Youth Volunteerism

Contributing their time and efforts to help lood victims in 2014 through the IEM-YES Disaster Relief Operation 1.0 and 2.0, is just the beginning for enthusiastic young engineers

This year’s Northeast Monsoon has arrived. The wet season, which began in November and expected to last until March 2016, is already bringing strong winds and rain to areas on the eastern stretch of the peninsula.

Lastyear,thewindsweresostrongandrainfallsounusually heavy that Kelantan experienced the worst floods in the past decade while some other states suffered heavy floodingaswell.Thepolice,variousgovernmentagencies and many volunteer groups, rallied to help the flood victims.

The Young Engineers Section (YES) of The Institution of Engineers, Malaysia (IEM) lent a helping hand through the IEM-YES Disaster Relief Operation 1.0 and 2.0, an initiative launched in 2014.

Here, two young engineers relate their first-hand experience on ground zero.

Engr. Vivekasugha Alif Gunaalan, who is from IEM’s Graduate and Student Section and chairman of YES as well as a volunteer of the disaster relief operation team, recalled that the flooding began on 17 December, 2014, in Kelantan and Terengganu.

YES immediately launched the IEM-YES Disaster Relief Operation 1.0 on 27 December, to collect food supplies, clothing and other essential items to be sent to the

victims. Apart from the IEM head quarters in Petaling Jaya, Selangor, YES Branches in Penang, Pahang and Sarawak also did their part and collected from members in those states. About three tons of goods were collected and the last of the supplies was sent on 18 January, 2015, with the help of the Royal Malaysian Air Force (TUDM).

"When the loods fully receded in February 2015, YES did a site investigation in March to identify a village that urgently required help in the form of manpower and materials.

The relief efforts did not stop there. Engr. Vivekasugha said that when the floods fully receded in February 2015, YES did a site investigation in March to identify a village that urgently required help in the form of manpower and materials. Thus Kampung Batu Bor in Bera, Pahang, became part of the IEM-YES Flood Relief Operation 2.0, Rebuild & Recreate.

OnMay30-31thisyear,agroupofvolunteers,including those from the IEM HQ and Pahang Branch, helped to clean, repair and repaint the Dewan Belia (Youth Hall) in the village. They also held a motivational session for the village children with a focus on career choices and played a friendly futsal match with the youngsters. YES also contributed food supplies to poor families at the village.

“The night was a big adventure for some in the group, especially those who had never gone camping before, as we camped right next to the Pahang River, the longest river in the peninsula,” said Engr. Vivekasugha.

EVERY HELPING HAND COUNTS

Another volunteer is Engr. Azhar Azmi, also from the Graduate and Student Section. Recalling the IEM-YES Disaster Relief Operation 1.0 and 2.0, he said the start of 2015 was a sad time for the country as lives had been lost and homes destroyed in the floods.

Many people were displaced and in need of supplies. Some had no access to electricity and there was no food orcleanwaterwhileroadswerecutoffbythefloodwaters.

“Remarkably, support came from citizens around the country. NGOs, IEM, government agencies, companies, associations, clubs, families and individuals stepped forwardtolendahandafterreadingthenewsandseeing the pictures of destruction in the media,” said Engr. Azhar.

“IEM and the NGOs did whatever we could. Sections and Branches within IEM discussed how we could help. For members of IEM-YES, it was apparent that something had to be done and quickly.”

According to Engr. Azhar, the IEM-YES disaster relief strategy involved two stages. The first stage was named IEM-YES Disaster Relief 1.0. During that time, many roads were still flooded, so YES relied on the military to send the critically needed supplies to the affected.

“We hoped that our efforts would ease the sufferings of the flood victims. Finally, when the flood waters

receded, many victims found their houses covered with mud, destroyed or carried away by the raging floodwaters. Although the immediate danger was over, the painstaking task of rebuilding was just beginning,” he said.

"

In the second stage, IEMYES Disaster Relief 2.0, the focus was on fixing flood-damaged facilities. Engr. Azhar recalled that many places were badly affected and in need of repair.

After careful consideration, they picked Kampung Batu Bor, near Temerloh.

“Thanks to IEM members who were active in the rural communities, YES was able to get in touch with village headman Hj. Shamsuddin and the area’s Jawatan Kuasa Kampung. After discussions with Hj. Shamsuddin, YES members visited the village to see how YES could help,” he said.

The village community hall, futsal court, mosque, youth centre and some houses were submerged in 2m-deep floodwaters because they were located next to the Pahang River. The school, initially established as an evacuation centre, could not be used eventually.

“Representing the Construction Industry Development Board (CIDB) was Encik Rosdan who brought his whole family along to help. The two-day, one-night trip involved not only repair work but also taking part in community events with the villagers,” said Engr. Azhar.

“We had a sharing session with the young children on the role of an engineer. Very few of them have actually met an engineer. At the end of the sharing session, the children were delighted to be given souvenirs by IEM Pahang Branch.”

After a long day, the villagers offered the female volunteers a place to sleep in their homes while the male volunteers set up camping tents on the bank of the Pahang River.

Engr. Azhar continued: “The next day, our task was to repair the damaged youth centre. This involved giving it a coat of fresh paint and repairing the electrical system so that it could function again. That was a learning experience for many volunteers as some had never painted a building before. They did their best and enjoyed the experience. Volunteers from IEM Pahang explained how to fix the electrical system.

“The task took two days, a lot of sweat and ended with paint smudges on our clothes and hands. Finally, it was finished and both villagers and volunteers were happy to see the youth centre looking as good as new. After a delicious lunch prepared by the villagers, IEM handed over IEM T-shirts and some supplies for the villagers to Hj. Shamsuddin.”

