Program Outcomes (POs):

Architecture Graduates will be able to:

  1. Architectural Knowledge: Acquire a wide range of professional architectural knowledge which will help them to practice as an architect. Students will be equipped with gaining knowledge of architecture as well as allied fields like environmental science, landscaping, sustainability, urban design, photography, and architectural writing which can be further enhanced by doing specialization.
  2. Problem Solving: Through education, we emphasize the power of discovery and the foundation of critical and analytic thinking. We foster creativity, challenge the boundaries of knowledge, and cultivate independence of mind through unique interdisciplinary partnerships. Ours is a proud culture of innovation, collaboration, and discovery that has a transformational impact on society.
  3. Design development:   Systematic exploration of architectural design through sequential development.  Systematically integration of all other allied subjects at different levels depending upon the objectives to be achieved. Identify, and formulate, precedent studies in the form of case studies, and literature studies for analysis and inferences to reach conceptualization for a particular design project. Considerations of climatic studies, sustainability, environmental issues, structural detailing, by-laws, and norms, etc to develop a design solution. Holistic development of students in terms of Architectural design, required skills (communication skills, presentation skills, model-making skills), and professional capabilities and discipline.
  4. Conduct Investigations: Integrate education, research, and service so that each enriches and extends the others. This integration promotes academic excellence and nurtures innovation and scholarly development in our students. We are committed to overall academic excellence through the exploration of diverse contexts and innovations through collaborative research. Respect for cultural and social diversities is linked to academic excellence. We hold ourselves to the highest standards of ethics, as a beacon for our community and the world.
  5. Use of Modern Tool: Application of appropriate techniques, resources, and modern tools including prediction and modelling to derive solutions, Use of various presentation techniques to explain the solutions.
  6. Socially responsible architects: SOA, DTC advances knowledge,  addresses pressing societal needs, and creates an academic environment enriched through diverse perspectives where all individuals can flourish. We seek to serve society through our students by educating and passing on to students a renewable set of skills and commitment to social engagement being an architect.
  7. Environment and Sustainability: Making students sensitive towards varied aspects of Built Environment. Understand impact of the professional architectural design solutions in societal and environmental contexts and demonstrate the knowledge of, and need for sustainable development.
  8. Ethics: Apply ethical principles and commit to professional ethics and responsibilities and norms of the architectural professional practice.
  9. Individual and Teamwork: Function effectively as an individual and as a member or leader in diverse teams and in multidisciplinary settings.
  10. Communication: Communicate effectively on architectural issues with the architectural fraternity, community, and society at large, able to write effective reports, design documentation, make effective presentations, and give and receive instructions.
  11. Project management and Finance: Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of architectural design management principles and apply these in individual work, as a member and leader in a team, to manage projects and in a multidisciplinary environment.
  12. Life-long learning: Recognize the need for, and have the preparation and ability to engage in independent and life-long learning in the broadest context of technological change.

PROGRAM SPECIFIC OUTCOMES (PSO):

PSO 1 – Identify, analyze, design, and develop solutions to Architectural design problems of practical importance to society.
PSO 2 – Our graduates will have incremental skills to enhance employability in Architecture and other allied professions.
PSO 3 – Demonstrate practices learned through internship and solve the problem using technical know-how acquired and research.

PROGRAM EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES (PEOS):

  • To establish a foundation for lifelong learning.
  • To apply current educational theories that see learning as a process wherein the learner constructs or builds new concepts, focusing on learner-centric education vs. teacher-centric education.
  • To empower learning by doing. The Design Studio is considered both a course and a place of study at the heart of an academic environment fostering design thinking that is simultaneously analytical and creative.
  • Students shall be able to appraise the physical problems, technologies, and functions of the building required for different functions and their response to climate.
  • Students shall be able to understand and apply the sensitivities towards energy conservation and sustainability.
  • Students shall be able to create innovative designs through the understanding of aesthetics as well as technical know-how and understand the relationship between the built forms and the environment.
  • Students shall be able to understand the role of an architect in society.
  • Ultimately, to produce graduates capable of critically synthesizing architecture, engineering systems, social sciences, and entrepreneurial skills to be future leaders in the field.
