CHAPTER TWO

3.1 TASK 2: WATCH KEEPIN OF AN ENGINE

Watch keeping of an engine is a term that refers to the monitoring and

maintenance of an engine to ensure that it operates safely and efficiently. It

typically involves regular checks and inspections to ensure that the engine is

in good condition, as well as taking steps to prevent any potential problems

from occurring. Watch keeping may involve tasks such as checking oil

levels, monitoring engine temperature, and making sure that all components

are functioning correctly. This is important for the safe and reliable

operation of the engine, as well as for prolonging its lifespan.

 3.3 METHOD

We used the schematic meantaince log book given by our instructor as a

guide in building the circuit using the components mentioned above.

3.4 NUMBER OF PERSONS IN THE TEAM

• We were two in number that carried out this task including our instructor

(that’s to say, One IT students, one trainee and the instructor).

3.5 DUTY IN THE TEAM

• As a group work, I was tasked with the checking of Engine (generator)

oil level and fuel level and also tasked to start the Engine ( Generator).

 CHAPTER THREE

• 4.1 INSTALLATION OF A TURBOCHARGER

• A turbocharger is a device that increases the power output of an engine

by forcing more air into the combustion chamber. It consists of two

main parts: a turbine and a compressor.

• The turbine is driven by the exhaust gases from the engine, which spins

the compressor. The compressor increases the pressure of the air

entering the engine, which allows more fuel to be burned and generates

more power.

• Turbochargers are commonly used in diesel engines and gasoline

engines to increase their power and efficiency. They can also be used to

improve fuel economy by allowing the engine to run at a lower RPM,

which reduces fuel consumption.

4.2 MATERIALS USED

• Screwdrivers
 • pliers

• Torque wrenches

4.3 METHOD

• Preparation: Make sure the engine is clean and free of debris. If the

turbocharger is being installed on a new engine, make sure it is properly

lubricated.

• Mounting: Secure the turbocharger to the engine using the appropriate

hardware. This may involve attaching it to the exhaust manifold or using

mounting brackets.

• Connections: Connect the turbocharger to the engine's oil and coolant

lines, as well as the air intake and exhaust systems.

4.4 NUMBER OF PERSONS IN THE TEAM

• We were fourteen in number that carried out this task including our

instructor (that’s to say, four IT students and ten trainee and the

instructor).

4.5 DUTY IN THE TEAM

• help with the mouning of the turborcharger by holding components in the

place or passing tools to the mechanic.

5.1 CONCLUSION

My four (6) months of industrial attachment as a mechanical engineer at

Jogico Nigeria Limited 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 in

society.

My training here has given me a broader view of the importance and

relevance of mechanical engineers in the immediate society and the world as

a whole, as I now look forward to impacting it positively after graduation.

5.2 RECOMMENDATION:

Although SIWES underwent did achieve quite a lot of its objectives.

Nevertheless, I use this means to make the following recommendations

concerning the training of students in Industrial Attachments:

• I would like to recommend that the Engineering curriculum in the Niger

Delta University be adjusted such as would provide going on industrial

attachments for a longer period as opposed to 4 months or making the

program occur twice throughout an engineering degree program.

• I would like to recommend that the Engineering curriculum in the Niger

Delta University be adjusted such as would provide going on industrial

attachments for a longer period of time as opposed to 4 months or

making the program to occur two or three times throughout an

engineering degree program.
