My first week was exciting because it required me to learn more about the company for which I will be working. I've spent the last week going through the Ram & Sons Auto policies and procedures manual and taking copious notes. Ram & Sons Auto Inc. is a company that works in the Automotive Repair and Maintenance industry and is based in Baltimore, Maryland. This industry group includes businesses that provide repair and maintenance services for automobiles, such as cars, trucks, and vans, as well as trailers. Mechanics with particular technical skills are employed by businesses in this industrial category to diagnose and repair the mechanical and electrical systems of automobiles.
Skills required
· Using automated diagnostic tools to inspect all electrical aspects of the vehicle to find issues.
· To keep reliable records, you must read, evaluate, and transcribe data.
· Wide and local area network design, installation, administration, and maintenance
· Maintain, install, and troubleshoot computer and printing systems.
· Willingness to learn with hands-on
· Maintain a professional appearance

Week Tasks
Maintenance of the computer and its network
We viewed the company's overall alignment structure, computer room, and fundamental functioning of the equipment during the first three days of the internship. I used to conduct practical training in the computer room as an intern, starting with the most basic hardware knowledge, such as disassembly, installation, and so on, and gradually progressing to in-depth network aspects, such as network cable production, router/switch configuration, and network topology design, and so on.
My office colleagues also offered me certain rules and regulations about the company's operations and computer network maintenance; so that I have a good understanding of the company's operations and computer network maintenance. The company's computer equipment has fewer issues in general. Graphics cards, sound cards, network cards, motherboard failures, memory, and hard disk failures are all examples of computer hardware failures.
On the fourth day of my internship, a computer used to diagnose transmission faults had a dark screen. I used a step-by-step approach to analyzing the monitor's failure and resolving the issue. I first checked the host's power, and then confirmed that the monitor's power-on was normal and that the video card was in good contact with the monitor's signal connection. Then I checked the display card installation and the motherboard plug by opening the tip of the chassis and wiped the display card installation and the motherboard plug to check whether the slot is in good contact. As a result, it was found that the slot had been cleaned for a long time due to dust accumulation, which caused poor contact. After cleaning, it is displayed normally.
Smart Cars are a new term in the automobile business that I learned about this week. A smart car is one that can connect to wireless networks and control key functions from a distance (Letaief et al., 2019). It lets software applications and cars to connect with one other through an application programming interface (API) in a car. A cellular modem is installed in a smart car, allowing owners to access their car brand's services app and unlock it from a smartphone, preheat the batteries, and so on.
