CHAPTER ONE
1.0 INTRODUCTION
This chapter gives a brief history of SIWES, its aims and objectives, as well as a short narrative on
my application and posting. It also introduces intelligent solution providers (ISP) of Computer, where
I had my SIWES training.
1.1 ABOUT STUDENTS INDUSTRIAL WORK EXPERIENCE SCHEME
The student work experience scheme (SIWES) is a worldwide program practiced in countries like
Japan, Australia, USA, Europe, and in African countries too. It is popularly known as co-operative
education and referred to as sandwich in Europe. It is a six (6) months students industrial work
experience scheme (SIWES) taken in the third year of the degree program, where the students go to
various establishments related to their course of study.
The program was initially introduced in Nigeria by the Industrial Training Fund (I.T.F.) which was
established under Decree 47 of 1972 by the Supreme Military Council, headed by General Yakubu
Gowon. The Decree was billed to take effect from 31st March, 1974 and had as its core objective, the
gradual reduction of the percentage of foreign participation in most of Nigeria’s economic activities,
accompanied by a systematic cooperation of locally oriented skilled manpower into the vast
economic sector.
One of the key functions of the ITF is to work as cooperative body with industry and commerce where
students in institutions of higher learning can undertake mid-career work experience attachment in
industries which are compatible with student’s area of study. The students Industrial Work
Experience Scheme (SIWES) is a skill Training program designed to expose and prepare students for
the Industrial work situation which they are likely to meet after graduation. Participation in SIWES
has become a necessary pre-condition for the award of diploma and degree certificate in specific
disciplines in most institutions of higher learning in the country in accordance with the education
policy of government.

1.2 BRIEF HISTORY OF SIWES
The word SIWES (Student Industrial Work Experience Scheme) was introduce by the federal
government in the year 1973 to develop the technological, physical and social skill of our nation,
through this, adequate and intelligent student are providing the department involved the actual
challenge various discipline before they can be awarded as am bachelor of science (B.sc) graduate.
1.2 BODIES INVOLVED IN SIWES:
The main bodies involved in Student Industrial Work Experience Scheme are;
The tertiary institutions and the Federal Government through the Industrial Training Fund
(ITF).
Other supervising agencies include:
1. National University Commission (NUC)
2. National Board for Technical Education (NBTE)
3. National Council for colleges for Education (NCCE)
4. Industry/Employers (NECA, NACCIMA, MAN, Government Establishments)
5. Tertiary Institutions (Universities, Polytechnics, Colleges of Education)
6. Student Trainees (Engineering, Science, Technology, NCE Technical).
The functions of these agencies above are to:
1. Ensure adequate funding of the scheme
2. Establish SIWES and accredit SIWES unit in the approved institutions
3. Formulate policies and guideline for participating bodies and institutions as well as
appointing SIWES coordinators and supporting staff
4. Supervise students at their places of attachment and sign their log book and ITF
forms.
5. Vet and process students Log books and forward same to ITF area office
6. Ensure payment of all allowances for the students and supervisors.
1.3 AIMS AND OBJECTIVES OF SIWES
 Provide an avenue for students in institutions of higher learning to acquire industrial skills
and experience in their approved course of study and also by interacting with people with
more experience in the field under consideration.
 Prepare students for the industrial work situation which they are likely to meet after
graduation.
 Expose students to work methods and techniques in handling equipment and machinery that
are mostly not available in their various institutions.
 Provide students with an opportunity to apply their knowledge in real world situation thereby
reducing the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical work.

