Program Outcomes |
Level of Contribution |
1) |
Using the theoretical/conceptual and practical knowledge acquired for architectural design, design activities and research. |
|
2) |
Identifying, defining and effectively discussing aesthetic, functional and structural requirements for solving design problems using critical thinking methods. |
|
3) |
Being aware of the diversity of social patterns and user needs, values and behavioral norms, which are important inputs in the formation of the built environment, at local, regional, national and international scales. |
|
4) |
Gaining knowledge and skills about architectural design methods that are focused on people and society, sensitive to natural and built environment in the field of architecture. |
