Research Project Contributions

• Research and Proposal on Solution to an Engineering Problem
• Researched on the integration of Internet of Things (IoT) sensors to Prefabricated Prefinished Volumetric Construction (PPVC) modules to solve challenges on the transportation of PPVC modules. Subsequently, I pitched the solution to my team members.
•      Problem Identification
• After the team had finalized on a research topic, tasks were delegated to each team member. I devised an ideal technology/system that could solve our problem of inefficient waste management.