CHAPTER THREE
3.0 DESCRIPTION OF WORKDONE
At Elizade University I.C.T Units there are services section, because of the services each section is
providing to the university.
I was assigned to the programming department section as a programmer where I carried out my six-
months training on some programming language on web development and database management
tools.
The programming Languages undergo includes
3.1 INTRODUCTION TO PHP: PHP is a recursive acronym for "PHP: Hypertext
Preprocessor". PHP is a server side scripting language that is embedded in HTML. It is used to
manage dynamic content, databases, session tracking, even build entire e-commerce sites. It is
integrated with a number of popular databases, including MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, Sybase,
Informix, and Microsoft SQL Server. PHP is pleasingly zippy in its execution, especially when
compiled as an Apache module on the Unix side. The MySQL server, once started, executes even
very complex queries with huge result sets in record-setting time. PHP supports a large number of
major protocols such as POP3, IMAP, and LDAP. PHP4 added support for Java and distributed object
architectures (COM and CORBA), making n-tier development a possibility for the first time. PHP is
forgiving: PHP language tries to be as forgiving as possible. PHP Syntax is C-Like. PHP have file
extension (index.php)
Common Uses of PHP
PHP performs system functions, i.e. from files on a system it can create, open, read, write, and close
them. The other uses of PHP are:
 PHP can handle forms, i.e. gather data from files, save data to a file, through email you can send
data, return data to the user.
 You can add, delete, modify elements within your database through PHP.
 Access cookies variables and set cookies.
 Using PHP, you can restrict users to access some pages of your website.
 It can encrypt data.

Characteristics of PHP
Five important characteristics make PHP's practical nature possible:
 Simplicity
 Efficiency
 Security
 Flexibility
 Familiarity
3.2 PHP CRUD OPERATIONS.
The CRUD is an acronym for Create, Read, Update, and Delete. CRUD operations are basic data
manipulation for database.
Create Operation: The CREATE statement is used to create a database and tables in
MySQL. It also means inserting data into database.
Fig:1.2 showingCreate OperationincreatingDatabase inPHP.
<?php
$servername = "localhost";
$username = "username";
$password = "password";
// Create connection
$conn = mysqli_connect($servername, $username, $password);
// Check connection
if (!$conn) {
die("Connection failed: " . mysqli_connect_error());
}
// Create database
$sql = "CREATE DATABASE myDB";
if (mysqli_query($conn, $sql)) {
echo "Database created successfully";
} else {
echo "Error creating database:" . mysqli_error($conn);
}
mysqli_close($conn);
?>

Fig:1.3 showingCreate Operationin InsertingDatainto Database Table inPHP
 ReadOperation: Read means reading data from database using SELECT
MySQL statement.
Fig:1.4 ShowingRead(Select) queryOrOperationinPHP
<?php
$dbname = "myDB";
$conn = mysqli_connect($servername, $username, $password, $dbname);
// Check connection
if (!$conn) {
die("Connection failed: " . mysqli_connect_error());
}
$sql = "INSERT INTO MyGuests (firstname, lastname, email)
VALUES ('OKPEH', 'Harrison', 'jacobokpeh@gmail.com')";
echo "New record created successfully";
} else {
echo "Error: " . $sql . "<br>" . mysqli_error($conn);
}
?>
<?php
$password= "password";
$dbname = "myDB";
$conn = mysqli_connect($servername, $username,$password, $dbname); $sql = "SELECT id, firstname,lastname FROM MyGuests";
$result = mysqli_query($conn,$sql);
if (mysqli_num_rows($result)> 0) {
// output data of each row
while($row= mysqli_fetch_assoc($result)){
echo "id: " . $row["id"]. " - Name: " . $row["firstname"]. " " . $row["lastname"]. "<br>";
}
} else {
echo "0 results";
}
?>

 Update Operation: Update Operation MySQL Query is used to UPDATE data in
database by passing column names and values with WHERE clause identifying the row.
Fig:1.5 showing Update operation in PHP
 Delete Operation: Delete Operation MySQL Query is used to DELETE data from
database by simply using WHERE clause to identify row.
Fig: 1.6 Showing Delete operation in Php
Note: I used the php language to work on the web application back-end like connecting to the
offline Database and table.
<?php
$dbname = "myDB";
$conn = mysqli_connect($servername, $username, $password, $dbname);
// Check connection
$sql = "UPDATE MyGuests SET lastname='Oghenetejiri' WHERE id=2";
echo "Record updated successfully";
} else {
echo "Error updating record: " . mysqli_error($conn);
}
?>
<?php
$conn = mysqli_connect($servername, $username, $password,
$dbname);
// sql to delete a record
$sql = "DELETE FROM MyGuests WHERE id=3";
echo "Record deleted successfully";
} else {
echo "Error deleting record: " . mysqli_error($conn);
}
?>

