The purpose of the study is to investigate correlation between environmental awareness and environmental knowledge using "AKASA" model which is the awareness, knowledge, attitude, skills and action for 2 nd year and 3 rd year of architecture undergraduate students from selected private university. The study intends to investigate the relationship of environmental literacy components specifically environmental awareness and environmental knowledge variables. The sample study comprises of 234 students from 5 selected private universities with questionnaires were used as instrument of survey. The parametric study was conducted with descriptive analysis and the results shows that the relationship between environmental awareness and environmental knowledge is positive and strongly related among year 2, year 3 and year 2 and year 3 combine.

Building information modeling (BIM) is one of the most popular technologies contributing to information handling. However, the technology's contribution to fieldwork is very limited due to the limited interaction between the real and virtual world. Integrating BIM with augmented reality (AR) is believed to highly increase BIM's applicability to fieldwork. Therefore, the aim of the study is to examine the credibility of BIM integration into AR (AR-BIM) in the construction industry. A case study is adopted, computing the AR-BIM system through Structure Sensor, Unity 3D, and C#. The results show that BIM is compatible for integration with the AR platform. Although the preliminary AR-BIM system is not perfect compared to the marketed product, the initial investment cost of this system is much cheaper, while conserving the benefits of BIM in AR. This study is important to raise awareness among construction stakeholders about the adoption of technology. The stakeholders left out of the industrial revolution (IR 4.0) will lose their competitiveness in both local and international markets.

Abstract. The study intend to investigate sustainability knowledge using "AKASA" model. This model comprises all the literacy level which is the awareness, knowledge, attitude, skills and action. 234 students from 5 selected private universities were surveyed using questionnaires. Students were specifically selected from year 2 and year 3 from private universities in Klang valley, Malaysia. The study intends to investigate the environmental literacy level specifically the knowledge variable. The parametric study was conducted with descriptive analysis and the results shows that the environmental knowledge is at high level compared to other environmental literacy variables among year 2, year 3 and combine year 2 and year 3.

The research paper is to investigate the implementation of green building materials by construction industry stakeholders in Johor Bahru. Several features and the main types of green building material used in construction industry in Johor Bahru is determined. Barriers and solutions is identified in adopting the green building materials and questionaire is used to gauge response from targetted respondends. The design structure of the questionnaire is to achieve the three objectives of the research. The first objective of the study intends to investigate the importance level for features of green building and the types of green building materials. The second objective of the research is to investigate importance level of the core barriers for the usage of green building materials and the third objective is to investigate importance level of the solutions for the barriers in adopting green building materials. The data collected is analysed using SPSS software, descrptive statistics eg. mean score and standard deviation interpretations. In conclusion, the GBM features preferred are energy efficiency, low carbon emission and raw material and waste is recyclable. Preferred GBM types are “sustainable brick”, “lightweight reinforced concrete” and “wood flooring” are the top three ranked GBM in Johor Bahru. The research also found that, “Higher cost”, “Lack of awareness” and “Lack of rules and regulations” are the top three ranked core barriers. Finally, the research concluded that, “Reduce green building material cost”, “Education” and “Training campaign” are the top three ranked solutions importance level in adopting GBM in Johor Bahru.

The study investigates and compares the experience and expectation of employers and graduates on architecture graduate work readiness in relation to employability skills using a quantitative method. A total of 141 graduates and 85 employers completed a set of survey measuring the same variables but from different perspectives. The collected data was analyzed using SPSS v 25. Study findings show that perception of employers and graduates are similar on the architectural course and how it trains the graduates for practice. However there is a small gap in the perception graduates work readiness; architectural course curriculum, and graduates’ practical skills. The results revealed that the graduates confidence level in their work readiness is moderate (M = 3.42., SD = 0.843), concurring with the employers who reported that graduate are not entirely ready (M = 3.62., SD = 0.648). However, the employers’ score employability skills is lower than the graduates’ score, especially in areas such as knowledge of Uniform Building By-Law (UBBL) requirements and sustainable approaches (RK) (M=3.29, SD=0.881) and CTS (M = 3.41, SD=0.837). Thus, the study suggests opportunities in current learning in architectural course to be transformed using “work based learning” to enhance the graduates employability skills.
