It offers an educational program which aims at producing competent graduates of high quality with skills of creative thought and critical analysis, strong personality, and awareness of the lifelong process of education and the need for continued professional growth. The Department is committed to the development of a professional program in analysis, design, construction, supervision, and maintenance of infrastructure needed for dealing with environmental concerns. The CEED-UGM is responsible for the establishment and advancement of the civil and environmental engineering science, and is open to various forms of cooperation with other institutions that bring mutual benefits. The department sets itself the vision to be an internationally recognized higher educational institution in civil and environmental engineering, placing emphasis on academic excellence and research excellence, meeting international standards of quality, and producing academically qualified graduates, culturally enlightened citizens with professional integrity and dedication to the needs of society and human welfare. To achieve the vision, students of the Study Program in Civil Engineering (SPCE) are academically prepared with a specially designed curriculum which incorporates an additional feature referred to as the 3 + 1 program. This program enables students to have a wider range of competencies because it is tailored to their needs, interest, and abilities thereby helping them to become successful agents of change in their future careers. The first three years is thus dedicated to deepening and expanding their fundamental knowledge base in civil and environmental engineering and the remaining one year focuses on gaining and developing their additional competencies. AUN QA JTSL vii CHAPTER I Goals and Objectives/Expected Learning Outcomes The Civil and Environmental Engineering Department of Universitas Gadjah Mada (CEED-UGM) is one of eight departments in the Faculty of Engineering. Founded on February 17, 1946, several months after the Indonesian Declaration of Independence (1945), CEED-UGM is even older than the University (1949). It was incorporated into UGM on December 19, 1949. The Study Program in Civil Engineering (SP-CE) is one of the educational programs conducted by CEED-UGM along with the Postgraduate Program in Civil Engineering, the Master’s Program in Transportation System and Engineering, the Doctoral Program in Civil Engineering, and the Diploma Study Program in Civil Engineering. The Department sets itself the vision to be an internationally recognized higher educational institution in civil and environmental engineering, placing emphasis on research and education, meeting international standards of quality, and producing academically qualified graduates with professional integrity and dedication to the needs of society. In keeping with the above vision, the missions to be accomplished are as follows: 1. To provide for an educational program that equips students with expertise in civil engineering. 2. To conduct research that contributes to the advancement of science and infrastructure technology, particularly relating to planning, design, implementation, operation and maintenance. 3. To carry out community service through the involvement of all elements of the academic community and the participation of stakeholders. 4. To work out and maintain co-operative arrangements with educational and research institutions, the government, the business world, and the general public. 5. To foster a sustainable development of the departmental organization with a view to becoming an institution par excellence with an international reputation. AUN QA JTSL 1 6. To improve the management of the department so as to make it transparent and accountable, and help to enhance the performance of the staff. CEED-UGM has a strong commitment to becoming a reliable and reputable educational institution in the spectrum of the civil and environmental engineering discipline. It offers an academic program which aims at producing graduates of high quality with skills of creative thought and critical analysis, with great strength of character and awareness of the lifelong process of education and continued professional growth throughout their lives. CEED-UGM is also committed to the sustainability of the professional program in analysis, design, construction, supervision, and maintenance of infrastructure with a view to making a positive contribution to national development in the broadest sense. It is responsible for the establishment and advancement of the civil and engineering science, and is open to various forms of co-operation with other institutions that bring mutual benefits. The SP-CE aims to produce highly competent graduates covering the combined aspects of knowledge-understanding-skill: good grounding in the basic sciences of mathematics-physics-statistics; mastery of theory to be applied in the performance of their duties; mastery supervision/implementation of of the aspects projects, of operations planning/design/analysis, and maintenance of buildings/facilities; ability in research and development; as well as commitment to professional integrity and high moral standards. Students are expected to pass with a GPA of ≥ 3.10, to complete their studies within an average of ≤ 5 years, and to have a time lag of ≤ 2.5 months between graduation and employment. In line with this target, the SP-CE strives to develop human resources who are capable of achieving the Program’s vision and missions to become a competitive institution in education, research, and community service with an international reputation. The academic human resources are expected to produce scholarly publications: scientific articles or research papers > 1.5/yrs/faculty member and textbooks > 0.1 /year/faculty member. Since the introduction of the accreditation system for higher education by the National Accreditation Board of the Ministry of National Education, SP-CEE has invariably received a commendable position. In the period of 1998-2003, it was accredited A (fully accredited), and in the subsequent period (2003-2008), it received Grade A with a score of 393 out of 400. Under the Competitive Grant Program, it was AUN QA JTSL 2 granted a QUE (Quality for Undergraduate Education) project for the 1999-2004 period (Batch II), and a Competitive Grant Program B for the 2005-2007 period. One of the main objectives is to increase the number of human resources in civil and environmental engineering to undertake the task of planning, construction and maintenance of infrastructure. To this end, the courses of instruction are carried out in accordance with the existing prescribed curriculum without excluding the possibility of making alterations according to the views and wishes of the stakeholders. In general, the labour market has not set any specific requirements for graduates to meet. The SP-CE, however, keeps trying to solicit input from users of our graduates and alumni by sending out questionnaires or through direct communication at periodic or incidental meetings with our alumni. In this way, it is hoped that our graduates’ qualifications will satisfy market demand. To facilitate access to employment opportunities, the SP-CE’s curriculum has been designed to cater for the needs in the job market through the creation of various study options which the students can choose according to their interests and long-term goals. The SP-CE has thus produced a rich and balanced curriculum known as 3 + 1 program. Dissemination of information on the vision and missions of the SP-CE to faculty members and students is carried out in various ways: 1. Distribution of the Academic Handbook of 2009 to all students and members of the academic and administrative staff. 2. Distribution of a CD Company profile to all students and members of the academic and administrative staff. 3. Display by posting up a banner in the lobby of the departmental office. 4. Display by posting up the SP-CE backdrop on the departmental premises, including classrooms. 5. Website at http://tsipil.ugm.ac.id 6. Seminar organized by the SP-CE In order to ensure that the vision, missions, and aims of the SP-CE are fully understood and appreciated by the students, lecturers, administrative staff, and alumni the SP-CE will continue to disseminate this information more intensively in the future. The goals and objectives are realised through the learning process and academic atmosphere created within a frame of reference embodied in a curriculum that AUN QA JTSL 3 meets the needs of society. The methods used to convey the materials contained in the curriculum are face to face classroom interactions, structured tasks (planning, laboratory practicum, and home assignments) and field study. In addition, the student-centered learning (SCL) and problem-based learning (PBL) approaches have been adopted by SP-CE in efforts to enhance the graduates’ competence. The 3+1 feature of the curriculum constitutes an arrangement in which during the first three years (semesters IVI) students are equipped with basic compulsory courses in civil engineering and in the first semester of the final year (semesters VII-VIII) they are free to choose one of the four schemes offered: Scheme A (multi-disciplinary); Scheme B (internship); Scheme C (international program); and Scheme D (community development). Graduates produced under this 3+1 program are expected to be able to compete globally on equal terms. In efforts to fulfil the obligation imposed by Tridharma (the tripartite doctrine of higher education), the Department enjoys adequate facilities and infrastructure: 1. Structured tasks are given in the form of planning, practicum, and home assignments. Students are also free to develop specific materials according to their interests through elective courses, and the final project varies considerably (such as research, design, writing computer programs, and study of literature). Assessment of the learning process is made on the basis of performance in several components: (a) home assignments, (b) periodic quizzes, (c) mid-semester examination, (d) final examination. 