1. INTRODUCTION

This booklet provides an overview of the First and Second Summer Training (IE 200 and IE

300) processes and the guidelines for the students. The First Summer Training (IE 200) is mainly

based on the general observations in the company (called for a manufacturing or a service

providing company, firm, institution, establishment, organization etc.) that offers the training

position. However, the Second Summer Training (IE 300) is more related to the industrial

engineering applications. During the second summer training, students are expected to observe,

describe and report some systems phenomena. In addition, each student should identify,

formulate and find a satisfactory solution to an Industrial Engineering problem of the

company if they are in the Second Summer Training (IE 300). Therefore, students in training

process will have the opportunity of applying their knowledge and skills gained through the

courses on real-life systems.

Reading the “Summer Training Rules and Regulations of the Faculty of Engineering”, which

is available at the web address http://muhf.cankaya.edu.tr/dosya/MF_StajYonergesi.pdf and

this booklet in order to get information about the Summer Training process is the responsibility

of all Industrial Engineering students. Students should first refer to the “Summer Training Rules

and Regulations of the Faculty of Engineering”, then to this booklet to obtain answers for their

questions on summer training. See Appendix A for “Summer Training Rules and Regulations

of the Faculty of Engineering”.

In Section 2 of this booklet, students will find guidelines for company selection and application

procedures for internship. Section 3 introduces the Summer Training Logbook and Summer

Training Report, and includes the instructions for preparing the Summer Training Reports, the

questions and tasks to be fulfilled by the students during their summer training, and the

instructions for identifying and solving the Industrial Engineering Problem for IE 300. In Section

4, the processes for evaluation and grading of Summer Training Logbook and the Summer

Training Report are introduced. At the end of the booklet, a brief conclusion is followed by

Bibliography and Appendices.

2. GUIDELINES FOR COMPANY SELECTION AND

APPLICATION FOR INTERNSHIP

There is a procedure to be followed by students in applying for internship in order to organize

the general processes and some specially designed forms to document the necessary related

information about the student, the training, and the company. The whole application procedure

2

starts with the selection of the training company from the list of approved companies or

proposing a training company with the specified qualifications set by the Department.

2.1. Company Selection Procedure

An up-to-date list of companies acceptable for the summer training is online from the

departmental website http://iest.cankaya.edu.tr. Summer Training positions allocated to our

students (whenever available) by certain companies are also announced. It should be noted that

the number of internship positions are limited. It is strongly recommended that the students make

their applications for summer trainings during the early weeks of the Spring Semester.

Students are also encouraged to look for alternative companies not currently listed by the IE

Department (on condition that they fulfill the eligibility requirements for summer training):

1. There should be at least 1 (one) Industrial Engineer employed and working during

the summer training period in the company to be acceptable for summer training.

2. The company should be operational during the period of the training. The summer

training will not be accepted if the company has ceased its operations due to strikes,

lockouts, maintenance breaks, etc.

3. The company which the student is planning to make his/her IE 200 Summer Training I

should be operating in the manufacturing sector (like automotive, electronics,

furniture, garment, house products, machine parts, etc.) including process industries

(like ceramic, cement, chemical, food and beverages, fertilizer, glass, paint, paper,

pharmaceuticals, rubber, steel, tire, weaving, etc.). Companies of the service sector

(like state offices, financial firms, hospitals, tourism and entertainment facilities,

conglomerate headquarters, etc.) are only acceptable for IE 300 Summer Training II.

Students are recommended to have their industrial training in a well-known, large-scale

and technologically advanced company since they have a chance of increasing their

knowledge and getting much more experience.

4. For IE 300, the proposed company should be different from the company where IE 200

Summer Training was performed. However, a different plant of the same company in a

different location may be accepted upon approval of the Department.

5. Being relatives with the owner, general manager, member of board of management of

the company, the plant manager or one of the high-rank officials is a nullifying factor.

Students with first, second and third-degree relations with such personnel are not

allowed to conduct their trainings in those companies. For details refer to the Summer

Training Rules and Regulations of the Faculty of Engineering.

6. If a student fails from summer training, he/she cannot conduct any of the following

summer trainings in the same company.

