Guidelines for Writing Industrial Training Reports

A trainee is expected to submit a report to the academic advisor when


he/she completes his/her training. This document presents guidelines on how
to write the industrial training report. It consists of three main parts:

A. Report contents, which is the main part of the report.


B. Report formatting in which the spacing, font size, margins and other
specifications are described.
C. Industrial training grade distribution.

Training Report Contents

The training report should include the following:

1. Cover page: the student should follow the standard cover page
attached.

2. Table of contents: the table of contents should include all sections of


the report and their corresponding page numbers. All headings and sub-
heading must be included (the word processor can be used to generate
an automatic table of contents).

3. List of figures and list of tables: All figures and tables should be
listed directly after the table of contents. The list should include: Figure
or Table Number., title, and page number. An example is shown:

Figure No. Title Page No.

4. Acknowledgement (optional): the student is encouraged to


acknowledge the company in which he has been trained at and the
assistance given to him by all of those who supervised him/her in the
training organization. In addition, it is appropriate to recognize the
follow-up and advice given to him by the academic supervisors.

5. Summary: the summery should provide a concise brief of the training


report. The student mentions the company name, the department(s)
specifically he/she worked in, training period, and the type of work and
tasks given to him/her. The summary should be between 100 to 200
words.
6. Introduction: the student should itemize clearly the tasks performed
during the training period. The student can provide and discuss the
training program given to him/her here in the introduction.

7. The Company profile or organizational chart.

8. Body of Report: the body is the main part of the report. The student in
the body should detail the work performed and achievements during the
training period. Each task or project performed can be placed in a
separate section within the body.

9. Conclusions and Recommendations: in this last section of the report,


the student should conclude his/her training and state the
recommendations regarding the training, such as: benefits, weaknesses,
level and appropriateness of the work performed, length of the training
period, etc…

10. Appendices: the student should include all supplementary documents


that supported his/her report in lettered appendices (Appendix A, B, C,
…)

Training Report Formatting

1. Length: the length of the report should be between 15-20 pages


including the cover page, summary, table of contents, list of figures, list
of tables, and acknowledgement.

2. Script and Page Format: The report should be typed using a word
processor. Standard A4 (21.0 cm× 29.7 cm) paper size should be used.
A conventional font, size 12-point, 10 to 12 characters per inch should
be used. Line spacing should be 1.5.

3. Margins: Left-hand margins should have a width of not less than


38mm, to facilitate binding. The right-hand, the top, and the bottom
margins should be 25mm.

4. Paper and Print Quality: Paper and print quality are important for
successful legibility. The report can be printed on standard quality paper
(e.g., photocopy paper).

5. Pagination: Positioning of page numbers is optional. Pages starting


from the summary until the list of tables should be numbered using Latin
numbers (I, II, III, IV …). Pages starting from the introduction until the
appendices should be numbered using Arabic numbers (1, 2, 3, 4 …).
Pages with figures or tables or illustrations must be also numbered.

6. Binding: The report should be bound in ring or spring binders.

1. Company Assessment Form (20%)


The training supervisor at the company should assess the student based
on compliance with the training program, independence, achievements,
contribution, teamwork, and signs of responsibility, personal behavior,
and punctuality.

2. Attendance (40%)
Student attendance is evaluated according to the University attendance
rules. A student absence in excess of 5 days of the total assigned period
will result in automatic failure of the student from the course. For each
unexcused absence, a student will be deprived 4 marks of the
attendance allocated mark, i.e. a student with 4 absences will score (40-
4X4) 24 out of 40 for attendance at the end of the training period.

3. Academic Supervisor Assessment Form (10%)


Academic advisor assessment is based on visits to the training company
where the advisor assesses the trainee commitment, attitude and signs
of responsibility towards his training. A minimum of two visits will be
conducted for follow-up and assessment. The students are not
necessarily to be informed about the timings of these visits.

4. Training Report (30%)


The training report must be submitted to the academic supervisor no later
than 30th September 2008. The report should comply totally with the
requirements stated earlier in contents and formatting. The student has to
present his/her report before a committee of two academic staff. The
presentation must be made using Microsoft power point for ten minutes
including discussion and questions. The specific dates for presentation will
be announced at the beginning of the first semester. The presentation is
mandatory for successful completion of the course. The weight of the
presentation is thirty percent (30%) of the report grade. Attendance of all
students during the presentation is mandatory, too. Diploma students are
excluded from the presentations.
