Curriculum development is carried out according to the types and levels of tertiary institutions owned by the Agro-industrial Technology Education Study Program, an undergraduate education program (S1) with a study period of 4 years (8 semesters). This level education program emphasizes the mastery of academic knowledge that underlies professional work in the field. Graduates of the Agro-Industrial Technology Education Study Program are expected to have a graduate profile with specific graduate competencies.
Learning Process
Academic implementation in the Agricultural Industry Technology Education study program refers to the procedures and guidelines for implementing UPI education by implementing a semester credit system. Each semester consists of 16 meetings, including midterm exams (UTS) and final semester exams (UAS).
Each subject’s learning is adjusted to each topic’s characteristics, where there are theoretical and practical courses.
A lecturer teaches each subject, and some are carried out by a team of lecturers.
Learning is carried out in theoretical lectures in class, surveys and observations to educational and non-educational institutions, practicum in laboratories, Industrial Practice, and micro teaching.
Students gain learning experiences through various learning models such as Problem Based Learning, Production Based Training, Project Based Learning, Discovery Learning, and other interactive learning models equipped with innovative learning media through information technology.
Learning in the Agro-industrial Technology Education Study Program is also carried out with blended learning. Several courses combine classroom learning and online learning through SPOT (integrated online learning system) on the link www.spot.upi.edu and other online learning portals.
According to the courses ‘ credit weight, students’ assignments include structured projects and independent tasks with workloads. These assignments can be in the form of articles, papers, lesson plans, practicum reports, discussion reports and field observation reports, or project assignments.
Assessment
Student graduation in courses is determined based on comprehensive student learning outcomes, namely from lecture activities in attending lectures, doing assignments, presentations and participation in discussions, Mid-Semester Exams (UTS), Final Semester Examinations (UAS), and lecture attendance.
Determination of learning completeness using rules of the benchmark reference approach (PAP), norm reference approach (PAN), or a combination of both, which is adjusted to the characteristics of the learning outcomes being evaluated.
According to the UPI academic implementation guidelines, the final grade of a course is stated by the weight of A, A-, B +, B, B-, C +, C, D, and E. For specific subjects considered to determine graduates’ professional competence, the minimum passing grade is B, such as Industrial Practice courses, Agro-industrial Research and PPLSP.
In completing the study, students must write a thesis; unless students obtain a GPA <2.25, they can take the non-thesis pathway by taking several substitute thesis courses with a weight of 6 credits. This rule refers to the UPI academic implementation guidelines.
Determination of qualitative requirements from student learning outcomes of the Agro-industrial Technology Education study program at the end of education refers to the UPI provisions regarding the calculation of GPA and determination of judicial GPA (Cum Laude = 3.51 – 4.00; Very satisfying = 3, 01 – 3, 50; Satisfactory = 2.00 – 3.00).