3

2.2. Application Procedure for Internship

The student should follow the subsequent steps in order to apply for Summer Training Internship

by filling up the appropriate forms.

Step 1. Students should provide the following information about the company (or companies) to

which they apply for summer training, and submit it to the Summer Training Committee using

the Company Proposal Form (also available on the course web site):

1. Full title and the address of the company.

2. Contact person information.

3. Employment data (numbers of workers, engineers, industrial engineers, and other

technical employees, administrative staff, etc.).

4. Nature of the business that the company is involved in.

5. A brief description of the types of operations undertaken by the company.

6. A list of the main products of the company.

Step 2. After the company is approved, students should get the Statement of Permission for the

Summer Training Form from their academic advisor, fill out the relevant parts and have it

approved (signed) by their academic advisor. Then, submit it to the Summer Training

Coordinator.

Step 3. After the Statement of Permission for the Summer Training Form is approved by the

Summer Training Coordinator, students will get the Letter of Application, with which they apply

to the selected companies, from the Secretary of the Departmental Summer Training Committee.

The Letter of Application should be submitted to the companies by the students.

Step 4. As soon as the starting and finishing dates of their summer training are determined,

students should get the Internship Insurance Premium Application Form from the Summer

Training web site, fill it out and return it to the Secretary of the Departmental Summer Training

Committee to start the process for their health insurance premiums which will be paid by the

University.

Step 5. Students should download the Summer Training Logbook and this Summer Training

Booklet from the Summer Training web site and submit a printed copy of the Summer Training

Logbook to the company supervisor when they start their summer training.

4

2.3. Duration of the Summer Training

The minimum time required for each Summer Training (IE 200 and IE 300) is 20 working days

(excluding the official and religious holidays, Saturdays and Sundays). It is not possible to have

training during the night shift since the activities of many departments (such as accounting,

purchasing, sales, marketing, etc.) of the companies can only be examined during the normal day

shift.

Training should be continuous, and be completed within a single period of successive 20

working days. On the other hand, a student, who cannot complete his/her training in the

prescribed period due to a reason (such as strikes, unexpected production shutdown in the

factory, health reasons or dead of a relative, etc.) that arises out of his/her control, may be

permitted to split his/her training into two parts only. In such a case the student should submit

his/her excuse to the Industrial Training Coordinator or the Department Chairman, using a fastest

communication media and obtain the necessary approval.

3. SUMMER TRAINING LOGBOOK AND REPORTS

In this section, the Summer Training Logbook and Summer Training Reports for IE 200 and IE

300 are introduced, and the instructions for preparing the Summer Training Reports, the

questions and tasks to be fulfilled by the students during their summer training, and the

instructions for identifying and solving an Industrial Engineering Problem are provided.

3.1. Logbook

Logbook is a booklet that is prepared to keep a record of activities of the student and a detailed

evaluation of the student's work during his/her summer training. It is an official document

proving the work performed by the student during the training period. See Appendix B for a

sample Logbook.

All the information requested in the Logbook should be filled out by the student and his/her

supervisor(s) assigned by the company. Students are responsible to filling out:

Details of the duration of training, and

Summary of the work done (a day to day record of the training carried out).

However, student’s supervisor(s) is(are) responsible from the evaluation of the student along a

set of dimensions by filling out the relevant parts of the Logbook.

5

At the end of the training period, the Logbook should first be put into an envelope that is

stamped by the company seal since it has confidential information about the student, and then it

should either be mailed by the company to the Industrial Engineering Department or be handed

directly to the student to be submitted to the Department. In both cases, students are responsible

from the arrival of the Logbook to the Department.

3.2. Report Content

The contents of the reports depend on the questions to be answered and tasks to be accomplished

during the First and Second Summer Trainings. In addition to questions and tasks in IE 300

Summer Training II, there is also Industrial Engineering Problem part as a separate report.

“Questions and Tasks for IE 200 Summer Training I” are organized as 16 items under various

sections. Some of them are introductory type to prepare the student for the future courses in the

curriculum. But the others are somehow practicing the major qualifications gained in the

previous courses. See Appendix C for a Comprehensive List of IE 200 Questions and Tasks.