2. Students make a self-evaluation of their progress by means of the Achievement Monitoring Graphics. At the start of the semester, students are provided with the Grade Report Card of the previous semester which they use to determine the number of credit hours they are allowed to take. In order to maintain an academic atmosphere that is conducive to the learning and teaching process, all academic activities are centered on campus. Each faculty member has a work space in the laboratory completed with a telephone, air conditioners, and local-area network installation. Sufficient laboratory equipment is available to motivate faculty members and keep them preoccupied with work on campus, thereby helping to create a stimulating environment. All classrooms are air-conditioned and can be used by students outside lecture hours. The departmental library is also provided with AC and LAN facilities. AUN QA JTSL 4 The Civil Engineering Assistant Lecturers’ Association is provided with a separate work space to enable arrangements for student academic services on campus such as tutorials and practicum assessments. Lecturers and their assistants hold regular meetings to discuss the conduct of activities and problems that arise, thereby ensuring transfer of knowledge. The SP-CE organizes a number of programs such as community development and thematically-based community service, which involve both lecturers and students. In addition, a canteen has been put up as a place for continual informal contact between lecturers and students. Prior to a comprehensive oral examination, a candidate is required to attend a seminar and present a paper in preparation for the exam. Goals and objectives are translated into concrete requirements by formulation of the contents of the curriculum, taking into account the views and aspirations of stakeholders. In order to make the goals and objectives more specific, the courses of instruction are grouped into subject areas of specialization for students. Likewise, the faculty members’ spheres of expertise and qualifications are classified according to fields of specialization. The current fields of specialization are Transportation, Geotechnics, Hydraulics, and Structure. AUN QA JTSL 5 CHAPTER II Program 2.1 Program Contents A higher education curriculum is a set of plans and arrangements of the area of study, the subjects included in a course of study, instructional materials and the manner of presentation as well as the methods of assessment used as a guide to the way educational activities are conducted in tertiary institutions. A curriculum should define the graduates’ standards of competence in the major field as well as the supporting and other supplementary qualifications, which are considered capable of achieving the aims of the institution, the execution of its missions, and the realization of the SP-CE’s vision. The curriculum contains all the courses/modules/blocks which contribute to the achievement of the graduates’ competence and it provides opportunities for students to broaden their perspectives and deepen their expert knowledge according to their interests. It also covers course descriptions, the syllabi, course profiles/outlines and assessment methods. The curriculum must be designed in accordance with its relevance to the objectives, coverage and depth of materials and their organization which foster the attainment of hard skills and soft skills applicable to a variety of situations and conditions. The undergraduate educational system in the SP-CE is oriented toward providing greater opportunities for students to develop their potential and put into practice the knowledge they have acquired when they embark on a professional career after graduation both in civil and environmental engineering and in related fields. Students are expected to acquire the following competencies: 1. Ability to carry out quality research. 2. Ability to build motivation, self-confidence, and determination in the pursuit of knowledge. 3. Ability to break down the barriers between disciplines and to unify and synthesize ideas. AUN QA JTSL 6 4. Ability to develop good communication skills, particularly in the actual performance of tasks (as in field practice). 5. Skills in utilizing information technology. 6. Ability to develop their learning experience into a total involvement. 7. Ability to develop leadership skills and capability of transferring their expertise to others. 8. Ability contributes their skills to public service and carries out community service activities. The composition of the curriculum shows a proper balance between specialist contents, general knowledge and specific skills on the one hand and professional ethics on the other. The range of expected qualifications of graduates is composed of the major competency (>60%), supporting competency (>30%), and other competencies (<10%) represented in the following outline: 1. Integrity (morality and ethics) 2. Expertise in the chosen field (professionalism) 3. English language proficiency 4. Use of information technology 5. Written and oral communication 6. Teamwork 7. Self-development Detailed representation of the above is as follows: 1. Knowledge and Understanding This requires a graduate to be well-grounded in: a. mathematics, physics, and statistics b. the various aspects of the civil engineering practice with regard to construction process (such as buildings, bridges, dams and other hydraulic structures) covering the various phases of survey, investigation, design, operation, and maintenance 2.

For all graduates, those in I-1, I-2, II-1 to II-4; III-1 to III-4, IV-1 to IV-7 2. For graduates in Scheme A, those in items I to IV plus V-1 and V-2 3. For graduates in Scheme B, those in items I to IV plus V-3 4. For graduates in Scheme C, those in items I to IV plus V-4 5. For graduates in Scheme D, those in items I to IV plus V-5 The existing curriculum is Curriculum 2006, which is an enhancement version of Curriculum 2001. It expands students’ qualifications beyond their own specialization, enhancing their professionalism as engineers, ready for global competition and an orientation towards community development. It is also referred to as Curriculum 3 + 1 in which the first three years (semester I-VI), students are equipped with competencies in civil engineering and in the first semester of the final year (semester VII-VIII) they are offered a choice from four schemes as follows. a. Scheme A: multi-disciplinary course offerings in which students pursue courses in civil engineering and investigate areas outside their own fields to enrich their knowledge in other disciplines which are closely related to civil engineering subjects. b. Scheme B: Internship in which, as a final project, students gain practical field experience in construction services either with a planning consultant, a contractor, a supervising consultant or a related agency/institution c. Scheme C: International program in which students can pursue studies abroad and take advantage of the valuable opportunity to build self-confidence in international interactions d. Scheme D: Community Development program in which, as a final project, students carry out a practical application of research results to community development The implementation of Curriculum 2006 has generally shown some promising results - although Scheme A is still problematic. In this scheme, students in the civil engineering Study Program may take courses in another faculty or study program within UGM. In this way, the students are expected to have an interdisciplinary perspective which will be useful in their career as engineers. Unfortunately, this scheme is faced with administrative constraints imposed by the complexity of synchronizing the schedules for academic activities between the SP-CE and its partner institution, which include all the AUN QA JTSL 9 standard procedures (course registration, class timetables, practicum, mid-semester and final examinations). The other schemes (B, C, D) however, have been very well organized and implemented. Enthusiastic responses have been shown by both students and partner institutions for internships (Scheme B) and community development (Scheme D). In Scheme B, partner institutions have accepted a number of students to undertake internships as their final project. In Scheme D, cooperative arrangements have been made with nine partner institutions. Similar arrangements have been made with foreign universities (Scheme C). In 2006, one student was sent to the National University of Singapore, two students to the Netherlands followed by seven students in the following year. The data of students who have opted for Schemes B, C, and D are presented in Table 2.1 and Table 2.2. Table 2.1 Number of Students in Schemes B and D (from 2006/2007 to 2009/2010) Academic Year 2006-2007 2007-2008 2008-2009 2009-2010 Total Number Scheme B Scheme D 17 21 2 25 9 3 8 36 49 Table 2.2 Number of Students in Scheme C (from 2006/2007 to 2009/2010) Academic Year 2006-2007 University National University of Singapore Hogeschool Utrecht, the Netherlands Number 1 2 2007-2008 Hogeschool Utrecht, the Netherlands Hanze University Groningen, the Netherlands Saxion University of Applied Sciences, the Netherlands 3 2 2 2009-2010 Hanze University Groningen, the Netherlands Saxion University of Applied Sciences, the Netherlands 5 4 2010-2011 Saxion University of Applied Sciences, the Netherlands 4 AUN QA JTSL 10 2.2 Program Specification The SP-CE is one of the educational programs administered by the CEED-UGM in the Faculty of Engineering UGM. The other programs are as follows: a. Engineering Sciences Postgraduate Study Program b. Civil Engineering Postgraduate Program c. Master’s in Natural Disaster Management d. Master’s in Infrastructure Management e. Master’s in Resource Management f. Master’s in Building Materials Technology g. Master’s in System and Transportation Engineering h. Civil Engineering Doctoral Study Program The SP-CE currently offers a four-year coursework leading to the Bachelor of Civil Engineering degree. Students are required to complete a minimum of 144 credit hours (one credit hour is considered equivalent to three hours of study load per week) of which 120 credit hours are earned from compulsory courses during the first three years and 22 credit hours earned from elective courses and compulsory final project. Students choose one of the four schemes offered in their fourth year as mentioned previously. Moreover, in recent years, the SP-CE has introduced another stream to pursue master program that is a fast track option which enables students with good academic standing to take a number of courses in the master’s program before completing their undergraduate study. Elective courses offered to fourth-year students are focused on six fields: construction materials, environmental engineering, geotechnics, hydraulics and hydrology, structural engineering, and transportation system and engineering. 