3.3 INTRODUCTION TO HTML: HTML stands for Hypertext Markup Language, and it is the
most widely used language to write Web Pages.
Hypertext refers to the way in which Web pages (HTML documents) are linked together.
Thus, the link available on a webpage is called Hypertext.
As its name suggests, HTML is a Markup Language which means you use HTML to simply
"mark-up" a text document with tags that tell a Web browser how to structure it to display.
Originally, HTML was developed with the intent of defining the structure of documents like
headings, paragraphs, lists, and so forth to facilitate the sharing of scientific information
between researchers. Now, HTML is being widely used to format web pages with the help of
different tags available in HTML language. HTML have file extension (index.html)
Description of HTML Example
DOCTYPE: It defines the document type.
html: Text between html tag describes the web document.
body: Text between body tag describes the body content of the page that is visible to the end user.
h1: Text between h1 tag describes the heading of the webpage.
p: Text between p tag describes the paragraph of the webpage.
Features of HTML
1) It is a very easy and simple language. It can be easily understood and modified.
2) It is very easy to make effective presentation with HTML because it has a lot of formatting tags.
3) It is a markup language so it provides a flexible way to design web pages along with the text.
4) It facilitates programmers to add link on the web pages (by html anchor tag) , so it enhances the
interest of browsing of the user.
5) It is platform-independent because it can be displayed on any platform like Windows, Linux and
Macintosh etc.
6) It facilitates the programmer to add Graphics, Videos, and Sound to the web pages which makes
it more attractive and interactive.
Note: I usedthe html to make myfront-end,designingof forms.

3.4 INTRODUCTION TO CSS: Cascading Style Sheets, fondly referred to as CSS, is a
simple design language intended to simplify the process of making web pages presentable.
CSS handles the look and feel part of a web page. Using CSS, you can control the color of the text,
the style of fonts, the spacing between paragraphs, how columns are sized and laid out, what
background images or colors are used, layout designs, variations in display for different devices and
screen sizes as well as a variety of other effects.
CSS is easy to learn and understand but it provides powerful control over the presentation of an
HTML document. Most commonly, CSS is combined with the markup languages HTML or
XHTML. CSS have file extension (.css)
It can be embedded on the html file or link into the html file.
Advantages ofCSS
 CSS saves time − You can write CSS once and then reuse same sheet in multiple HTML
pages. You can define a style for each HTML element and apply it to as many Web pages as
you want.
 Pages load faster − If you are using CSS, you do not need to write HTML tag attributes
every time. Just write one CSS rule of a tag and apply it to all the occurrences of that tag. So
less code means faster download times.
 Easy maintenance − To make a global change, simply change the style, and all elements in
all the web pages will be updated automatically.
 Superior styles to HTML − CSS has a much wider array of attributes than HTML, so you
can give a far better look to your HTML page in comparison to HTML attributes.
 Multiple Device Compatibility − Style sheets allow content to be optimized for more than
one type of device. By using the same HTML document, different versions of a website can
be presented for handheld devices such as PDAs and cell phones or for printing.
 Global web standards − Now HTML attributes are being deprecated and it is being
recommended to use CSS. So it’s a good idea to start using CSS in all the HTML pages to
make them compatible to future browsers.
Note : I used the Css to stylish or format html front page to make it users friendly.

