Obtaining Industrial Placement
One academic staff from each engineering discipline has been appointed as Adviser for Industrial Training. Contact her/him to
request a letter from the Department confirming that you are a student of SRM University, and supporting your efforts to find an
industrial placement.
It is the responsibility of each student to obtain her/his own industrial placement. The Adviser might assist you with a list of
possible contacts within the industry. If you have any doubts or questions about a proposed employment, you should consult the
Adviser for Industrial Training in your discipline. You may also consult other academic staff on the availability of Industrial
Training.
The Industrial Training Report
An Industrial Training report should be prepared for each period of approved employment. The report is
expected to demonstrate development of practical and professional skills in Engineering through technical experience and
application of theoretical knowledge. Development of skills in dealing with people, and communication skills form part of the
training experience. Students should seek advice from their employers to ensure that no confidential material is included into the
report. The student should be able to present the report to prospective employers, as a complement to their degree. The following
should be observed:
i. Length of training
ii. Preliminary information
iii. Technical report/diary
References should be made in the text to books, technical papers, standards etc., used
during the training period and should be listed.
Finally, a conclusion should include comprehensive comments on the type and value of
experience gained, and how this relates to your professional career.
A copy of the report should be submitted to your employer, another copy to the Department (through the respective
Adviser). Students should also retain a personal copy of the report.

Guideline for Preparation of Industrial Training Report
Introduction
The purpose of the Industrial Training is to provide exposure for the students on practical engineering fields. Through this
exposure, students will have better understanding of engineering practice in general and sense of frequent and possible
problems. This training is part of the learning process. So,
the exposure that uplifts the knowledge and experience of a student needs to be properly documented in the form of a
report. Through this report, the experience gain can be delivered to their peers. A properly prepared report can facilitate
the presentation of the practical experience in an orderly, precise and interesting manner.
Purpose of the Report
a) Put down in writing the record of the training experience i.e personal performance reflection;
b) Implanting engineering expertise onto the students, that is, preparation of technical reports, communications, technical
evaluation and design;
c) Means of summarizing the experience of a student;
d) Train student in effective writing as a preparation for the Final Year Project.
Contents and Format of Report
The procedure for preparation of the report has to follow the format determined by the Faculty based on the guidelines
below.

Roman has to be used throughout the report, with line spacing of 1.5. The report has to be properly bound with ‘staple
and tape binding’.
b) Front Cover Format
Students are advised to use ‘310 gram Whiteart Card’ in as the front cover. The format for the front cover should
be as shown in appendix.
c) Abstract/Preface
This section of the report should consist of brief description of the following:
i. Activities of the Organization
ii. Summary of the Report
iii. Acknowledgement