2.3 Program Organization The implication of the concept of a higher education curriculum as a guide for administering academic activities in tertiary institutions is that instructional materials must have the basic nature of effective learning : scientific, systematic, consistent, contextual, relevant to developments in the employment market, flexible to external influences, and comprehensive. Accordingly, the SP-CE has made every effort to introduce innovations to adjust to the increasingly rapid developments in the construction services without abandoning the AUN QA JTSL 11 basic nature of effective learning. Since the 1990s the Department’s curriculum has undergone three significant revisions undertaken by the staff in a spirit of professional obligation to seek solutions to the problem of improving the quality of engineering education and to ensure that students will be able to complete their studies in no later than four years with a GPA above 3.1. The constantly revised curriculum reflects the Department’s commitment to producing successful graduates ready to embark on a professional career and highly dedicated to their work. The latest curriculum is based on the 2006 curriculum drawn up through a process of soliciting input from all stakeholders. This has been carried out in a number of workshops as follows. 1. Workshop I: This was conducted to obtain responses and input on the draft of the 2006 curriculum attended by representatives of tertiary institutions, construction companies, and regional government agencies in the Provinces of Central Java and the Special Region of Yogyakarta. 2. Workshop II: This was intended as an internal brainstorming session among the Department’s teaching staff to review the draft. 3. Workshop III: This was conducted to deal with the aspects of academic administration and finance, attended by the Vice Deans for Academic and Financial Affairs from several co-operating faculties at UGM as well as representatives from construction companies. 4. Workshop IV: This was intended to receive feedback from students who will be affected by the newly-revised curriculum. It was attended by the Department’s academic staff and representatives of the student body. 2.3.1 Program Distribution The curriculum has been designed to enable a lifelong commitment to learning and scholarship in the sense that students are encouraged to pursue studies at higher levels, to develop their potential in workplace, and to foster self-education. Course descriptions and syllabi are contained in the academic Handbook/General Catalog and the RPKPS (Semester Course Outlines & Lesson Plans) which have been drawn up in accordance with the AMI (Internal Quality Audit) and ISO standards of quality assurance. The curriculum is reviewed every five years taking into consideration recent advances in science and technology, input from stakeholders, and the result of benchmarking with domestic and foreign tertiary institutions, ensuring consistency with AUN QA JTSL 12 the SP-CE’s vision, mission, aims and objectives. The SP-CE sets up an adhoc committee to carry out revision of the curriculum. The quality assurance mechanism is continuously maintained through monitoring, evaluation, and improvement in the learning process. It covers class attendance (of both students and lecturers), course materials, and course outlines/lesson plans. The end-of-semester evaluation process is one way of obtaining information on the quality of academic activities. It includes a procedure in which the lecturers’ performance is assessed by their students through questionnaires. In addition, on the first day of class, a lecturer is obliged to present the syllabus and course objectives as well as teaching and assessment methods used for the whole semester. The present curriculum describes the general requirements to be fulfilled by students, i.e. a study load of 144 credit hours comprising 129 credit hours for compulsory courses and 15 credit hours for elective courses, which students can take within and/or outside the Department. 1.

Sit examinations and be informed of results 2.4 Didactic Concept and Teaching-Learning Strategies The academic activities in the civil engineering Study Program are conducted in accordance with the quality assurance system set down by the University. The problembased learning approach is one that is mostly adopted by lecturers, particularly for courses loaded with engineering contents. In addition, the method of presenting instructional materials encourages students’ active participation (student-centered learning). Each course is taught by a team of lecturers consisting of at least two lecturers. Each course in the semester requires 14 sessions with the following arrangement: 1. weeks 1-7 : face to face lecture classes 2. weeks 8-9 : mid-semester examination 3. weeks 10-16 : face to face lecture classes 4. weeks 17-18 : final semester examination AUN QA JTSL 25 In addition, assistant lecturers give guidance through tutorials and assignment and laboratory work sessions. A list of courses that requires assignments and laboratory work is shown in Table 2.3. A number of courses, particularly with engineering contents, generally require visits to civil engineering infrastructure in the form of field study. 1. Study Load Registration Card (KRS) In order to attend classes and to participate in other academic activities, students must fill in the KRS with the approval of the academic advisor. For students in the second semester and beyond, the number of credit hours (SKS) taken is based on their achievements in the previous semester. 2. Grade Report Card (KHS) The Grade Report Card is a card that contains all the courses taken by a student along with the grades earned. The KHS is processed by the Academic Affairs Section according to the examination grades submitted by lecturers. KHS serves as material for producing a transcript and is used as a basis to determine whether a student has satisfied the requirements to proceed with the next process such as Community Service, Final Project, Seminar and graduation ceremony. 3. Attendance Students are obliged to sign the attendance sheet at every class session. Prior to the final semester examination, the Academic Affairs Section goes through the attendance sheets to determine a student’s entitlement to take the examinations. Attendance of a minimum of 70% is required to be allowed to take an examination. 4. The Credit Hours System The study load is specified under the credit hours (SKS) system. One SKS equals three hours per week during one semester comprising one lecturer hour, one planned but unscheduled activity (such as homework and report writing), and one hour independent study. a. Study Load The maximum study based on the semester KHS (X-1) is stipulated in Table 2.2. AUN QA JTSL 26 Table 2.9 Maximum Study Load Semester GPA (x-1) Maximum Study Load GPA < 1.25 14 cred.hrs 1.25 ≤ GPA < 1.75 16 cred.hrs 1.75 ≤ GPA < 2.25 18 cred.hrs 2.25 ≤ GPA < 2.75 20 cred.hrs 2.75 ≤ GPA < 3.00 22 cred.hrs GPA ≥ 3.00 24 cred.hrs For first-year students, the study load allowed is arranged as follows: 1. The Semester I KRS contains a set of courses for the first semester. 2. The Semester II KRS contains a set of courses for the second semester. If the Semester I GPA is ≥ 2.75, the study load is taken according to the above table. 3. Students who have not been evaluated for the first two years (30 cred.hrs with GPA of ≥ 2.00) are not allowed to take courses in semester V and beyond. The courses in semesters I and II with grades D and E must be repeated in the second year. 5. Regulations Students are required to conform with the following regulations : a. Students are expected to be present some time before a class starts. To avoid disruption, students are discouraged from attending class for a late arrival of ten minutes. b. Students are not allowed to leave classroom before class finishes. c. Mobile phones must be silenced during class. d. Students should keep order in class. e. Students are expected to be appropriately dressed and conduct themselves in a manner compatible with the occasion. f. Students are strictly forbidden to damage the property belonging to the classroom. g. Students are not permitted to sit the final examination of a particular course if their attendance is less than 70 % of the total lecture hours in the semester. AUN QA JTSL 27 The Syllabus is drawn up by a group of faculty members within a field of study taking into account suggestions from other faculty members and stakeholders. The RPKS (course outline and detailed lesson plans) is annually evaluated by a team under the group of specialization in the CEED-UGM and is done in conformity with the quality assurance system. Academic supervision of students is carried out by lecturers covering the completion of KRS, consultation on elective courses and the Final Project as well as problems encountered by students relating to their learning progress. The policy on academic atmosphere such as academic freedom and freedom of the academic forum is also implemented through publication of scientific articles in journals and the mass media, dissemination of research proposals, subscription of scientific journals, and the availability of bandwidth IT. In addition, resources and facilities to maintain lecturerstudents interactions are available. 2.5 Student Assessment 2.5.1 Admission Requirements Candidates for admission to the UGM undergraduate program are selected by an entrance examination organized by the university (called UM-UGM) and a nation-wide entrance examination (called SNMPTN). The admission through UM-UGM is arranged in two pathways: 1. A Scheme for tracing candidates with strong records of achievement within their schools 2. A written examination taken by upper secondary students in their final year and those who have graduated from the upper secondary school (restricted to schoolleavers within the past three years) General Requirements: 1. Citizenship a. Indonesian citizens b. Naturalized Indonesian citizens c. Foreign citizens with official permission from the Directorate General of Higher Education of the Indonesian Ministry of National Education 2. Diploma/Certificate of Completion a. Graduates of upper secondary school/Madrasah Aliyah (Islamic upper secondary school) AUN QA JTSL 28 b. Graduates of vocational upper secondary school with an average grade of 6.5 or those who have had work experience in their field for at least two years. c. Graduates of foreign upper secondary school with official permission from the Indonesian Ministry of National Education. 