It was the first camping experience for Engr. Azhar.

“I am delighted to have shared it with fellow YES members. It was just the beginning of more exciting activities with YES,” he added.

“We would like to thank the Mechanical Engineering Technical Division (METD) which organised a course on flood Emergency Response Planning where the surplus generated were used to finance our activities at Kampung Batu Bor. We would also like to thank our donors and volunteers as without them, our efforts might not have become reality.

"

" IEM and the NGOs did whatever we could. Sections and branches within IEM discussed how we could help. For members of IEM-YES, it was apparent that something had to be done and quickly.

“Considering that this was the first relief effort organised by IEM and in partnership with a few Branches, what we had achieved might not be as significant as that done by thegovernmentorotherNGOs,butYESprovedthatyoung engineers too, are part of the socially responsible society.”

Engr. Azhar said YES hoped the relief effort would be continuedattheASEANlevelthroughtheYoungEngineersof ASEAN Federation of Engineering Organisations (YEAFEO)“ to prove that, as engineers, "WE ARE ONE”.

VAST POTENTIAL FOR YOUTH VOLUNTEERISM

Malaysia is actively promoting volunteerism as a new lifestyle for its multiracial society as part of efforts to make the country a hub and model for voluntary works. The 1Malaysia For Youth (1M4U) initiative, among others, aims to educate society, especially the young generation, to do voluntary works. Based on the 2010 population census, there are 11.3 million youths between the ages of 15 and 40, or 41% of the country’s 28 million people.

International studies show that a country’s success is not measured merely on its progress and development but also onmakingvolunteerismawayoflife.InJapan,forexample, volunteerism has become a culture among its people.

Volunteerism is about the willingness and sincerity to contribute to society, especially the needy. It provides

opportunities to share and exchange ideas, knowledge and skills with others, in addition to making new friends.

In ASEAN where 60% of the population is under the age of 35, the ASEAN Youth Volunteer Programme (AYVP) which is supported by our Ministry of Youth & Sports and US organisations, promotes regional integration by enabling youth to participate in volunteer opportunities that build awareness about regional challenges.

Recognising the importance of young engineers and volunteerism, IEM encourages youth participation in activities to prepare them to become contributing members of society. In Malaysia and in ASEAN, IEM is instilling the spirit of volunteerism “the IEM way” by encouraging YES members to be actively involved in social work.

According to the United Nations on youth and volunteerism, youths contribute over US$35 billion a year in volunteer hours and are more likely, than any other age group, to have volunteered informally in the past years.

Young people are key agents for social change. They provide the energy, creative ideas and determination to drive innovation and reform. In addition, they increasingly feel that volunteerism complements formal education in teaching skills that are required in the job market, such as leadership, teamwork, problem solving, planning, management, creativity, communication and negotiation. This is especially important given the current global economic downturn where competition for employment is increasing.

Noting the enormous potential for youth volunteerism, the UN entities working on youth issues, encourage policymakers,communitiesandyouthtoempoweryoung people as a reliable but under-utilised resource.

With young people representing at least 18% of the world population, youth volunteering facilitates access

to work and contributes to the making of young leaders for today and tomorrow. In fact, according to the UN, volunteerism is an increasingly popular mechanism for young people to bring about positive change in society.

IEM DISASTER RELIEF TEAM

In 2014, at a briefing by Mercy Malaysia and RedR, the two major organisations in Malaysia providing humanitarian relief during crises, there were suggestions on the formation of an IEM Disaster Relief Team and the training requirements for such a team.

It was envisaged that the Disaster Relief Team would be sent to disaster-stricken zones (areas affected by severe floods, earthquakes, fires and so forth) to provide engineering relief, sustainable engineering-related development and risk reduction activities for vulnerable communities, particularly during a crisis.

The IEM Standing Committee on Welfare And Service Matters will take on the task of forming the relief team with regards to resources, to be assisted in operational matters by YES, Graduate Engineers and Women Engineers Sections.

ThiswouldbeinlinewithIEM'saspirationstobeasocially responsible organisation and to be involved in providing humanitarian aid, especially in providing engineering and technical support for disaster relief works.

In order to set up a full-fledged engineering team, it is expected to comprise representatives from the civil/structural, mechanical and electrical sections. The selected team members will be equipped with competency skills so that they will be ready and able to respond to humanitarian needs and major disasters such as devastating floods.

The members will then act as mentors to new team members. IEM will mobilise the right people with the right skills to help communities rebuild and recover in times of crisis or disasters.

IEM was extremely concerned over the 2014 monsoon floods which resulted in loss of lives, damage to properties and public infrastructure amounting to more than RM1 billion and affected the livelihoods of about 200,000 people.

Sustainable Construction Needed “S

ustainable Construction”may seem like big words but the idea is simple and the impact far-reaching, affecting each of us individually.

The Institution of Engineers Malaysia (IEM), which represents all fields of engineering, believes that Sustainability is an issue of interest for all stakeholders in the engineering industry. We at IEM would like to address its importance and the pressing need for Malaysia to adopt it with greater vigour.

In simple words, Sustainable Construction aims to meet present-day needs for housing, working environment and infrastructure without compromising future needs. Sustainable consumption and production are important to be incorporated because it promotes economic growth without compromising the environment or jeopardising the needs of future generations. This means efficient use of natural resources, minimising use of hazardous substances and reducing pollution and waste.

In Malaysia, the Government has been promoting Sustainability initiatives since year 2000 and ever since then, many pilot projects have been initiated. At the Copenhagen 15th Conference of the Parties (COP-15), the Government of Malaysia has committed to adopt an indicator of voluntary reduction of up to 40% in terms of emissions intensity of GDP by the year 2020 compared to year 2005 levels.