3.5 INTRODUCTION TO JAVASCRIPT AND JQUERY: JavaScript is an object-based
scripting language which is lightweight and cross-platform.
JavaScript is not a compiled language, but it is a translated language. The JavaScript Translator
(embedded in the browser) is responsible for translating the JavaScript code for the web browser.
Application of JavaScript
JavaScript is used to create interactive websites. It is mainly used for:
 Client-side validation,
 Dynamic drop-down menus,
 Displaying date and time,
 Displaying pop-up windows and dialog boxes (like an alert dialog box, confirm dialog box
and prompt dialog box),
 Displaying clocks etc.
JQUERY: jQuery is a lightweight, "write less, do more", JavaScript library. The purpose of jQuery
is to make it much easier to use JavaScript on your website. jQuery takes a lot of common tasks that
require many lines of JavaScript code to accomplish, and wraps them into methods that you can call
with a single line of code.
jQuery also simplifies a lot of the complicated things from JavaScript, like AJAX calls and DOM
manipulation.
The jQuery library contains the following features:
 HTML/DOM manipulation
 CSS manipulation
 HTML event methods
 Effects and animations
 AJAX
 Utilities

3.6 Introduction to MySQL Database: MySQL is a fast, easy to use relational database. It
is currently the most popular open-source database. It is very commonly used in conjunction with
PHP scripts to create powerful and dynamic server-side applications.
MySQL is used for many small and big businesses. It is developed, marketed and supported by
MySQL AB, a Swedish company. It is written in C and C++.
Fig: showing MySQL database application
Reasonsofpopularity
MySQL is becoming so popular because of these following reasons:
MySQL is an open-source database so you don't have to pay a single penny to use it.
MySQL is a very powerful program so it can handle a large set of functionality of the most
expensive and powerful database packages.
MySQL is customizable because it is an open source database and the open-source GPL
license facilitates programmers to modify the SQL software according to their own specific
environment.
MySQL is quicker than other databases so it can work well even with the large data set.

MySQL supports many operating systems with many languages like PHP, PERL, C, C++,
JAVA, etc.
MySQL uses a standard form of the well-known SQL data language.
MySQL is very friendly with PHP, the most popular language for web development.
MySQL supports large databases, up to 50 million rows or more in a table. The default file
size limit for a table is 4GB, but you can increase this (if your operating system can handle it)
to a theoretical limit of 8 million terabytes (TB).
MySQL Features
Relational Database Management System (RDBMS): MySQL is a relational database
management system.
Easy to use: MySQL is easy to use. You have to get only the basic knowledge of SQL. You
can build and interact with MySQL with only a few simple SQL statements.
It is secure: MySQL consist of a solid data security layer that protects sensitive data from
intruders. Passwords are encrypted in MySQL.
Client/ Server Architecture: MySQL follows a client /server architecture. There is a
database server (MySQL) and arbitrarily many clients (application programs), which
communicate with the server; that is, they query data, save changes, etc.
Free to download: MySQL is free to use and you can download it from MySQL official
website.
It is scalable: MySQL can handle almost any amount of data, up to as much as 50 million
rows or more. The default file size limit is about 4 GB. However, you can increase this number
to a theoretical limit of 8 TB of data.
Compatible on many operating systems: MySQL is compatible to run on many operating
systems, like Novell NetWare, Windows* Linux*, many varieties of UNIX* (such as Sun*
Solaris*, AIX, and DEC* UNIX), OS/2, FreeBSD*, and others. MySQL also provides a
facility that the clients can run on the same computer as the server or on another computer
(communication via a local network or the Internet).
Allows roll-back: MySQL allows transactions to be rolled back, commit and crash recovery.
High Performance: MySQL is faster, more reliable and cheaper because of its unique storage
engine architecture.
High Flexibility: MySQL supports a large number of embedded applications which makes
MySQL very flexible.
High Productivity: MySQL uses Triggers, Stored procedures and views which allows the
developer to give a higher productivity.

