Abstract

This study was intended to assess condition and damages of a stilt wooden house located in in Keningau, Sabah, in order to develop a proper home repair and restoration plan that can be scaled up to other houses of similar design in areas that are susceptible to flood and other environmental factors which can affect the structural integrity. The findings revealed that the chosen stilt wooden house has decayed severely that many parts of the house mainly the roof, the floors, the railing and stairs were in decrepit condition which could pose danger to the occupants. The results also implied that there were various factors that led to the condition of the house namely termite infestation and moist and weakened wood which could be due to the damaged zinc roof that caused rainwater to leak into the house, direct contact with floodwater and possibly leaky plumbing. A repair and restoration work was done by focusing on the parts of the house that needed immediate fix in order to ensure comfort and safety of the household. This study may shed more light on how to repair and restore as well as redesign wooden homes in order to be more resilient towards damaged caused by environmental variables.

Abstract

The purpose of this research project was to learn about the experience that final year students of Keningau Vocational College Statistical had in a physical workshop on statistical methods as well as their need to learn more about statistics and the software used to process them in helping them with their quantitative data analysis in their final year project development. Past final year projects only presented raw data which the students used to draw conclusions from without using any detailed statistical methods to identify trends and patterns. Therefore, their findings remained superficial, generic and less meaningful which made it harder for their findings to be deemed as valid, reliable and convincing. Hence, a statistical test and procedure workshop which featured live demonstration of a predetermined set of data was con-ducted on all final year students at the college. The software used was Statistical Product and Service Solutions (SPSS). The live demonstration was followed by the students’ attempt in emulate the procedure shown to them in order to help them understand it better. They were required to purchase and install the software prior to the workshop. The findings revealed that the students felt that their understanding of the topic im-proved significant after the workshop and they deemed the software to be useful in their data analysis but found it challenging to use. The stu-dents’ responses also implied that the students felt the hands-on and interactive instruction with guided practice could help them become more adept at using the software and gain better understanding of the topic. The findings signified the need to explore several instruction and learning methods as well as materials that may significantly improve the delivery approach. The findings also revealed a compelling need to fully integrate statistical tests and procedures into the vocational col-lege curriculum.

Abstract

Pipe welding requires precision, stability, and safety to ensure results of acceptable quality. This study introduces a pipe welding jig designed to help welders maintain accurate 6G and 5G positions while reducing defects like misalignment and pipe distortion. The jig was designed to improve welding efficiency, safety, and precision, which makes the process easier and more consistent. A panel evaluation was conducted by five experts to assess four key aspects: design, ease of use, durability, and safety with an evaluation form with Likert-scale rating. The results were analyzed with Cronbach’s Alpha which revealed a score of 0.720 that showed the items were reliable. Experts rated the jig highly particularly on its stability, usability, and effectiveness in improving welding accuracy. This tool can benefit vocational training and industrial applications by minimizing errors and increasing productivity while helping to ensure welders’ wellbeing. Future improvements may include adjustable designs for various pipe sizes and automated features for enhanced efficiency.

Abstract

This project was intended to educate, enable and empower Keningau youth from both technical and vocational education and training (TVET) and mainstream backgrounds to contribute to the community through a building repair and upgrade project. Repair and maintenance in any manmade structure are always necessary but there are many variables which include regularly scheduled maintenance, lack of skilled manpower and limited funding can hinder such routine. Hence, this community project known as Steel Steady mobilized youth volunteers who were essentially students from Keningau Vocational College as well as other schools in Keningau, Sabah, to learn the basics of welding and take part in a building repair and upgrade at a chosen location. The volunteers were required to answer community-based learning (CBL) and civic engagement instruments upon completing the project to determine their overall perception on their experience as volunteers in the community project and to determine the level of influence that each dimension had on their civic engagement. The results from descriptive statistics and multiple regression analysis on their responses suggest that the respondents had positive experience from the project based on the four dimensions of CBL; teamwork, participation, reflection and leadership. These four dimensions strongly influenced their sense of civic engagement.  This implies that CBL is a highly plausible approach in cultivating a sense of awareness, empathy and responsibility of youths towards their community’s needs.
