 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

This is the page to express your acknowledgement to the company, supervisor, or any
person directly or indirectly helped you in your Industrial Training. This Industrial
Training report must be prepared in A4 size by setting the Page Layout -> Size. Also,
the spacing is 1.5 lines, while the margins are: left 40mm, right 20mm, top 20mm and
bottom 40mm. The spacing and margins can be set at Page Layout -> Margins ->
Custom Margins. The font to be used is ‘Times New Roman’ with size 12. Please also
use ‘Justify’ so that the ends of all lines are aligned. Please follow this format for the
rest of the report. In order not to disturb the page format, the easiest way is to delete the
text and type directly here.

Usually one paragraph of acknowledgement is adequate, however if you need a second

paragraph, please leave a blank line before the start of a new paragraph as shown above.
There is no need to indent the beginning of each paragraph, meaning the first word
starts at the same level as shown at the beginning of each paragraph.

Acknowledgement cannot exceed one page, thus if you have too many things to write
summarise it in one page.

 ABSTRACT

This is the page to write an abstract of your Industrial Training. As before, the spacing
is 1.5 lines, while the margins are: left 40mm, right 20mm, top 20mm and bottom
40mm. The font to be used is ‘Times New Roman’ with size 12. Please also use
‘Justify’ so that the ends of all lines are aligned. In order not to disturb the page format,
the easiest way is to delete the text and type directly here. Please do this for the rest of
the report.

An abstract is a summary of your work done during Industrial Training. Starting from
this section, the language used must be formal and in passive voice. Example of passive
voice: “Industrial Training was done in the company ABC Sdn. Bhd., where several job
scopes were carried out.” Example of active voice which is not acceptable: “I did my
Industrial Training in the company ABC Sdn. Bhd., where I carried out several job
scopes.” Also, please do not write your feelings here, example: “I feel happy I did
Industrial Training in such a wonderful company…”

Abstract can take more than one paragraph, but cannot exceed one page.

CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION

1.1 Company information

This is the beginning of Chapter 1, where the company name, nature of business,
products, history, achievements are elaborated. Starting Chapter 1, figures and tables are
allowed to be used. Figures include picture, photo, diagram, graph, screen shot, hand
sketches and drawing, while tables refer to tables with numbers or texts.

The title of a figure is below the figure, but the title of a table is above the table.
Examples are shown in Figure 1.1 and Table 1.1 as below. Note that ‘Figure 1.1’ and
‘Table 1.1’ are mentioned in the text (in the previous sentence). In other words,
whenever there is a figure or table, they must be introduced and explained in the text.
This is applicable for all figures and tables in this report.

The line spacing in the table is allowed to be 1.0, the text can be aligned left, centre,
right or justified. The font type and size is also flexible, but advised to use Times New
Roman sized from 8 to 14.

Note that the figure, table and the corresponding title are all centre aligned, and the
figure or table do not exceed the width of the page margin. Figure 1.2 shows an example
where the figure is ‘oversized’ in terms of width.

Figure 1.2: An example of oversized figure

The figure and title must not be separated at different page, shown in Figure 1.3. The
same applies to a table.

Also, a figure must be shown in the natural aspect ratio. Figure 1.4 and Figure 1.5 show
distorted figures which are not acceptable.

Figure 1.4: A distorted figure

Figure 1.5: A distorted MMU logo

Equations can be inserted in the text. The format is as follows: left aligned, use equation
editor and put the equation number at the right margin. Again, the easiest way to
maintain the equation format is to copy and paste the equation below.

A=π r 2 (1.1)

9
The first number in the equation number (1.1) represents the chapter it is located; the
second number represents the sequence of the equation. Thus the first equation for
Chapter 2 will be reset to (2.1), followed by (2.2), (2.3) and so on.

Back to the content, Section 1.1 is limited to three (3) pages only. This is intentionally
capped to avoid students ‘over introduce’ the company. Some companies may indeed be
large and have a lot to introduce, however learning to summarise them is also part of
report writing skills. As a reminder, the main items in this report are the job scopes you
have done during Industrial Training.

Starting Chapter 1, references are allowed to be included. If certain sentences or facts

are taken from a reference, they will be numbered in a square bracket after the sentences
or facts but before a full stop or comma [1], as shown in the previous sentence. The
references must be numbered in sequence, thus if the next sentence is extracted from
another reference, it will be numbered as [2], [3] etc. The details of each reference will
be stated in the last section named ‘REFERENCES’.

Sometimes the same reference can appear more than once in this report. If so, the
numbering given to this reference when it first appears in the report will be used again.
Thus, if this sentence is again taken from reference [2], this number will be used.