Aware of the need for Sustainable Construction, the government has initiated many Sustainable and energy-efficient programmes such as Minimum Energy Performance Standards (MEPS), Small Renewable Energy Power Programme (SREP) by the Energy Commission (ST), Feed-in Tariff (FiT) by SEDA and Building Sector Energy Efficiency Project (BSEEP) by Public Works Department (JKR).

However, the major challenge in implementing Sustainability methods in the Construction Industry is to achieve win-win outcomes in order to attain mutual benefits for the environment and the industry’s economic cost benefits.

By raising awareness among buyers to demand for Sustainable houses, housing developers will be pushed to improve Specifications of their development projects

which should include certain Sustainable elements to attract buyers. Long-term commercial developments will eventually see the benefits of cost saving in adopting Sustainable Construction and green technologies, where the maintenance cost of the building and infrastructure will reduce in the long run. All these would result in overall savings. On the marketing side, developers can also promote the long-term cost savings of their development that complies with the Green Rating that promotes energy efficiency.

However, there are still some obstacles towards the implementation of Sustainable Construction. Cost is still the main priority of any development. Obviously, Sustainable Construction increases project cost. Developers must be convinced that solving Sustainability issues will add value to the development and the public should be prepared to pay a higher entry cost to enjoy such benefits. Unfortunately, the industry still lacks understanding. As such, more construction players should be involved in Sustainable Construction and be encouraged to deepen their knowledge on Sustainable Construction.

The government should play more active roles to promote Sustainable Construction such as providing incentives to developers to promote Sustainability in their projects and to promote new developments which adopt Green Technology by encouraging developments with Green Rating. Tax incentives can be given to developers which achieve certain Green Rating.

The government can also lead by example where government and GLC projects should specify Green Rating, Energy Efficiency and Sustainable Construction as a requirement in Project Specifications as an important strategy to ensure contractors adopt the concept of SustainableConstruction.

IEM is a learned society for the engineering fraternity and we have been actively promoting the concept of Sustainable Construction to our members. We do this by increasing their level of knowledge and awareness on the concept of Sustainability as well as Sustainable Construction.

IEM will continue to organise training sessions with regard to Sustainable Construction, Energy Efficiency and Green Technology

to disseminate knowledge on the latest techniques and technologies to our members.

We have also been actively engaging various stakeholders in government agencies such Energy Commission (ST), Sustainable Energy Development Authority Malaysia (SEDA), JKR, MiGHT, Sustainable Development Solutions Network (SDSN), Construction Industry Development Board (CIDB), the local councils and more, to develop strategies for the nation’s Sustainability agenda.

The development of Sustainable Cities should place high importance on enhancing green-based development and optimising low carbon resources. Environmentfriendly practices such as green buildings, green lifestyles and Sustainable consumption and production should be embedded in the development of Sustainable Cities.

Sustainability is not just about green and efficient cities. Sustainability refers to the efficient use of limited resources such as water, land, energy and other raw materials as well as the holistic management of residues (solid waste, effluents or gas emissions).

Sustainability is about you, us and the future generation. Let’s join our hands to work for our future together.

Revised Professional Interview (PI) Process

Ir. Lee Boon Chong, BSc, MSc, DIC, P Eng., C Eng., Int.PE., APEC Eng., ASEAN Eng., FIEM, MIET, MMIM, CCPM, PMP has more than 30 years of experience in the industry. Ir. Lee is currently IEM Vice President, chairing the Standing Committee on Examinations and Publications.

In2014,IEMembarkedonrevisingtheexistingProfessionalInterview(PI)Process and Practice as part of periodic review for improvement. The objectives of this revision include:

• Establishing a competency-based professional interview by benchmarking a well-established outcome-based competence standard.

• Developing rubrics with common yardsticks for rating PI candidate in order to minimise subjectivity of assessment in both the oral interview and the written papers.

• Revising current PI Process complete with related documentation to support the above-mentioned.

In benchmarking an outcome-based competence standard, IEM has opted to adopt and adapt:

• The United Kingdom Standard for Professional Engineering Competence (UKSPEC) for Chartered Engineers mainly for the oral interview.

• The Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) Model, which is more generic and readily applicable to almost all engineering disciplines, since IEM is the Institution for all engineering disciplines.

The revised version retains the main structure of existing PI Process in that it consists of two essential parts, namely the documentary review and professional interview, i.e.the professional interview is made up of oral interview and essays writing.

As a result of this endeavour, a guidebook titled IEM Guidebook On Revised Professional Interview Process was developed.

IEM Professional Interview is governed by the IEM Regulations on Professional Interview. The Guidebook On Revised Professional Interview Process forms part of the PI Regulations.

As with all live systems, this Revised Professional Interview Process will undergo periodic review and changes in the continuous effort to enhance its quality and to keep up with the most up-to-date development in professional engineering competence assessment.

Initially, the Revised PI Process will be implemented in parallel with the existing PI Process. This will continue until such time when a date is determined for the Revised Process to supplant the existing Process.

The implementation of the Revised PI Process will need a pool of suitably qualified and trained Interviewers and Assessors.

For this purpose, a series of training and certification workshops have been scheduled and conducted.

Attending the training workshop is on an invitation basis because the target group for training will have to meet the prevailing requirements for PI Interviewers and Assessors.

In the meantime, a series of talks have been conducted concurrently to brief and prepare Graduate Members as the main target group for PI applicants or candidates. The response has been positive and encouraging.

