What your department type means for your Rivers State University report
These notes are general guidance by discipline, matched to the departments listed for Rivers State University. They are not Rivers State University rules; your supervisor’s and department’s instructions always take priority.
Engineering
7 departments listed: Agricultural and Environmental Engineering, Chemical/Petrochemical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Electrical 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.
Arts, humanities and law
6 departments listed: English and Literary Studies, History and International Diplomacy, Modern Languages (French), Philosophy and others.
Arts, humanities and law projects tend to be text-based, analytical or doctrinal, built on sources, cases or texts rather than measured data. The literature review often carries more of the argument than it does in a laboratory project.
Styles vary widely here: some departments use APA, others MLA or Chicago, and some law departments use OSCOLA. Confirm yours. Related reading: how to write the literature review and how to write the references list.
Management and social sciences
5 departments listed: Development Communication Studies, Economics, Psychology, Social Work 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.
Health and medical sciences
4 departments listed: Community Medicine, Family Medicine, Internal Medicine, Paediatrics and Child Health.
Health-related departments often work under clinical or community placement arrangements of their own and follow a structured health-research format, with ethical approval where human participants are involved. Ask your department what applies to your programme.
APA and Vancouver are both used in health programmes; confirm which your department expects. Related reading: seminar topics for nursing and public health students and validity and reliability of questionnaires.
