The lecturer for this subject is Mr Chai Voon Chiet. Total credit hours is 4. The assessment plan is divided into four components, which are Mid-Term test, Individual Assignment, Final Examination and TGC Portfolio. Each component except TGC Portfolio sums up assessment weightage to 100%.
For Mid-Term test, it covered all the topics that we have studied for the first 7 weeks. Basically the questions are about resolving all internal and external forces and method of joints. For individual assignment, each of the student has to resolve a question given into a graphical method. For Final Examination, basically it covers all the chapters that we have studied for the whole 14 weeks in this semester.
At the end of this semester, I am able to identify and resolve all the internal and external forces. Also, I am able to explain the action of structural elements and complete systems. Furthermore, I can interpret the application of the total integration of structural functions and actions with the overall design objectives. I am able to plan all aspects of design, in collaboration with structural engineers, in order to realize their design concepts.
Overall, it gives me a good exposure to understand the perspective view of a civil engineers.
