Project title

Enhancement of Surveying Performance via Deep Learning Approaches of Surveying Students (Jul 2007 – Jun 2008)
supported by Quantity Surveying Division, Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors


Abstract:

Despite the growing demands for constant curricula review and revisions, students are perceived as less prepared for university study. In order to enhance the performance of quantity surveyors, and especially of QS graduates, a study evaluating the learning approaches of quantity surveying students can provides us with valuable information on how to enhance the teaching and learning quality of QS education and, subsequently, to improve the performance of quantity surveyors in the industry. This project aims to evaluate the learning approaches of surveying students in Hong Kong in order to recommend the most appropriate teaching approaches in surveying education. Through this project, professional quantity surveyors should gain the benefits of: a better understanding of the learning attitudes of current QS students in universities; and the possibility for equipping potential quantity surveyors in the industry with sufficient knowledge and positive work attitudes.
