As a nation, we have made very little progress in our attempt to develop over the years. For any meaningful social and economic advancement in the environment in which we find ourselves, it was realised that there is the need to increase and improve the country's middle level manpower. The implementation of Bachelor of Technology courses in the county was aimed at raising the working force of the middle level manpower both in quality and quantity. In view of this, every student pursuing the course is to undertake some practical training in the field of study. This helps the students acquire skills, knowledge and curret technological development in our various industries and leads to the appreciation of some phases of their course outside the lecture halls.
This report is divided into chapters, it begins with orientation and followed by description of job offered and problems encountered before and during the period of the attachment. In the final analysis the experience I acquired in undertaking the attachment are summarised.