3. Age limit and year of diploma/certificate of completion a. No age limit for candidates b. Restricted to a diploma of the past three years Special Requirements: 1) Candidates who have passed the entrance examination still need to meet special requirements for eligibility to certain programs of study, e.g. candidates should not be colour blind, physically handicapped, or have speech impediments 2) A candidate is not allowed to register in more than one program of study within UGM in the same registration period. Admission procedure and requirements through the nation-wide tertiary institution entrance examination (SNMPTN) are generally the same as those through UM-UGM 2.5.2 Attendance Students are required to sign the attendance sheet at every class session. Prior to the final semester examination, the Academic Affairs Section goes through the attendance sheets to determine a student’s entitlement to take the examinations. Attendance of a minimum of 70 % is required to be allowed to take the examinations. 2.5.3 Examinations and Assessments 1. Examination System An examination is conducted in various ways : written, oral, seminar, paper writing, or a combination of the above. The objectives of conducting an examination are as follows: a. To find out whether a student has shown his/her understanding of a subject. b. To classify students according to their levels of ability into categories, i.e. very good (category A), good (category B), fair (category C), poor (category D), and low/very poor (category E). AUN QA JTSL 29 c. To assess the appropriateness of the materials and the manner of presentation which ensure that students are able to understand with reasonable efforts. In order to achieve the objectives of conducting examinations, it is necessary to administer more than one examination, i.e. the final examination and at least one periodic test or quiz. To determine the final grade, the weight of each component needs to be specified and informed to the students. 2. Assessment System The system used is a relative system of assessment, i.e. a student’s ability is assessed in a relation to the abilities of other students in the class. This means that the achievement of all students in a class is used as the basis of assessment. The students’ abilities are indicated by letter grades: A = very good B = good C = fair D = poor E = very poor/fail 2.5.4 Evaluation Evaluation of students’ achievement is carried out at the end of a semester. For the undergraduate program, evaluation is also carried out at the end of the first two years, at the end of the eighth semester and at the end of the study program. In addition, evaluation is carried out at the end of the time limit for each program level. 1. Grade Point Average A student’s study progress is expressed in a Grade Point Average. To work out the GPA, the letter grades are weighted in the form of figures : Letter Grade Credit weighting A = 4 B = 3 C = 2 D = 1 E = 0 With the above weighting, the GPA is calculated using the following formula: AUN QA JTSL 30 GPA Formula Semester GPA SGPA = ∑ (cred.hrs) x (weighting) Total cred.hrs completed Cumulative GPA CGPA = ∑ (cred.hrs) x (highest grades) Total cred.hrs completed The GPA is within a range between 0 and 4. 2. End of Semester Evaluation Evaluation at the end of each semester covers all the courses taken in the current semester and the result is used to determine the study load that students are allowed to complete with the stipulations hereinbelow : Undergraduate Program Semester GPA of > 3.00 : 21-24 cred.hrs Semester GPA of 2.50-2.99 : 18-21 cred.hrs Semester GPA of 2.00-2.49 : 15-18 cred.hrs Semester GPA of 1.50-1.99 : 12-15 cred.hrs : 12 cred.hrs max Semester GPA of < 1.5 3. Evaluation of the first four semesters The first evaluation is for students who have done the courses in the first four semesters consecutively since enrolment. By the end of the fourth semester a student should have completed a minimum of 30 credit hours and a GPA of at least 2.00. Students who have not met this requirement are not allowed to continue their studies. The steps taken to help students get through to evaluation are as follows: a. Making an inventory of the conditions of students who encounter problems in their studies and use it as points of consideration for the academic advisors to deal with the problems. b. Sending reminders to students with a GPA under 2.00 at the end of the third semester. 4. Final Evaluation At the end of the time limit of the prescribed study period, i.e. the fourteenth semester, students must meet the following requirements: a. Completion of 144 credit hours with a minimum GPA of 2.00 b. No failing grade (E) AUN QA JTSL 31 c. A maximum of 25 % grade D of the total credits taken d. Completion of the final project and the comprehensive examination In order for the students to satisfy these requirements, there is a need to monitor students’ progress and provide counseling. The steps taken to facilitate this monitoring process are : a. Making an inventory of the conditions of students who encounter problems in their studies as points of consideration for the academic advisors to deal with the problems b. Sending reminders to students : 1) at the end of the programmed study period 2) in the sixth and half year of the study period 3) in the seventh year of the study period 4) Towards the end of the time limit of the extended study period c. Providing a special treatment to students in their seventh year by asking them to: 1) draw up a plan of activities to be done during the extended period of study and submit it to the Faculty board 2) submit a report on their progress by completing a form provided for the monitoring process 2.5.5 Statement of Achievements at Graduation Students who have successfully completed the undergraduate program are awarded citations according to their GPAs as follows: GPA ≥ 3.51 : with distinction (cum laude) 2.76 ≤ GPA ≤ 3.50 : very satisfactory 2.00 ≤ GPA ≤ 2.75 : satisfactory Note: Cum laude is awarded to students who finish their studies within five years at the latest 2.5.6 Declaration of Candidacy The academic requirements that students must fulfil to be eligible for declaration of candidacy are as follows: 1. Completion of a minimum of 144 credit hours consisting of 128-131 credit hours of compulsory courses and 13-16 credit hours of elective courses with a minimum GPA of 2. AUN QA JTSL 32 2.

Research activities and publications by the faculty members have been encouraging. Researches have been conducted with support from various financial resources such as Competitive Grants, Basic Research, PHKB, and Hi-Link Project. A number of activities funded by PHKB are done under programs entitled Research Grant, International Research Linkage, International Conference, International Publication and Patent, Community Development. Several researches conducted as a collaborative effort between staff and students have resulted in the production of students’ theses. AUN QA JTSL 39 The permanent staff and students have also been engaged in writing journal articles at national and international level within the past five years. (see Appendix) Community Development is carried out jointly by staff and students with the participation of related agencies. In 2006 and 2007 there were 23 activities involving students in the form of thematically-based community service/social action and final projects. The SP-CE also invites guest lecturers from outside institutions. This learning experience is organized in the form of lecture classes, general lectures, or regular seminars. In assessing study progress, students can make a self-evaluation through a Monitoring Graphics. At the start of a semester, a student receives the KHS (grade report card) of the previous semester which is used to determine the study load allowed. Figure 3.2 Monitoring graphic of student’s academic performance AUN QA JTSL 40 3.2 Internal Quality Audit Since 2004 the Faculty of Engineering has implemented a quality assurance system in academic matters-called AMAI done annually. Since 2010 this has been extended to include other matters and it is now called AMI. The purpose of AMAI is to help all the units to achieve the academic targets effectively and responsibly. The audit of the SP-CE aims to: 1. ensure consistency in the elaboration of the curriculum and syllabus covering specifications, objectives, and competencies 2. ensure consistency in planning, implementation, and evaluation of the learning process 3. ensure compliance with the planning, implementation, and evaluation of the learning process in accordance with the Procedural Manual and Work Instructions 4. ensure the availability of resources and facilities to support the learning process 5. address other aspects with regard to the actual condition of a SP-CE The scope of the audit covers the following: 1. Vision, mission, and targets of a SP-CE 2. Student affairs 3. Human resources 4. Curriculum 5. Infrastructure for the teaching-learning process 6. Funding 7. Governance (System and Procedure) 8. Program implementation 9. Learning process 10. Academic atmosphere 11. Information Systems 12. Quality Assurance System 13. Graduates 14. Scientific papers, research, and community service The results of the audit are shown in Tables 3.8 and 3.9 as well as Figures 3.3 and 3.4. In 2008 AMAI incorporated learning according to international criteria, and since AUN QA JTSL 41 2010 the grouping of the items on AMAI of the previous year has been condensed into seven items as shown in Table 3.9. The curriculum enables the realization of the principle of lifelong learning because it provides for the possibility of studying at higher levels, self-development in an employment situation and self-education. Each course of study is provided with a course description and syllabus set forth in the Academic Handbook and the catalog as well as the RPKPS (course outlines and lesson plans) drawn up according to the standards of the AMI and ISO quality assurance system.

