EE Industrial Training Monthly Report Guide
Oct 2014 Rev. 2.1
INTRODUCTION
This is a guide for the preparation of an Industrial Training Monthly Report for the
Department of Electronic Engineering, Faculty of Engineering and Green
Technology, Universiti Tunku Abdul Rahman. It covers basic information on the
format, arrangement and layout of the monthly report. UTAR encourages its students
to come up with their own reports. However, there are a few compulsory rules. These
are marked with * in this guide and must be followed.
SUBMISSION DETAILS
* The student’s completed and signed Industrial Training Monthly Report (soft copy)
must be received by the supervising lecturer via email before the 3rd of every month.
Submission will start after the student’s first month of Industrial Training.
* Students are required to prepare and submit their Industrial Training Monthly
Report for the duration of at least 3 months.
FORMAT OF EE INDUSTRIAL TRAINING MONTHLY REPORT
The Industrial Training Monthly Report consists of a cover page and the main text.
The cover page for the monthly report should include:
a.
Industrial Training Report + Trimester Session / Year
b.
Name
c.
ID
d.
Degree Pursued
e.
Name of University
f.
Name of Supervising Lecturer
g.
Company Name
h.
Name of On-site Supervisor
The main text for the monthly report is an expansion of the weekly reports compiled
from the daily logbook for the whole month. Students are usually required to record
their tasks and experiences during industrial training everyday. These daily logs are
then summarized into a weekly log at the end of each week. Finally the students
compile these weekly logs into a monthly report. For more details on the contents of
the weekly reports, please refer to Sections 5.9.1 – 5.9.3 in the Industrial Training
Manual. The formatting for the main text of the monthly report is strictly up to the
student.
*Note: Logbooks are not provided by the University. Students are required to
prepare their own logbooks to write down daily reports / summaries. The
logbooks will be kept by the students and need not be submitted at the end of the
industrial training.
Note: An example of the formatting for daily logbook is appended in Attachment
B. Note that this sample format is for daily recording only. The format for daily
logbook is not fixed and students are free to modify their logbook to their
preference (E.g. Diary form, table form, paragraph form, point form, etc).

WEEKLY AND MONTHLY REPORT EXAMPLE 1:
Week 1 (4th Oct 20XX – 8th Oct 20XX:)
On my first day working at Intel, I was required to report to my manager, Mr.
_____________ at the PG 12 guard post. After meeting up with him, I was given a
brief tour around PG 12, the place that I am going work in. Also, I had my first one on
one meeting with my manager. During the meeting, he explained the team structure
and their job scope to me. The team that I am assigned to is the System Validation
team and its main job is to perform post silicon validation on the next generation
processor that Intel is going to market. My supervisor told me that he is still looking
for a suitable task for me so for rest of the week my job would be to get familiar with
the working environment and read up on notes that are related to Intel processor’s
architecture………
First Month (4th Oct 20XX – 29th Oct 20XX):
On my first day reporting to work, I was guided by my supervisor,
Mr._________. He briefed me on the general regulations of the company and showed
me around the building that I am going to work in, PG12. Then, he brought me to the
administrative department to fill up all the necessary new hire documents. After going
through all the paper work, he brought me back to my personal cubicle and told me to
wait for the technical staff to set up the desktop for me. When the technical staff
finished setting up the desktop, I used the desktop to navigate through the intranet of
the company and get myself familiar with the features it offers. I attended and
completed some of the basic trainings offered by the e-learning system of the
company. Before the end of the day, my supervisor asked me to attend one of his
team’s tech sharing session and introduced me to the team. The team is known as the
System Validation team and its primary role is to validate Intel’s next generation CPU
design. He explained to me that generally the team’s job is to perform various tests on
the CPU and ensure that the design of the CPU is bug-free.
Thus, basically my first week at the company is to get familiar with the
working environment and attend basic trainings that are related to my job. On the
second day, my supervisor passed me some learning material that are going to help
me in my job and asked me to read and understand them. After some consideration, he
has decided on my assignment and explained it to me. He told me that the team is now
changing their test tool to different software and some of the tests from the old test
tool need to be ported to the new test tool. Thus, he would like to assign this job to me.
There are three tests that he wants me to port to the new test tool and he expects me to
finish it before my internship ends.
For the following week, I decided to do some study on the architecture of the
Intel’s microprocessor so that it could help me to better understand the tests that are
being performed on the microprocessor. The study includes understanding the
different operating mode of the microprocessor, the memory management system
(segmentation and paging), etc. While reading on the related materials, I started to try
to port the first test. With the help of my team members, the porting is progressing
well and it is ………………………………………………

WEEKLY AND MONTHLY REPORT EXAMPLE 2:
Week 1 (16 May 20XX – 20 May 20XX):
 First week of industrial training.
 Joined Unisem (M) Berhad on 16th May 20XX.
 Reported at Human Resource Department at 8.00 a.m., and Mr. _______ gave a
speech about the rules of company.
 Assigned to the Micrel department and met my supervisor.
 Received short briefing about wafer sort.
 Learned all the basic terms used inside the line.
1st Month (May, 20XX)
This is the 1st month I start my internship at Unisem (M) Berhad. I am getting
known more detail about the wafer testing and the process of wafer sort. Wafer
testing is a step performed during semiconductor device fabrication. During this step,
performed before a wafer is sent to die preparation, all individual integrated
circuits that are present on the wafer are tested for functional defects by applying
special test patterns to them. The wafer testing is performed by a piece of test
equipment called a wafer prober. The process of wafer testing can be referred to in
several ways: Wafer Sort (WS), Wafer Final Test (WFT), Electronic Die Sort (EDS)
and Circuit Probe (CP) are probably the most common.
Usually, there are using the machine name ASL1000 for testing the product. The
popular ASL 1000 is a low-cost mixed-signal and analog semiconductor test solution
that supports up to 21 instruments in a fully configured system. It has the smallest
footprint in its class, is air-cooled, and uses a standard 110 or 220 V outlet. With a
small test head that makes docking easy, the ASL 1000 is extremely adaptable and
easily shared between engineering labs – where it is a cost-effective desktop test
system – and in full production multisite test environments where it proves its low
total cost of ownership on a daily basis.
The ASL 1000 is most commonly used to test power management, analog, sensor,
and discrete IC devices, which can often require specialized and diverse mixed-signal
capabilities. To accommodate these diverse needs, the ASL 1000 implements a
modular architecture so users can integrate a variety of specialized measurement
modules into the same system.
The two main parts for the machine is Tester and Prober. The Tester or test system
also referred to as ATE or Automated Test Equipment. It is actually a collection of
power supplies, meters, signal, generators and other hardware items that work
collectively under a main controller. The test system is used to simulate the operating
condition that the DUT will experiences as it is used in its intended application. The
Prober is electromechanical equipment used ………………………………………….