Disadvantages / Drawback of MySQL:
Following are the few disadvantages of MySQL:
 MySQL version less than 5.0 doesn't support ROLE, COMMIT and stored procedure.
 MySQL does not support a very large database size as efficiently.
 MySQL doesn't handle transactions very efficiently and it is prone to data corruption.
 MySQL is accused that it doesn't have a good developing and debugging tool compared to
paid databases.
 MySQL doesn't support SQL check constraints.
MySQL Data Types
A Data Type specifies a particular type of data, like integer, floating points, Boolean etc. It also
identifies the possible values for that type, the operations that can be performed on that type and the
way the values of that type are stored.
MySQL supports a lot number of SQL standard data types in various categories. It uses many
different data types broken into mainly three categories: numeric, date and time, and string types.

and manage databases. It includes everything a data modeler needs for creating complex ER models,
forward and reverse engineering, and also delivers key features for performing difficult change
management and documentation tasks that normally require much time and effort.
Develop
MySQL Workbench delivers visual tools for creating, executing, and optimizing SQL queries. The
SQL Editor provides color syntax highlighting, auto-complete, reuse of SQL snippets, and execution
history of SQL. The Database Connections Panel enables developers to easily manage standard
database connections, including MySQL Fabric. The Object Browser provides instant access to
database schema and objects.
Administer
MySQL Workbench provides a visual console to easily administer MySQL environments and gain
better visibility into databases. Developers and DBAs can use the visual tools for configuring servers,
administering users, performing backup and recovery, inspecting audit data, and viewing database
health.
Visual Performance Dashboard
MySQL Workbench provides a suite of tools to improve the performance of MySQL applications.
DBAs can quickly view key performance indicators using the Performance Dashboard. Performance
Reports provide easy identification and access to IO hotspots, high cost SQL statements, and more.
Plus, with 1 click, developers can see where to optimize their query with the improved and easy to
use Visual Explain Plan.
Database Migration
MySQL Workbench now provides a complete, easy to use solution for migrating Microsoft SQL
Server, Microsoft Access, Sybase ASE, PostgreSQL, and other RDBMS tables, objects and data to
MySQL. Developers and DBAs can quickly and easily convert existing applications to run on
MySQL both on Windows and other platforms. Migration also supports migrating from earlier
versions of MySQL to the latest releases.

3.8 TEXT EDITOR (IDE): A text editor is a software program that allows users to input
and edit text. A text editor is a computer program that lets a user enter, change, store,
and usually print text (characters and numbers, each encoded by the computer and its
input and outputdevices, arranged to have meaning to users or to other programs). The
term editor is commonly used to refer to a text editor, which is a software program
that allows users to create or manipulate plain text computer files. They are often used
in the field of computer programming. E.g Notepad++, Dreamweaver, Sublime Text3,
Visual Studio Code and Atom etc.
How to Connect to Notepad++ to Lives server, download notepad++ and install it and
download Notepad++ Ftp Plugins then it will display a form connectwhich it will ask
for the site Url and username and password then connect. I use it to edit my lives site
host.

CHAPTER FOUR
PROJECTS STARTED AND COMPLETED DURING THE SIWES
During my six-months industrial training at Elizade university i.c.t unit I was able to use the
programming languages I learned to build some web Applications which includes the following
4.0 Secondary school Management System: The Secondary school management
system is designed mainly for Secondary schools. It has 8 modules. Students, Teacher, Vice-principal,
Principal, Copper, Accouter, Administrator and admission modules. It can be used to manage the
student data; teachers and coppers can upload students results with csv file format and manually. It
was developed with html,css, javascript and php.
4.1 Online Computer Based Test System: This system is design for both secondary
school and higher institution, it structures for teachers and lecturers to upload their Questions and
answers at their Desk, setup time for the quiz, when the quiz or test should start and when it should
end. The system has both students and staff Modules. If test is available students that eligible to take
the quiz will see it on their notification dashboard and click on it and Attempt the Quiz or Test.

