Undergraduate Program
Educational Objective
Undergraduate Program in Geological Engineering formulate educational objectives and expected learning outcomes of the students based on several aspect, such as: ITB and FITB Vision and Mission, national needs, international and national standard on bachelor in geoscience education, as well as input from our students, graduates, alumni organization, and geological society. Our educational objective is below:
1. Career Achievements
a) Produce graduates who are ready to work in various career paths, including industry, research, entrepreneurship, government agencies and academia.
b) Producing graduates who are able to develop expertise in geology and apply it to real-world challenges, such as resource and energy exploration, environmental management, and disaster mitigation.
2. Self-Development
a) Produce graduates who engage in continuous professional development throughout their careers (long-life learning) and national and international cooperation networks (networking).
b) Producing graduates who always update their knowledge with the development of science in the field of geology, adapt to technological advances, and contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals.
3. Further Education
a) Produce graduates who are ready to pursue advanced degrees (master’s or doctorate) in geology or related fields.
b) Producing graduates who can contribute to research, teaching, and advancing science and technology.
Intended Learning Outcome
Learning outcomes for the Undergraduate Program in Geological Engineering are defined according to the input from these several stakeholders such as professors, lecturers, researchers, alumni, geologist community, stakeholders and collaborators, as well as students will also be participated in the definition process of the learning outcomes.
According to those bases, Undergraduate Program in Geological Engineering has set the Program Learning Outcomes (PLO) for the graduates as follows:
- Students will be able to identify, formulate, and solve complex scientific and engineering problems in geology by applying mathematics, science, and engineering principles.
- Students will be able to apply science and engineering design in geology to produce scientific findings and engineering solutions that meet certain requirements in specific geological fields.
- Students will be able to develop and conduct appropriate and systematic methodologies in conducting studies in the field of geology.
- Students will be able to collect, analyze, and interpret scientific and engineering data in the field of geology.
- Students will be able to communicate effectively orally and in writing to various audiences.
- Students will be able to function effectively and efficiently in a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, and are adaptive in the face of challenges, changes, and technological developments.
- Students will be able to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities and be able to make appropriate judgments in various scientific and engineering situations in geology.
- Students will able to consider public health, safety, and welfare, as well as cultural, social, economic, and environmental factors globally, in every activity and work related to science and engineering in the field of geology.
- Students will able to acquire and apply new knowledge in geology’s scientific and engineering fields as needed by using appropriate learning strategies.
Students will Able to promoting the spirit of nationalism in continuously developing oneself in the professional and entrepreneurial world to compete globally.
Job Market Perspective and Practical Relevance
Geological knowledge is applicable for many professional fields, such as academia, the energy industry (oil and gas, coal, geothermal, water, electricity), natural resource exploration, environment management, natural hazards, regional and urban planning, etc. In addition, geologist also really needed in the government for decision-making process.
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.