What It Takes to be a Good Engineer

IHAVE been an academic and practising engineer since I graduated with an engineering degree in the 1980s. In recent years, I have been regularly invited to give talks and share my experience with enthusiastic engineering students at universities and eager young engineers as part of their career development.

The most common questions asked by these young people are about their future in the engineering field, the role of engineers, what to expect as engineers and what it takes to be a good engineer.

I remind them that engineers have played important roles in many of the great inventions and technology in the world today.

Everything from space flights, ocean exploration and great structures on earth require the work of an engineer.

Therefore, to be a good engineer, one must possess certain qualities and skills.

A good engineer must have a vast amount of technical knowledge and be competent in a specific engineering discipline.

Traditional engineering disciplines are civil, electrical, mechanical and chemical engineering.

But in modern practice, with emerging technology in areas such as aerospace, microelectronics, nanotechnology, biomedical among others, engineering is becoming multidisciplinary.

There are more specialised engineering disciplines than before and all require specific technical knowledge and competency.

However, engineering is based on mathematics and science and if one has a strong foundation in these subjects, it certainly helps.

If people ask me what engineers do, I would say a great portion of our work is solving problems.

So a good engineer must be able to think logically to figure out where the problem stems from and quickly find a solution.

Thus, having problem-solving skills together with the ability to think logically is important.

Creativity is another important quality. A good engineer must be able to think of new and innovative ways to develop new systems while making existing things work more efficiently.

By nature, an engineer should be inquisitive and must have excellent analytical skills to continually examine things and think of ways to help things work better.

Ir. Mohd Khir Muhammad

Ir. Mohd Khir Muhammad is a Council Member and currently serves in the Excomm. He is the past chairman of the IEM southern branch.

We tend to only listen to the views of bosses and in meetings we hardly create the opportunity for subordinates to speak and offer ideas.

A good engineer must also listen and encourage subordinates, such as technicians, to give suggestions. They sometimes can provide good solutions to engineering problems.

Currently, in some areas of engineering, changes in technology are happening rapidly, for example in computing and micro-electronics.

To stay on top in the industry, an engineer must keep abreast of new technology, research innovation and ideas.

Therefore, a life-long learning activity or continuing education is important for engineers to improve their

Effective Communication and Connection with People

Ir. Dr Oh Seong Por (PhD, P.Eng)

Ir. Dr Oh Seong Por, holds a PhD in Engineering from University Technical Malaysia Melaka, a Master in Engineering (Manufacturing System) from Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia and a Bachelor of Science (Mechanical) from Hanyang University, Korea. Currently he is the Deputy Managing Director of Samsung SDI Energy (Malaysia). He has 25 years experience in running high volume production operation. He is a keen lean practitioner especially in the ield of manufacturing and product design. He is also a committee member of the standing committee on information and publication, IEM and member of the Malaysian Institute of Management, MIM.

The word communication comes from the Latin word, communicare, which means to impact or to make common. Getting to that requires transformation and transmission of information. To have effective communication, the information that is transmitted must establish a connection between the speaker and the listener.

AccordingtoleadershipexpertJohnC.Maxwell, connection in communication is the ability to identify with people and to relate to them in a way that increases one’s influence on them. The ability to communicate and connect with others is an important determining factor for an engineertoreachhisorherpotential.Therefore, to become successful, an engineer must learn how to communicate effectively.

Engineering is defined as the application of science and mathematics to solve problems. However, in the context of communication, engineeringmaybeviewedasatransformation process in which information is received, converted in some ways and the results or output transmitted to others (as illustrated in Figure 1).

The information input may consist of the work statement, directives, company standards and practices. The engineering transformation involves a complex process of analysis using trained skills, technical experiences as well as practicalutilisationoftheknowledgeofscience and mathematics which is largely hidden to outsiders.

The information output can be in the form of physical models, technical drawings, design specifications and technical reports. Unless the information output is properly communicated and connected, the meticulous engineering transformation process may be of little use. Yet, many engineers lose interest once a problem is solved and are often reluctant to prepare a concise report or to document the results

which may be useful for effectively connecting with outsiders or receivers. There have been numerous reports that “engineers cannot communicate” and that young engineers face great difficulty in expressing themselves and interacting with business communities.

Many parties have expressed their concerns over this and have strongly recommended that university authorities incorporate writing, oral and interpersonal communication skill subjects as part of engineering courses.

MODELLING THE COMMUNICATION PROCESS

Information input, transformed, output, transmitted, received and connected is the basic flow for effective communication in engineering.Figure2showsthecommunication model process (slightly modified) developed by Koontz and Weihrich. Each step is described as follows:

a) Engineering transformation process that analyses and synthesises problems as provided by information input. Results or output are encoded into English or other languages, a computer code, mathematical expression, technical drawing, design specification or technical report with special consideration of the nature of the intended receiver.

b) The code must them be transmitted via some selected medium as listed in Figure 3. The engineer must think carefully and choose the right medium which will give an effective impact and connection to the receiver.

c) The reception of the message may be hindered because of distraction (noise) inhibiting the transmission or causing inattention on the part of the receiver. Examples are delay in schedule, change in intention of the receiver, interference from

Figure 1: Engineering as a transformation process

other parties or special demand with regards to work contents.

d) The message is then decoded, which is effective only if boththesenderandreceiverattachthesimilarmeanings to the symbols used in the message.

e) Connect is when the receiver or client understands the intended message delivered by the engineer.

f) Feedback is very essential for effective communication. It enables the engineer to determine exactly what the receiver understands and to correct any miscommunicated message.

COMPARISON OF COMMUNICATION METHOD BY ENGINEER

1. Characteristic

Communication can be transmitted in many ways, each with its own advantages and disadvantages, as indicated in Figure 3 below.

