Abstract

One of the criteria for public judgment on the effectiveness of contemporary architecture education in each country is the suitability of the quality of learning of people according to the work environment of their academic field. It is important to understand the fields of employment in the field of architecture. This issue helps that educational topics in the fields of knowledge and skills have a better fit with the job position. This concern requires qualitative and quantitative analysis both in the way of presentation and in lesson planning. This research, with a practical and developmental purpose and descriptive-analytical in nature, uses the qualitative research method with a logical reasoning approach. For this purpose, the researchers use a pairwise analogy of skill-specialized parameters of architectural employment and hierarchical analysis to measure the frequency of courses and the weighted frequency of the criteria. This point makes the program unable to be responsive to the environment and it is not one of the subjects in the curriculum required by the graduates. In addition, the educational rigidity has caused no change in architecture graduates. This competition is visible with the majority of graduates in limited fields.
