Course and Program Evaluation

The curriculum for every program in ITB is reviewed every five years. The last revision was done in 2008, where the 2003 curriculum was revised into the 2008 curriculum.

During the five-year period, minor changes to the course contents can be made on a semester-by-semester basis. In OE program, the faculties revised the curriculum following the guidelines from ITB and the Program Educational Objectives. Inputs were taken from IAB, professionals from ocean engineering industry, students, and alumni. In 2008, the curriculum was also revised to conform ABET Program Criteria suggested for Ocean Engineering program. OE Program regularly collects and analyzes a variety of data: 1. Faculty Course Assesment Each faculty has their Course Assessment to maintain records on the success of the students in their individual courses, identified problems, action of improvement. Lack of adequate background for the course, and difficulties in handling examination problems are reported in their Course Assessment. The course assessment process includes the following information: (1) Standard ABET course description sheet (basic course information, equivalent to an extended syllabus.) (2) A summary of course enrollment and grade statistics (number of students, and final grade distribution, average, and standard deviation) (3) Summary of specific course objectives. (4) Short summary of assessment plan. This includes one or more assessment problems/projects to be given and evaluated each time the course is offered. The plan clearly documents the relationship between the material offered in the course and how it meets the specific outcomes that it is required to address. (5) Assessment of results. This section summarizes how each outcome is met. (6) Discussion of assessment results and conclusions. (7) Plans for improving outcomes.

2. Student Evaluation Questionaire.

OE program administers Student Evaluation (SE) Questionaire for each course at the conclusion of the course. The SE includes 11 standard questions and evaluations: o o Lecturer mastering on material How to communicate and convey course material

o o o o o o o o o

The SE Score range from 1 to 4. The head of OE Program evaluate the score of SE for each course they teach in the program. Faculty in the program can also obtain this student feedback from academic website of Institut Teknologi Bandung. 3. Alumni Survey OE Program conducts Alumni Survey every two years. The Alumni Survey is intended for self-evaluation level success of our program in meeting the

program objectives and outcomes.

4. Exit Survey OE Program conducts Exit Survey soon after each student finishing their study. Exit Survey was intended to obtain their input on how well the program has prepared them. This input is required to obtain their views on the assessment of strengths and weaknesses in the OE Program and our program in meeting the

program objectives and outcomes.

5. Graduation Data OE Program evaluates the OE Graduation data. Their GPA and length of study data provide the head of OE Program to identify the problem and take action of improvement. 6. General Lecture Series OE Students Association organizes annually General Lecture Ocean Engineering Series in ITB. Alumni, industry, and government are invited to give a lecture to share their experience and knowledge related to ocean engineering. Some

invited speaker offer research topic for students final project. Head of OE Program evaluate the report of this event and discuss it in OE Faculty meeting. 7. Indonesia Ocean Expo (IOE) OE Program and Students Association organize Indonesia Ocean Expo (IOE) every two year in ITB. The IOE was sponsored by industry, FCEE, and government. This event provided ocean related companies to display and promote their product. The seminar featured panel presentation and discussion by ocean industry expert, academic, and government. Throughout the expo, there was opportunity for student to introduce themselves to industry and obtain the latest information in the ocean technology and ocean resources management. 8. Seminar, International Guest Lecture, and Workshop Ocean Engineering Seminar, International Guest Lecture, and Workshop Series provide OE Students to broden their knowledge from expert experience, and upto-date issue in ocean engineering. 9. Faculties and Alumni Interaction Individual faculty members and the head of OE Program had frequent informal contacts with some of our former students to share their experience and give suggestion to improve OE Program. 10. Industrial Advisory Board (IAB) Input IAB recommendation is an important input to improve our program. Through this process, the OE Program obtained input from all the key constituencies of the program (Faculty, Students, Alumni, and Industry). The OE Program faculty meets at the end of the semester to discuss the students performance data and feedback. Relying on feedback received from its various constituencies the OE faculty would discuss each course in detail and their relationship and interaction with other courses in Ocean Engineering and in the curriculum.

2 BS Degree Requirements The Undergraduate student requires fulfilling at least 144 credits that should be finished within 8 semesters with GPA of 2.0 or higher. The students must complete all the requirements in maximum 6 years from their admission year. Thirty six out of the 144 credits are taken in the first year as compulsory courses during 1st year or the Common Preparatory Level with GPA of 2.0 or higher, and must be completed in maximum 2

years. Students who cannot meet these requirements, or have very low GPA (less than 1.0) in their first year, will not be allowed to continue their study at ITB. The total of 72 credits of Ocean Engineering Programs Compulsory Courses including 2 credits of Practical Training and 4 credits of Final Project, and the total of 10 credits of Ethics and Religion, Pancasila, management and environment related classes are required. The remaining credits must be taken as elective courses, where 9 of 26 credits have to be taken from outside of Ocean Engineering program. Upon completion of the degree, the students must pass a written comprehensive exam prior to submission of a final project in a form of standard scientific report and an oral examination.

