5. Wukro klteablailo
 6. Wukro agricultural colleage

1.4Work flow and Overall Organization of the Company

1.4.1 Work flow

Workflow is the process how the Company is performed its work. I can see the workflow of the
Company in two types.

Governmental or Non-governmental workflow

There is an agreement between them .Their agreement is performed within six
months .Regularly in six months they pay birr based on the agreement .There are four
agreements .Those are the following.

 A service: this is for service of oil and oil filter in 5000 km distance.

 B service: this is for service of oil, oil filter and fuel filter in 10000 km distance.

 C service: this is for service of oil, oil filter, fuel filter, and check for disc and drum
brakes, suspension in 15000 km distance.

 D service: this is for service of oil, oil filter, fuel filter and maintenance of disk and drum
brakes, suspension in 20000 km distance.

Personal vehicles work flow

This workflow is varying from the above. The owner directly goes to general service manager
and he check the problem of the vehicle and command for owner to buy material. After
servicing the owner pays birr in finance office. Finally the owner takes his/her vehicle.

2.2.4 Battery
 Battery is the primary source of all electrical system.

 Battery is a device which converts chemical energy into electrical energy.

Figure 6 Battery

The battery has a purpose of;

 Supplying current for consumers while the engine is in stationary.
  Supplying more current to starter motor in order to start the engine .

Therefore, if the engine fails to start, first see the battery.

Battery Charging

Figure 7 Battery charging

Battery can be charging either on the vehicle or removed from the vehicle. When charging is
taken, proper connection must be fulfilled because incorrect connections destroy rectifier
diodes and voltage regulator. Using hydrometer (which has three colour), we can know the
condition of the battery. Therefore, check the indicator once every three months. Different
colors represent different battery status.

Figure 8 Green and Black and white

 Green color indicates normal status with adequate power which is enough to start the
vehicle

 Black color indicates deficit in power that needs to be recharged.

 White color in some vehicle red color indicates lack of electrolyte or failure, then the
battery should be replaced.
Battery can be charging in;

 series or

 Parallel

2.2.5 Brake
Brake is the opposite of motion.

In the company l see hydraulic brake system which is type of brake system.

Brake system is used to slow/stop the motion of the car. The friction of the tires against the
road is what slows down or stops a car. The brake system slows or stops the rotation of the car.

The brake system converts the motion of the car in to heat by slowing and stopping the car's
wheel. This is done by causing friction at the wheels. In spite of there are three types of brake
system, l see the hydraulic brake system.
Figure 9 Brake
Hydraulic Brake system
 Hydraulic is the use of a liquid under pressure to transfer force or motion.

 It can also use to increase an applied force.

Figure 10 Hydraulic brake

Principle of Hydraulic Brake System
Hydraulic brake work on the principle of Pascal's law which states that

"Pressure at a point in a fluid is equally disturbed in all directions in space””. According to this
law when pressure is applied on a fluid, it travels equally in all direction. So that uniform
braking action is applied in all rotating wheels.

Components of Brake
Brake system has different component. Let mention some of them.
  Brake drum

 Is specially made up of cast iron.

 It is position very close to brake shoe without touching.

 It rotates with wheel and axle.

Figure 11 Brake drum

 Disc brake

 is bolted to the wheel hub and stationary caliper unit which straddles the disc

Main components break pad, caliper, rotor.

Figure 12 Disc brake

 Brake fluid

 Brake fluids are used to transfer force in to pressure.

 Brake fluids are liquids that are used to transfer force into pressure. This works because
liquids are incompressible.

 Brake fluids are not petroleum based because oils damage rubber seals and hoses in the
brake system.
  Brake shoes

 Are made up of two pieces of sheet metal steel.

 Are mostly serviced parts of brake system.

 They make contact with brake drum.

Figure 13 Brake shoes

 master cylinder

 The master cylinder transmits the pressure on the brake pedal to each of the four wheel
brakes to stop the car.

 lt converts the force exerted on the brake pedal into hydraulic pressure.

 The pressure created in the master cylinder, displaces fluid through the various brake
circuit.

