Despite all the technologies available, the proper method of managing the students is still left behind. Accordingly, there is a need to put together an automated system that will handle the SIWES management process from its beginning to the end. This project focuses on studying the existing methods of managing SIWES students at the Faculty of Computer Sciences and Information Technology (FCSIT); with the view of developing and implementing a web based solution. The study, however, reviewed related literature and performed system analysis and design of the new system. The system was developed using the laravel framework with HTML, CSS, JavaScript and PHP as the languages. The major problems covered are Student to supervisor allocation, SIWES place Selection, SIWES place recommendation, logbook management and web based chat between the users. In the course of implementation, the system was uploaded online under the sub domain siwes.fcsit.net. At the end of the project we found that more than 90% of the systems associated to the SIWES programme are web based and it is recommended for future studies to build mobile applications. Also, the data stored can be used to allocate project supervisors using similarity in their skills. We further recommend the utilisation of the system as it will bring efficiency and effectiveness in the management of SIWES students in the faculty.