Faculty Economics & Business UGM Sri Laksmi Handayani Kapilawastu All employees Bagus Wijaya Student Quality Selection of students is carried out through several pathways: (1) SNMPTN (national selection/nation-wide admissions test), (2) UM UGM (UGM entrance examination), (3) PBS (selection of self-financing candidates), (4) PBOS (selection of candidates with outstanding talents in sports and arts), (5) PBUK (selection of high achievers from partner organizations), (6) PBB (selection of high achievers from schools). With this admissions system, students in the SP-CE come from various regions in Indonesia, which will eventually create a wide network of alumni in the future. With this network and the “old school tie” with the Alma Mater, the sustainability of the SP-CE is better ensured. The selection of candidates is quite stringent. There has been an increasing number of enrollees from year to year. Table 3.12 and Figure 3.5 show the number of enrollees and prospective students accepted in the SP-CE from 2006/2007 to 2010/2011. Since 2009/2010 the SP-CE has increased its student intake, from 140 to 200. The competition in selection scores is so keen that those who rank 150 and 140 are very close in their scores. This is an opportunity for senior high school leavers with high AUN QA JTSL 45 achievement to continue their education at the best universities. The strict selection results in the fact that only 4% the applicants are accepted.

The average number of students under the guidance of the academic advisor is 14 per year. On average there are at least two consultations per student in a semester. For students whose period of study has exceeded the time limit, guidance is generally given by the SP-CE board of management. AUN QA JTSL 46 Assistance is also provided in completing the final project. Students who get stuck with their practical training or final project can get help from the advisor. The SOP for each scheme (A, B, C, and D) is described in the Appendix. The learning process, which includes tutorials and assignments, involves the active role of assistant lecturers. Tutorials, which are conducted in the form of class sessions discussing/reviewing a lecturer’s materials and doing exercises, are scheduled in consultation with the lecturer concerned. In doing their assignments, students are guided by the assistants. Assessment of students’ progress is based on several components: (a) home assignments, (b) periodic quizzes, (c) the mid-semester test, (d) the final examination. In this way, students are encouraged to be constantly well-prepared, thereby fostering an independent study habit. To help graduates obtain employment appropriate to their particular interests, the Faculty of Engineering has a unit to deal with career opportunities, i.e. the Engineering Career Center (ECC), and at university level there is the Career Development Center (CDC). 3.6 3.6.1 Facilities and Infrastructure Buildings The CEED-UGM occupies an area of 14,000 m2 with a floor space of 12,563 m2 divided into eight buildings. Allotment of each building, number of floors and sizes are shown in the Table below, There are also prayer rooms and canteens. The management of all the buildings, parking spaces, yards and parks is shared among the programs. Public facilities are under the management of the Faculty of Engineering.

The Indoor Laboratory includes teaching and research laboratories for thesis (for undergraduate and postgraduate students) and sponsored project research projects. It is equipped with advanced instruments such as atomic absorption spectrometer to measure the concentration of metal in water, rotary vacuum evaporator for concentration, purification or fractional distillation of water sample, and many water treatment installation models. 4. Hydraulics Laboratory Hydraulics Laboratory CEED-UGM was established in 1949, in line with the history of the CEED-UGM establishment. The laboratory has some reputations in conducting research through national and AUN QA JTSL 53 international collaborations. Several of them are considered as the most distinct collaborations, i.e.: Advisory Council Member of IRTCES (International Research and Training Centre on Erosion and Sedimentation), UNESCO-IHP – Djoko Legono, Prof.Ir.Ph.D. Executive Country Committee Member – Asia Pacific Division of International Association of Hydraulic Engineering and Research (APD-IAHR) – Nizam, Prof.Ir.M,Sc.Ph.D. NIPPON KOEI of Japan (Critical Velocity of Cohesive Sediment through Flume Experiment”, 2004) YEC of Japan (Development of Early Warning System against Pyroclastic and Debris Flow Disaster of Mt. Merapi”, 2006). The Disaster Prevention Research Institute of Kyoto University (DPRI-KU) of Japan (Disaster Risk Reduction of Dam Failure through Development of Hydro-Geotechnical Monitoring Technique) Since its establishment, the laboratory has been serving the undergraduate, the hydraulics model test of various water resources projects such as dam spillways, weirs, irrigation regulating structural, diversion channels, etc., in cooperation with both the government and private sectors (Ministry of Public Works, Indonesia Power, etc.). Since 1994, the Hydraulics Laboratory of CEED-UGM has expanded its activities on the coastal-related modelling (shoreline deformation or changes, breakwaters, harbours, etc). The laboratory is also highly concerned with various hydraulics modelling on the sediment and water-related disasters such reservoir sedimentation, tsunami, debris flows, landslides, floods, and dam breaks. The current state of the Information Technology (IT) is also utilized on the research development within the laboratory for the instrumentation system to serve laboratory research, the development of field monitoring and data acquisition system such as Automatic Rainfall Recorder (ARR) and Automatic Water Level Recorder (AWLR). The hydraulics laboratory of CEED-UGM occupies two adjacent locations within the campus; each location has approximately 25m x 50m and 30m x 40m. The constant head tank provided with 3 types of pump (1 x 150 l/sec and 2 x 250 l/sec) has been constructed to facilitate the indoor and outdoor experiments. Beside equipments for conducting the basic hydraulics experiment (such as flow over venture meter, laminar and turbulent flow visualization, flow over broad crested weir flow AUN QA JTSL 54 over sharp crested weir, flow over gates, hydraulics jump visualization, etc.), the laboratory is also equipped with modern instrumentation for measurement and data acquisition. 5.

KAJI The laboratory is a place where each lecturer is based. Each lecturer is affiliated to and is a member of one laboratory. Each lecturer has a work space in the laboratory so that he/she can spend most of his/her time doing research and developing knowledge in the laboratory. The number of lecturers who are affiliated to each laboratory is shown in Table 3.17. Membership of the Computational Laboratory is open and therefore there are no permanent members.

