Evaluation of Undergraduate Students in Construction and Project Management Course in Term of Cognitive, Psychomotor & Affective Domain: A Case Study on Civil Engineering Students in UiTM Sarawak, Malaysia
One of the required courses for Diploma of Civil Engineering students at Universiti Teknologi MARA is Construction and Project Management (UiTM). This course is essential for students to take before involving the construction sector after graduation. The course objectives are to guarantee that students can describe their understanding of engineering management abilities in the construction industry. This research paper is conducted to assess the performance of civil engineering students who study the project and construction management course in UiTM Sarawak. The evaluation has been analyzed based on the previous four (4) semesters which are the results for July 2018, January 2019, July 2019 and January 2020. A total of 231 students had their performance measured in this study. The study's findings showed that, the performance of the students related to psychomotor and affective domains achieved more than 70% since the last four (4) semesters. Meanwhile, the performance in the cognitive domain ranges between 80 - 92% passing rate. This indicates that the performance of civil engineering students is excellent in conducting Microsoft Project and Autocad Software in their project (psychomotor domain). However, the knowledge of the engineering management skills in the construction industry (cognitive domain) needs some improvement as the average achievement on cognitive is just 55% - 60%. The findings of this study also assist lecturers in determining the performance and understanding of civil engineering students enrolled in construction and project management courses.