There is a page range for Industrial Training report. The minimum number of pages is
30; Page count starts from page 1 (in Chapter 1); earlier pages (acknowledgement,
abstract, etc) are not counted. The last page count is the last page of REFERENCES.
Students may fail Industrial Training if the report page number does not fulfil this
requirement.

There is only one level for each chapter (1.1, 1.2 etc). In other words, there is no section
1.1.1, 1.2.1, or even 1.1.1.1 etc. It is best that students follow this guide and do not
create more levels. Industrial Training Committee feels the Industrial Training report

10
does not need so many levels of sections, hence keeping it simple at one level. The same
concept is applied to figure number, table number and equation number.

After the last paragraph of a section, the blank spacing is double of the usual spacing
between two paragraphs in the same section.

1.2 Report Organisation

In this section, a brief introduction about Industrial Training job scopes and the content
of Industrial Training report is explained. Note that this section continues from the
Section 1.1 without using a new page, unless Section 1.1 finishes naturally at the end of
a page. This applies to all section in other chapters. However, a new chapter must start
in a new page, even though there is a large blank space after the end of each chapter,
just like this page.

11
CHAPTER 2: INDUSTRIAL TRAINING JOB SCOPES

Chapter 2 is dedicated to description of the job scopes. The number of sections to be

created is equal to the number of job scopes in Industrial Training. So if there are four
job scopes, there will be sections 2.1, 2.2, 2.3 and 2.4. If there is only one job scope,
there will only be section 2.1. Start Chapter 2 with one short paragraph stating the name
of each job scope.

2.1 Job scope 1: name of the job scope

Everything about the first job scope is inserted in this section, including figures, tables,
equations, etc. Permission from the company supervisor must be obtained if sensitive
information is included.

2.2 Job scope 2: name of the job scope

Everything about the second job scope is inserted in this section, including figures,
tables, equations, etc. Permission from the company supervisor must be obtained if
sensitive information is included.

2.3 Job scope 3: name of the job scope

Everything about the third job scope is inserted in this section, including figures, tables,
equations, etc. Permission from the company supervisor must be obtained if sensitive
information is included.

12
CHAPTER 3: INDUSTRIAL TRAINING OUTPUTS, RESULTS AND
DISCUSSIONS

This chapter elaborates the outputs, results and discussions of Industrial Training job
scopes. As in Chapter 2, the sections are divided according to the job scopes. Note that
there is a last section “Application of knowledge in MMU subjects to the job scopes”.
This is a compulsory section and student must write at least 10 lines (equations do not
count) in this section. In this section, students must explain the subjects or topics that
are applied in the job scopes. Equations, figures etc may be used in this section to
explain the application of knowledge. Students are generally encouraged to write a lot
for this section, thus writing a few pages for this section is possible.

3.1 Job scope 1: name of the job scope

All outputs, results and discussions about the first job scope are inserted in this section,
including figures, tables, equations, etc. Permission from the company supervisor must
be obtained if sensitive information is included.

3.2 Job scope 2: name of the job scope

All outputs, results and discussions about the second job scope are inserted in this
section, including figures, tables, equations, etc. Permission from the company
supervisor must be obtained if sensitive information is included.

3.3 Job scope 3: name of the job scope

13
All outputs, results and discussions about the third job scope are inserted in this section,
including figures, tables, equations, etc. Permission from the company supervisor must
be obtained if sensitive information is included.

3.4 Application of knowledge in MMU subjects to the job scopes

The job scopes are very relevant to the subjects taken in MMU. In job scope 1 (insert
the name of job scope here), to calculate the stresses of the material, the equations
required are from EME1066 Strength of Materials…

In the second job scope (insert the name of job scope here), the voltage and current in
the circuit are determined using the KCL and KVL studied in the ECT1016 Circuit
Theory…

14
CHAPTER 4: CONCLUSIONS

4.1 Job scopes conclusions

Conclusions related to the job scopes are stated in this section. If there are more than
one job scopes, the conclusion of each job scope must be written in separate paragraphs.

Example of job scopes conclusions: “Experiment has been carried out to determine the
Young’s Modulus of the materials. Results showed that material A has the highest
value, followed by B, C and D. It can be concluded that material A is the most suitable
material used in fabricating the structure to support…”

Another example: “A schematic diagram has been designed and later converted to a
printed circuit board. The connections were etched and components were soldered onto
the board. A simple test was conducted to ensure the board works exactly as required by
the customer…”

4.2 General conclusions

General conclusions refer to conclusions that are not technical in nature, but more
inclined towards your feelings and experience in Industrial Training.

Example of general conclusions: “I am glad to have undergone Industrial Training at

Company A which has good facilities … The coworkers have been very helpful …
Overall, I have learnt a lot through this training …”
