2. DAILY REPORT
The daily work carried out during the periods of training should be recorded clearly with
sketches and diagrams where applicable.
3. WEEKLY REPORT
This is a summary of work done in a week and should cover theory/practical report on
the work covered.
The student must present his/her log book on a weekly basis to the industry supervisor
for comment(s) and assessment of content and progress. The industry supervisor’s
comment(s) should be accompanied by the company’s rubber stamp.
4. CHANGE OF ATTACHMENT

of attachment, the student should first secure permission in writing from the University.

his/her comment at the end of the log book.

the programme worthwhile.