2.1

Ocean Engineering BS Curriculum

In order to satisfy the requirements for the BS degree in Ocean Engineering all students must complete the following programs as outlined in the Curriculum Sheets depending on class year. Check Sheets are also provided. Descriptions of each course are provided in the University Undergraduate Catalog. These are available at http://www.ocean.itb.ac.id/en/?page_id=132 In ITB, the new students enter their first year into the faculty/school and then choose their program after finishing the first year. The freshmen from the Faculty of Civil and Environmental Engineering (FCEE) can enter the Civil Engineering, Environmental Engineering, or Ocean Engineering programs. In their first year, the FCEE students are provided with calculus, chemistry, physics, and engineering fundamental courses including computer skills development. The students are introduced to the infrastructure engineering and its sub-disciplines in Introduction to Infrastructure Engineering (KU 1286) course. When the students enter the OE program in their second year, the courses continue to build on the foundation established in the first year with additional courses in mathematics including ordinary and partial differential equations (KL2101 and KL2201), statistics and probability, engineering economics, technical drawing, engineering mechanics and mechanics of materials. OE students are also exposed to the physical oceanography (KL 2106) and introduced to ocean engineering data acquisition and analysis (KL 2206) during this year. Four credits of general education courses required for all higher education institutions in Indonesia are also served.

The last two years of the curriculum are more focused to prepare the students to the core of Ocean Engineering works. While continuing on applied mathematics for ocean engineering in hydrodynamics (KL 3101) and random wave (KL 3103) courses, the third year students are introduced to ocean and coastal laboratory and field work. The students are also exposed to courses in structures (KL3102 Matrix Analysis of Structures and KL3201 Structural Dynamics), marine geotechnics (KL3105), underwater acoustics (KL 3202), and coastal processes (KL 3211). Two listed fourth year courses, KL4101 Ocean Construction Management and KL4201 Ocean Environmental Control, are usually taken ahead by the third year students. The practical training (KL4098) is listed on the first semester of the fourth year. The course requires the students to join ocean engineering industry projects for at least one month, write a report, and present it orally at the end of the semester. Other courses in the fourth year provide the students with the ability to design ocean engineering infrastructures, i.e. coastal structures, offshore structures I (fixed structures) and II (pipelines), port infrastructure planning, and port and harbor structural design. At the end of these courses, the students, working as groups, are required to perform and present specific design projects assigned by the instructors. To finish their study in OE, the students must take four credits of final project (KL 4099), where they individually work on contemporary problems or issues in ocean engineering. The remaining courses (total 26 credits) in the curriculum are electives. ITB requires every student to take at least 9 credits of the electives outside their program to broaden their knowledge. On the other hand, OE program also requires at least 8 credits of the electives are professional electives within the program.

Fast Track Program

The Opportunities for students to pursue higher education in ITB is open wide. Student with a minimum GPA of 3.0 can follow the fast track programin which is can take maximum of 12 (twelve) credits at Master Courses of Ocean Engineering during their undergraduates (in semesters 7 and 8). The Students who follow fast track program required have 3.5 minimum GPA at master program course. With this scheme the students could earn their master degree in one year after completing their bachelor.

2.4

Transfer Credit Overseas transfer students should have studied in their origin university for at least 4 semesters and studied in a similar program with the one in ITB. For Indonesian students, ITB only accepts transfer students from Indonesian universities which have prior agreement with ITB. Prospective students must be proposed by the Rector of their origin university to the Rector of ITB. The intended program must be similar with the original program.

2.5

Deanlist Award and Ganesha Prize Award FCEE establish Dean's list award for exelent students in Programs under FCEE (Ocean Engineering, Civil Engineering and Environment Engineering). Students with the highest GPA award are entitled to a Dean's list. Technesse Hogeschol (TH) foundation, former institution of ITB in colonial era, has established the Ganesha Prize award for the excellent students in ITB. The nominee not only required has excellent records in academic field, but also in their organizational and social skill. The tradition of Ganesha Prize award is continued until now. Ganesha student prize nominee should be nominated by each faculty/school with a rigorous selection

2.6

Grade Student performance is evaluated based on their performance in class, practical training, and final project. Each OE faculty has different method on evaluating the student performance in each course depend on the courses requirement. At the same time, the evaluation methods must meet the ITB criteria. Letter grades and associated quality points assigned are as follows: A AB B BC C D E 3 (4.0) (3.5) (3.0) (2.5) (2.0) (1.0) (0.0) Very Good Between Good And Very Good Good Between Fair and Good Fair Unsatisfactory Fail

Student Support Services Ocean Engineering Academic Advisors

3.1

All students who enter ITB as freshmen are initially assigned to the Faculty/School. For those freshmen, FCEE assigns faculty members under FCEE to serve as an academic advisor to these students. Typically 20 freshmen are advised by one faculty member on a yearly rotating basis.

