SIWES by department type at KHAIRUN

KHAIRUN has 16 departments in UniDraft’s catalog. These are general notes for each type of department, not KHAIRUN rules; your SIWES unit and supervisor decide.

Natural and physical sciences

7 departments listed: Biochemistry, Biotechnology, Forensic Science, Industrial Chemistry and others.

Logbook: Record the laboratory or field procedures you carried out, the samples or instruments involved, and the safety rules you followed, in your own words.

Report: Describe each procedure with its purpose and your observations, and format units, formulas and species names carefully.

Computing and information technology

4 departments listed: Computer Engineering, Software Engineering, Computer Science, Cybersecurity.

Logbook: Name the systems, languages, tools and tickets you actually handled each week, and what you personally did on them (debugging, testing, deploying, support), rather than writing "learnt programming".

Report: The technical chapter works best as a description of one or two real tasks, with the tools used and the problem each solved, ideally with screenshots or diagrams you are allowed to share.

Health and medical sciences

3 departments listed: Medical Laboratory Science, Nursing, Radiography.

Logbook: Record the units or wards you rotated through and the duties you were allowed to perform under supervision, without including any patient-identifying details.

Report: Describe the placement, your supervised duties and what you learnt, and confirm with your department how clinical or community placements are reported.

Engineering

2 departments listed: Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics Engineering.

Logbook: Record the equipment, measurements, drawings, site activities and safety practice for each week, and have your industry-based supervisor sign the entries as your department requires.

Report: Describe the processes or projects you observed or took part in, with sketches or diagrams, and explain the engineering principle behind each. Check whether your institution treats SIWES as compulsory for your programme.

Frequently asked questions

What chapters does a KHAIRUN SIWES report need?

Most Nigerian SIWES/IT reports follow a similar structure: an introduction to the organization, a chapter covering the industrial training experience and duties performed, a chapter of technical/theoretical knowledge gained, and a conclusion with recommendations -- built around your actual logbook entries, not invented ones. Your department may adjust this exact breakdown.

What formatting does KHAIRUN expect for a SIWES report?

KHAIRUN's exact SIWES 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.

Can UniDraft use my actual SIWES logbook and placement details?

Yes -- bring your real placement organization, duties, and logbook notes. UniDraft builds the report around what you actually did; it does not invent industrial training experience you didn't have.

Is this different from a final year project for KHAIRUN?

Yes. A SIWES/IT report documents your industrial training placement, while a final year project is an independent research report. See the general KHAIRUN format guide for the full project and seminar report breakdown.
