ANOTHER DAY, ANOTHER VIVA SESSION 

Had the opportunity to serve as the Chairman for a Master of Philosophy viva voce session at the Faculty of Built Environment and Surveying, UTM.

The research by Madiha Farhani binti Mohamad focuses on the integration of technology in the documentation of heritage building measured drawings in Malaysia.

What makes this work particularly interesting is the use of LiDAR and photogrammetry technologies within the architectural and measured drawing field. These technologies are becoming increasingly important for capturing accurate spatial information, preserving heritage assets, and improving documentation efficiency compared to traditional manual approaches.

The integration of geospatial technologies with architectural conservation is something that will continue to grow in importance, especially for digital heritage preservation and future smart documentation workflows.

I would also like to acknowledge the panel involved in today’s examination session:

• External Examiner: Prof Ts Dr Nangkula Utaberta (UCSI University)
• Internal Examiner: Dr Aiman bin Mohd Rashid
• Main Supervisor: Ar IDr Ts Dr Noraslinda binti Abdul Rahman
• Assistant Chairman: Dr Mohd Amirul Hakim bin Zamri

Congratulations to the candidate and all involved in making the session successful. Wishing the candidate all the best for the next academic journey ahead.

Academic responsibility continues.
