1. Introduction
Co-operative education (“co-op”) is one of the requirements in obtaining an engineering bachelor’s degree. Co-op is sometimes known as internship or industrial training. The main objective of this program is to provide the students with vast exposure to a real industrial environment. In addition, students should also be able to apply the skills that they have gained throughout their academic years.
The co-op program also serves a purpose of a shared social obligation for both the UCSI and the organizations involved. The students will generally assist the companies in handling any related jobs and tasks assigned to them. In essence, this program will also indirectly enable UCSI in identifying the industries’ current needs, hence improving any weaknesses discovered. Upon completing the co-op program, the students are required to submit a report detailing their experience and summarizing their activities at the organizations.
The submission of your Cooperative Education Report (“Co-op Report”) is one of the last steps in the program leading to the completion of your engineering degree. The report is a professional statement of the results of the student’s internship work. The School of Engineering has established guidelines for uniformity in the format of the manuscript. These guidelines were designed to ensure that all papers were high in quality and consistent in the arrangement of the contents.
The Co-op Report must be a professionally finished work in format, style, spelling and appearance, as the finished document reflects on both the student and the University. The format of the manuscript should be consistent with the guidelines presented herein. Failure to follow these