Figure 14 Master cylinder

 Wheel cylinder
  Is a component in a drum brake.

 It is usually placed at the top of the brake shoes and located in each wheel .

Figure 15 Wheel cylinder

Brake Troubleshooting

Table 4: Troubleshooting of brake system

2.2.6 Clutch system

The clutch is located between the transmission and engine, which provides a mechanical
coupling between the engine's flywheel and the transmission's input shaft. The driver operates
the clutch through the bell housing between the engine and the transmission.

Figure 16 Clutch
Clutch components and their functions
  Flywheel:-provides a friction surface to the clutch.

Figure 17 Flywheel
 Clutch disc:-grooves are cut into the friction material to aid cooling and release of the
clutch disc.

Figure 18 Clutch disc

 Pressure plate assembly:-This part of clutch makes contact with release bearing. In spite
of there are two types of pressure plates in the company I see the diaphragm type
pressure plate.

Figure 19 Pressure plate

  Slave Cylinders: - is found an same cars and light trucks. These units are actually a
combination of the slave cylinder and the clutch release bearing.

Operation of Clutch
1. When the driver depresses the clutch pedal, the clutch master cylinder actuates the
servo cylinder, which pushes the fork and the fork put force to release bearing in order
to disengage the engine from transmission that is power is stop to transmit from engine
to transmission.

2. When the driver releases the clutch pedal, the clutch master cylinder is not actuate then
the release bearing returns to its original position which allows to transmit power from
engine to transmission.

Clutch Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting is a problem that disables the clutch system. The table below shows
problem that can be create in clutch system.

problems cause action

clutch slips No clutch pedal free-play check and rectify

weak clutch pressure springs replace clutch assembly

Noises Loose driven plate hub Replace driven plate

Damaged or worn release Replace

bearing

Damaged or worn pilot

Replace

Table 5: Clutch Troubleshooting

2.2.3 Company Tools
Measuring tools: are tools which are used to measure inner diameter, outer diameter,
clearance, run-out, depth etc. Example used in the company;

 Vernier caliper: A vernier caliper is a measuring tool that can make inside, outside or depth
measurements .a vernier scale consists of a stationery scale and movable scale.

Figure 20 Vernier caliper

 Feeler gauge

Is usually used to measure;

 valve clearance

 piston ring side clearance

 crankshaft end play

 gaps of spark plugs

Figure 21 Feeler gauge

  Micrometer- is used to measure outer dimension. Measuring by micrometer is more
accurate than measuring by caliper.

Figure 22 Micrometer
Hand tools: most service procedures require the use of hand tools; therefore, technician
needs a wide assortment of hand tools. Each has a specific job and should be used in a specific
way. Examples of hand tools;

 Wrench-is a tool used for twisting bolt heads and nut. Nearly all bolts heads and nuts
have six sides, the jaw of a wrench fits around these side to turn the bolt and nut .

Figure 23 : wrench
 Jacks and Lifters

Jack is used to raise a vehicle off the ground to a high position. The most common jack is
hydraulic floor jack. Those jacks are controlled by moving the handle up and down.

 Floor Jack
Is a portable unit mounted on wheels. The lifting pad on the jack is placed under the chassis of
the vehicle and the jack handle is operated with a pumping action. This force fluid to a hydraulic
cylinder in the jack and the cylinder extends to force the jack lift pad up ward and to lift the
vehicle. To release the hydraulic pressure and lower the vehicle, the handle must be release
slowly. When a vehicle rises by floor jack, it should be supported by safety stands.

Figure 24 floor jack

2.3 Procedures and methods followed during the internship

 Preparing plan for activities should have to perform during the internship
 Attending punctually each working days
 Prepare a short review of daily activities at the end of each working days
 Paying attention and asking about anything that is not clear
Listen carefully and take notes

2.4 Major challenge

 Safety
 There was no available safety shoe, gloves, glass/during welding/
 Lack of reference & manuals in the company
 Some tasks are done by experience, not according to the manual
 The guards don’t let us to enter the company
 Because of some machines without manuals have complicated structures they were
difficult for me to understand easily.
  The major challenge was meeting.
 Shortage in language because the technicians use ITALY language to call the vehicle
parts.