The University has a quality assurance office and the Faculty has a quality assurance cluster. The quality framework used at UGM is as follows: Table 4.1 Conceptual Framework of Quality Assurance at UGM Study Program Level Faculty Level University Level 1.Academic Quality Policies Increasing Level of Assurance Academic Regulations Academic Standards Quality Manual 2. Academic Policies Academic Regulations Academic Standards Academic Quality Guidelines 3. Competencies Study Program Specifications 6. Faculty Institutional Audit 5. Department Audit 4. Self Evaluation Increasing Level of Compliance The horizontal line shows the level of compliance, meaning that the more we go to the right, the more compliant we should be with the University regulations. The vertical line shows the level of assurance, meaning that the more we go to the higher level, the more we can assure the quality of our educational program. The UGM IQA System starts from the University level where the University Academic Senate issues academic policies showing the direction of where the University will achieve in academic issues. These academic policies are the main points of reference for all academic activities. In AUN QA JTSL 60 order to implement the academic policies, the University executives (the Rector and Vice Rector for Academic Affairs) develop academic standards assisted by the quality assurance office, which are then approved by the University Academic Senate. The University executives also develop academic regulations assisted by the quality assurance office. The academic regulations are partly adopted from the national academic regulations from the Directorate General of Higher Education and partly translated from the national academic regulations, and some other parts are formulated by the UGM law bureau. These three documents are the main points of reference for all the faculties within UGM in conducting academic activities. In order to direct the faculties in the implementation of the academic policies, the University executives issue a Quality Manual setting forth the vision, mission, values, strategies, and quality targets. At the Faculty level, the Faculty Senate should translate the UGM academic policies into the Faculty academic policies. Similarly, the Faculty executives should issue academic standards, i.e. a further elaboration of the University academic standards in accordance with the specific situation at the Faculty level. The Faculty executives should also issue academic regulations, i.e. a further addition to the University academic regulations. They issue a Quality Manual at the Faculty level setting forth the Faculty’s vision, mission, values, strategies, and quality targets. At the Program level, each study program must specify its graduates’ competencies and develop an educational program that can guarantee the achievement of competencies. Numbers 1, 2, and 3 on Conceptual Framework can be considered as the standards or main points of reference, and numbers 4, 5, and 6 are ‘checking’ activities. Each study program should conduct a self-evaluation using the ‘self-evaluation form’ developed by the Quality Assurance Office. In addition, each study program is allowed to develop its own evaluation mechanism in line with the characteristics of each study program. The Faculty conducts an Internal Academic Quality Audit (IAQA) regularly every year. How many times the IAQA is conducted depends on the individual faculty’s budget. It can be done once a year, every six months or four months. The University also conducts an Internal Quality Audit to the Faculty every year. The following diagram shows how the Plan-Do-Check-Act cycle is implemented at UGM. The results of evaluation at the program, faculty, and university level should be followed up for improvement. Therefore, at the faculty and university level, a AUN QA JTSL 61 management review meeting is conducted every year to discuss the results of the internal quality audit and use them as the basis for yearly planning and budgeting. The SP-CE conducts an Internal Quality Audit (AMI) and ISO 9001 every year and is nationally accredited by the National Accreditation Board (BAN) every five years. The SP-CE has also won several competitive grant programs such as the QUE project from 1999 to 2004, the PHKB (2005-2007) and WCRU (2009). See Table 4.2. Table 4.2 SP-CE Achievements No Achievements Periods Notes 1 BAN Accreditation 1999-2003 A**** 2 BAN Accreditation 2003-2008 A (Score of 393 out of 400) 3 BAN Accreditation 2008-2013 A (Score of 389 out of 400) 4 QUE Project 1999-2004 5 PHKB 2005-2007 6 WCRU 2009 7 ISO Certificate 9001:2000 2008-2011 Note: BAN = National Accreditation Board QUE = Quality of Undergraduate Education PHKB = Competitive Grant Program type B WCRU = World Class Research University The SP-CE earned a four-star A by BAN, which is its pride and joy shared by the departmental staff and the alumni. It has also received the ISO 9001:2000 certification since 2008 for the standardization of academic services. The quality assurance system in education is implemented according to the AMI and ISO standards, which provide feedback and follow-ups to what has been done. Among the follow-ups are evaluation of the quality of the syllabi and the graduates’ competencies, review of the quality of examination questions, the academic feasibility of final projects and utilization of the quality assurance process for the learning activities, the quality of students’ study progress, and improvement in the SP-CE’s activities. Periodic feedback from lecturers, students, alumni and their employers is obtained and documented. To ensure the quality of the curriculum, a review is carried out every five years, taking into account advances in science and technology, input from stakeholders, and results of benchmarking with domestic and foreign universities and making necessary AUN QA JTSL 62 adjustments to the vision, mission, objectives, and targets of the SP-CE. An ad hoc team is set up for the curriculum review. The syllabi are drawn up by a group of faculty members of the same field of specialization taking into account input from other faculty members and stakeholders. The RPKS are evaluated annually by a team of faculty members under the KBK (groups of specialization) in the CEED-UGM following the guidelines set forth in the Departmental quality assurance system. The mechanism for quality assurance through monitoring, evaluation, and improvement in the learning process every semester is constantly implemented covering students’ and lecturers’ attendance, course materials, and the RPKPS. A meeting to finalize grades and evaluate the learning process is held at the end of every semester. 4.1.2. Transparency of the assessment system Examinations are administered twice a semester, i.e. a mid-semester test in the eighth week and the final examination. However, it is customary to give periodic quizzes and home assignments during the semester so that the final grade is based on the results of all the assessment components. Some lecturers maintain the policy of returning the marked exam papers to students to ensure that they are aware of their performance. If it happens that they are not satisfied with the lecturer’s assessment, they have the right to discuss their case with the lecturer. The final grades for all courses are sent to the Academic Affairs Section to be kept on the master file and the computer. A copy of the list of grades is put up on a notice-board for students. Then the grades are put in a student’s KHS (grade report card) and file. The submission of grades conforms to Rectorial Decision No. 237/P/SK/HT/2004 stipulating that grades must be submitted by the examiner 12 days at the latest after an examination, and the announcement of grades is made two days after submission. If an examiner fails to submit the grades within the prescribed time, he/she will be reminded and asked to submit the grades in three days. If this time limit is not met, a joint marking is organized in three days by the Head of Department or Chairperson of SP-CE, or a substitute test-corrector will be appointed. If all these steps cannot be effected, the student concerned is awarded grade B. If a student is dissatisfied, he/she may file a complaint/formal objection with the proviso that he/she earns grade A for all the other courses in the current semester. AUN QA JTSL 63 4.2 Student Evaluation Students are involved in the evaluation of the learning process. At the start of a course, the lecturer informs students about the aims and objectives of the course, the syllabus, the teaching and assessment methods used which are formalized in writing and produced in a kind of “teaching-learning contract” signed by a student representative and validated by the Head of Department. At the end of the semester, students evaluate their lecturer’s performance through a questionnaire to be completed on the day of the examination. As an example, the results of a recapitulation of the completed questionnaire for the second semester of 2009/2010 academic year, the average of students’ evaluation of their lecturers is 3.66 from a total of 71 lecturers. (See Appendix). The creation of a good academic atmosphere A favourable academic atmosphere is one that encourages interactions between lecturers, between students, and between lecturers and students. The CEED-UGM has endeavoured to create an atmosphere that is conducive to the teaching-learning process. Some of the efforts in this direction are exemplified by the provision of and attention to the following: a. Facilities and resources to create a desirable atmosphere b. Active participation of students in class sessions c. Preventive measures and application of sanctions against students’ indiscipline d. Transparency in the assessment system e. Transparency in the management of research and community service f. Training and guidance g. Availability of facilities for dissemination of research results h. Students’ participation in research and community service i. Students’ participation in the evaluation of the SP-CE’s performance and providing feedback The success of a higher education institution in educating its students is partly attributable to its ability to enliven the academic atmosphere on campus. It is true that this condition has more to do with feelings or moods but one canner ignore the important role of hardware in helping to create atmosphere. Therefore, the CEED-UGM has undertaken to make the campus situation a favourable place to work in. All of the staff are comfortably based in the laboratory. Each is provided with a workspace measuring 3 AUN QA JTSL 64 x 4 m2 complete with a telephone, AC and LAN. The laboratory equipment contributes to motivating the faculty members to carry out research and community service. Almost every year each laboratory receives competitive research funding. (see Appendix) Similarly, there have been a great deal of community service activities carried out jointly by lecturers and students, along with projects and collaboration with various institutions. In order to support the teaching-learning process, the Department provides a Reference Room that uses an on-line borrowing system. It has a reading room and a number of computers. In addition, students are welcome to the reference room in each laboratory as well as to the libraries on UGM campus. For students engaged in group work, there are other spaces available such as a discussion room, a gazebo, and an outdoor square. There are seven laboratories which students can use for research related to their Final Projects or for participation in various national contests organized by universities or industries such as the Indo Cement Award and Holcim. Active participation of students in the learning process is encouraged by reducing class size. This is done by arranging parallel classes. For the 2009/2010 academic year, the SP-CE had an enrollment of 200 new students so that classes are conducted in three halls for parallel classes. Lecture rooms are provided with LAN and equipped with audiovisual teaching equipment. Assignments or tasks can be sent by email to lecturers. In 2008 the Civil Engineering Study Program adopted the ISO 9001:2000 with regard to the Quality Management System. Procedures have been drawn up to ensure the criteria of successful performance: 1. Control of documents 2. Control of records 3. Internal Academic Quality Audit (AMAI) 4. Control of academic services 5. Corrective measures 6. Preventive measures 7. Measurement of Customer Satisfaction and Tracer Study 8. Review of quality management 9. Admission of new students 10. Re-registration of students 11. Completing the study load card (KRS) 12. Producing Course Outlines and Lesson Plans AUN QA JTSL 65 13. Teaching-learning process 14. Implementation of practicums 15. Implementation of major assignments 16.