4.4 Electronic Course Registration System: This system is designed for higher
institutions where students can carry out their semester course registration. The system has 5
Modules, administrator, students, HOD, Faculty Officer and lecturers. Both students and HODs,
Lecturers and Faculty Officer have one login interface, the system authenticate their login base on
their status. On the student module, when student login, it authenticates the student to it dashboard,
the system is programmed to send an email notification to head of the department of the student for
approver of the course registration, when the head of department approved there is also an email
notification that will also sent to student for the student to print the course detail

All the projects are built with HTML and PHP, CSS, MYSQL, JavaScript
and JQuery.

CHAPTER FIVE
4.0 Knowledge Gained During The SIWES Exercise
The student industrial work experience scheme (siwes) exercise has contributed greatly in my
academic carrier, because I have gain some experience which is very useful to my field of study. The
first advantage acquires during my industrial training programmed was that I was taught
Programming Languages i.e HTML, CSS, PHP, JavaScript, JQuery and MySQL Database, how they
interact together to build web application and Some Database Administrator Tools I.e Microsoft
Excel and MySQL Workbench to manage and manipulate Database data.
I also gain some knowledge how to connect to lives Server Database and Edit my live website with
MySQL Workbench and Notepad++ e.t.c.
Finally, my perception about Database Administrator and as Programmer has been greatly widely
broadening. It gives me the opportunity to gain first experience of the profession even though it was
not easy.

CHAPTER SIX
6.0 OBSERVATIONS
 As a student my first observation was the cognition of the difference between
the school environment and the labour market, as it is a different ball game
entirely.
 Neatness was also a key attribute as even though the job is usually seen as a
Stressful job.
 Communication played a vital role in the successful execution of jobs, from
among personnel’s in a section to departments communicating with other
departments present in the I.C.T.
6.1 CONTRIBUTIONS
My contributions were shown in my work done and services given as a Programmer in the ICT. I
majorly help in setting up and configuration of staffs and students laptops on the university network,
I was also help my section in setting up Desktop for the university General Studies Examinations
(GST) both stream 1 and 2.
6.2 RELEVANCE OF EXPERIENCE GAINED TO CLASSROOM KNOWLEDGE
The relevance of the experience gained can be linked to the following courses;
CSC321 Web Application Programming
CSC305 Database Systems

6.3 Conclusion
My 6 months’ industrial attachment as a junior Programmer at Elizade University I.C.T Units was a
huge success and a great time of acquisition of knowledge and skills. Through my training I was able
to appreciate my chosen course of study even more, because I had the opportunity to blend the
theoretical knowledge acquired from school with the practical hands-on application of knowledge
gained here to perform very important tasks that contributed in a way to my productivity in the Career.
My training here has given me a broader view to the importance and relevance of Computer Science
in the immediate society and the world as a whole, as I now look forward to impacting it positively
after graduation. I have also been able to improve my communication and presentation skills and
thereby developed good relationship with my fellow colleagues at work. I have also been able to
appreciate the connection between my course of study and other disciplines in producing a successful
result.
6.1 RECOMMENDATION
i. I like to use this medium to explore the federal Government at all stage to take this SIWES
programmed more seriously seen by the students of applied science as a virtual improvement in future
of technology in our nature.
ii. Government should also ensure a proper supervision of SIWES student so that the purpose of the
programmed will be achieved.
iii. The federal Government should make adequate provision in the annual budget for proper funding
of SIWES in view of the potential of the scheme to contribute to enhancing the quality of the pool to
technical skill available to the economy.
iv. A comprehensive and detail directory of employer who accept students for SIWES is urgently
required to facilitate placement of student in industry.
v. In order to guarantee quality assurance of institution and the ITF. The ITF should ensure that the
backlog in payment of student’s allowance is cleared urgently to remove the negative image being
created for SIWES.
vi. Allowances should be paid to students during their programmed just like NYSC and not after.
This would help them a great deal to handle some financial problems during their training course.
6.2 CHALLENGES ENCOUNTEREDDURING PERIOD OF TRAINING
 I have a challenge on how to implement online SchoolFees Payment Gateway.
 Also have challenge when Retrieving Questions and answers on the quiz portal
 I also have challenge on student cumulative grade point average computation.
