Dissertation is the second part of thesis which is
also an independent research work based on our topic of interest. This module
is the continual part of Research Methodology Module in previous semester.
The topic of my dissertation is ‘Sustainable Aspects of
Industrialised Building System and the Most Affecting Challenges faced by
Contractors in Pursuing Sustainable Development through IBS’. In this module, Research
Methodology (Chapter 3), Data Analysis (Chapter 4), Conclusion and
Recommendation (Chapter 5) have been developed. In completing the thesis,
questionnaire survey has been constructed and being sent to the selected scope to
conduct data analysis. Throughout the entire research process, I found that
time management is very important to keep every step and task on track. Also,
systematic and orderly mind is needed to increase the quality and effectiveness
of the research. By developing the thesis, writing skills are improved by referring to literature review and other reading sources. Furthermore, knowledge in the particular research area is as well gained.
We had Quiz (treasure hunt) after thesis submission. To
conduct the game, we were to set 4 questions and solve the questions set by
other group. Without team spirit, the questions couldn’t be solved
by the end of the Quiz session as contribution by every members count.
A week after Quiz, VIVA has been conducted where five
students were being selected to present their entire thesis. In fact, it took quite an effort to present their entire thesis in front of panels
and students.
Looking back on the first day of choosing the thesis
topic, I gained better understanding about Industrialised Building System now.
Besides establishing relationship between the research objectives with adoption
among the contractors, a new relationship has been found at the end of this research.
Thus, I would like to express my sincere appreciation
and gratitude to my supervisor, Sr Lam Soon Tatt for his continuous guidance
towards accomplishing this dissertation. Also, I would like to thank Dr Kam
Khen Jhun for his patient consultation and advice throughout the research
process.