2. Retention of information

According to Babcock & Morse, studies have proved that a learning experience which uses bio-sensors (audio, visual) and active participation, has a significant impact on the retention of information as summarised in the following:

We tend to rememberWhen our involvement is 10% of what we readpassive reading 20% of what we hearpassive verbal receiving 30% of what we seepassive visual receiving 50% of what we hear and see passive visual receiving 70% of what we sayreceiving and participating 90% of what we say and dobeing

Figure 2: Communication (in Engineering) Process Mode

Figure 3: Characteristics of Common Communication Method

3. Effectiveness

According to author Thomas B Smith, effectiveness in transmitting information that can connect with the receiver is also determined by the media of communication. In the order of decreasing effectiveness, these are:

1. Verbal plus written presentation

2. Verbal only

3. Written only.

For effective communication, it is recommended that the engineer utilises both the verbal and written approach. For example, prepare in detail a written analysis with perhaps a graphic or drawing presentation which will appeal to the understanding level of the receiver. Make an attempt to approach the client or receiver and explain information output of the written material as mentioned earlier.

It is common to see an engineering transformation process that yields many complex analysis results and is supported by an abundance of information output. As such, in the course of preparing the written material, it is important that the engineer participates fully, previewscarefully, practises presentation and anticipates potential questions from the receiver. These are good ways for an engineer to retain information which is expected to be delivered in a confident manner to the receiver.

OTHER FACTORS IN EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION

1. Active listening

This is about paying attention and listening positively to the speaker with the aim of understanding the content and absorbing the right information that will allow the engineer to act effectively. By making a conscious effort to digest what others have to offer, the engineer can gain useful information and identify opportunities for improvement. Listening also demonstrates to the speaker that his or her views and feelings are appreciated; this is a vital component for building relationships based upon mutual respect.

Listening skills can be learnt and trained. Here are some key points for active listening:

a) Project a positive and active facial appearance.

b) Focus attention on the speaker when he or she speaks. Listen carefully and try to pick the content. Defer judgment by reflecting on the true meaning of what is being said.

c) Take notes to help you retain the right and important information

d) Analyse the speaker’s attitude and frame of mind. Is the person an optimist or pessimist? Generally, is the speaker reliable or unpredictable?

e) If possible, assemble meaningful responses that assimilate the various points made.

f) Consider the speaker’s non-verbal language (or body language) when he or she is speaking.

These simple steps of listening allow the engineer to communicate effectively with insight and value. Active listening demonstrates professionalism. It can enhance an engineer’s reputation and improves the quality of decision making.

2. Non-verbal Communication

Studies have shown that verbal, vocals and facial expression have a profound influence on the effectiveness of oral communication. The percentage of effectiveness is as follows:

• 7% Verbal (words)

• 38% Vocal (pitch, stress, tone, length and frequency of pauses)

• 55% Facial (expression, eye contact)

It is obvious that to become effective in oral communication, the engineer must, just like a professional actor, learn to control vocals and facial expression in order to create impact and to connect with the audience. Body language,

such as posture, gesture and body movement, is equally important to influence and gain the attention of listeners. Attending special courses, reading selfimprovement books, observing good speakers and making a committed effort to practise are some useful ways to improve non-verbal communication.

The results of the engineering transformation process are often documented in a formal, written technical report. The usefulness of this report is determined by whether it is read and understood. Some key points that need consideration in

3. Oral presentation

An oral presentation is a verbal explanation ofthe results of the engineering transformation process to receivers such as the client, a superior or fellow workers.

The results to be shared are normally engineering analysis, findings and recommendations for a certain problem assigned to the engineer. An oral presentation provides opportunities for the engineer to closely interact with and to influence the receiver (audience) with regard to his work and abilities. To enhance the effectiveness of an oral presentation, the above-mentioned tools, such as a written report and visual aids, may be applied.

It is strongly recommended to allow a question and answer (Q&A) session at the end of the presentation. This serves two important purposes. Firstly, it’s an opportunity for the audience to get a better understanding of the presentation and secondly, it’s an opportunity for the engineer to get feedback for possible improvements.

The essence of effective oral presentations is none other than preparation and practice.

Preparation includes:

• Defining the oral presentation goals to be accomplished

• Identifying the audience. If the audience consists of technocrats, the oral presentation should be focused on technical explanations. But if the audience is from the business community, then a financially-based explanation will be appropriate.

• Outliningimportantpointstobeexplainedtoavoiddistractionsandneedless hours spent on discussion.

• Updating details and preparing effective supporting materials such as visual aids, flip charts, drawings, models etc.

Practice includes:

• Reviewing and identifying weaknesses that must be tackled before the actual presentation.

• Rehearsingtogettherightvocalconditionlikepitch,tone,stressandpause. This also helps to ensure a smooth presentation flow.

• Getting the right timing to ensure the presentation is within the allotted time frame.

CONCLUSION

Effective communication is a major factor that guarantees a successful career for an engineer. Beside a promising career, it also helps to add value by projecting the capability and professionalism of an engineer.

Therefore, an engineer should master all aspects of communication skills – verbal, non-verbal and written. It is not impossible or too difficult for an engineer to learn. All that is required is a change in attitude and mindset to learn the skills and apply them.

Lead and Motivate Your Workforce

HIGHWAY AND TRANSPORTATION ENGINEERING TECHNICAL DIVISION

TheHighwayandTransportationEngineering Technical Division (HTETD) organised a course titled “Lead And Motivate Your Workforce For Engineers” which attracted more than 30 participants from various working backgrounds. Some were entry level engineers while others were business owners, thereby providing a fertile mix of B, X and Y generations as well as employee and employer viewpoints.

