What your department type means for your FUTIA report

These notes are general guidance by discipline, matched to the departments listed for FUTIA. They are not FUTIA rules; your supervisor’s and department’s instructions always take priority.

Engineering

6 departments listed: Aerospace Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Civil and Environmental Engineering, Electrical/Electronics 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.

Computing and information technology

4 departments listed: Computer Science, Cyber Security, Library and Information Technology, Software Engineering.

Projects here usually build and evaluate something, such as a system, application or model, documented through requirements, design, implementation and testing. In SIWES logbooks, name the actual tools, systems and tasks you worked on.

Some computing departments use IEEE and others APA, so confirm which yours requires before you format any citation. Related reading: SIWES logbook examples for computer science and how to write a final year project, step by step.

Natural and physical sciences

4 departments listed: Biochemistry, Mathematics and Statistics, Microbiology, Physics.

Science projects are usually laboratory, field or survey studies that report methods, results tables and statistics. Formulas, units and species names need careful formatting, and the results chapter must match what your methodology says you did.

APA is common in many science departments, but some follow another style, so confirm yours. Related reading: formatting chemical formulas and species names and choosing a statistical test.

Agriculture and food sciences

2 departments listed: Agriculture, Food Science and Technology.

Agriculture projects are commonly field or farm experiments, laboratory work, or agricultural economics surveys, and industrial attachment usually places students on farms, in agencies or in agro-industry. Keep dated, specific records of what you did each week.

APA is common, but confirm your department's required style. Related reading: the agriculture SIWES report guide and calculating sample size.

Frequently asked questions

What format does FUTIA require for a final year project?

FUTIA'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 FUTIA students in engineering expect from a project?

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. This is general guidance for the discipline, not a FUTIA rule, so your supervisor's instructions win.

Does UniDraft support SIWES/IT reports for FUTIA?

Yes. IT/SIWES reports, final year projects, and seminar reports are all supported. See the FUTIA SIWES guide for report-specific structure.

Is this list of faculties and departments official?

This list reflects 16 departments across 4 faculties in UniDraft's catalog for FUTIA, 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.
