Building Services 1

Our lecturer for Building Services is Ms Lim Tze Shwan. She is a nice lecturer and always gave us a warm and big smile when she saw us.Although Miss Lim is a part timer lecturer,she also very patient and teach us until we understand.

In this semester, the syllabus focuses on Ventilation, Telecommunication, Storm water system, Drainage, sewerage and treatment, Cold water supply, Hot water supply and so on.In this subject, we have an assignment which we needs to do both the report and presentation. 

Group assignment 1:hot water supply systems + Case Study
Through this assignment I learnt  how to identify the application system, installation,process, benefits, problems and anything relevant to hot water supply systems. I gained a lot of useful information of it. We need to find a case study and explain it, but finding the case study was tough and after we found it, all 7 if us have some hard time interpreting what it does and what it means.

Reflection:

In conclusion, it is a very interesting module to study and it completes my knowledge on how buildings work.This module is also almost related to our every day life and let me to know much about the components that complete a building in this module. Now I know that there are various types of ducts and conduits concealed within there compartments that keeps the building running .Besides that.we also know about the water we use and waste, communication between us, our room air purity. As a future quantity surveyor, we must know everything about the materials and the components inside the building, as it is crucial to identify and distinguish each and every one of it.

Construction technology 2

For this semester,our lecturer for Construction Technology 2 is  Mr. Chiew . Mr.Chiew is a very knowledgeable man and i like the way which he taught us because he could always use a easier way to let us know about the topic and what we need to know.Besides that,he keep encourages us to think more and often asks questions but none of us in the class can answers.Even so,he also very patient and telling us what is the answers he asked for.

We have learned topic that includes piling, basement excavation, partitions, scaffolding, precast concrete and some others in this semester.

Furthermore, we have an individual assignment and a group assignment. For the individual assignment, we need to draw about 20 pages of drawing that the lecturer gave.

this is an example of our drawings

For the group assignment, we have to choose 1 topic out of the whole syllabus, which the one we choose is concrete frames buildings.We have done 5 part,which includes foundation,staircase,column,scaffoldings and floors.

Reflection:
In the conclusion,I am so glad to be taught by this lecturer because he made this subject more interesting and fun.I have learnt a lot of construction technology knowledge and it is useful for my future life.

Site Surveying

This is a practical module that involves 2 major field works. It is also counted as two assignments in this modules which are Levelling and Traversing.From this field works, I have learnt about what site surveying is and the basics of carrying out field works.It is a great experience for us to explore the instruments and we can do the field work by ourselves. Besides that, we also have a mid-term that test us from topic 1-topic 3.

Levelling is done with an auto-level. This activity functions mainly to calculate the reduce levels of the site. We did the field work and worked out a report.Next is Traversing. It is significantly more difficult to accomplish as it utilises a Theodolite instead of an auto-level. Setting up take more effort as it requires more precision. In our field work we aim to calculate the distances between points by using the stadia readings taken.

Reflection:In the conclusion,besides learning the theory of site surveying,we also got the opportunity to go hands-on with the various instruments involved, and used them to collect our own readings and prepare a report. I am sure these practical knowledge will be beneficial to us in the industry.

Information Literacy

In this modules,we need to achieved two assignment and one final exam.

Our first completed assignment for Semester 2 is a scientific poster which Colosseum. It carried a unique form of architecture that is unique to the early buildings of Rome. Through research we found out that this building had more stories to tell about and also let us more get to know the background of it. 

Next is group assignment which we have selected KLCC as our topic.We need to find out more information about klcc and we need to go visit it to take video for our assignment.It is a great experience for us to find information and put it inside the video.

Measurement 2

Our measurement lecturer for this semester is Ms.Habizah. She is very friendly and  I can always go to her and ask something that i was not understanding .

In this semester, I've learned about the building structures, and the finishes of the walls and staircases. The description has became more longer and more complex, so we'll have a hard time memorising everything.It is so hard for me to remember everything in the exam and written it down.At the beginning, I wasn't able to cope up with Ms. Habizah 's teaching speed in her lectures . But after going on few lectures later, its more comfortable for me to understand what she teaching.I began to understand how to calculate all the tutorial question which includes staircase finishes, structures, walls elements and the flooring.

For the assignment ,we need to calculate the wall stucture,wall elements,floor finishes and ceiling finishes.This assignment is much easier than the previous semester and we have more relax to do it. 

Reflection: I like this modules very much because it is very useful for my future studies.Measurement 2 is very interesting and i can learn about how to measure and calculate the measurement of whole bungalow.For our group assignment,I am so glad to join with my 7 good friends and we have good co-operations by each other and done our assignment earlier as we can.It is a good experience for us to discuss together for the answer that need to write in the assignment.