The 1-day course, filled with activities, introduced participants to the application of leadership principles that would improve workers’ effectiveness. Participants had the opportunity to understand what it take to become a leader that others look up to. Also discussed was acceptable behaviour that was congruent with that of a capable leader.

One of the most important leadership characteristics is the ability to motivate others. Good leaders create situation at work that make their followers eager, enthusiastic and energised. The essence of good leadership is to improve performance in business operations.

The following is the main course content:

1. Leadership behaviour and role

The topic introduces the behaviour and role of good leaders. Good leaders are agents of change for the better. In order to do this effectively, leaders must generate trust and solicit cooperation from team members. This topic also introduces different

styles of leadership applicable for different situations.

2. Communication

A person’s leadership style is often defined by the manner in which he or she communicates. This has a huge impact on how people are motivated, not only by the leaders’ words but more so by their actions.

3. Motivation through leadership

To generate positive energy, leaders must show enthusiasm, interest and provide lots of encouragement during challenging times.

The training session included discussion on good leadership behaviour that could be effectively implemented at the workplace.

COURSE FEEDBACK

Participants found the course useful and interesting. They also discovered simple techniques could be easily practised at the workplace.

The good mix of participants was an education in itself. It was a microcosm of the realworld,reflectingthreedistinctgenerations co-existing in the business world.

LOOKING FORWARD

IEM can contribute to the overall quality of the professional competency of its members, bothyoungandold,bycontinuingtopromote soft skill courses such as this.

The author acknowledges the contribution of the speaker, Mr. Wesley Khaw, for conducting the course successfully.

Talk on New Tunnel Excavation Method Using Abrasive Waterjet

Division (TUSTD)

Prof. Cho Gye-Chun of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Korea

Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) delivered a talk on abrasive waterjet on 17 June, 2015. The talk was organised by IEM’s Tunnelling and UndergroundSpaceTechnicalDivision(TUSTD) and was attended by 41 IEM members.

CONVENTIONAL ROCK EXCAVATION METHODS

As an introduction, Prof. Cho gave an overall assessmentoftheconventionalrockexcavation methods, namely power breaker, tunnel boring machine, hydraulic wedge expansion and drill & blast. In particular, the conventional drill & blast method is the most commonly used in tunnelling. However, this has many weaknesses, such as serious levels of vibration, excavation damaged zone, over-breakage and underbreakage. With this method, there are also a lot of civil complaints and increased construction cost. So a new tunnel excavation method was developed, using abrasive waterjet.

ABRASIVE WATERJET TECHNOLOGY

The new method combines conventional drilling and blasting process or mechanical excavation process with free surfaces on the perimeter or at the face of a tunnel, which

are formed by the cutting of the abrasive waterjet.

Since the development of waterjet technology in 1908s, the present researchers focused on the study of rock material using abrasives, improving performance and emergence of high-performance pump.

Prof. Cho gave an insight into KAIST’s experience on optimising the water jet parameters through experimental tests.

reported by Ir. Khoo Chee Min

Ir. Khoo Chee Min is currently a Committee Member of IEM Tunnelling and Underground Space Technical

and works as Senior Manager at Mass Rapid Transit Corporation Sdn. Bhd.

Interestingly, the water pressure applied is up to 314 MPa and at various traverse speed. A critical pressure of approximately 70 MPa is required to initiate the cutting and there is an optimum feed rate of abrasive (10.33 g/s) because of particle collision.

DATA FROM FIELD APPLICATIONS

Prof. Cho shared the outcomes of using this new method from macro-scale model and in-situ field experiments. The results of field applications show that the developed method has distinct advantages of very low vibration, no over or under-breakages and no excavation damaged zone. It is expected that the new method can improve safety and stability, reduce public complaints, decrease support system quantity and decrease construction period & cost. Consequently, the new method can be effectively applied to urban rock excavation sites where high levels of silence and stability are expected.

Comparative Study of Pile Design Between Conventional Working Stress Method and EC7 Limit State Design Method

reported by Ir. Yee Thien Seng

Ir. Yee Thien Seng is the Chairman of Geotechnical Engineering Technical Division. He is the principal of Geo. Consult, a practice offering expert and specialist consultancy to the construction industry and in particular, on geotechnical engineering aspects. He has authored and co-authored more than a dozen technical papers in local and international conferences. Ir. Yee is an expert witness and accredited checker for design of geotechnical engineering works registered with the Board of Engineer Malaysia.

An evening talk on “Comparative Study Of Pile Design Between Conventional Working Stress Method And EC7 Limit State Design Method”, held on 23 June 2015 at the Tan Sri Professor Chin Fung Kee Auditoriumm, had an attendance of 42 IEM members.

Giving the talk was Ir. Balakrishnan Etty Gaunder who briefly described the philosophy behind the new design approach that was required under MS EN 1997.

It is similar to the ultimate limit state design method that has been used for a long time by reinforced concrete design engineers. In the limit state design approach, the designer factors in the loads to be applied on the supporting element after its characteristic material strength or resistance, is factored in.

CONVENTIONAL DESIGN PRACTICE

The conventional design practice of determining the working load of a pile by either summing up its estimated component shaft and base resistances after dividing by the respective Factors Of Safety or alternately dividing its gross estimated resistance by a common Factor Of Safety to arrive the required design length was revisited by Ir. Balakrishnan.

MS EN 1997 WITH THE MALAYSIA NATIONAL ANNEX (MY-NA)

He then discussed the computation procedures to obtain design pile lengths using MS EN 1997 with the Malaysia National Annex (MY-NA) where the key activity was the determination of the pile’s characteristic resistances from the ground at various pile penetration lengths. A pile’s design resistance is obtained by factoring in its characteristic resistance with the partial resistance factor appropriate to the pile type considered. The

principle applies to both the Model Pile and Alternative methods of design.

