9. PERSONAL CHALLENGES
I wasn’t allowed to repair & trouble shoot smart security device alone. So, for
every device I was given to repair with my boss, I could not see the impact of
the maintenance made. And I was not allowed to perform repairs outside, I was
restricted to the workshop. With the way I was also treated at times wasn’t
nice by the workshop punishing me for not learning so fast or helping a friend
concerning what he/she should concerning a repair

10. CONCLUSION
The in cooperation of SIWES program in the engineering syllabus is a brilliant
idea because it offers me the opportunity to expose myself to practical work and
experience the use of theoretical knowledge gained in the class room. I was
actually exposed to computer diagnoses of a wide range of automobile brands. I
was involved in so many repairs maintenance and parts replacement in different
car brands. I became familiar with the use of modern tools and equipment as well
as there working principle. The program for me became an eye opener to life as a
working-class individual, human relationship and work environment. In overall, I
learn how to look at automobile and used my experience to detect fault and
proffer solution. This is an attribute that is new born and I have taken the
responsibility to build it up, thanks to SIWES.