Provision of final transcript All the procedures above have been prepared so that students are aware of each process that will be gone through. In this way, any constraints can be traced and it is easy to discover who is responsible. These procedures are set forth in the Academic Handbook. The management of the teaching-learning process in the SP-CE conforms to the rules and regulations issued by UGM, the Faculty of Engineering and the CEED-UGM and they are contained in the Academic Handbook distributed to all faculty members and students. Examinations are administered twice a semester. Below are the regulations that students must comply with: 1. Students must carry the Student Card and a valid Exam Card. Loss of these cards should be reported to the Department one day before examination. 2. Students are not allowed to enter the examination room before they are asked to do so by the proctors. 3. They must sit on chairs assigned for them, and all briefcases, handbags, lecture notes must be put aside (applicable to a closed-book exam) 4. Late comers are basically not permitted to sit an exam except in cases beyond a student’s control. 5. It is not allowed to borrow stationery from their neighbours. 6. All means of communication such as mobile phones must be silenced. AUN QA JTSL 66 7. Students must fill in the attendance sheet. This applies even to students who decide to withdraw before attempting the questions. 8. Students may leave the room 30 minutes after the exam starts. 9. The answer sheet must be filled in with name, student number, course title, and date before doing the questions. 10. The answer sheet is submitted to the proctor/supervisor. 11. When the exam is over, students should leave the room quietly. 12. Students should be neatly dressed and wear shoes. 13. If students are found to be guilty of misconduct (such as cheating), the following rules apply: They are disqualified and declared to have failed in a particular course. Students who have committed misconduct twice or more during one exam period are disqualified and the results of all the examinations become invalid. There have been many requests for research and community service from institutions to the faculty members of the SP-CE. These requests are informed to faculty members through email, by letter or in a departmental meeting. Interested individuals will then submit their research proposals to the offering institutions. In order to improve students’ competencies, the SP-CE organizes periodic training courses. These activities are done by lecturers and assistants under coordination by the board of management or the Students’ Association (KMTS).

The formulation of this curriculum has involved soliciting input/feedback from stakeholders (the departmental board of management, lecturers, employees, students, alumni, employers, and the public/association) with the purpose of producing a curriculum that truly satisfies societal requirements. For this purpose, workshops were conducted to obtain feedback from all stakeholders. The SP-CE continues to develop activities related to education, research, and community service. One program in education and collaboration that has been internationally acknowledged is a lecture management system (LMS) referred to as eLisa (eLearning System for Academic Communities). The aim is to speed up progress in education not only within the University but throughout Indonesia. At the invitation of HP Technology for Teaching Grant Initiative for International Higher Education, UGM made a proposal and was awarded a grant of USD 75,000 comprising USD 55,000 for equipment and USD 20,000 for education. With this grant, UGM will introduce innovations in the Numeric Method course in the SP-CE. It is expected that this innovative approach will be adopted in all the other courses as well. In fact, anyone in AUN QA JTSL 73 the country who strongly desire to accelerate their learning process and study progress can gain access to this innovation through http://elisa.ugm.ac.id. 4.4. International Collaboration The CEED-UGM has established collaborative arrangements in education, research, and community development. Collaboration in education is described below. 1. Undergraduate education with EXISTENTE Program This is a partial scholarship program organized by the Dutch government. CEEDUGM students who have earned 120 cred.hrs can continue their studies at a university in the Netherlands. Upon completion, they are awarded an undergraduate degree by the university in the Netherlands and by UGM. This can be considered as a twinning program. In 2006-2007 two students undertook this program at Hogeschool Utrecht. Actually, five students had been accepted but three students withdrew because of difficulty in covering the cost of living. In the 2007-2008 academic year, the collaboration was extended by the involvement of two more universities, i.e. Saxion University of Applied Sciences (Deventer) and Hanze (University of Applied Sciences (Groningen). There are at present seven students doing courses under the EXISTENTE program. 2. Undergraduate education in other foreign universities In the 2006-2007 academic year, one student obtained a scholarship to study at NUS, Singapore. In addition, collaborative arrangements have been made with other universities, i.e. Kyoto University, University of Malaya, Nanyang Technological University, Osaka University, and Chulalongkorn University. 3. Postgraduate education with foreign universities and institutions Beginning in 2007, the CEED-UGM has collaborated with the Asian Institute of Technology Thailand, and in 2001-2005 a postgraduate program in integrated sedimentrelated disaster management was carried out in collaboration with JICA. Collaboration with international institutions in research and community service have been implemented by CEED-UGM. 4. Collaboration to handle the May 2006 earthquake in Yogyakarta In the wake of the earthquake, the CEED-UGM set up a unit of task force/technical service post (Posyanis). It served as a center for coordinating aid from national tertiary institutions (UI, ITB, ITS, UNDIP, USAKTI, UNPAR, UAJY, UII, PETRA, STTNAS) and international ones (Kobe, Taiwan, Karlsruhe and Monash). 5. Collaboration for post-earthquake reconstruction AUN QA JTSL 74 At the beginning, the Posyanis focused on assessment of houses, schools, and other buildings to ensure their safety. In its development Posyanis gave technical support and assistance in reconstruction. Lecturers and senior students were involved in training, counseling, consultation, and supervision of the construction of earthquakeresistant buildings. A donor institution, JICA, supported the program and in July 2006 Posyanis activities were developed in more locations (Trimulyo-Jetis, Kasongan, and Kotagede). With the support from the University of Karlsruhe (Germany), three new Posyanis were developed to cover a wider area. Within six months, the Posyanis offered its services and conducted two international seminars and a great number of national seminars and workshops to discuss various technical and legal aspects in connection with the construction of earthquake-resistant houses. With JICA’s support, the Posyanis was designated as a Subdistrict Posyanis in 17 subdistricts in Bantul Regency. The reconstruction effort has continued to exist and is now well under way in collaboration with international institutions such as IFRS, JICA, IOM, UNDP, USAID, AUSAID, GTZ, IBRI, Exxon, and Total Indonesie. The total fund for community development and research under this reconstruction program amounts to Rp 5 bilion. 6. International seminars In 2006 and 2007, CEED-UGM was actively engaged in organizing international seminars such as Earthquake Engineering and Retrofitting (July 2006), Non-engineering Buildings (November 2006), Bamboo Summit (January 2007), and Sustainable Development (February 2007). 7. Visiting Scholars The CEED-UGM often invites many scholars from foreign universities. In 2006, it was visited by over ten scholars to deliver a series of lectures and to make initial arrangements for collaboration in education and research. 8. CKNet-INA (Collaborative Knowledge Network Indonesia) This is a collaboration between ten universities in Indonesia and NUFFICS and IHE (Institute of Hydraulic Engineering, Netherlands) in Water Resources and Irrigation Management Capacity Building Network Project. The main activities and products of CKNet-INA are training and education, joint research, integral consultation services, and the facilitation of knowledge and information center. 9. Collaboration with UNICEF in the form of collaboration to investigate the conditions of school buildings in areas struck by the May 2006 earthquake. The SP-CE has been entrusted with assessment of buildings to ensure their safety. AUN QA JTSL 75 10. Collaboration with CAI-Asia in the form of research to improve the water supply infrastructure in areas struck by the May 2006 earthquake in Yogyakarta and its environs. 11. Collaboration with Total E & P Indonesie in the form of research collaboration to identify the safety of platforms for an extended period. 12. Collaboration with Total Indonesia in the form of research and house construction, regional revitalization, and the function of a sentry post/guardhouse as a regional information center. 13. Intensive Collaboration covering many aspects with JICA The research and collaboration started from data collection of damaged buildings, regional reconstruction and community revitalization, campaigning to promote construction of earthquake-resistant houses to drawing up an administrative system for obtaining planning permission to conform with the requirements for earthquake-resistant buildings. 