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.

Related reading: formatting chemical formulas and species names and choosing a statistical test.

Engineering

5 departments listed: Chemical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Electrical and Electronics Engineering, Mechanical 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.

Computing and information technology

4 departments listed: Computer Science, Cyber Security, Software Engineering, Computer Engineering.

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.

Frequently asked questions

What chapters does a UNIDEL 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 UNIDEL expect for a SIWES report?

UNIDEL'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 UNIDEL?

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