CONSTRUCTION TECHNOLOGY 3

In this module, there are one mid-term test and one assignment for us to access my Taylor’s Graduate Capabilities. In the mid-term test, we need to study Chapter 1 which are the introductions of the industrialized building system (IBS) for the exam. This chapter also one of my favourite chapter in this module. In this chapter, I learned that IBS system is quite commonly in Malaysia. For the assignment, we need to form a group around 5 people, and then find a site to visit which must be IBS on it. Hence, we found a site (Kuala Langat Indah Dan Harmoni) which located at banting. At the site, we saw the Portal Frame which is one of the IBS system.  Besides the sketches and drawings, I learned how to communicate with the officers or surveyors or contractors at the construction site (Kuala Langat Indah Dan Harmoni). In the construction site, safety measure is an important issue for all the worker, visitor or staff. . In conclusion, I had received a lot of knowledge in this semester. I believed that I will be used my knowledge that study in this module when I go to work.
 

 












 


MEASUREMENT 3

In this module, there are one mid-term test and one assignment for us to access my Taylor’s Graduate Capabilities. Both of test and assignment are focused on same chapter (Window & Door) which we studied at the first half of semester 3. In the assignment, our group choose level 30 & level 31 of Tabung Haji for our building to measure the window and door of it. There is no windows inside the drawings, so we just measuring the door details only.  There are a lot of things that not given in the drawings, so we need to assume and scale for it. For examples, type of ironmongeries and door frame details are not given in legend. We also required to assume some thickness of the door frame and door leaf. Besides thickness, we need to assume the type of the paints used for the doors.  In addition, differences in writing-up descriptions for different door leaf and painting also important in doing the Bills of Quantities. In conclusion, I had received a lot of knowledge in this semester. I believed that I will be used my knowledge that study in this module when I go to work.











 










BUILDING SERVICE 2

This module is an important subject for us to understand the principles of service systems in a building. We are required to study some basics knowledge before we worked as a quantity surveyor. In this module, I learned how to extinguish the fire when there is an occurrence of fire. For the assignment, our lecturer, Mr Teh Bin Sin required us to select one of the topics of this module and find a building as our case study and then present it. For our group, we choose fire protection system as our topic and Taylor’s University Lakeside Campus, Block E for our case study. We faced some problem when we were preparing the report. We don’t ever know that which type of fire protection system used at Block E, so we find the officer at Taylor’s University and asked them for the detail. In this assignment, I learned how the fire protection system works and functions at different situations. For the presentation, I learned how to present clearly and communicate with each others. In conclusion, I had received a lot of knowledge in this semester. I believed that I will be used my knowledge that study in this module when I go to work.

 




MANAGEMENT SCIENCE
 


To be honestly, for me Management Science is the subject which I not really familiar and it is totally new thing for me at the beginning of the semester 3. This module is an important subject for us to understand the principles of management in several ways. It is really useful for us when we work as a team. In fact, I learned a lot of skills in this module such as time management, leadership, communication, human resource management and others. In all the chapter of this module, time management is my favourite topic that I learned because my group was doing this topic in the assignment. For the assignment, we need to produce a video about the topic that given by lecturer. Brainstorming is an important issue when we are doing our video, we must think a lot of idea to make the video more interesting.  Besides, I also learned how to manage time in my daily life after I studied this module. In conclusion, I had received a lot of knowledge in this semester. I believed that I will be used my knowledge that study in this module when I go to work.
