This study is specifically aimed at: (i) assessing the communication competencies of engineering students; (ii) identifying important communication skills needed for engineering students; and (iii) ensuring the types of effective teaching and learning activities to develop communication skills of engineering students. The implementation of the study refers to this quantitative-descriptive approach presenting a survey which includes the main activities, namely literature study, primary data collection and analyse, conclusions and recommendations formulation. Analysis is carried out based on information obtained from respondents. Furthermore, data processing is done by using descriptive methods that provide simple and understandable data presentation for the reader by describing or giving information about a data or situation or phenomenon. The survey findings indicate the adequacy of communication training from a curriculum that integrates communication in various core civil engineering courses. The results of the study also showed that team work and oral presentations were the most important factors for civil engineering students and for their future career development. They also place the greatest emphasis on teaching and learning activities that aim to prepare them to take part in the industrial world later.
The purpose of this research is to determine soil classification and identify the swelling potential of soil clay in the Jababeka I (sample 1) and the Lippo Cikarang (sample 2), Indonesia. The research was carried out by the experimental method. Soil classification based on the Unified Soil Classification Systems (USCS) determined by No.200 sieve analysis and A-chart (LL vs PI chart), while based on the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials Soil Classification System (AASTHO), classification determined by No.200 sieve analysis, liquid limit (LL) and plasticity index (PI). The results show the soils are clay of high plasticity (CH) in determining of the USCS, whereas in AASTHO, the soils are A7-6, which means clay of high plasticity. Furthermore, the swelling potential or expansion potential of clay is determined by indirect methods namely by the results of LL, PI, SL, and percentage of the passing of sieve No.200. Moreover, consolidation test is also carried out to obtain compression coefficient (Cv) and coefficient of consolidation (Cc) to determine the mineral content. The results of this experimental research that soils contain kaolinite minerals, a very high swelling potential with the possible change in volume of 10-30 %.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
