A professional certified training was conducted on 18th and 19th February 2020 at Block 9, IUKL. The target participants were the 64 final year Bachelor in Civil Engineering (Hons) students along with a few staff from the Department of Civil Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, Science and Technology (FEST). The event was officiated by the Dean, Associate Professor Ir. Mohd Nasir Hussin.

Industrialized Building System (IBS) is known as the procedure or the method for mass production of quality building. There are many perks for practicing IBS including the development of the construction work site and the better condition of the components and better economics. These benefits meet the customer’s huge housing demands.

For the two full day course, there were five modules given by two certified speakers from CIDB, Ts Dr. Mohd Ashraf bin Mohd Fateh and Mr. Farid bin Ishak to make sure the participants understand the IBS concept. The modules are Introduction to IBS, IBS Project Management, IBS Calculator and Marking System, Modular Coordinate System, and Design Concept of Pre-Cast Concrete Systems. In line with the construction industry in Malaysia today, this training would be very beneficial for the students as they have the exposure and understand the IBS before they start their career.