“Questions and Tasks for IE 300 Summer Training II” are organized in two parts. In the first part

there are a total of 12 questions and task. Similar to the first training again, some of them are

introductory type to prepare the student for the future courses in the curriculum. But most of the

others are somehow practicing the major qualifications gained in the previous courses. In the

second part, there are a total of 8 optional additional detailed tasks, among which they should

accomplished at least two of them. See Appendix D for a Comprehensive List of IE 300

Questions and Tasks.

When a suitable answer is not available or a task cannot be fulfilled, a clear justification of why

the question is not answered or the task cannot be fulfilled should be provided.

3.3. Industrial Engineering Problem for IE 300

The Industrial Engineering Problem part of the IE 300 Summer Training II, could be related with

any topic covered in Industrial Engineering curriculum or can be one of the topics related to

unaccomplished optional additional detailed tasks referred in the previous section. The Industrial

Engineering Problem should include the following parts.

3.3.1. Problem Identification and Definition

This first step is critical. It is essential for the student to have a clear understanding of the

problem as a whole. A good way to define the problem is to write down a concise statement

6

which summarizes the problem and its environment, the current status and finally write down the

goals, where you want to be after the problem has been resolved.

It is essential to develop an objective statement which clearly describes the current condition you

and your company wishes to change. Make sure the problem is limited in the scope so that it is

small enough to realistically tackle and solve. Writing the statement will ensure that everyone

can understand exactly what the problem is. It is important to avoid including any “implied

cause” or “implied solution” in the problem statement. Remember, a problem well stated is a

problem half solved.

3.3.2. Data Gathering and Analysis

In this stage of problem solving, questions should be asked and in return data and information

are gathered. The objective is to get as much information about the problem as possible. This

involves determining what information is critical and how best to obtain it. It often requires

making trade-offs between the types of information and the level of detail and making judgments

about the value of the information relative to the level of effort and cost required to obtain it. Do

not make the mistake of assuming you know what is causing the problem without an effort to

fully investigate the problem environment you have defined. Try to view the problem from a

variety of viewpoints, be an open minded. Investigate how the issue under consideration affects

others. It is essential to spend enough time researching the problem.

Among the possible questions to be asked when analyzing the problem are listed below.

• What is the history of the problem? How long has it existed?

• How serious is the problem?

• What are the causes of the problem?

• What are the effects of the problem?

• What are the symptoms of the problem?

• What methods does the company already have for dealing with the problem?

• What are the limitations of those methods?

• Can the problem be divided into sub problems?

3.3.3. Model Formulation

In this step, the problem should be represented by a model. An analytical model (mathematical

programming-LP, IP, MIP, DP, NLP, differential equations, stochastic processes, decision trees,

statistics, queuing models, etc.) is preferred. However, because of complexity, stochastic

relations, so on, some problems cannot be represented properly by an analytical model. In such

instances, simulation models are the best alternatives.

7

3.3.4. Developing Alternative Solutions, Evaluation of Alternative Solutions and

Proposed Solution(s)

This step requires a mix of using analytical tools and software by using your own creativity.

Applying one of the tools directly is a naive way of solving problems. It is usually required to

apply the mixed combination of tools with which you are equipped in IE courses to generate and

compare the solution alternatives.

Developing a set of evaluation criteria and performance metrics are required for comparing the

alternative solutions. Realizing this is not an easy step including trade-offs and sacrifices, these

criteria are usually needed to be prioritized, either implicitly or explicitly, depending on different

(operator, manager, executive, environment, society, etc.) perspectives.

3.3.5. Sensitivity/Parametric Analyses

Real life is full of uncertainties. Hence, you must treat uncertainty in the problem solving process

through either by post optimality analysis or stochastic treatment of the situation. For example,

information will either be unknown or uncertain, or future requirements may significantly

change over time. It is vital to understand the impact of these on the problem environment so as

to obtain a robust solution over a range of potential scenarios. Thus, it is handy to perform

sensitivity/parametric analyses rather than intractable probabilistic/ stochastic treatments. Your

task in this stage is to vary the value of one parameter while keeping the others fixed to see what

happens to the solution that you suggest.

