‘Indus-train’ system: a medium of monitoring and evaluation of students during industrial training
2018
The industrial training is a mandatory course for Diploma Civil Engineering, UiTM Pahang. It is to expose students to real engineering practices to meet the Engineering Technician Accreditation Council (ETAC) requirements. However, the current method for monitoring and assesssing students’ progress during their industrial training is inadequate and not systematic due to incomplete student log books, unspecified scoring rubrics, inaccurate assessments by lecturers who are not experts in the field, infrequent visits and monitoring by faculty supervisors, inability to monitor student daily activities by faculty supervisors and unstandardized format for student reports. Thus, ‘Indus-Train’ system was developed by the Civil Engineering Innovative and Creative group (CivTEX), UiTM Pahang to assist the faculty (Civil Engineering) in solving problems related to student monitoring and assessment during industrial training. This system is more systematic, competitive, reduces management costs and able to achieve the adequacy of the industrial training assessments. The main positive impact of applying this system in the recent semester was an increment in student achievements. Student achievements were assessed from the course outcomes (CO) which showed an increase of 13.2 % (CO1). The system also saves time and reduces cost. Industrial training certificates are given to students at the end of the semester where each certificate has its unique barcode that can be used to track all students’ activities and reports during industrial training. Furthermore, this certificate is useful f
