On Tuesday, 4 June 2024, The Geophysical Engineering Study Program held a curriculum revision workshop based on Outcome-Based Education (OBE).
In his speech, Head of the Geophysical Engineering Study Program, Mr. Ir. Rusli, expressed his hopes regarding the revision of the OBE-based curriculum. He said that it was hoped that this curriculum revision would be able to improve the quality of graduates, so that they are better prepared to face challenges in the world of work and are able to contribute significantly in the field of geophysics. “We hope that this new curriculum can produce graduates who not only have in-depth technical knowledge, but also competencies that are relevant to industry needs,” ujar Go. Rusli. Dean of the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, Dr. Lufsyi Mahmudin |, S.Si., M.Si., also gave a speech at the event. He emphasized the importance of revising the OBE-based curriculum in improving the quality of education. “With an OBE-based curriculum, we can ensure that every graduate has clear and measurable competencies. This will help them to more easily adapt and contribute to the world of work,said Dr. Lufsyi.
This workshop presented Drs. Ir. Adi Susilo, M.Si., Ph.D., expert from the Geophysical Engineering Study Program FMIPA Brawijaya University, as the main speaker. In his presentation, Dr. Adi Susilo explained various important aspects of the OBE-based curriculum, including the formulation of Graduate Learning Outcomes (CPL), Course Learning Outcomes (CPMK), as well as developing course content and distribution of courses per semester.
This curriculum revision will include several significant changes, among others:
- Graduate Learning Outcomes (CPL): CPL adjustments to be more relevant to industrial needs and scientific developments.
- Course Learning Outcomes (CPMK): CPMK adjustments for each course to support CPL achievement.
- Course Load: Updated course content to reflect the latest developments in the field of geophysics.
- Distribution of Courses per Semester: Rearranging the distribution of courses to ensure a more even and effective distribution of the learning load.
- SKS load: Evaluate and adjust the credit load to suit the competency needs of graduates.
After this workshop, The next step is the implementation of the new curriculum in the semester 2024/2025. The curriculum team will work hard to ensure that all proposed changes can be implemented well and have a positive impact on the learning process.
This workshop ended with a discussion and question and answer session, where participants actively provide input and suggestions for improving the curriculum. Expected, with this workshop, The Geophysical Engineering Study Program can continue to improve the quality of its education and produce graduates who are ready to compete in the global world.