2.5 Measures I have taken to overcome those challenges

In order to overcome the challenges

1. difficult to access transportation

2. I use public transportation to transport with payment from my pocket.

3. Lack of library access to read manual and some references about the operation machine
also lack of recorded data.

By asking the worker and with concerned persons .

4. Continuous familiarizes with technicians.

CHAPTER THREE

THE OVERALL BENEFITS I GAINED FROM INTERNSHIP

3.1Introduction
This internship program is very essential program to me. Because this internship program
develops my theoretical skill in to practically skill and share different idea with my community.
It also gives me the way to decide my future job and company. The benefits that I gained from
the internship program are listed below.

3.2 Practical Skill

Practical skills are connected with real situation rather than idea and theories. The main aim of
the internship is developing practical skills, so the following points are mentioned in terms of
improving practical skill.
  It enables me to improve my practical skills in the maintenance and repair different
ToYoTA, TATA vehicles engines.

 It improves my knowledge about the working mechanism different parts of light vehicle
engines.

 It improve my knowledge of how can assemble and disassemble the engine parts ,
clutch parts, transmission parts, engine systems, suspension part, brake parts(disc brake
and drum brake ) etc. of light vehicles in order to maintenance/service, repaired or
replace parts.

3.3 Theoretical Knowledge

The internship program has a great role in terms of up grading my theoretical knowledge. It
helps me to gain more theoretical knowledge related to the real world. For example About
engine components like crank shaft, cam shaft, turbocharger ,about fans, gears, oil ring,
compression ring, connecting rod ,piston, cylinder head, cylinder block, valve etc. Engine
systems like stator motor, alternative, ignition pump, etc. The above listed & others where I
learnt in different courses theoretically are basically broader of my theoretical knowledge in the
garage.

My internship period was also the time for me to know new theoretical things. I was
working my internship with well-experienced technicians and other workers. I get many new
theoretical things by talking and asking technicians and also the labors. On garage when I am
with technicians, I asked them question which is not clear for me and they give answer to me
briefly, it was my first theoretical resource. By doing these activities I was trying to improve my
theoretical knowledge.

3.4 Inter Personal Communication Skill

Communication skill was so important for me in my internship period. It helps me to
know new things from the company workers, from the company technicians and from daily
labors. I have to be good communicator to all, because most of them are more experienced at
that place than me, so by communicating them I can get many new theoretical as well as
practical things. Starting from the first day I went to site I decided that to communicate well as
much as I can. And I try to do that in my internship period.

As we know, to have such place the behavior of good interpersonal communication has great
value because one person may judge you from your speaking whether you are talented or not.
So the two month and twenty days I past in Tesfay Gebremedhin Tigray garage (wedi Massa)
were good enough for improving my interpersonal communication skill with different workers
of the company because nothing is to be hide there. Since most things are done openly. This
phenomenon makes us to communicate freely with the workers.

3.5 Team Playing Skill

On my internship period also I improve my team playing skill, even if mostly I work my campus
friends, but our team was great. Mostly we move as a team not individually, so that we do
more things as a team than individually. Practical teamwork is good, because when we work as
a team we share many new ideas. As I mentioned above teamwork is more effective than
individual work. I got benefits by working my internship with my friends though many ways like
sharing documents, Handouts, softcopies and other useable things. This internship has a core
point during the team work by sharing different ideas theoretical knowledge and practical skill
with different student that have different performance that join to the company from different
university and my classmates who are intern in the garage.

I gate a good knowledge how to identified and solve a specific problem by discussing and
understanding in team together.

3.6 Leadership Skill

Leadership is the process of influencing others to work towards the achievement of
some specified objectives. Leadership is one of the functions of management which includes
planning, organizing, leading and controlling overall activities. In the project there are different
leaders from top position to lower position. I have not involved in leading activity that needs
decision. But I was following and understanding attentively the managing and leading system in
the company. In all leading activity I have gained and improved the following skills.

