SCOPE OF THE TRAINING The students’ industrial work experience scheme was introduced and it is
been done as a privilege, so as to empower students on the knowledge of the industrial sector and to give them the need experimental experiences and knowledge based on his/her discipline. Thus a student must do hi/her industrial training In a firm relating to his/her discipline or course of study. This report is strictly based on computer both the hardware and software in respect to the knowledge and experience (including administrative roles as a computer science student) gathered from the computer service section and the I.D card producing section of DELSU Investment Limited (DIL), site 1, Abraka-Delta State. 1.2
AIM OF THE TRAINING The industrial training is aimed at the exposition of students to industrial work,
including the administrative and management role amongst others. The students’ industrial work experience scheme is for the student to be familiar and perfectly make use of devices and equipments not opportune to be in the institution or his/her inability to use such device(s) maybe because of class population.
1.3
RELEVANCE OF THE TRAINING The relevance of industrial training to career objective is to enhance a student
with both the theoretical and practical aspect of a particular course of study, which in turns, places the student who has truly done the training an edge over those that did not participated or did participated like a child’s play.

CHAPTER TWO – THE ORGANISATION: DELSU INVESTMENT LIMITED (DIL) 2.1
HISTORY OF DELSU CONSULT (COMPUTER SERVICE SECTION/UNIT) The establishment of Delta State University Consultancy service Unit
(DELSU CONSULT) was approved by council on the 30th of August, 1995, following a proposal presented by the then vice chancellor, Prof. P.O. Sada through the university senate. Within a short time of its existence, the consultancy unit has successfully completed jobs on divert fields. The Consultancy service unit has at its disposal, the services of large concentration of highly trained manpower in a wide range of discipline. 2.2
HISTORY OF THE ORGANISATION Over the years, experience has shown beyond all reasonable doubt, that
government alone cannot adequately fund the ever-increasing demand and challenges of any university system, more so in a developing country like Nigeria. Therefore, the university has to look inward by creating ways of increasing their internally generated revenue without necessary increment of school fees and other chargeable fees per student. In response to the aforementioned limitation, the university resolves to expand the scope of its consultancy service unit. The consultancy service unit which was earlier established by the council on the 30th of August, 1995, was according to another approval of the council upgraded on the 11th of November, 1999 and established into a Limited Liability Company under the name, DELSU Investment Limited.

HTML AND NOTEPAD HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language) is the most widely used language for
starters for designing web pages. The name suggests HTML is a markup language. Markup in turns allows a web processor to display your document appropriately. HTMLs are languages you use to tell where the heading is for a web page, what is a paragraph, a table and so on. So it constructs your document and renders it properly. HTML code consists of tags (opening and closing), elements and their attributes. These codes are typed on notepad (system utility software and a word processor). In saving your codes on notepad after typing, you must save like this ‘name.html’ as in ‘hampo.html' this is to enable you view it in a web browser as a web page. Opening tag

CHAPTER FOUR –THE EXPERIENCE AND KNOWLEDGE ACQUIRED ON HARDWARE 4.1
HARDWARE ENGINEERING Hardware is the other component of a computer system. Hardware
engineering which is more of system assembling, coupling and repairs was learnt by me during my training, though I did not go into details especially in the aspect of repairs. PC ASSEMBLING This is the terminology used to describe the act of putting different hardware parts together into a functioning computer system. A better understanding and identification of hardware parts equals a perfect t PC assembling. PARTS NEEDED FOR PC ASSEMBLING ∗ Motherboard with a processor ∗ Casing with a power supply unit ∗ Hard disk drive, floppy disk drive, CD ROM/DVD RW drive ∗ Expansion cards (add on cards) ∗ Keyboard and mouse ∗ Monitor ∗ Memory (RAM) ∗ I/O cable MOTHERBOARD (MAINBOARD) This is regarded as the heart of a computer system.

∗ Jumper setting ∗ IDE (Integrated Drive Electron) on-board connector ∗ FDD (Floppy Disk Drive)on-board connector ∗ CMOS battery – Complementary Metal Oxide Semi-conductor ∗ On-board connector for printer, mouse, VDA (Visual Display Adaptor) etc I did play with the jumper setting and the set-up of a system. Also I coupled a system. 4.2
SYSTEM MAINTENANCE This refers to the treatment given to a system so as to maintain its normal
working status or to return it to its normal status after break down. System maintenance is of two types namely: 1. Preventive Maintenances 2. Corrective Maintenance Preventive maintenance is the treatment given before break down. It is a periodic treatment and it involves: ∗ Cleaning of the mouse with spirit. ∗ Blowing of the system unit and the keyboard with a blower to remove accumulated dust. ∗ Deleting unused files on the hard disk for more space. 29

Corrective maintenance is the care given to a system after break down. Basically, it involves repairs. 4.3
CLEANING AND DEFRAMENTATION OF HARD DISK These are system tools that help to maintain the hard disk of s system by
cleaning or compression of un-utilised files and documents in your hard disk. The tools are disk cleanup and disk defragmenter. STEPS TO LUNCH THE TOOLS 1. Click on START button on the bottom left hand side of the desktop and point to All Programs 2. Place your mouse on accessories 3. Place your mouse on System Tools 4. Select the tool you want by clicking the name. DISK DEFRAGMENTER Disk defragmenter is a system utility for analysing local volumes and locating and consolidating fragmented files and folders. You can also defragment disk from a command prompt (MS-DOS) by using the defrag command. To lunch this tool from Windows, you simply follow the above process and click disk defragmenter.

CHAPTER FOUR –SUMMARY, CONCLUSION AND RECOMMEDATION The Students Industrial Work Experience Scheme (SIWES) is to give students the privilege to be exposed to training that is related to their course of study. As a result of this scheme, students acquire more knowledge of various kinds from their places of training. Thus I as an example did acquired a lot of knowledge on lecturing, computer administration, some application packages/software, hardware and I.D card production. Though all my experiences and knowledge acquired during my industrial training are not written, I really hope that this few written amongst others will interest and capture the mind of people reaching and reading this report. My attachment with DIL (DELSU Investment Limited) paved way for the practical knowledge of the following. 1. How to use application software like the ones mentioned in chapter three 2. Using CorelDRAW to design in a little way. 3. HTML codes on notepad for static web pages. 4. Hardware engineering and system maintenance Also, I learnt administrative roles, management roles, lecturing roles and consultancy strategies. RECOMMENDATION I, based on my experiences, knowledge and skills that I acquired during this training strongly recommend the implementation of Students’ Industrial Work Experience Scheme in all discipline and that it should be done properly by students. But the following limitations such as: 1. No pay should be addressed so that I.T students will be paid by their organizations or at least an allowance for transportation should be implemented.
2. Deprivation of I.T student’s usage to some devices should be addressed also. 3. Also, limitation of students to a particular device and training section should be
addressed. 31
