1.1 Overview of SIWES
SIWES refers to the employment of students nearing under-graduation in forms and organizations, which operate on activities related to the respective student’s major subjects.
The course, CIT 323 as offered in Bowen University is a compulsory subject offered by every computer science student in the second semester of the third academic year with the objective of enabling students to come in contact with real life applications regarding the knowledge and skills gained in both theoretical and practical courses of the university.
The core courses of computer science offered by Bowen University are both theory and practical based and aid in providing a theoretical concept to the students so that they are equipped with sufficient knowledge for joining the work force after completion of the university.

• Helping students break free from the theoretical world of textbooks and class courses and leap into the real world of applications of knowledge.
