What your department type means for your FUTD report
These notes are general guidance by discipline, matched to the departments listed for FUTD. They are not FUTD rules; your supervisor’s and department’s instructions always take priority.
Management and social sciences
8 departments listed: Aviation Management, Inland Waterways Safety and Environmental Administration, Logistics and Supply Chain Management, Maritime Economics and others.
Projects in these departments are usually survey-based studies, so the questionnaire, the sample size and the choice of statistical test become the parts supervisors examine most closely.
APA is the most common style in management and social science departments. Related reading: the accounting and business SIWES report guide and how to design a questionnaire.
Engineering
6 departments listed: Civil Engineering, Electrical and Electronics Engineering, Highway Engineering, Mechanical Engineering and others.
Engineering projects typically centre on design, construction or analysis, backed by calculations, drawings or test results. Whether SIWES is compulsory depends on your programme and institution, so confirm it with your SIWES unit; logbook entries should record specific tasks, equipment, measurements and safety practice.
Engineering departments often prefer a numbered style such as IEEE, but check your own department's guideline. Related reading: engineering SIWES logbook examples and the civil engineering SIWES report guide and the electrical and electronic engineering SIWES report guide.

What format does FUTD require for a final year project?
FUTD's exact department-level format isn't in our catalog yet, so the specifics above are the general Nigerian tertiary-institution convention (Times New Roman 12pt, 1.5 spacing, APA references). UniDraft still applies your supervisor's and department's specific instructions when you write with us.
What should FUTD students in management and social sciences expect from a project?
Projects in these departments are usually survey-based studies, so the questionnaire, the sample size and the choice of statistical test become the parts supervisors examine most closely. APA is the most common style in management and social science departments. This is general guidance for the discipline, not a FUTD rule, so your supervisor's instructions win.
Does UniDraft support SIWES/IT reports for FUTD?
Yes. IT/SIWES reports, final year projects, and seminar reports are all supported. See the FUTD SIWES guide for report-specific structure.
Is this list of faculties and departments official?
This list reflects 14 departments across 2 faculties in UniDraft's catalog for FUTD, used to route your document to the right department-level rules. If your department is missing or misspelled, you can still enter it by hand when you start a document.
How does UniDraft know my supervisor's specific instructions?
You tell it. Supervisor and department instructions always take priority over the university-wide baseline shown above -- UniDraft layers your specific rules on top before generating anything.
