COURSE OUTCOMES
1. Ability to EMPLOY the relevant construction technology of deep foundation, basement and
steel structures. (CLO1, C3)
2. Ability to INTEGRATE in written report and verbal forms, the relevant construction
technology of deep foundation, basement and steel structures. (CLO2, P4)

of deep foundation, basement and steel structures. (CLO3, A4)
ASSIGNMENT MEASURED OUTCOMES
Simulation Report will measure students’ perception, knowledge and understanding to reflect
students formal and informal acquired knowledge of deep foundations, basements and steel
structures through written skills.

This assignment will tap on students’ perception, knowledge and understanding on the
installation and process of deep foundation, basement construction process and steel
structure construction.

ASSESSMENT RUBRICS
1. Each group written report assignment will be divided into two (2) main part. Grading for
each part will be given marks based from the following rubrics: -

PART A: WRITTEN REPORT (10 MARKS)

• 10 marks (Excellent)
Excellent and clear introduction and overview of the topic. Observation results are
clearly and effectively discussed and reflected logically with relevant pictures. Very
smooth flow of ideas and expression. Conclusion is presented clearly. List of
references are presented clearly with correct format. Excellent organization of report
(cover, page number, header/footer, acknowledgment, table of content, appendices).

• 8 – 9 marks (Good)
Good introduction and overview the topic. Observation results are good and discussed;
and reflected logically with relevant pictures. Smooth flow of ideas and expression.
Conclusion is presented well. List of references is presented with correct format. Good
organization of report (cover, page number, header/footer, acknowledgment, table of
content, appendices).

• 5 - 7 marks (Average)
Introduction is introduced and somewhat discussed. Observation results are
introduced but not clearly reflected. There is moderate attempt to present the
observation results clearly, effectively and logically but somehow some pictures
provided are not that relevant to the topic discussed. Conclusion is moderately
presented. List of references are moderately presented in the correct format. Average
organization of report (cover, page number, header/footer, acknowledgment, table of
content, appendices).
• 2 - 4 marks (Poor)
Introduction is introduced and somewhat irrelevant. Observation result is introduced
and somewhat discussed. There is poor attempt to present the observation results
clearly, effectively and logically and most some pictures provided are not that relevant
to the topic discussed. Conclusion is irrelevant. List of references are presented with
poor format to no references. Poor organization of report (cover, page number,
header/footer, acknowledgment, table of content, appendices).

• 1 mark = very poor / duplication of work

• 0 = late submission / non-submission

PART B: WRITTEN REPORT WITH HAND SKETCHES (15 MARKS)

• 15 marks (Excellent)
Excellent and clear introduction and overview of the topic. Observation results are
clearly and effectively discussed, reflected logically with relevant hand sketches.
Excellent hand sketches with appropriate annotation are provided in the report. Very
smooth flow of ideas and expression. Conclusion is presented clearly. List of
references are presented clearly with correct format. Excellent organization of report
(cover, page number, header/footer, acknowledgment, table of content, appendices).

• 10 – 14 marks (Good)
Good introduction and overview the topic. Observation results are good and discussed,
reflected and logically with relevant hand sketches. Good hand sketches with
appropriate annotation are provided in the report. Smooth flow of ideas and expression.
Conclusion is presented well. List of references are presented with correct format.
Good organization of report (cover, page number, header/footer, acknowledgment,
table of content, appendices).

• 6 - 9 marks (Average)
Introduction is introduced and somewhat discussed. Observation results are
introduced but not clearly reflected. There is moderate attempt to present the
observation results clearly, effectively and logically but some of the hand sketches are
not clearly drawn with poor annotation are provided in the report. Hand sketches
 provided are not that relevant to the topic discussed. Conclusion is moderately
presented. List of references are moderately presented in correct format. Average
organization of report (cover, page number, header/footer, acknowledgment, table of
content, appendices).

• 2 - 5 marks (Poor)
Introduction is introduced but somewhat irrelevant. Observation result is introduced
and somewhat discussed and there are a few numbers of hand sketches provided in
the report but not appropriately drawn with a few or no annotation at all. Hand sketches
provided are not relevant at all with the topic discussed. There is poor attempt to
present the observation results clearly, effectively and logically and most some pictures
provided are not that relevant to the topic discussed. Conclusion is irrelevant. List of
references are presented with poor format or no references. Poor organization of report
(cover, page number, header/footer, acknowledgment, table of content, appendices).

• 1 mark = very poor / duplication of work

• 0 = late submission / non-submission

2. All written report must include all the following contents: -

PART A: WRITTEN REPORT

c) Benefit gained from the videos.
d) Conclusion.
e) References.
f) Report organization.

PART B: WRITTEN REPORT WITH HAND SKETCHES

a) Introduction.
b) Observation results with hand sketches that explain the method of construction OR
method of installation of relevant construction.
c) Benefit gained from the videos.
d) Conclusion.
 e) References.
f) Report organization.

INSTRUCTION
In a group of four (4) or five (5) members, prepare a report based on your observation of a