 Being decision maker in short time.

 In decision making process decide in cool way and avoiding deciding based on
emotional actions.

 Planning & preparing work programs for future works to reduce work
congestion.

 evaluating each and every work on each day and immediately.

 Following the activity of the project nearly.

 Developing sense of responsibility in all workers.

 How to establish direction as leader of a team

 How to align people

 How to motivate and inspire people

 How to focus on team and overall goals

 How to communicate with each people

 How to be honest on your action

 How I can punctual

3.7 Work Ethics

Work ethics is very important for one worker. When I was on my internship, mean that
when I was one of the workers of the company, I can’t say confidently about my work ethics
because ethics is my personality, so I believe that I do the right one which expected from me.
But I can say that my work ethics was good for me, because I was punctual, I do the work what I
have to do and I communicate well to the workers and so on. That is the reasons why I said that
my work ethics good. But you can get my real work ethics from my evaluation paper using
values like;

 To be on time at work and leave work by right time

 To be responsible in analyzing, interpreting and gathering data

 To be truthful in professional report that is submitted to the research

 To be respective to each other Punctuality

3.8 Entrepreneurship Skill

An entrepreneur ship is the process of creating something new with value by devoting the
necessary time and effort, assuming the necessary risks and expecting rewards for under taking.
Or entrepreneurship is the ability and capability of someone to create new or modified works
or technologies that can add new thing for the present. Over the internship semester I have
gained the following skills under this circumstance.

 Make myself free from the limit of standardized pay for standardized work.

 Avoid things that limit me to do some new innovations.

 Be Free from routine, boring and unchallenged jobs and it makes me

interested in.

 High need for achievement of my own goal.

 As an engineer I respect persons and punctual on my professional tasks.

CONCLUSION AND RECOMMONDATION

4.1. CONCLUSIONS

The objective of this internship program is to introducing technology students in to practical

environment in order to translate or develop their theoretical knowledge. In addition to this,
introduce the real engineering works and practical environments.

During the internship, I gained an experience to translate my theoretical knowledge that I dealt
in campus and also taught me about time management, discipline, effective communication
skills, entrepreneurship skill, and the use of team working.
The most interesting part of my internship program is that the atmosphere I was doing is
suitable. The hugeness of the project, the enrichment of the company with machineries,
equipment’s and man power, experienced engineers and other situations has lead me to be
confidential, well experienced and skilled. Some of the benefits that I gain due to internship
program are:

 Practical skills

 Upgrading of theoretical knowledge and able to use it for practical work.

 Developing of communication skill.

 Developing skill of team work.

 Improving personal ethics and knowing work ethics.

 Being able to do different tasks.

Generally, this internship program helps me to understand the real engineering works
and practical world environments that used for my future working world.

4.2. RECOMMENDATION
During my four months of internship experience period, I have seen some positive and
negative sides about the internship hosting company. In this part of my report I will try to
suggest some ideas for my internship hosting company and my university.

For My University

 The university should check upon the intern student at least twice in a month.

 The university should give enough money to its internship program students for their
basic needs like food, transporting and others by considering time.
  I would like to recommend that all engineering department should get enough
time to study. There is no rest in all days of the week. If there is no enough time
to study and rest, there is no successful at all.

For My Hosting company

 They should prepare specific task for intern student

 They should provide transportation for intern student

 Today’s intern students are the engineer for the future. The company will
goanna employ those students as an engineer after graduation. Therefore, for
intern students all the company employers shall give respect and encourage.
Since the students are working in the company, they will have some contribution
in different aspects for the company. Thinking of this, the company shall earn the
student and give various benefits at least giving few birr per month.

 It is recommended that the company should to give service on

heavy duty
 The company should be redesign for more wheel size in order to accommodate bigger
tires.
 It is recommended that to press greater than values of this design should be studied,
and based on that, all the parts values can be determined.
 It is recommended that to import some machines in order to minimalize employer
effort and
 The work place is narrow so, the company should use wide house in order to service
many vehicles
