Congratulations on making progress in your SIWES Report!
After knowing what to include in Chapter 1 of your report, the next step is writing your SIWES Report’s Chapter 2.
Well, guess what?
Though the 2nd chapter of your report may seem intimidating and bulky, it is quite easy to get what to include in it. This article tells you the contents of your SIWES Report’s Chapter 2 and how to get them.
What is the Chapter 2 of SIWES Report for?
‘Chapter 2’ of your SIWES Report comes directly after the Introduction section (Chapter 1) of your report. Note that the SIWES Report has vital preliminary sections which appear before the first chapter. These preliminary sections include Acknowledgement, Abstract l, Certification and Dedication.
In the 2nd chapter of your SIWES report, you’re supposed to provide information about the company or organisation where you conducted your SIWES or internship. Therefore, you’re expected to outline the various departments in the establishment, stating the function of each.
The contents of your SIWES Report’s Chapter 2 include:
- Data about the Company: Information on the establishment where the training was conducted. This includes:
- Name of the Company/Institution
- Address of the Company
- Commencement Date (when the company’s operations were kick-started)
- Activities of the Company/Establishment (e.g manufacturing, services, etc.)
- Organizational Set-up of the Company: How the company is structured, including
- Organizational structure (including organogram or chart) of the Company/Institution
- Different offices in the establishment
- Responsibilities of the office-holders in the organization. For example, Managing Director is the owner of the organization and the general overseer who makes the final decision in the office.]
- Professional Ethics: Official ethics upheld by the company, such as the Code of Conduct which contains the Do’s and Don’ts of the establishment.
How to Get All Necessary Information to Include in Chapter 2 of Your SIWES Report
Worried about how you can get all that necessary information for the 2nd Chapter of your SIWES Report? Calm down; all you need to do is ask!
During your SIWES, you’ll be introduced to a lot of departments and their respective operations. It’s a good idea to jot down all you can during that time. However, you’ll also need to ask for more details with which you can write a good SIWES report.
The additional details include:
- Company Organogram
- Code of Conduct
- Process flow diagrams
- Personnel information
- History of the establishment, etc.
You can get all these, and more, by asking your SIWES Supervisor in the company.
