Program Educational Objectives

PEO1

Provide the Graduates of the program with high quality education that prepares students to assume professional roles in architecture by offering sound knowledge in design theories and applications, building technology, social, cultural and environmental factors, and the application of information technology.

PEO2

Prepare students to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints such as economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability, and sustainability.

PEO3

Prepare students to work effectively in multi-disciplinary teams within the building industry by providing knowledge in built environment related disciplines relevant to ethical responsibilities and professional obligations in architecture. Thus, developing an understanding of professional and ethical responsibility.

PEO4

Prepare students to acquire and develop creative problem solving and lifelong learning skills including critical thinking and assessment of existing environments, active and experiential learning for developing design concepts and solutions, and communication and presentation of those ideas to peers, clients, decision makers, and the public.

Program Outcomes

PO1

CRITICAL THINKING

Graduate will be able to demonstrate critical thinking through a self-reflective process of conceptualization and design thinking that is open to consideration of alternative perspectives by analysing, evaluating, and synthesizing ideas and information gathered through applied research grounded in information literacy.

PO2

BUILDING DESIGN CRITERIA

Graduate will be able to demonstrate knowledge and ability to apply a design decision-making process through appropriate technical documentation in a manner that is client-centred, sustainable, aesthetic, cost effective, and socially responsible.

PO3

BUILDING SYSTEMS KNOWLEDGE

Graduate will be able to Incorporate a wide range of technical skills and professional architectural knowledge during schematic design to demonstrate a comprehensive application of life safety, accessibility, and sustainability issues in making sound design decisions across varying scales and levels of complexity.

PO4

INTEGRATED ARCHITECTURAL SOLUTIONS

Graduate will be able to demonstrate the ability to synthesize a wide range of variables into an integrated design solution by employing appropriate building materials, building systems, and construction practices grounded in environmental stewardship and based on sound research and design decisions across varying scales of systems and levels of complexity.

PO5

TRADITIONAL ARCHITECTURAL KNOWLEDGE SYSTEMS

Graduate will be able to develop understanding on how to document and revive the traditional knowledge system through study of vernacular designs. Importance of community based design etc.

PO6

INFORMATION LITERACY

Graduate will be able to demonstrate information literacy through applied research by raising clear and precise questions, using abstract ideas to clarify and express information, and considering diverse points of view, to reach well-reasoned conclusions and evaluate options against relevant design criteria, building standards, and program requirements.

PO7

SOCIETY ORIENTED DESIGNING

Graduate will be able to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints such as economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability, and sustainability.

PO8

MODERN TOOLS AND TECHNIQUES

Graduate will be able to use the techniques, skills, and modern construction/designing tools necessary for Architectural practice.

PO9

PROFESSIONAL PRACTICE

Graduate will develop the understanding of professional and ethical responsibilities of an architect when they come to practice in field. Also, utilization of knowledge from the diverse forms and the dimensions of professional practice along with associated ethical, legal, financial and social responsibilities.

PO10

GRAPHICAL THINKING

Graduate will be able to implement complex two and three-dimensional graphic representation techniques using a wide variety of traditional and digital media, to reflect on and explain the architectural design process to a wide range of stakeholders.

PO11

ECO-SENSITIVE APPROACH

Graduate will develop and understanding with a sustainable approach. Tools and techniques related to eco-sensitivity will be introduced and applied for effective designing.

PO12

TEAMWORK AND LEADERSHIP

Graduate will develop an ability to function on multidisciplinary teams and together identify, formulate, and execute designs.

PSO Statement
