CONSTRUCTION TECHNOLOGY 3

Drawings for individual assignment

Since semester 1, we learn about the basic knowledge of construction through Construction Technology 1. For this semester, we have covered about the topics for Construction Technology 3 which includes industrialized building system (IBS), tunnel formwork, retaining wall and so on. These are all the important basic practical and technical knowledge of construction on site which we might come across in our projects in future.

For this module, an individual task followed by a group task is assigned to us to improve our knowledge based on what we had learnt during lecture and tutorials. The individual assignment is to draw and sketch 20 drawings about the components or connection of basic components. For the group assignment, we were required to form a group and create a video regarding of any topic that we have chose. Furthermore, there is also mid term test as well as a final exam for the subject.

After going through the lectures and tutorials by Mr Chiew, I have learnt a lot and gain a lot of knowledge about how different components and formwork are formed during constructions from the simplest to more complicated method of construction. From the individual assignment, I’ve learnt more about the details of connection by sketching the drawings. I manage to learn independently and and be self-reliant which improves my intrapersonal skills. As for group assignment, me and my group members have chosen IBS as our topic for the video assignment. Through the making of video, I had a good experience on how to edit a video followed by the narration of my part in the video which had also improve my digital literacy skills as well as communication skills in either presenting in the video or during discussions with other group members to complete a task. This had really help us a lot in understanding construction process more and will be useful for us in our future working environment.
