Preliminary Design of New Revised Curriculum for Nuclear Engineering Program with Strengthening in Safety Security and Safeguard

摘要

It is mandatory for educational institutions in Indonesia, that they have to evaluate or revision of their curriculum. The curriculum is a tool to implement and achieve the goals of education. It has been developed with attention to the development paradigm and national education standards, in order to address the challenges faced in professional duties. The evaluation or revision has to be conducted based on the internal evaluation and external feedback evaluation. Internal evaluation can be gained during implementation and small evaluation could be done in each every semester. External evaluation should be conducted at least in every fifth year of implementation. The content of nuclear engineering curriculum at Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM) has been strengthened already with safety and safeguard subjects, but not with security related aspects yet. Department of Engineering Physics at UGM has already decided to enhance the next revised curriculum with strengthened three integrated aspects, namely safety, security and safeguard. In the preliminary phase, several courses have been identified, that safety, security and safeguard topics should be involved. Actually many efforts for preparation of revision have been already done to develop concept for enhancing the course contents with nuclear security subjects. The concept of preliminary revision has been developed base on enhancement of course content, revision of syllabus, mapping of course content and course objectives. Several model of course content enhancement have been already trialed. The results show, that basic knowledge of students on nuclear security has been improved and we need well further understanding of educators with nuclear security framework for regularly updated syllabus with actual new security issues.
