Conceive-Design-Implement-Operate (CDIO) Approach in Producing Wiring Projects for Domestic Electrical Wiring Course

This descriptive study aims to evaluate the Conceive-Design-Implement-Operate (CDIO) approach in producing wiring projects for the Domestic Electrical Wiring course among students from the Technical with Education courses at Universiti Teknologi Malaysia. This study is based on four main objectives, which are to evaluate the elements of “conceive, design, implement and operate” among students completing wiring projects in the Domestic Electrical Wiring course. The methodology used in this study is a quantitative. A set of questionnaires was used as a research instrument for data collection by distributing a Google form to respondents based on the research questions that have been constructed. The questionnaire used in this study was divided into five parts, namely Part A about demographics, Part B about the “conceive” element in electrical wiring, Part C about the “design” element in electrical wiring, Part D about the “implement” element in electrical wiring and Part E about the “operate” element in electrical wiring. The selection of respondents is random. The respondents of this study consisted of 110 students in the fourth and third year of electric and electronics, and life skills education programme. The results of the study were analysed using the Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) software version 26.0. Overall, the results of the study showed that students can design their work process according to the actual CDIO standards. In conclusion, this study is very important for students to complete their project properly on time, especially for students at the Institute of Technical and Vocational Education, Engineering and other related fields, as well as for teaching staff at the institutes related to the production of a project that is implemented.
