QSB 4924 Research Dissertation

 

This module covers on the data collection method, writing research methodology chapter, analysis and presentation of results, writing conclusion and recommendations chapter, introduction and literature review chapter.

 

During the first few weeks of lecture, our lecturer, Ms. Theong May Chuan has advised us to narrow down the scope of our research topic due to time and resource restriction. So, I have decided to change my research scope from Malaysia to Selangor as the contractors in Selangor have more experiences in Industrialised Building System (IBS). On the other hand, we are also able to make appointment with her if we needed her to assist us individually and provide us with some useful suggestions. Moreover, my supervisor, Mr.  Chiew Seng Khoon has been following up our progress in doing our research work and assists us when we met any difficulties.

 

My research topic is ‘The Level of Acceptance towards Industrialised Building System (IBS) in construction industry of Selangor’. The dissertation consists of 5 topics which are: introduction, literature review, research methodology, data analysis and conclusion and recommendations. In addition, the dissertation involves a demonstration of effective research combined with clear and concise presentation of between 10,000 to 12,000 words.

 

Throughout this module, I am able to use the knowledge that have been taught in lecture and apply analytical and research skills in closely defined topic areas. Besides that, data and information required is collected by adopting appropriate techniques and tools. The research paper is concluded with a comprehensive research conclusion and summary developed throughout the process.