3.4. Instructions for Preparing the Report

In order to improve the report evaluation procedure, for each training report (IE 200, IE 300, and

IE Problem) a Microsoft Word document file is designed and available on the course web site.

See Appendix E for “IE 200 Summer Training I Report Format”, Appendix F for “IE 300

Summer Training II Report Format” and Appendix G for “IE 300 Summer Training II

Industrial Engineering Problem Report Format”. Students should obey the following

instructions while they are preparing their Summer Training Reports:

1. The Summer Training Report must be prepared using the text editor Microsoft Word and

A4-size paper with 2.5 cm left, 2 cm right, 2 cm top and 2 cm bottom side margin.

2. The report must be written in English, and be free of spelling, typing and grammar errors.

The use of spell/grammar checkers and online dictionaries is recommended. All the

documents referred in the report should be given in English. However, if it is not easy to

completely translate them into English, then they can be presented with a heading and a

summary written in English, which briefly describes the content of the document.

8

3. Style, format, organization and content of the report are important issues to be considered in

evaluation and grading. As a general rule, Times New Roman font with a font size of 12 and

1.5 line spacing should be used.

4. The main headings (such as Table of Contents, Abstract, References, Appendices, etc.) as

well as section headings (such as Introduction, Conclusion, etc.) must be numbered and

written in capital case letters with a font size of 16 and bolt typeface whereas subsection

headings for questions and tasks must be written in small case letters (initial letters being in

capitals) with a font size of 14 and bolt typeface. Subsection and sub-subsection headings

should be consistent with the addressed questions and tasks.

5. Figures and tables should be numbered (such as Figure 1, Table 2, etc.) and captioned (in

small letters with initial letter of the first word being in capital). They should be put in

Appendices if they are not of ultimate importance but they are supporting statements in the

main text by adding detail. Figures, tables and appended materials should be referred in the

main text of the report wherever appropriate using their corresponding numbers.

6. An Abstract, which is a brief description of the purpose of the report, what the student

actually did in the training period, and the outcome of the summer training, should be

provided before the Main Text starting from the Introduction section (which is the first

section) and finishing with the Conclusion section (not including the References).

7. All pages should be given page numbers which are centered at the footer of the page.

Excluding the title page, pages up to the main text should be numbered in Roman numerals

as ii, iii, etc. Starting from the first page of the main text all remaining pages should be

numbered in Arabic numerals starting from 1.

8. The main text of the report should not exceed 25 pages for IE 200 (30 pages for IE 300)

including sectioning and descriptions given the font type, font size and line spacing as

stated above.

9. Students are not allowed to borrow others’ material directly without citation (otherwise, it is

plagiarism) and they should not use unnecessary “filler” material compiled from internet or

other sources.

3.5. Notes for Writing Conclusion

In Conclusion section (which is the last section of the main text) of the report, students are

expected to provide their experience and assessment of the summer training. For that purpose,

9

the following questions should be answered. In addition, students may also add as many ideas

and suggestions as they wish.

If you had another 20 working days in the same company, what would you be equipped

with and why?

Would you suggest this company to your friends for their summer training?

What was the most difficulty in answering questions, fulfilling the tasks or studying the

IE problem, if any?

3.6. Notes for Writing References and Bibliography

If a material is specifically referred within the text, then it should be listed in the References

section; otherwise, it should be listed in the Bibliography section. The information in an entry of

a bibliography is almost identical to the one in a list of references, but the entries are presented

differently. These differences are as follows:

References are numbered and appear in the sequence in which each piece of information

is referred to in the report. That is, the entries are preceded by an identification number

(e.g. starting at "1." or [1]) and arranged in the sequence in which each is referred to in

the report.

Bibliography entries are not numbered, and appear in alphabetical sequence of authors'

family names first.

Times New Roman font with a font size of 10 and 1-line spacing should be used for

references and bibliography entries.

4. SUBMISSION, EVALUATION AND GRADING OF

LOGBOOKS AND REPORTS

The overall assessment of the student’s Summer Training is based on the evaluation of the

Summer Training Logbook and the Summer Training Report.

4.1. Logbook and Report Submission

Both Logbook and Report should be submitted within the first two weeks (before the last day

of add/drop courses) of the academic semester following the training. Deadline for report

and logbook and online submission is announced before the start of Fall Semester.

