ABSTRACT
The technical industrial training report is well written for the study of automobile and their engines for the students of tertiary institutions. The sequence in which the topics were presented in this article is quite commendable. The materials are well presented in a way that is easily comprehendible by the reader. The operative words are first defined and explained in a manner preparatory to their further and more detailed treatment in subsequent chapters. Like the third chapter, which talks about the history of automobile, how it was invented, the people that worked assiduously to seeing that it did not only remain a challenge that seems insurmountable but a reality. To the second chapter which discusses about the engines of the automobile, it’s complex nature, the different component that makes up an engine and how they work in one accord to bring about the efficiency of the engine. Of course we know that air is very important in every thing we do, both in our vehicles. Which leads us to that fifth chapter which talks about the role of air in the braking system of an automobile. The stages it passes to ensure the effective braking of an automobile etc. The diagrams/ pictures following almost all the topics are well designed to introduce the audience to known better the kind of automobile he/she has been using all this while. Finally, I give my strong recommendation on this report not only to students of engineering but to the society at large.
