The Agricultural Engineering Study Program applies a curriculum that can be taken generally for 8 semesters or a maximum of 7 semesters with a credit load of 144 credits, consisting of compulsory (W), mandatory laboratory (L), and elective (P) courses. Required laboratory courses determine each student’s laboratory choice, and this course can be an optional course for other laboratory students. The distribution of classes in each semester is listed in the following figure:
The Agricultural Engineering Study Program courses refer to the current curriculum. The list of these courses is presented in the tables below:
Description:
* English has a weight of 0 credits provided that students submit a TOEFL certificate with a minimum score of 450, which is offered a maximum in semester 5. W = Compulsory Course L = Laboratory Course P = Elective Course
IMPLEMENTATION OF THE MBKM PROGRAM IN THE AGRICULTURAL ENGINEERING STUDY PROGRAM
Following the Ministry of Education and Culture Regulation Number 3 of 2020 regarding implementing the Independent Learning Campus Program (MBKM), the Agricultural Engineering Study Program is also committed to providing students with the right to study outside the study program. As explained in the Ministry of Education and Culture Number 3 of 2020 Article 18, learning process activities outside the study program that students can take include internships or work practices, projects in villages, student exchanges, research, entrepreneurship, independent studies, humanitarian projects, and teaching in schools.
In practice, students of the University Agricultural Engineering Study Program can voluntarily study outside the study program at Unpad for 1 (one) semester or equivalent to 20 (twenty) credits; and a maximum of 2 (two) semesters or equal to 40 (forty) credits of studying in the same study program outside Unpad or studying in different study programs at other universities; and/or learning outside of tertiary institutions.
The Agricultural Engineering Study Program of Padjadjaran University implemented the MBKM Program in Semesters 5, 6, and 7, as seen in the following figure.
FORMS AND METHODS OF LEARNING
The learning pattern in the TEP Study Program refers to the practice of adult education (Andragogy), which is expected to make students able to develop abilities, skills, enrich the repertoire of knowledge, improve their technical or professional qualifications to realize dual skills, namely, on the one hand, being able to develop fully and personally. Be able to recognize their participation in socio-cultural, economic, and technological developments in an accessible, balanced and sustainable manner. The forms of learning in the Unpad TEP Study Program include lectures, responses/tutorials, practicums, field lectures, and final project seminars that are strung together in the Thesis and Scientific Publication courses. While the learning methods implemented include the technique of Small Group Discussion, Discovery Learning, Cooperative Learning, Project Based Learning, Problem Based Learning, Simulation, and Case Studies.
