possible.
Students should be facilitated for doing their industrial attachment as it can be seen how
well and important it is, as the students lack enough funds to facilitate their up keep
during the training period.
CONCLUSION.
The industrial attachment of the college gives me the opportunity to apply and put what
has been learned in class into practice. This expose me to work methods not taught in
class.
It also provided an opportunity to assess the interest in my career that I have been
undertaking and also acquaint me with expectations of working in a highly competitive
environment.
The training has installed me some integrity like being punctual, being submissive to and
taking views of supervisors, communication skills and efficient in task and problem
management. As a result, my objectives met and well achieved. Not only did I gained
practical skills but also acquired management, self-motivation and good interpersonal
skills.
I was able to grow my interest in my career and make good transition from what I have
been learning from school to the outside world of work.
