INTRODUCTION
This Logbook will take you through the steps you need to take in order to
qualify for the C.U.E.D Industrial Experience Requirements.
If you take 15 minutes to read through the instructions contained herein,

presenting your documentation to qualify for Industrial Experience will be
a formality. Engineers need to be able to understand and meet specified
criteria and also to produce clear and concise reports, so completing the
logbook will help you to develop these skills.
The booklet contains important sections on:
♦ Health & Safety, and there is a checklist included. There is also a

letter addressed to your employer to remind them of their obligations
regarding Health & Safety matters, you should detach this note and
are made aware of its contents.
♦ Recording your activities correctly, documentation in the correct

format is essential for qualification for the C.U.E.D Industrial
Experience Requirements to be met fully. Please ensure your
repor t is comple te d and signed before depar t u r e . Failure to
perform this relatively simple task often causes hours of future lost
time attempting to rectify this oversight.
♦ The Employer is requested to fill in a short feedback section, which

will give you a better idea of your performance on some of the non-
technical areas of the Industrial Experience. You can also use the
Employers section as a reference for any future employment.
Once you have completed all the sections, you should then present the
document to the Industrial Placement Co-ordinator for confirmation that
you have met the requirements.
Lastly, the vast majority of the students conduct themselves admirably

whilst on Industrial Experience and most are invited back the following
year. Some are even offered jobs on Graduation as a result. Whilst not
everyone wishes to return, please keep in mind that in future a C.U.E.D.
student may wish to follow in your footsteps. Continuing in this vein, it
would be helpful to me if you could ensure that you complete all the
details on the employer's organisation so I can easily maintain contact
with them in the future.
I hope you enjoy your experiences and I look forward to hearing all about
them on your return.

DEPARTMENTAL CRITERIA
Industrial Experience Requirement for the Engineering Tripos & the
Manufacturing Engineering Tripos
To obtain Honours in Part IB of the Engineering Tripos a candidate must satisfy

the Examiners that he or she has such workshop or equivalent experience as
shall be determined by the Faculty Board of Engineering, and to obtain Honours
in Part IIA of the Engineering Tripos, in Part I of the Manufacturing Engineering
Tripos and in Part I of the Electrical and Information Sciences Tripos a candidate
must satisfy the Examiners that he or she has such industrial or equivalent
experience as shall be determined by the Faculty Board.
The Faculty Board have approved the following requirements:
Engineering Tripos Part IB

Four weeks of relevan t industrial experience.
Engineering Tripos Part IIA, Manufacturing Engineering Tripos Pt. 11A,
Four additional weeks of relevan t industri al experi ence or, for a

student who has not been a candida t e for Part IB of the Engineering
Tripos, four weeks of relevan t industri al experi ence.
Relevant industrial experience is defined as any work of an engineering nature

involving other people in an engineering environment, except where the work is
only computer program ming of a routine nature. It may involve design,
development, manufacturing, construction or research work, provided that this
includes interaction with the work of others on an engineering subject.
1. Practical training in the use of tools in an engineering training workshop

will be acceptable for one period of four weeks of relevant industrial
experience whether for Part IB or for the Engineering Tripos Part IIA,
Manufacturing Engineering Tripos Part I and Electrical and Information
Sciences Tripos Part I but not for both the required periods.
2. Computer programming of a routine nature means program ming which

uses only standard spreadsheets or other similar standard software. The
development of new programs for engineering analysis is not considered
to be routine programming.
3. Any dispute concerning the interpretation of these requirements will be

determined by appeal to the Head of the Department of Engineering
whose decision will be final.
DOCUMENTATIO N
Confirmation is required from an authorised officer of the company or institution

that the industrial experience has been obtained. This should preferably be in
the form of a signed up logbook. This written confirmation of the work should be
presented by the candidate to Mr I Wowk, the Industrial Experience Co-ordinator,
who can also supply pro- forma logbooks. Mr Wowk has an office on the second
floor Centre Wing of the Baker Building Room BC3-07. He may be contacted on

Depart m e n t
Date: June 18, 2014 When replying please quote:
You have kindly agreed to take one of our Undergraduate Engineering students ,
into your organisation for a period of work on your premises. In order to prepare
our students for the placement, they have been briefed on Health and Safety
matters during the academic year and have been issued with a checklist to
remind them of the basic responsibilities of both parties. You should be aware
that this is the student's first major engineering type placement and therefore
we ask you to give your close attention to the following matters:
We expect that you comply with all the current relevant Health & Safety
legislation that affects your organisation and once a student is on your
premises he or she will be given the temporary status of "employee" in
respect of Health & Safety.
We give students a briefing on Health & Safety at work, which can only
cover points of a general nature. We request that you would induct the
student as you would any "new employee" and indicate any hazards that
specifically relate to your operations, which could affect the student.
We request that you give particular attention to the level of awareness of

the student when making any risk assessment, and where necessary,
provide suitable supervision, training & personal, protective equipment if
required.
Hopefully all the above matters are straightforward, however if there are any
points that give you any concern, please contact me immediately and let me
know.
Yours Sincerely,
