How to Write a SIWES Report for UAAE
SIWES and IT report structure, formatting, and chapter breakdown expected at UAAE -- built from your real placement and logbook, formatted to submission-ready.
Typical SIWES report structure
The common Nigerian-university SIWES/IT report shape. UniDraft adjusts this to your department’s specific requirements when they’re on file.

- Chapter 2Industrial training experience & duties
- Chapter 3Technical / theoretical knowledge gained
- Chapter 4Challenges & problems encountered
- Chapter 5Conclusion & recommendations

General Nigerian university convention -- until your exact department template is added, UniDraft applies your supervisor’s and department’s specific instructions on top of this baseline.
SIWES by department type at UAAE
UAAE has 25 departments in UniDraft’s catalog. These are general notes for each type of department, not UAAE rules; your SIWES unit and supervisor decide.
Engineering
11 departments listed: Aerospace Engineering, Automotive Engineering, Civil Engineering, Electrical Engineering and others.
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.

Natural and physical sciences
6 departments listed: Forensic Science, Industrial Mathematics, Microbiology, Physics with Electronics 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.
Related reading: formatting chemical formulas and species names and choosing a statistical test.
Computing and information technology
5 departments listed: Computer Science, CyberSecurity, Data Science, Software Engineering and others.
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.

Management and social sciences
2 departments listed: Business Management, Psychology.
Logbook: Record the departments you worked in, the tasks, the documents or systems you handled and the people you reported to each week.
Report: Describe how the organisation is structured and how your tasks fit into its operations, linking what you saw to what you studied.

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