Reorganizing the Curriculum of the Study Programs of the Electrical Engineering Fields in Universitas Negeri Padang as Its Eminent Policy

Abstract

Based on the fact, there are often standard inequalities and curriculum needs made, provided, and used for D3 and D4 study programs. For example, the Electrical Series courses as basic skills courses for student, even each program lectured by the same person, the understanding of each study program’s students on this subject is very different. The initial assumption, this occurs because misunderstanding of each education level with the differences need between vocation and majors courses. So the material given to D3 and D4 is unbalanced. The initial assumption was that the lecturer teams of each study program were too deco-defective towards the category of applied electrical engineering graduation that had to work in the industry, and electrical engineering education which had to become a teacher. For instance, electrical circuit subjects, this course is a basic knowledge in electrical engineering, so it must be shared and delivered to students is the same scientific material. Therefore, this research is very important to be carried out to unite the perceptions and perspectives of the electrical engineering department - UNP along with the lecturer council for the ideal curriculum for a department of educational institutions with the origin of formation such as UNP.
