Assalamua'alaikum dan salam sejahtera,
Kita sambung lagi al-kisah interview PE aku.. Kalau yg belum baca Part A dan Part B, silalah baca di sane dulu.
Untuk kisah kali ni adalah soalan-soalan lebih mencabar aku kene jawab dalam interview tersebut. Berbanding soalan-soalan sebelum ini, kali ini ia melibatkan pengalaman aku sebagai highway engineer designer. Kalau aku tak berjaya jawab part ni, aku kemungkinan besar akan gagal interview ni.
Memang menjadi keje interviewer ni menguji pengetahuan design dan praktikal kite sebagai engineer. Dan tugas kite lak kene la buktikan yg kite cukup yakin dan matang untuk menjadi seorang PE.
Note: Ape aku citer dalam ni bukan semuanye tepat. Aku sendiri pun ingat-ingat lupa ape yang disoalkan dalam interview aku. Tapi aku cuba ingatkan soalan penting-penting sedapat yang boleh.
Interviewer: So now you are working as Highway Engineer Designer for a consultant company. What are your duties as Highway Engineer Designer?
Aku: I do project management, geometric highway design, pavement design and utilities relocation.
Interviewer: What kind of project have you design? Is it new road or upgrading road?
Aku: I have design for a new road project and also for an upgrading road project.
Interviewer: Base on your technical report, you submit to us your upgrading road. Do you design this road since you only to do the upgrading right?
Aku: Yes, upgrading the existing road geometric. Currently, the road suffer from congestion as well as poor geometric vertical and horizontal combination. I also responsible to design for the solution to ease up the congestion of the road.
Interviewer: What you mean by poor geometric vertical and horizontal combination?
Aku: (masa ni aku bukak buku garis panduan Arahan Teknik Jalan (ATJ) dan garispanduan geometric dari Road Engineering Association of Malaysia (REAM)). The combination of vertical and horizontal, as shown in this guideline is very important to avoid the appearance of kink for the traffics. Because the perception during the vehicle maneuver is very important to avoid accident. Currently, with this problem, the road suffer road accident more than other roads in vicinity.
Interviewer: So now there is no accident and congestion after the road constructed right?
Aku: actually, the road is not constructed yet and still in the detail design stage.
Interviewer: Ok, I see you join the company around 2014, and the project already start on 2012. Of course the road already design by other engineer right? So, this road is not your design, you just take other people design only.
Aku: (korang tengok soalan dia. Parah gak nak bagi jawapan kalau kite betul2 tak buat design ni). Before I came in, the road only in preliminary and pre-detail design only. Most of the geometric of the road still need improvement, like as I mention to you, the vertical and horizontal alignment combination, auxiliary lanes for junctions and interchange etc. All of this need to be redesign, review and comply with the guideline like ATJ and REAM. I also need to present my design to Client and RSA to ensure that all the requirements are complied before we went for tender stage.
Interviewer: I also see that you did design for pavement for the new road right? How do you do the soil improvement?
Aku: (lagi satu soalan killer dia. Memang kene pandai jawab dan betul2 buat pavement design baru boleh jawab soalan camni). I didn't do the soil improvement. Geotechnical engineer did that part. I only assist them for soil improvement design and do the pavement design.
Interviewer: Are you sure? I think to do the pavement design, you need to do the soil treatment first?
Aku: Yes, we need to do the soil treatment first. However, the design exercise can be done separately. As long as the soil improvement can give me the value of subgrade CBR more than 12.1%, it already enough for me to do my pavement design.
Lepas dari interview ni, kami ade sembang-sembang kecil untuk penutupan. Interviewer aku terangkan tentang essay aku kene jawab. Ape peraturannya dan di mana aku diberi tempat untuk menjawab.
