Structural Concrete and Steel Design(ECSXXX) and Civil Engineering Design Project(ECSYYY) are two (2) compulsory subjects in most studies of Diploma of Civil Engineering in Malaysia. These subjects have been associated with each other as the structural concrete and steel design has carried the theory and fundamentals to the design project subject. ECSXXX which indicates the study on the reinforced concrete of beam, slabs, column, and foundation. Complementary to these, the design of steel beam, column and connections are also included in the syllabus. All the topics will imply in the subject of ECSYYY, whereby students are required to design manually and software for a two-story house. The previous study plan for Diploma Civil Engineering in UiTM Johor was designed that the subject of ECSXXX was under semester 5 and the subject ECSYYY was at semester 6. However, to fulfill the requirement of the Engineering Technology Accreditation Council (ETAC), current study plan was established which combined the two subjects in semester 5. As a result, a single semester 6 will be allocated for the Industrial Training. Due to this system, student attainment based on grade and PO should be analysed. Data recorded all students pass the minimum indicator for PO2,P03,PO4,PO5,PO8 and PO10 using i-Ras. Hence, correlation of overlapping PO such as PO3 and PO4 were analysed for betterment of continual quality improvement can be done in future. Students scored better grades for ECSYYY compared to ECSXXX.