Finally, Ir. Balakrishnan presented a comparative study of required pile lengths as well as the Factors Of Safety that would arise from the use of both the traditional practice and MS EN 1997 methods at a building project site in Kenny Hill formation.

The study encompassed bored piles and prestressed spun concrete pipe piles. His study showed that the design using MS EN 1997, with MY-NA adopting both the Model Pile and Alternative methods employing ground parameters from pile load tests results for the site, was comparable to that from the conventional design practice. Otherwise, MS EN 1997 produced slightly more conservative design pile lengths.

GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING TECHNICAL DIVISION

Structural Engineering: Beyond Ordinary

The talk on “Structural Engineering: Beyond Ordinary” was jointly organised by IEM’s Civil & Structural Engineering Technical Division (CSETD) and the Institution of Structural Engineers, Malaysia Regional Group. It was held on 27 May, 2015. The speaker, Prof. Tim Ibell, is President of the Institution of Structural Engineers. Prof Ibell is the Associate Dean of the Faculty of Engineering and Design, University of Bath. This talk was chaired by Ir. Hooi Wing Chuen, Chairman of CSETD and was attended by 54 participants.

FABRIC FORMWORK FOR CONCRETE

STRUCTURES

The talk focused on the research work of Prof. Ibell in the area of fabric formwork for concrete structures. Prof. Ibell has been actively involved in concrete and structural engineering research for more than two decades and he worked closely with his research collaborator from the University of Manitoba to develop the fabric formwork.

The research on fabric formworks for reinforced concrete construction and architecture is an emerging technology with the capacity to transform concrete

architecture and reinforced concrete structures. The inherited natural tension geometries given by flexible fabric membranes provide extraordinarily light and inexpensive formworks which are useful to the construction industry.

In some instances, the use of fabric formworks utilises far less material than conventional formworks (Figure 1). Some offer zero-waste formwork systems. The use of a permeable formwork fabric produces improved surface finishes and higher strength concrete as a result of a filtering action that allows air bubbles and excess mix water to bleed through the formwork membrane.

(Source: http://www.umanitoba.ca/cast_building/research/fabric_formwork/beams.html)

At the end of the talk, the audience raised questions which Prof. Ibell answered and clarified further. The talk ended with the presentation of a memento to Prof. Ibell by the President of IEM, Dato’ Ir. Lim Chow Hock.

IEM Benevolent Fund

By Ir. Dr Ahmad Kamil Arshad Chairman of Sub-Committee on IEM Benevolent Fund

The IEM Benevolent Fund, under the purview of the Standing Committee on Welfare and Service Matters, was launched in April 1991 by the President of IEM. Its objective is to provide relief to persons incapacitated by or were suffering from hardship, sickness, loss of income due to accident or other infirmity (whether bodily or mental) and who were unable to pay for their own care. The persons qualified to receive such relief include:

1. Persons who are, for the time being, or have been, at any given time, corporate members or non-corporate members of The Institution of Engineers, Malaysia

2. Widows, widowers, children or other relatives and dependents of such past and present members and

3. Any other person who the Trustees may, in their discretion, deem fit.

A recent recipient of this fund was the family of the late Ir. Lim Chean Fung, the past Chairman of the Building Services Technical Division Committee (2011 – 2013). Before that, Ir. Lim had served the Building Services Technical Division Committee in various capacities since the year 2001. He passed away on 15 August, 2013, after he was diagnosed with stage four cancer (Metastatic Neuroendocrine Tumour). He left behind his wife, Lillian Tai Yee Chi, a son and a daughter.

The IEM Executive Committee approved financial assistance for Ir. Lim’s family at RM1,800.00 per month for 18 months. This totalled RM27,000.00. On 22 July 2014, the IEM President presented a cheque for RM23,000.00 to the family. Also present at the event were the Chairman and some members of the Standing Committee on Welfare and Service Matters. The balance of RM4,000.00 would be paid out on a monthly basis.

A letter of appreciation (see next page) was recently received from Ms. Lillian Tai Yee Chi, thanking IEM for the provision of financial assistance through the IEM Benevolent Fund.

BIM: BETTER OUTCOMES THROUGH APPROPRIATE STANDARDS

BRIANMIDDLETON,SENIORINDUSTRYSALESDIRECTOR,BENTLEYSYSTEMS

As governments across Asia and in Australia have indicated that they intend to spend heavily on infrastructure projects in coming years, the industry as a whole can look to the UK’s experiences in mandating building infrastructure management (BIM) to deliver projects on time, on (Original) budget and to a set of standards that facilitate more effective maintenance and operations beyond design and construction.

Changes are obviously required with research1 showing that civil construction projectshaveonaveragecostoverrunsof:

Rail=44.7%

Bridge&Tunnels=33.8%

Roads=20.4%

With the construction industry in Asia discussing BIM as an opportunity to increase efficiency, many are calling for the mandating of BIM to drive change. The mandating of BIM has helped the UK government save taxpayers AU$1.8 billion in construction costs in 20132014. Locally, infrastructure bodies and government could extend the UK model beyondmandatingstandardsandintoa broader outcomes-focused approach. Whilst standards are essential to test deliverablestheyhavetobeappropriate tothespecificindustryorprojecttheyare beingappliedto.

The risk of mandating a prescriptive set of policies and processes for use in BIM is that requirements and technology change rapidly.

