PROBLEM STATEMENT
In recent years, there has been increasing concern on the quantity surveying graduates joining the profession.
There are more complaints from employers on the standard and competencies of surveying graduates.
Fingers have been pointed out to the universities for not providing the appropriate curriculum and course content.
![Page 7: MALAYSIAN QUANTITY SURVEYING EDUCATION FRAMEWORK Prepared by: Norhanim Zakaria University of Malaya Faculty of the Built Environment Department of Quantity](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062303/551614cf550346cf6f8b641b/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
The problems does not only focused on graduates level of knowledge related to the profession.
They have also been complaints on graduates level of soft skills and attitute.
PROBLEM STATEMENT (contd)
![Page 8: MALAYSIAN QUANTITY SURVEYING EDUCATION FRAMEWORK Prepared by: Norhanim Zakaria University of Malaya Faculty of the Built Environment Department of Quantity](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062303/551614cf550346cf6f8b641b/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
As Quantity Surveying expands and includes an ever-widening scope of services, how will university courses can be structured so that more and more areas of study can be addressed?
PROBLEM STATEMENT (contd)
![Page 9: MALAYSIAN QUANTITY SURVEYING EDUCATION FRAMEWORK Prepared by: Norhanim Zakaria University of Malaya Faculty of the Built Environment Department of Quantity](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062303/551614cf550346cf6f8b641b/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Courses can not simply be made longer, instead priorities have to be assigned and the coverage of some material will be reduced or perhaps eliminated entirely, so that new material can be accomodated.
PROBLEM STATEMENT (contd)
![Page 10: MALAYSIAN QUANTITY SURVEYING EDUCATION FRAMEWORK Prepared by: Norhanim Zakaria University of Malaya Faculty of the Built Environment Department of Quantity](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062303/551614cf550346cf6f8b641b/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Other than that, how will the higher institutions produce graduates that are equally competent in both heir theoritically knowledge and at the same time have all the qualities and good characteristic.
PROBLEM STATEMENT (contd)
![Page 11: MALAYSIAN QUANTITY SURVEYING EDUCATION FRAMEWORK Prepared by: Norhanim Zakaria University of Malaya Faculty of the Built Environment Department of Quantity](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062303/551614cf550346cf6f8b641b/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Some mechanisms has to be devised and implemented so that firms requiring graduates with strong skills can be achieved.
