Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering EECE 500 APPROVED EXPERIENCE

Final Training Report Format


The purpose of your training is to provide you with an opportunity to practice various engineering principles in the real world. In addition, it should provide you with an understanding of how technology-based organizations operate. Please follow the format below in writing your Final Training Report. Your report should demonstrate what you learned and accomplished during your training. Typical length of the core of the final report is approximately 15 to 20 pages. Supporting material should be relegated to appendices. The report should illustrate that the training was commensurate with the level of effort and learning in a summer session.

Abstract (should be less than one page) Describe where your training was carried out (company, department, location, etc.) Summarize your training goals, activities, and accomplishments. In addition, describe the key elements you took away from your training. These should be both technical and non-technical (for example, you might describe such things as how your organization was structured, how individuals worked together in your company, how technical employees interacted with customers, what company initiatives you observed, etc.)

1. INTRODUCTION Describe the company with whom your training was carried out and the background to your involvement with this company, including the location of the facility at which the work was done. Describe your position and the basic engineering areas in which you worked for your training. 2 4. TRAINING DESCRIPTION Describe in detail the nature of the work or the nature of the project(s), which you carried out, stressing as much as possible the engineering aspects of your work. Describe the goals for the project, the methods used to approach the project, and the accomplishments. Do not disclose any proprietary information. Detail the various stages of your training on a project basis. You should describe all the technical and administrative activities performed. Relevant tables and descriptive figures or pictures are encouraged, but should not be excessive. Samples of the plans or design and calculation sheets can only be included in an appendix section and must be properly referenced in the text. Materials photocopied or duplicated from the companys previous proposals or reports should not be included. 5. ANALYSIS Describe the usefulness of your training work in advancing your understanding of the engineering profession. What did you learn from this experience? Include both the technical and non-technical elements (for example, you might describe such things as how your organization was structured, how individuals worked together in your

company, how technical employees interacted with customers, what company initiatives you observed, etc.) Analyze your performance during the training. What are your primary strengths? Give examples of what you did well. What are the areas that you would like to improve? Give examples of what you would do differently. Ask your supervisor for input on this aspect of the report. 6. CONCLUSION Summarize the usefulness of your summer training in advancing your understanding of the engineering profession, both technically and organizationally. Summarize what you learned from the experience. Discuss the benefits acquired from the training experience and the ways in which it enriched your knowledge. Any deficiencies in your education and suggestions for improvements of the training program should also be mentioned.

BIBLIOGRAPHY You must give credit to the ideas or words of another person. You do this by making a bibliography, which is a separate page at the end of your report that lists all the resources you used. A bibliography is a list of every source which you have used in preparing your project. The IEEE format is recommended. See http://www.lib.unimelb.edu.au/cite/ieee/.

APPENDIX List all supporting material such as: a brief introduction to the hosting firm, its management and administrative structure; sample plans or drawings; technical documents and literature; design and calculation sheets; and other relevant material. Appendices should not normally exceed 20 pages in length.
