INDUSTRY EXPERIENCE (Faculty of Applied Sciences, UCSI University)

ASSESSMENT FOR CO-OPERATIVE PLACEMENT

Report on industry experience Length: 2000 – 2500 words You are required to submit a report on your industry experience, irrespective of whether the experience was undertaken with private industry, a research organization or factory. A separate report is required for each Co-op placement. Placement of two or more consecutive Co-ops in the same organisation will still require submission of separate reports for each Co-op, and your reports must be less than 20% identical. Your report should be submitted to the Administration Office at the Faculty of Applied Science within 2 weeks of completing your industry placement. Failure to meet this deadline will have the following consequences: 1. Submission after Two (2) weeks, but before Four (4) weeks, will result in a 10% penalty to the report grade. 2. Later than Four (4) weeks will result in a FAIL grade.

The report should document the following: a)

an introduction to the company which include the description of the plant/institution(s), stating its name, location and production (or research) undertaken;

b)

the processes and equipment involved in research techniques or production that were undertaken;

c)

your involvement with the company/institution(s), what you learnt from this involvement, and what further reading or other activities (seminars, tours, workshops) were undertaken to increase your knowledge of the area in which you were working;

Rationale: The rationale for this report is to enable you to reflect on your industry experience and document your learning outcomes. It is very important to be able to reflect on your experience, assess the level of expertise you have developed, and articulate this succinctly to others. The ability to articulate your skills to others will be very useful for developing your career.