14. Collaboration with Universitat Karlsruhe, Germany in the form of students’ involvement in the earthquake-resistant system for buildings. 15. Collaboration with Exxon MobilOil, searching for solution to the problem of water pipe installation. 16. Collaboration with the Building Research Institute, Japan in the form of research on the behaviour of building walls towards earthquake forces. 17. Collaboration with Kyushu University, in the form of research collaboration with a number of faculty members. 18. Collaboration with Hogeschool Utrecht, University of Applied Technology, Netherlands in the form of sending senior students to obtain assistance in supervision and research from research partners. 19. Collaboration with Hanze University, Groningen, Netherlands in the form of sending senior students to obtain assistance in supervision and research from a research partner. 20. Collaboration with Saxion University of Applied Sciences, Netherlands, collaboration with Kobe University Graduate School of Engineering, collaboration with National University of Singapore in the form of sending senior students to obtain assistance in supervision and research from researchers at these universities. AUN QA JTSL 76 4.4 Staff Development Activities Efforts to develop a study program include education at higher levels, participation in national and international seminars. Table 3.2 shows a list of lecturers studying for higher degrees. 4.5 Feedback from Stakeholders Every year the SP-CE conducts meetings with stakeholders to discuss the latest issues in civil engineering and to exchange opinions about graduates. Every five years the SP-CE carries out an evaluation and revision of the curriculum by involving students, alumni and other stakeholders. A special team is set up to conduct workshops and discussions. There are two ways to monitor students’ progress: A card control presenting a graph that indicates a student’s progress and the critical points that a student must avoid Online data of students that can be accessed by the departmental board through akd-tsipil.ugm.ac.id The SP-CE uses the AMI report to announce the number of graduates and drop- outs. Every five years, the same information can be found from a report from the National Accreditation Board. A tracer study of alumni provides data on the organizations or institutions that employ the SP-CE alumni and the advantages and disadvantages of the current curriculum, which help the process of revision. The SP-CE has been able to use the two grants it received from the awards it won, i.e. the QUE project and the PHK-B to accelerate the achievement of the target of upgrading the quality of its students. The PHK-B grant has contributed to the provision of funds covering laboratory equipment, textbooks and journals, conferences, international publications and patents, research grants, joint products, teaching grants, international research linkage, curriculum 3+1, and mini-workshops. The SP-CE also supports and develops research related to new technology and the obtainment of patents, which can be used for public service and commercial purposes. AUN QA JTSL 77 CHAPTER V OUTPUT The target set by the SP-CE with regard to graduation is that students are expected to complete their studies in 4,9 years with a GPA of 3,22. The SP-CE’s graduates are known by the general public and the industrial world as having good reputation and competitive competencies which enhance their employment opportunities soon after graduation. Another advantage that the SP-CE has is a strong alumni association with relatively large membership holding strategic positions in the labour market. The association is well organized and the members are bound together by a loyalty and strong attachment to their Alma Mater. This fact is a valuable asset that has the potential for their role as a reliable “consultative group”. This feedback and contribution will be significant for the future development of the SP-CE. In order to support and promote fruitful cooperation with the alumni, a Memorandum of Understanding has been made between the YATSIGAMA (Civil Engineering Alumni Foundation) and the SP-CE. The M.O.U. is concerned with cooperation in education and human resource development. It paves the way for a tracer study of alumni and the resultant mutual benefits that both parties will reap. The award of rolling scholarships is one of the Foundation’s contributions now under way and has continued to exist. Its publication of the Proaktif magazine serves as an instrument of a promotion for graduates. The alumni have also contributed to curriculum revision by providing their input at a number of workshops. Table 5.1 and Figure 5.1 shows a list of the graduates’ GPAs which have increased from year to year.

Completion of 144 credit hours with a minimum GPA of 2,00; b. No failing grade (E); c. A total of grade D: 25% of the credit hours taken; d. Completion of the Final Project and comprehensive examination To help students satisfy the requirements, the measures taken are as follows: a. Making an inventory of students’ conditions with regard to the problems they encounter in their studies as points of consideration for the academic advisor in offering guidance. b. Sending a reminder to students: 1) towards the end of the programmed study period 2) in the sixth and half year of the study period 3) in the seventh year of the study period 4) towards the end of the extended study period AUN QA JTSL 80 c. Giving special treatment of students after seven years of study: 1) Students are asked to draw up a plan of activities during the extended period as a point of consideration for the faculty board. 2) Students report on their study progress by completing a monitoring form provided.

Table 5.3 Profile of SP-CE graduates 2007-2010 Academic year Total of Graduates Length of Study (Year) GPA>3 Average GPA Length of Final Project (Month) 2007 145 4.94 115 3.22 6.9 2008 111 4.83 91 3.21 6.7 2009 91 4.83 81 3.25 7.5 2010 40 5.12 30 3.18 7.2 Average 97 4.93 79 3.22 7.08 The targeted period of time for completion is ≤ 5 years. The Table above shows that the average period is 4.93. Efforts to shorten the study period and motivate students to finish their studies earlier are as follows: AUN QA JTSL 81 Flexibility in the supervision of the Final Project in the sense that a student is allowed to designate his/her own supervisors. Besides, the number of supervisors should be limited for the sake of efficiency. (Only one supervisor is recommended) Continuous monitoring of the process of doing the Final Project. 5.4 Employability The targeted waiting period before getting a job after graduation is less than or equal to 2.5 months. From a tracer study conducted in 2008, it was found that the average waiting period is one month. However, the result of the tracer study has not covered all graduates so that we still cannot get a percentage of graduates who find employment in less than or equal to six months. This also applies to the percentage of graduates who still do not find employment two years after graduation. AUN QA JTSL 82 CHAPTER VI Stakeholder Satisfaction 6.1 Opinion – Student Students are well informed about the curriculum and the courses in the SP-CE. With regard to the RPKPS (course outlines and lesson plans), a student representative is directly involved in the approval of the RPKPS offered by the lecturer who teaches a particular course. There is an annual evaluation of the RPKPS by both lecturer and student representative. In line with the ISO requirements, the SP-CE board adopts the policy of responding positively to students’ complaints about any matter concerning the conduct of the educational program and academic activities. Inputs from students are obtained, among other things, from questionnaires at the end of a semester, which contain students’ evaluation of their lecturer’s performance. The results of the evaluation are recapitulated and given to the lecturers for a follow-up response or action. 6.2 Opinion – Alumni The SP-CE regularly makes an evaluation and revision of the curriculum, which involves the alumni through a questionnaire, soliciting their opinion and feedback, particularly on various aspects related to the advantages and disadvantages of the curriculum in their employment situations as well as the latest issues in the labour market. From the distribution of alumni in the labour market, it is found that the SP-CE alumni are employed according to the competencies they have. The result of tracer study shows that the curriculum is directly practicable in the labour market, and it suits market demand. 6.3 Opinion – Labour market In order to get feedback from the labour market, the SP-CE sends questionnaires to the alumni’s employers. One specific complaint from the alumni, however, is that they lack self-confidence when they first enter the labour market, but this does not last very AUN QA JTSL 83 long. In the course of time and with more experience they gain their confidence, especially because they find that they have greater competencies in comparison with the alumni of other universities. In response to the issues in the labour market, the SP-CE encourages students to build their self-confidence and gain more experience in civil engineering by supporting students’ activities and their participation in various contests. 6.4 Opinion – Society The society at large has a high appreciation of the SP-CE graduates because of their outstanding competencies as a result of a well-devised curriculum. This is evidenced by the accreditation status of the SP-CE with a grade of A or a score of above 95 %. AUN QA JTSL 84 CHAPTER VII Summary of SWOT Analysis AND QUALITY PLAN 7.1. SWOT Analysis 1.