4.2. Pre-evaluation

During the pre-evaluation stage, initial screening of the logbooks and the reports are made.

4.2.1. Pre-evaluation of Logbooks

The Summer Training Logbook is examined prior to acceptance for evaluation of the student’s

written Summer Training Report.

The Student Evaluation Form results provided by the supervisor in the logbook are translated

into objective scores as follows:

Very Good : 4 points

Good : 3 points

Moderate : 2 points

Poor : 1 point

Not Observed : 0 points

All points under the three categories ‘Personality, Communication Skills, and Work

Performance’ of the logbook are summed up (maximum 56 points). The overall performance

grade with a multiplier value of 6 (maximum of 24 points) is also added in order to obtain a

“training performance score” over 80 points. The minimum acceptable score is 40.00. In

addition, (1/8) of this “training performance score” (maximum of 10 points) will be used

further in the evaluation of the Summer Training Course grade (forming 10% of the overall

grading). Students who have not received those minimum acceptable score will get U

(Unsatisfactory) and their Summer Training Reports will not be evaluated.

Apart from supervisor comments, the following checks are made for Logbook evaluation:

12

Training duration (minimum of four weeks and 20 working days)

Stamps

Signatures

Counterfeit or forgery

Envelope, etc.

4.2.2. Pre-evaluation of Reports and Plagiarism

Plagiarism detection is a part of pre-evaluation. Specialized programs are used as well as

judgmental evaluation to decide if a report has minimal, moderate or high amount of copied

segments of text (if any) from any published work or reports submitted by other students during

the past years. Meticulous attention is given to distinguish the cases of plagiarism from

acceptable reports. A student, who has made use of his/her own work (such as a report which

he/she has written for another course), may have done poor practice, but this does not mean any

breach of honesty. The aim of plagiarism detection by utilizing the plagiarism detection software

is not to punish a student who has not been involved in ethical misconduct. The students who

have prepared the reports are called and questioned whenever necessary.

4.2.3. Pre-evaluation Results

One of the following three possible cases may be observed as a result of the Pre-evaluation of

Logbooks and Reports:

Summer Training Report is marked as eligible for grading if

o the page limit is not exceeded, and

o no plagiarism or minimal amount of plagiarism is detected, and

o no problem is encountered with the logbook.

Summer Training Report is returned to the student if

o the number of pages exceeds the page limit, or

o moderate amount of plagiarism is detected.

This case is considered as Probation. Those students in this position will have to revise

and/or rewrite their reports, and submit both returned and revised reports within 15 days

following the announcement of the Probation position. Softcopy of the revised report

along with relevant files should be submitted in a CD. Students, who are in Probation

position, will have no chance to receive a second P (Probation) grade in case the number

of pages has not been reduced to the page limit or the amount of plagiarism is not

13

decreased in their revised/re-written report. Those students will receive U

(Unsatisfactory) grade from the Summer Training and have to repeat their summer

training in a different company.

Summer Training Report is marked as not eligible for grading at all if one of the

following problems is encountered with the Logbook and the report:

o Logbook is not submitted.

o Logbook is not in an envelope, or its envelope is open, or its envelope has no seal.

o Some missing stamps or signatures are observed in the Logbook.

o Duration of training is insufficient.

o Student performance or program coverage is inadequate.

o Counterfeit or forgery in the Logbook is detected.

o High amount of plagiarism is detected in the report.

Those students in any one of the positions will be considered as Unsatisfactory, and their

Summer Training Reports will not be evaluated. They will receive U grade from the

Summer Training and have to repeat their summer training in a different company. In

addition, students who have submitted a report having high amount of plagiarism will be

treated according to the university by-laws and procedures for Disciplinary Matters.

Depending on the seriousness of the case, it can lead to a suspension from the University

or even permanent expulsion from the University.

4.3. Report Evaluation

Students who pass the pre-evaluation stage are eligible for report evaluation. Report evaluation

has two parts:

Questions/Tasks Part: In this part of the evaluation:

(i) Style, Format and Organization of the Report,

(ii) Introduction and Conclusion,

(iii) Command of English,

(iv) Training Performance Score, and

(v) Accomplishment of Questions and Tasks are evaluated.

