In the third meeting in 2018 (March 8, 2018) Academic Subcommittee approved a resolution to revise seven bachelor’s degree curriculums. Those programs were relocated from the Faculty of Industrial Education to the Faculty of Architecture, starting from the first semester of 2017. Students with code 53 onwards were subjected to this change. The reason behind this was that the Faculty of Industrial Education focused primarily on producing technician teachers while the Project of Administrative Cooperation in Curriculum (Media) provided three programs, namely Media Arts, Medical Media, and Media Technology which mainly did not focus on making a teacher, and therefore were moved to be under the Faculty of Architecture since the two faculties shared the same educational area. As a result, the university development plan was significantly more driven.
