Curriculum 2013

CURRICULUM 2013

Currently, Department of Architecture UII run Curriculum 2013. This is the first curriculum designed for 5-year program consisting of 4-year Bachelor program as the Pre-Professional Program in Architecture and 1-year Professional Program in Architecture. Competences as defined by IAI. All of these criteria are distributed in courses in the Bachelor and Professional program. By the time this Curriculum is implemented in 2013, PPAr program is already established for a year. Therefore, some minor adjustment is carried out to match both programs.

Primary references in the development of this curriculum are:

1. KAAB Conditions & Procedures For Professional Degree Programs in Architecture 2013

2. Competences for Architects as stipulated by Indonesian Institute of Architects

3. Charter of Architectural Education in Indonesia 2010

4. Recommendation of IASA concerning National Competence of Architectural Higher Education 2012

Educational Objective

Educational Objectives to achieve in Curriculum 2013 are as follows:

· To have excellent communication skills

· To have comprehensive design skills in the level of medium size buildings

· To have knowledge in building science and technology based on sustainable development

· To have sensibility in socio-cultural context and marginal society

· To have skills and ethics based on Islamic and universal values

Graduate Competence

After defining graduate profiles for both Bachelor and Professional programs above, Department of Architecture UII develop further competences to achieve in each course as derivation of educational objectives and graduate profiles by referring to International and National Standards.

a) International Standard of Competence

In formulating the graduate competence, Department of Architecture UII refer to KAAB Condition and Procedures for Professional Degree Programs (2013). KAAB define the detailed competence into Student Performance Criteria (SPC) consisting of 30 criteria classified into 5 categories including communication, cultural context, design, technical area and professional practice. These SPC are progressively ordered starting with the basic foundation of knowledge and technology, and expanding to the professional technical area and the role and the responsibility of architect in society.

As the SPC establish minimum achievement level for graduates of professional degree programs considered necessary of those intended to apply for license to practice architecture. Professional degree programs must prove that the graduates of the program successfully completed the compulsory courses to satisfy all the provisions of the 30 criteria.

The levels of achievement for each SPC are distinguished in two levels:

· UNDERSTANDING: Students must acquire, comprehend, and be well acquainteto d with information. Students can correctly paraphrase or summarize information without necessarily relating it to other material or seeing its fullest implications.

· ABILITY: Students must be capable of manipulating and relating specific information acquired to achieve tasks. Students should be able to select the correct information suitable to the given situation, and facilitate it to resolve the particular problems on hand.

More detailed explanation for the application of these SPC into courses is described in Student Performance Criteria.

b) National Standard of Competence

Department of Architecture UII refer to National Standards of Competence as defined by IASA which adopt the UIA Charter for Architectural Education (2005) and Standard of Competence as formulated by IAI.

Structure of the Curriculum

With the establishment of PPAr as an integrated part of Architectural Education, Curriculum 2013 is structured to include both Bachelor and Professional programs with optional termination at the end of the fourth year. Curriculum 2013 of Department of Architecture UII consists of Core Curriculum or National Curriculum as stipulated by IASA and Institutional Curriculum as formulated by the Department. This Curriculum is delivered in 33 compulsory courses plus 2 elective courses for the Bachelor Program (totalling 150 credits) and 4 compulsory courses plus 2 elective courses for the Professional Program (totalling 36 credits).

Table Outline of the Curriculum

Professional Architect Degree Program (186 credits)	Bachelor Program (150 credits)	Compulsory (33 courses, 142 credits)
		Elective (2-4 courses, 8 credits)
	Professional Program (36 credits)	Compulsory (4 courses, 28 credits)
		Elective (2 courses, 8 credits)

Curriculum 2013 is structured with considerations:

·Architectural Design Studio (ADS) courses running consecutively from Semester 1 to Semester 10 serve as the backbone of the Curriculum. All of design competences in requiring ability level are distributed in these corses.

· Other courses with architectural contents are distributed to support the competences achieved in ADS courses.

· Institutional Character Building and Liberal Arts courses are flexibly distributed on the first eight semesters.

Liberal Arts Courses

Contents of “liberal arts” is implemented in the Curriculum 2013 as the development of competence in forming the fundamental knowledge, personality and characters of the graduates. Most of the courses with this contents are University courses. There are 10 courses with 2 credits each, namely: Islamic Principles, Islamic Worship, State Philisophy, Entrepreneurship, Islamic Thoughts and Civilization, Islamic Leadership, English, Mathematics and Community Services. These courses are distributed in almost all semesters. Due to the limited number of credits in PPAr Program, all of these courses are in the Bachelor of Architecture Program.

Contents of Courses

The content of each courses are develop along six interrelated domains of knowledge: architectural design, communication, architectural theories, technology, professionalism and character building. The level of competence to achieved in these domains of knowledge are: awareness, understanding, and ability.

SpecialRules

The amount of learning activities in each course, including studio and non-studio subjects, is measured in credit. One credit equals to 50 minutes classroom activities, 50 minutes structured activities and 50 minutes independent activities per week. If a theoretical subject has 2 credits with the SPC in the level of understanding, then, a student is required to attend 100 minutes classroom session per week.

ADS courses with SPC in the level of ability requires more comprehensive activities. For an ADS with 6 credits, for instance, students have to attend: 300 minutes in-studio sessions with mostly tutorial activities and 300 minutes extra-studio activities to enhance their knowledge and skills which may include studium general, field trip, site visit, practical and experimental works, and additional tutorial activities for certain themes.

There are some rules for students to consider in this Curriculum:

1. Minimum C to pass all Architectural Design Studio courses including Bachelor Final Project and Professional Studio courses.

2. Minimum C to pass all University courses (Principles of Islam, State Philosophy, Islamic Leadership, Islamic Thought and Civilization, Citizenship, English, Islamic Worship and Ethics, Entrepreneurship, dan Community Service.

3. Should take minimum 8 credits of elective courses after passing Architectural Design Studio 3.

4. Professional Program is optional for the graduates of Bachelor Program but it is compulsory for those applying for professional architects.

Clusters of Expertise and Laboratories

Laboratories are essential learning infrastructure for ADS courses for students to develope knowledge and exercise skills through practical works and experimentations. Each Laboratory may have different roles and varied methods in supporting learning activities in general or studio program in particular. While laboratories primarily concentrate on applying knowledge, Clusters of Expertise play more significant roles in developing knowledge to deliver in all courses.
