A two-day site visit to Jerantut provided civil engineering students with a unique and practical opportunity to observe slope rectification efforts firsthand. The visit, organized in collaboration with the Public Works Department (JKR), took participants along the road from Kampung Tuit to Kampung Mat Daling, where various slope repair and stabilization techniques were underway.
📅 Date: 22–23 May 2025
📍 Venue: Jerantut, Pahang
🏞️ Real-World Engineering Exposure
Students were able to observe ongoing slope rectification work and gain insights into the technical and procedural aspects of geotechnical engineering. The visit offered a clear overview of the repair methods used, challenges encountered, and the systematic approach taken by engineers in the field.
📘 Bridging Theory and Practice
Through guided tours and technical briefings by JKR engineers, students were exposed to engineering principles in action, including soil stabilization, erosion control, and safety management. The experience provided a valuable context to classroom learning, enhancing understanding of complex slope failure mechanisms and rectification strategies.
🎓 Enhanced Learning Outcomes
This interactive and immersive learning experience significantly contributed to student development by:
- Strengthening technical knowledge,
- Encouraging critical observation skills,
- Fostering awareness of environmental and safety considerations in slope engineering projects.
The Site Visit to Jerantut exemplifies how field-based education can enrich academic learning and better prepare students for the realities of civil engineering practice. It was a memorable and impactful experience that strengthened both technical competencies and professional awareness.
