This document summarizes a study that investigated the alignment of professional, academic, and industrial development needs for quantity surveyors in the post-recession environment. Key findings include:
1) RICS quantity surveying competencies are considered in program design but not systematically evaluated, leading to variation in how well programs map to competencies.
2) Academics expect graduates to achieve higher competency levels than are reasonably attainable in a university setting from mandatory, core, and optional competencies.
3) There is a lack of guidance on interpreting mandatory and optional competency requirements for degree programs, resulting in differing standards across programs.
The study gathered perspectives from industry and academic experts to develop a framework for

This study aims at pointing out Shaqra university staff’s degree of practicing the necessary academic requirements needed for improving their performance in the spheres of the university academic performance. The survey-descriptive approach and the measurement approach (questionnaire) are applied to achieve the purpose of this study. The number, on which the study is applied, is 358 members of the university staff. The questionnaire is divided into three sections related to the following domains: the first section is about Shaqra university staff’s practice degree in the sphere of education and learning; the second section is about Shaqra university staff’s practice degree in the sphere of scientific research; the third section is about Shaqra university staff’s practice degree in the sphere of community service.
Concerning Shaqra university staff’s practice degree in the sphere of education and learning, the results is more than 50 % of the university staff members. From their viewpoint, they consider the degree of practicing the necessary academic requirements for improving their performance in the sphere of education and learning is good. Besides, 37.5 % of the university staff regards their practice performance as medium and low. While, in regard of the university staff’s practice degree in the sphere of scientific research, less than 50 % of the university staff members consider the practice of the university staff’s is good, in the light of their standpoint regarding the essential academic requirements for improving the scientific research. Moreover, 53.4 % views their practice for the advancement of their performance is medium and low. In respect of the practice degree of the university staff in the sphere of community service, 50 % of the university staff regards it as good, in the light of their viewpoint of practicing the essential academic requirements for improving their performance in the domain of the community service. Besides, 50 % of the university staff considers their participation for the improvement is medium and low. The study’s result indicates that there is a firm direct correlation between the section of education and learning and the section of scientific research, in addition to that medium direct correlation between the section of scientific research and the section of community service. The research’s most obvious recommendations are: establishing special strategy and criterion for improving the performance, offering training courses in this respect, and concentrating on the interaction of the section of education and learning and the section of scientific research, with the section of community service.

Cosmetic shop management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
Buying new cosmetic products is difficult. It can even be scary for those who have sensitive skin and are prone to skin trouble. The information needed to alleviate this problem is on the back of each product, but it's thought to interpret those ingredient lists unless you have a background in chemistry.
Instead of buying and hoping for the best, we can use data science to help us predict which products may be good fits for us. It includes various function programs to do the above mentioned tasks.
Data file handling has been effectively used in the program.
The automated cosmetic shop management system should deal with the automation of general workflow and administration process of the shop. The main processes of the system focus on customer's request where the system is able to search the most appropriate products and deliver it to the customers. It should help the employees to quickly identify the list of cosmetic product that have reached the minimum quantity and also keep a track of expired date for each cosmetic product. It should help the employees to find the rack number in which the product is placed.It is also Faster and more efficient way.
CFD Simulation of By-pass Flow in a HRSG module by R&R Consult.pptxR&R Consult
CFD analysis is incredibly effective at solving mysteries and improving the performance of complex systems!
Here's a great example: At a large natural gas-fired power plant, where they use waste heat to generate steam and energy, they were puzzled that their boiler wasn't producing as much steam as expected.
R&R and Tetra Engineering Group Inc. were asked to solve the issue with reduced steam production.
An inspection had shown that a significant amount of hot flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes, where the heat was supposed to be transferred.
R&R Consult conducted a CFD analysis, which revealed that 6.3% of the flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes without transferring heat. The analysis also showed that the flue gas was instead being directed along the sides of the boiler and between the modules that were supposed to capture the heat. This was the cause of the reduced performance.
Based on our results, Tetra Engineering installed covering plates to reduce the bypass flow. This improved the boiler's performance and increased electricity production.
It is always satisfying when we can help solve complex challenges like this. Do your systems also need a check-up or optimization? Give us a call!
Work done in cooperation with James Malloy and David Moelling from Tetra Engineering.

6. Part 1 Executive Summary
1 Background
The entry of graduates and others into any faculty of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors
(RICS) as fully qualified Chartered surveyors comes only after they have successfully passed the
Assessment of Professional Competence (APC). This is true of the Quantity Surveyor, the specific
subject of this study, as much as for any other. Key to this last is the demonstration, by the
candidate, of their having attained certain competencies determined by the Education and
Membership Board of RICS. In the case of the graduate, these competencies will have been acquired
by the candidates as a result both of their formal university education and the workplace training
which they have received, whether as Part time students in employment or during a work Placement
undertaken. In either case, the applicant will have undertaken a period of full time employment
beyond graduating, further adding to the in-service training element of their overall skills profile.
It will be appreciated that there is a balance to be struck between the level and type of competence
which should be expected, and can be achieved, in the universities and that which arises out of
exposure to experience only available within the workplace. To some extent the two must be
complimentary, as they should be, and it has emerged over the years that both Academia and
Industry have certain expectations of one another, rightly or wrongly, as to what the other can and
will achieve as a vehicle for graduate learning. These last are encapsulated, for some, in the
arguments within the “education versus training “debate that has dogged the relationship for as
many years as formal Quantity Surveying education has existed.
At this point , the RICS itself should be added as a third stakeholder, for it is they who set the
required Levels of competence referred to above and in this way are the drivers of the qualification
process. The RICS themselves make certain assumptions as to the interpretation and
implementation of the necessary education and/or training which is being carried out in their name
and which will lead to the acquisition of the correct levels. Their control over the process is in fact
limited, as they do no direct delivery or assessment themselves, prior to the actual occasion of the
APC. They must rely upon activities both in the universities and in the workplace, trusting that their
own hoped-for standards are being met. Their chief input to the education process is through the
RICS –University Partnership scheme, whereby academic institutions seeking accreditation of their
degrees have to maintain relations with the RICS through annual process of review of
documentation and a Partnership meeting. There is no such routine control over the activities of
trainers in industry, although the latter will, ultimately, have to sign to certify that the candidate
from their workplace has indeed achieved the levels of competency sought.
From the above it will be seen that, at best, there is scope for misunderstandings between the
stakeholders as to what is being required and what is being achieved. At worst there may be actual
gaps in the education and/or training being offered and received or, at least, some discrepancies
between the levels of attainment.