“Questions/Tasks Part” grade is given out of 100 points and distributed as:

Style, Format and Organization 12 points

Introduction and Conclusion 6 points (= 3 points x 2)

Command of English 8 points

14

Training Performance Score (1/8) (from Logbook) 10 points

Accomplishment of Questions & Tasks

(IE 200) 64 points (= 4 points x 16)

(IE 300) 64 points (= 4 points x [12 + 2 x 2])

Total = 100 points

Each Question or Task is graded as:

None (0 points): If there is no mention of the Question/Task or the provided answer or

work is totally unrelated.

Poor (1 point): If there is some minimal attempt at accomplishing the Question/Task (an

inappropriately short answer to a question or a minimal amount of work for a task).

Medium (2 points): If there is partial attempt at accomplishing the Question/Task (more

than quarter of the question or the task is accomplished).

Good (3 points): If there is reasonable attempt at accomplishing the Question/Task (more

than half of the question or the task is accomplished).

Excellent (4 points): If the answer to the question or the task accomplished is fully

satisfactory.

One of the following three possible cases may be observed as a result of the first part of the

evaluation:

The grade is 50 points or above and the minimum 40% performance for each of the

five grading categories listed above (Style, Command of English, Questions and

Tasks) is achieved: This is the acceptable level for the report (excluding IE Problem

section).

The grade is at least 40 but less than 50 points or the minimum 40% performance for

each of the three grading categories is not achieved: Those students in this category will

be given Probation. Based on the feedback given by the evaluator, students are expected to

revise their reports and submit both returned (graded) and revised reports within 15 days

following the announcement of the Probation position. Softcopy of the revised report along

with relevant files should also be submitted in a CD. The revised report will be evaluated

by the same evaluator. Students, who are in Probation position, will have no chance to

receive a second P (Probation) grade in case the grade of their revised report is less than

50 points or any of the grading categories are below the acceptable limits. Those students

will receive U (Unsatisfactory) grade from the Summer Training and have to repeat their

summer training in a different company.

The grade is below 40 points: Those students will be considered as Unsatisfactory; they

will receive U grade from the Summer Training and have to repeat their summer training

in a different company.

IE Problem Part : In this part of the evaluation, IE Problem Report (for IE 300 only) is

evaluated. The grade is given out of 100 points and distributed as:

15

Problem Identification and Definition 25 points

Data Gathering and Analysis 15 points

Model Formulation 25 points

Developing Alternative Solutions,

Evaluation of Alternative Solutions,

and Proposed Solution(s) 20 points

Sensitivity/Parametric Analysis 15 points

Total = 100 points

One of the following three possible cases may be observed as a result of the IE problem

evaluation:

The grade is 50 points or above: This is the acceptable level for IE Problem.

The grade is at least 40 but less than 50 points: Those students will be given Probation.

Based on the feedback given by the evaluator, students are expected to revise their IE

problem section and submit both returned (graded) and revised reports within 15 days

following the announcement of the Probation position. Softcopy of the revised report along

with relevant files should also be submitted in a CD. The revised report will be evaluated

by the same evaluator. Students, who are in Probation position, will have no chance to

receive a second P (Probation) grade in case the grade of their revised report is less than

50 points. Those students will receive U (Unsatisfactory) grade from the Summer Training

and have to repeat their summer training in a different company.

The grade is below 40 points: Those students will be considered as Unsatisfactory; they

will receive U grade from the Summer Training, and have to repeat their summer training

in a different company.

4.4. Objections to the Evaluations

Students, who feel strongly that results of the Pre-evaluation and Report Evaluation stages are

improper, have the right of formal appeal. For the results of Pre-evaluation stage, students should

first see the Summer Training Coordinator to get feedback and examine the Pre-evaluation Form.

However, for the results of Report Evaluation stage, they should first see the Report Evaluator to

get feedback and examine the Report Evaluation Form. The objection must be written on a sheet

of paper and be submitted to the Industrial Engineering Department within one week following

the announcement of the evaluation results. Objections will be evaluated and finalized within

one week of receipt of the appeal. In case of objections, the Summer Training Committee is the

ultimate decision maker.
