Comparative Analysis of Engineering Courses in Architecture Faculties in Türkiye

Abstract

During the construction phase of buildings, there are major problems due to the lack of overlap between architectural and engineering projects. These problems are based on education. Education should primarily be of a quality that unites the two disciplines, not separates them, and should be uniform in all universities. Equalization of architecture departments, which have differences in education with other universities in the world today, is an important problem on a macro scale. This study reveals the educational structure in terms of Civil Engineering courses in the Architecture departments of 22 well-established State Universities in Türkiye. In this context, the research comparatively reveals the differences in terms of ECTS, instructor status, contents, execution methods, semesters, related additional courses, elective and compulsory status, and prerequisites of the courses in question. In addition, the employment status of faculty members of architecture faculties in terms of civil engineering courses is examined, and the reflections of this situation on education are discussed. The data for the study were obtained from the websites of the 'YÖK (Council of Higher Education) Atlas’, the official websites of the universities, and interviews with the relevant faculties. In the universities studied, the data of the courses in question are listed in tables, and those deemed necessary are analyzed graphically. As a result of the research, it is determined that there are differences in ECTS, course contents, course programs, semesters, and faculty members of the courses. The contents of the courses conducted under different titles and the number of universities are revealed. In this context, it is attempted to create a basis for a uniform curriculum proposal that will remove these differences in education and bring a positive working process among architects and between architects and engineers in professional practice.
