idea/info’….”

 ". ..the latex glove factory achieved improved performance due to


higher sales of examination and surgical gloves" (Sime Darby Bhd.
Annual Report, 1981).

In the first example, we acknowledge the writer by stating his name

example we mention in the bracket the source of the information and the
year of the publication. In both cases, the reference should be also
included in the bibliography section.

All diagrams maps, charts, drawings, photographs and graphs have to be


numbered using Arabic numerals and the titles are to be placed below the
diagrams. The specifications are as follows (Refer to Appendix 12):

 Plan
All plans must be drawn on tracing paper.

INDUSTRIAL TRAINING • Student Handbook

2.2. Content of Main Text

The objective of Intra report writing is to allow people especially examiner


to get an idea of the job that has been done or completed in terms of
quantity and quality for the purpose of evaluation.

Basic rules in report writing can be summarized in three words as

 SHORT
 CLEAR
 PRECISE

Acceptable thickness of report writing is between 20 to 30 pages for the


main text section (not including other sections).

In order to organize your report, the main text should be organized in this
way:-
CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION

CHAPTER II
GENERAL PRESENTATION OF COMPANY

CHAPTER III
REPORT OF YOUR JOB/TASK/ASSIGNMENT/
PROJECT THAT YOU HAVE DONE DURING THE INTRA

CHAPTER IV
CONCLUSION & RECOMMENDATIONS

14
INDUSTRIAL TRAINING • Student Handbook

25mm. The margin for all the pages should be standardized.

3.3 Pagination

Two series of page numbers are employed: small Roman numerals for all
preliminary pages and Arabic numerals beginning from the first page of
chapter 1. Whereas the title page is actually Roman numeral I, the first
number to appear in the report is Roman numeral II on the page following
the title page.

3.4 Chapter Numbering and Section within Chapter

Each chapter and section should be numbered. Use the Arabic numerals.

3.5 Characters' Format

All documents in the report should use Times New Roman -12 font (except
the title page). If the writer wants to use other font, he has to make sure
that it is readable throughout the report.

19
INDUSTRIAL TRAINING • Student Handbook

4.0 TECHNICAL AND MECHANICAL PROBLEMS OF REPORT WRITING

4.1 Style of Writing

 Person

The report should be written in the third person rather than first or
second.

For example,

THE RIGHT EXPRESSIONS ARE;

- The reader will observe that. ..,


- The researcher (or experimenter, investigator, trainee, etc) found
that...'
- Table 12 shows that '

THE WRONG EXPRESSIONS ARE;

- I found that. ..'


- You will note that. ..,

 Shortened Expressions
Contractions such as "didn't" (for did not) and "wasn't" (for was not) are
characterized as informal English while complete constructions are
characteristics of formal English. Clipped words such as "gym", "exam",
etc should not be used, and only standard abbreviations are
acceptable.

 Capitalization
The most commonly accepted rule is to capitalize the first word in the
title and all proper nouns.

4.2 Spelling

Never use the simplified version of spelling, for example 'thru ‘

4.3 Foreign Words and Phrases

Any foreign words that need to be used in the report should be explained.
The foreign word must be defined.

4.4 Punctuation

Your text must be properly punctuated according to the fixed rule.

4.5 The Use of Numbers in Context

When numbers are used, they normally appear in Arabic numerals 1, 2, 3,


...

 Numbers below ten are written in words


 Number ten and above appear as numerals
 Fractions or decimals values are written as numerals
 Numbers which begin a sentence must be spelled out when use in the
text, for example,
The emolument over the last decade has averaged around a hundred.

Appendix 5: Example of Abstract

The report is divided into two sections; the economic section and the technical section.
The economic section contains the company profile of Group Steel and Orna Steel
Corporation. Group Steel is the second phase expansion plant of the parent company,
Orna Steel Corporation. The main product of Group Steel is pre-painted strip steel and
galvanised steel. Its product is marketed locally and worldwide. In the technical section,
the trainee was given a project to complete during his industrial training. The project is
called Utility Monitoring System. Its purpose is to combine selected utilities to be
monitored at only one location, for fast detection of utility system failure, so that the
problem could be rectified instantly. The project was divided into three sections where
each section has its own job requirement. The sections are; structure of the system,
installation of equipment and programming. The project was not fully completed
because of some difficulties especially the programming of the system. Also, some of
the instruments ordered were not readily available for installation because of financial
constraint. Although the project was not completed, the trainee has gained valuable
working experience and managed to complete the industrial training report.
