Preface
The Industrial Training Guidelines Handbook 2009, aims to provide the students of the School of Engineering and Information Technology with a guideline of what they would need to do for their industrial training placements in the industry. The students should understand that it is a compulsory subject stated in both MQA and EAC. This handbook had been revised from the original which was produced in 2004 to fit in with the MQA and EAC requirements. Students should be aware that the present handbook has had several changes made in the course objectives, course outcomes, assessment methods, industrial training procedures and forms. The changes are parallel with the feedback given by students, lecturers, and industry.
The industrial training program involves four main people. They are the industrial supervisor, the visiting lecturers, the academic supervisor and the student. This guidebook gives an explanation of the duties of each person.
On behalf of the university, we wish to thank you all the parties who are directly involved in the preparation of this guidebook.

1. Introduction
Industrial Training is a required course for all the students in the School of Engineering and Information Technology (SEIT). It is compulsory for students who have completed their 6 semesters of study to undergo their industry training. This industrial training is a full time attachment with the industry or any government body. It is 3-credit hour course for Engineering and Information Technology students. At the completion of their industrial training, students will be awarded an A, B, C, D or E grade. This grade will contribute to the cumulative grade point average (CGPA).
5. Duration
Engineering Program
The duration of the Industrial Training is 10 weeks. The approval of the student extension request will depend on the start date of the coming semester since they need to be back to the university to complete their remaining one year of study.

9 a.m. Ive continued my work in the department I was assigned to. In the afternoon, I gave a short presentation to my supervisor. He thought that I was now ready for my next task in the second tier department. 4 pm to 5 pm I spent the last hour prepping myself for the next department.
I can safely assume that I have progressed according to schedule. So far, the working condition in the company was very informative and challenging. Fortunately, the staff there was quite helpful thus Im able to complete my task with ease. The incidents happens in Thursday however give me a lot of experience in dealing with co- workers and how to handle problems in quick and professional way.