After successfully completing a minimum of 36 credits of engineering, science, and mathematics (first year) course work, students who wish to choose OE program will be admitted to OE program after deans approval. All FCEE students who have selected the OE program will be assigned an academic advisor. Typically one faculty member will advise 10 students. The academic advisor will advise 2nd, 3rd, 4th year students. These faculty members serve in this capacity until the students graduate from the program, i.e., they follow the students throughout the program. The academic advisor also has full online access to their advisees electronic records through web data base http://ol.akademik.itb.ac.id/. Students have access to detailed program information, specifically through OE program web site at http://www.ocean.itb.ac.id/. The Head of OE program has online access to all OE student records and registration information for all courses, but every academic advisor has online access only to his student records and registration information. The academic advisor maintains a file on each advisee, which contains a "master check sheet" of the students curriculum and records. Before registering for each semester, the students proposed courses list has to be approved by the academic advisor. At the end of semester, head of OE program sends early warning letters to each student who has low performance (low GPA). The Deans office also provides advising and counseling on particularly complex or contentious matters.

3.2

Announcements and notifications The program maintains seven bulletin boards in the OE program hall to provide information to our students: undergraduate, graduate, job and internship opportunities, and faculty publications. All relevant hard copy material the program receives is posted to these bulletin boards. All material the department receives in electronic form is immediately forwarded to students via the list server or posted to the program web site, and the administration staff also print the information to be posted in bulletin board. For particular courses, assignment material and lecture note is forwarded to the enrolled students by the lecturer or submitted in faculty personal page on ITB server with http protocol or ftp protocol.

As part of its routine operation the department uses the server lists to provide students with up to date information. This might include a change in a class/laboratory/field schedule, notification of material available for pickup (reading material, homework, examination, lab report), or announcement of events. Student inquiries can be made to the program administration staff directly on the office hour.

3.3

Teaching Assistants The lecturer of each course have their teaching assistants in each academic year. Some of assistantships could give response or tutorial for students who need assistanship by request to the course lecturer. For laboratory classes, OE have several assistance and technician which responsible for setting up and putting away equipment for each laboratory and for overseeing the distribution of data collected during the laboratory.

3.4

Computing Facilities The OE program has its own Computing Facility and associated local computer network. This facility is used to support both education and research programs. The OE computer network is fully integrated into the university network with a high speed link to the ITBs center server. Two wireless facilities were installed within the program. Students are exposed to the latest state-of-the-art engineering software (Offshore Structure Design, Buoy Engineering, Structural Design, 3D Ocean Hydrodynamics, Wave Transformation, 3D Water Quality, 3D Sediment Transport, and Geotechnic). The OE Program operates Windows Systems and a network of Pentium Dual Core based PCs. Computer facilities accessible to undergraduate students include: 31 units of customized PC with Pentium Dual Core processor (16 units for undergraduate program, 9 units for final year undergraduate students working on his/her final project, and 6 units for graduate program), 2 unit customized server, with high end Pentium IV Dual Core. 2 unit Hewlett Packard Laserjet 1000SP laser printer 1 units CANON Deskjet IP1880 color inkjet printer. 2 units Canon Scanner

OE students who are working on their Final Project also have special access to computational facilities in special Computer Room dedicated only for them.

A number of software packages are available to the students for coursework and thesis research. These include: Visual Fortran Visual Studio Student Version Matlab Microsoft Office MicroSAS Orcaflex SACS MoTuM (3D Ocean Hydrodynamics and Oil Spill Model) MuSed3D (3D Ocean Hydrodynamics and Sediment Transport Model) MuQual3D (3D Ocean Hydrodynamics and Water Quality Model) SFlow (Unsteady Intersection Channel Flow Model) SRD (Refraction and Diffraction Model) ARCView SMS Ref/Dif EcomSed SWAN FVCOM

Students are also given access to the finite element package ANSYS and SAP2000, which is maintained by the Mechanical Engineering and Civil Engineering Program.

3.5

Conflict Resolution Inevitably problems will arise in the course of your degree program at the University. These may be personal or academic or some combination of the two. These can typically be resolved quickly and simply at the instructor or program levels or by reference to another office at the ITB. The program, as the rest of the Faculties/Schools, subscribe to a conflict resolution strategy that is informal and begins at the level closest to where the problem originates and proceeds to more formal and higher administrative levels when lower levels are unable to resolve the dispute. When in doubt talk first with your advisor, and the head of the Program. If they are unable to resolve the problem

they will refer you to the appropriate office in the ITB. ITB have guide and counseling agency under Lembaga Kemahasiswaan (LK) to help the students. 4 Student Society Each program in ITB has only one acknowledged student society, In OE program the undergraduate student society is Keluarga Mahasiswa Teknik Kelautan ITB abbreviated as KMKL ITB, literally translate in English as Ocean Engineering Student Family is independent student union/society.