Aside from stymying innovation, the second issue with mandating standards across the industry is around managing compliance. Policing compliance to a specific standard ends up costly for government agencies or infrastructure bodiesandaddsalevelofmanagement and monitoring overhead that must

in turn be funded by the infrastructure owners.Inthecaseofpublicinfrastructure projects,thecostisgenerallydrawnfrom consolidated tax revenue. This strain on the public purse can be significant, and possiblyunnecessary.

Mandating the use of BIM as evidenced in the UK does create significantmarketmovementbutBentley Systems believes that if government and infrastructure owners push even further towardsmandatingBIMoutcomesthata greater value will be realised across the wholeoftheassetlifecycle.

TAKING A TOTEX VIEW

Infrastructure owners should be encouraged to shift from taking an Opex (operating cost) and Capex (capital expenditure) model towards a more holistic Totex (total expenditure) approach. The bulk of expenditure for most civil infrastructure assets doesn’t come during the design and build phase, but rather during its total lifespan as operations and maintenance costs mount over time. In fact, as much as 95 per cent of an asset’s Totex costs over its lifetimearecomprisedofOpex.

With this in mind, it’s critical that infrastructure owners ensure as much information as possible remains usable throughout the lifecycle of a project; fromdesign,throughtoconstructionand intooperations.

INFORMATION LIFECYCLE MANAGEMENT

Infrastructure owners who follow the lead of organisations like Crossrail, HS2 and Highways England in the UK, shift their thinking, plan ahead and start with the end in mind will reap the rewards. This is really where the true value of BIM is realised. It’s critical for infrastructure owners (Employers) to scope out detailed Employers’ Information Requirements (EIRs) at the commencement of a project to ensure that models and other information developedmaintaintheirvalue.

Today the development of infrastructure projects frequently relies on multiple contractors, all using their own preferred tools, standards and formats to meet their deliverables. Unfortunately the choices made by Architects and contractors, whilst beneficial to them, often end up costing the owner during

the asset lifecycle when there is a conflict in information compatibility, interoperability or accuracy. So an owner can and should reduce cost and risk by standardising where possible on acceptablefileformatsandagreeingon howdataistobestored,maintainedand shared between stakeholders during the different asset phases. This should form partoftheEIRacrossdesign,construction, operations and maintenance and is essential to ensure that the return on investment is maximised throughout the assetlifecycle.

Shiftingthefocusfromtheimmediate capital expenditure for projects to more of a Totex view will help drive necessary change in the way that public funds are spent.

The UK Government is currently achieving 20% savings2 on the Capex phaseoftheircapitalprojectsandisnow aimingfora33%reductioninTotex.

In Asia, matching the 20% in Capex savingsthatarealreadybeingrealisedin theUK,meansthatdollarsearmarkedfor infrastructure projects can be stretched further to deliver more for taxpayer dollars. For every four kilometres of built road or rail track laid, a fifth is free. Or for everyfourhospitalsthatareconstructed, afifthcanbeprovidedwithinthecurrent budget. And that’s a platform every politician making promises around infrastructure spending would love to be standingon.

Thank you.

Carcassonne, a medieval town in the southern province of Languedoc of France,hastwomajortouristattractions: Cité, a double-walled and turreted fortress on a hill overlooking River Aude and the lower town, and Canal du Midi, a UNESCO world heritage channel that forms part of a system of waterways linking the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean through the southern part of France.

My wife and I arrived in Carcassonne in midMay 2015. Much to my regret later, we only spent half a day there visiting its fortified city of Cité. We had intended to visit the canal as well, but the weather that day was quite bad and it was raining soon after we left Cité. The inclement weather dampened our enthusiasm and we decided to leave for our next pit stop, Nimes.

On the way, we stumbled upon the small town of Beziers and were very pleased to find that the canal ran through this town as well. We parked our car and walked along the canal to where it met River Orb. Then we learnt from a sign that there were some locks in the canal in the opposite direction.

Driving along the canal, we came across a large crowd of people. The road too was lined with cars. Was there a carnival? We joined the crowd and found to our pleasant surprise that we had accidentally stumbled upon the Fonseranes Lock, one of the most popular locks of the canal. All the people had actually gathered to watch the operation of the lock. We had come at precisely the right moment!

This reminded me of my experience watching large cargo ships going through the locks in the Panama Canal two years ago.

Canal du Midi, or Canal of the South, is a major civil engineering project of the 17th century.Thissummitlevelcanalruns240kmfrom RiverGaronneatToulousallthewaytotheThau Lagoon on the Mediterranean coast near Séte. It was the brainchild of Pierre-Paul Riquet who convinced Colbert, the high official in charge of finance in the court of King Louis XIV, of the merits of the project. Before the advent of the railroad and motor vehicles, marine and river vessels were the cheapest means of transport for bulk cargo.

Construction of the canal began in 1667. Tens of thousands of workers toiled to realise Riquet’s dream. The most difficult problem Riquet faced was how to feed the canal with water when its highest point at Naurouze Pass was 190m above sea level and 58m above River Garonne. Riquet overcame the problem by constructing some reservoirs in the Black Mountains and channelling the water from these to the canal.

The canal was finally opened in 1681 after 14 long years of hard work and the exhaustion of Riquet’s entire fortune; the man himself died 6 months before the final realisation of his dream.

Three small boats got into the first lock from a diversion of the canal and sailed through a series of 6 ovoid locks to reach a higher section.

Since losing its role as an important trade route to the Séte-Bordeaux railway in 1857, the canal has remained a marvel of engineering achievementwithits99poundlocks(aninvention of Song Dynasty engineer Qiao Weiyue 乔维岳 of China) and 130 bridges. It is also well-known forthebeautifullandscapealongstretchesofits route.
