Psychomotor Domain

Previous studies highlighted the challenges in assessing psychomotor skills in engineering education when using online platforms. The main aim of this study was to examine the effectiveness of learning psychomotor skills online in Civil Engineering Design Project during the pandemic. This paper discusses the challenges faced in assessing the psychomotor domain in Civil Engineering Design Project during the pandemic and the immediate actions taken during the semester. New structural engineering software was used as the initial software was not accessible outside campus. The greatest challenge for lecturers was to learn the new software within a short period and to implement the use of the new software in their teaching and learning activities as well as in the students’ assessments. New evaluation rubrics were created to assess students’ psychomotor skills in using the new software for course assessments. Marks were allocated to each practicalskill identified in completing the assessments. Students’ grade attainments of the two course outcomes mapped to the psychomotor domain show that more than 85% of students were able to achieve the KPI of 50% for the two course outcomes. This shows that most students were able to grasp the relevant practical skills required in the course when taught via ODL.

Soft Foundation

The vacuum preloading technique has often applied for underwater soft foundation improvement in intertidal zones. However, in those construction activities, the variant water pressure loading has not been considered and the vacuum load was just taken as the vacuum pressure below membrane. This treatment was obviously conservative. This research aims to analyze the effect of variant water pressure on membrane on the soil improvement, and proposes the determination method of vacuum load for vacuum preloading technique in intertidal zones, serving as a valuable reference for engineering design.
