 4.Work flow and Overall Organization of the Company
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.
 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
 OVERAL INTERNSHIP EXPERIENCE
Section where I have been working in
I have been involved in all workshops within the company, focusing
primarily on the engine, brake, battery, electrical system, and tool
shop. The company operates four main workshops where I have
gained extensive experience and knowledge in these specific areas
The Work Flow of the Section
The sub-hosting company's workflow was meticulously organized,
spanning from the highest level to the lowest level of the
company's workforce. Leading the hierarchy is the general service
manager, who oversees the operations. Below the general service
manage
 technicians

 finance
The workflow is efficient, with a team of skilled professionals
collaborating in their respective fields within the company.
Additionally, there are on-site mechanics available
The Work Task I Have Been Executing
I was involved in each work tasks where I have been executing
which includes;

 to inspect electrical parts

 assisting in the removal of an engine from vehicle for the

technician

 help during the maintenance of vehicle

ENGINE
Engine is the brain of the car which provides power to the car's
wheel. In present day automotive engines are internal combustion
that means the energy is created with in the engine. Engine
converts chemical energy into heat energy.

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 can be charging in;

 series or

 Parallel
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. 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

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

 Disc brake

 Brake fluid

 Brake shoes

 master cylinder

 Wheel cylinder
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
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.
THE OVERALL BENEFITS I GAINED FROM
INTERNSHIP

Practical Skill
Theoretical Knowledge
Entrepreneurship Skill
Team Playing Skill
Leadership Skill
Work Ethics
Inter Personal Communication Skill
CONCLUSIONS
The main goal of this internship initiative is to provide technology
students with hands-on experience in a practical setting to apply and
enhance their theoretical knowledge. Moreover, it aims to expose
participants to real-world engineering tasks and environments. During
my internship, I had the opportunity to put into practice the theoretical
concepts I had learned on campus. Additionally, I learned valuable skills
such as time management, discipline, effective communication,
entrepreneurship, and teamwork. One of the most captivating aspects of
my internship experience was the conducive working environment. The
scale of the projects, the abundance of machinery and equipment in the
company, the presence of experienced engineers, and other factors
contributed to my confidence, experience, and expertise. Some of
the advantages I gained from the internship program include
 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
