How to Write a SIWES Report That Earns Better Marks
Many SIWES reports lose marks because they spend too much time on the history of the scheme and the company profile, while giving little detail about the actual industrial training. Your supervisor wants to see what you did, the tools you used and the skills you gained. Use your signed logbook as the foundation for the work experience chapter. Turn each weekly activity into a clear paragraph. Mention specific machines, software, procedures, documents or tests you handled. Concrete details are stronger than vague statements such as “I learnt a lot.” Keep the SIWES background brief and make the company chapter practical. Explain what the organisation does, its structure and where your unit fits in. Ensure your report matches the logbook, discuss genuine challenges and how you handled them, and follow your department’s format sheet above online samples. Do not copy another student’s report. Write the abstract last, proofread the full report aloud and confirm every chapter is accurate before binding it.
