 FORMING GROUP
Lecturer told us there is a project for Highway Engineering subject and she asked us to
form in a group. To proceed with the project we have to create group consist of 4 people.

PROBLEM AND SCOPE OF PROJECT

After the briefing for forming group, the lecturer gave us the problem and the scope of
project. She has briefly explained the problem statement for the project. The problem was
about the roads that have been built are often damaged due to vehicle load and
environment. This situation requires the maintenance work to be done so that it can
provide comfortable riding to road users. Each of the group has to conduct a survey of
pavement conditions to determine damages and recommend appropriate pavement
preservation work to local authorities. The factors of the damage to the roads also need to
be reviewed.
.
BRIEFING BEFORE SURVEYING OUR SAMPLE UNIT
Our lecturer gave us a brainstorming session on how to solve the related problem. In this
session, lecturer had given us some opinions such as the procedures and requirements for
the project also the equipment that are needed for this project.

DISCUSSION / INVESTIGATING PROBLEM

After the lecturer briefed us about the problem of the project and the group discussion on
10 December 2017, we had suggested a few sites for our project around Parit Raja area
Jalan Parit Kaspan. To determine the site for our project, we have to conduct a survey on
the site so that the site that we choose is fulfilled the requirements of this project such as
cracks lab sheet of the sample unit to be inspected and length of the road must exceed 1
KM. Each of the group member has to identify the problems and do research on the
problems in the internet, books and journal. After that, the identified problems will be
solved in FILA table by using brainstorming method. The method of FILA table is as
followings:
