S1 – Curriculum

Curriculum

In ITB, students complete the bachelor program after taking the minimum of 144 credit hours (Satuan Kredit Semester / SKS), offered in 8 regular semesters. Generally, all programs are conducted in two stages as follows:

The Common Preparatory Level (Tahap Persiapan Bersama, TPB) administered by the Institution for Common Preparatory Level (Lembaga Tahap Persiapan Bersama / LTPB). This stage initiates the undergraduate study by strengthening the comprehension of basic sciences and enhancing required learning aptitudes. The normal duration of this stage is two semesters, consists of 36 credit hours. However, students must complete this stage in 2 years.

The Bachelor stage (Sarjana) administered by the study programs within each faculty or school. This is the stage for developing the knowledge and skill of the chosen discipline. The normal duration is 6 semesters with minimum 108 SKS. Students are given 6 years to complete the undergraduate stage, including the common preliminary stage.

The curriculum structure of the Undergraduate Program in Geological Engineering can be expressed in the form of a roadmap as in Figure 1 and Figure 2

Figure 2. Undergraduate Program in Geological Engineering Compulsory Course Roadmap

Undergraduate Program of Geological Engineering 2013 curriculum is divided into two stages, which is:

First Year Preparation Program : 2 semester, 36 CU
Undergraduate Program: 6 semester, 108 CU

According to the type, there are two type of courses in Geology Department, which is:

Compulsory: 89 or 91 CU (maximum compulsory credit is different according to the choice of final project type, A or B)
Elective: 17 or 19 CU ( 3 CU from external elective courses, 14-16 CU of internal elective courses)

Total Courses: 8 semester, 144 CU

Compulsory Courses: 125 or 127 CU

Elective Courses: 17 or 19 CU

Geological Engineers should be able to deal with future challenges, such as issues related to non-renewable energy (fossil energy) and renewable energy, natural hazards and disasters, environmental (including groundwater issues), and development of earth sciences. The curriculum of Geological Engineering program is designed based on program learning outcomes so that graduates will be able to identify geological-related problems as well as providing engineering solution. Our graduates must be able to conduct standard data collection, processing and analysis, make geological interpretation, and identify engineering problems and then provide engineering solutions. Therefore they need a strong engineering and geological knowledge as their foundation. Basic sciences such as general chemistry, elementary physics, and mathematics become an integral part for comprehending various geological features and processes, and providing engineering solutions.

Geological Engineering Study Program offers three study paths for students (i.e., Geotechnics & Groundwater, Energy & Mineral Exploration and Applied Geology) that can be subdivided as follows:

In semester 7, applied courses are given to improve the ability to examine various problems in geology and other related sciences. At this stage, students should select elective courses according to their specific interests. By the end of this stage, students will take a final project to apply all their skills and abilities to synthesize geological problems.
