 ERN48 INDUSTRIAL TRAINING – I
The students are expected to gain a working experience in various departments of an
industry / organization and hence learning the industrial management in a practical way.

The students have to undergo a six months industrial training (PHASE I) during the IV
semester in a related industry / organization. During training period the students are maintaining
an Industrial diary to record their observation and learning. On completion of training, a training
report should be submitted to the Head of the Department. Industrial training of Sandwich students
will be evaluated based on Continuous Assessment of two periodical reviews and an End
semester Examination on Assessment of Training Report and viva-voce.

SANDWICH DIPLOMA COURSE - INDUSTRIAL TRAINING

1. Introduction

The main objective of the Sandwich Diploma Course is to mould a well-rounded

technician acclimated with industrial environment while being a student in the institution.

The Sandwich Diploma Course study is pursued by students, in 7 semesters of 3½ years

duration, the subjects of 3 years - Full Time Diploma Course being regrouped for academic
convenience.

While in the 4th semester students undergo Industrial Training-I for 6 months (December through
May). They also do course work in the institution for one day in a week, while in the 7 th semester
they undergo another spell of 6 months (June through November) Industrial training-II.

The Apprenticeship (Amendment) Act 1973 is followed in regulating the Industrial training
procedure for Sandwich Course.

First Spell - IV Semester (December - May)

Second Spell - VII Semester (June - November)

2. Attendance Certification

Every month students have to get their attendance certified by industrial supervisor in
the prescribed form. Students have also to put their signature on the form and submit it to the
institutional staff in-charge. Attendance and submission of Review reports will be duly
considered while awarding the Continuous Assessment mark.
Page 45 of 133
3. Training Reports

The students have to prepare two types of reports:

 Weekly report in the form of diary to be submitted to the concerned staff in-charge of the
institution. This will be reviewed while awarding Continuous Assessment mark.
 Comprehensive report at the end of each phase of Industrial Training will be reviewed
while awarding End semester Examination marks.

3.1 Industrial Training Diary

Students are required to maintain the record of day - to- day work done. Such record is
called Industrial training Diary. Students have to write this report regularly. All days of the week
should be accounted for clearly giving attendance particulars (Presence, Absence, Leave, and
Holiday etc.). The concerned Industrial supervisor is to check periodically these progress reports.

3.2 Comprehensive Training Report

In addition to the diary, students are required to submit a comprehensive report on training
with details of the organization where the training was undergone after attestation by the
supervisors. The comprehensive report should be incorporating study of plant/ product /process/
construction along with intensive in-depth study on any one of the topics such as processes,
methods, tooling, construction and equipment, highlighting aspects of quality, productivity and
system. The comprehensive report should be completed in the last week of Industrial training. Any
data, drawings etc should be incorporated with the consent of the Organization.

ERN74 INDUSTRIAL TRAINING – II

The students are expected to gain a working experience in various departments

of an industry / organization and hence learning the industrial management in a practical
way.

The students have to undergo a six months industrial training (PHASE II) during
the VII semester in a related industry / organization. During the training period the
students are maintaining an Industrial diary to record their observation and learning. On
completion of training, a training report should be submitted to the Head of the
Department. Industrial training of Sandwich students will be evaluated based on
Continuous Assessment of two periodical reviews and an End semester Examination on
Assessment of Training Report and viva-voce.

Course Outcomes:
After taking this course, the students shall be able to:

C404.1 Experience the production process in an industrial organization.

C404.2 Appreciate the Organizational structural and functions of department in industries.

C403.3 Practice on production machines and its operation/ Maintenance.

C403.4 Follow safety practices in industries.

C403.5 Develop social skills and inter personals skills such as planning, listening.

C403.6 Appreciate the ethics practiced in industries.

C403.7 Improve communication skills.

TQM.

SANDWICH DIPLOMA COURSE - INDUSTRIAL TRAINING

1. Introduction

The main objective of the Sandwich Diploma Course is to mould a well rounded
technician acclimated with industrial environment while being a student in the
institution.

The Sandwich Diploma Course study is pursued by students, in 7 semesters of

3½ years duration, the subjects of 3 years - Full Time Diploma Course being
regrouped for academic convenience.

While in the 4th semester students undergo Industrial Training-I for 6 months
(December through May). They also do course work in the institution for one
Day in a week, while in the 7th semester they undergo another spell of 6 months
(June through November) Industrial training-II.

Page 126 of 133

First Spell - IV Semester (December - May)

Second Spell - VII Semester (June - November)

2. Attendance Certification
Every month students have to get their attendance certified by industrial supervisor in the
prescribed form. Students have also to put their signature on the form and submit itto
the institutional staff in-charge. Attendance and submission of Review reports will be duly
considered while awarding the Continuous Assessment mark.

3. Training Reports
The students have to prepare two types of reports:
 Weekly report in the form of diary to be submitted to the concerned staff in- charge
of the institution. This will be reviewed while awarding Continuous Assessment mark.
 Comprehensive report at the end of each phase of Industrial Training will be
reviewed while awarding End semester Examination marks.

Industrial Training Diary

Students are required to maintain the record of day - to- day work done. Such record is
called Industrial training Diary. Students have to write this report regularly. All days of
the week should be accounted for clearly giving attendance particulars (Presence,
Absence, Leave, Holiday etc). The concerned Industrial supervisor is to check
periodically these progress reports.

Comprehensive Training Report

In addition to the diary, students are required to submit a comprehensive report on

training with details of the organization where the training was undergone after
attestation by the supervisors. The comprehensive report should be incorporating study
of plant/ product /process/ construction along with intensive in-depth study on any one
of the topics such as processes, methods, tooling, construction and equipment,
highlighting aspects of quality, productivity and system.

The comprehensive report should be completed in the last week of Industrial training.
Any data, drawings etc should be incorporated with the consent of the Organization.
