چکیده

هدف: رشته مهندسی عمران از رشته‌های پرطرفدار می‌باشد که دانش‌آموختگان آن مسئولیت‌های زیادی در سازندگی و آبادانی کشور دارند و بر همین اساس ضرورت دارد برنامه‌ درسی رشته منجر به نتایج مطلوب گردد. در همین راستا، هدف پژوهش حاضر، شناسایی نتایج مطلوب برنامه درسی کارشناسی رشته مهندسی عمران و ارزیابی وضعیت موجود برنامه ‌درسی این رشته در بعد نتایج بوده است.
مواد و روش‌ها: رویکرد تحقیق، ترکیبی اکتشافی متوالی از نوع ابزارسازی است. روش تحقیق کیفی در این مطالعه، روش پدیدارشناسی و در بخش کمی پیمایشی بوده است. پژوهش حاضر در یکی از دانشگاه‌های جامع کشور انجام شده است. ابزار جمع‌آوری اطلاعات بخش کیفی، مصاحبه نیمه‌ساختاریافته و ابزار بخش کمی، پرسشنامه محقق ساخته بوده است. شرکت‌کنندگان بخش کیفی، اعضای هیأت علمی رشته مهندسی عمران دانشگاه مربوطه و بخش کمی دانش‌آموختگان رشته کارشناسی مهندسی عمران طی سال‌های 1394تا 1397 آن دانشگاه به تعداد 120 نفر بوده است. در بخش کیفی به‌منظور بررسی عمیق موضوع با همه اعضای جامعه (12 نفر) مصاحبه صورت گرفت و در بخش کمی حجم نمونه آماری براساس جدول کرجسی و مورگان 92 نفر تعیین شد. به‌منظور تحلیل یافته‌های کیفی از مقوله‌بندی و برای تحلیل اطلاعات کمی نیز از نرم‌افزارspss  استفاده شده است.
بحث و نتیجه‌گیری: نتایج برنامه ‌درسی رشته مهندسی عمران در سه سطح محصول، برون‌داد و پیامد بررسی شده است. یافته‌ها نشان داد از نظر مصاحبه‌شوندگان، برنامه‌درسی رشته مهندسی عمران باید به نتایجی هم‌چون: تسلط بر دانش پایه، اصول و مبانی مهندسی عمران، توانایی طراحی، نظارت و اجرای پروژه‌های عمرانی، توانایی تجزیه و تحلیل مهندسی،‌ توانایی کار با نرم‌افزارهای کاربردی در سطح محصول، نتایجی هم‌چون: یافتن شغل مرتبط با رشته، رضایت‌مندی کارفرمایان و گرایش به ادامه تحصیل در سطح برون‌داد و به نتایجی هم‌چون: بهبود کیفیت زندگی عمومی و رفاه اجتماعی، مدیریت مصرف انرژی و مدیریت و کنترل حوادث انسان‌ساز و بلایای طبیعی در سطح پیامد منجر شود. از نظر دانش‌آموختگان، نتایج برنامه درسی رشته مهندسی عمران در هر سه سطح محصول، برون‌داد و پیامد با وضعیت مطلوب فاصله دارد. بین وضعیت مطلوبی که اساتید مصاحبه‌شونده از نتایج برنامه ‌درسی رشته مهندسی عمران در نظر داشته‌اند و وضعیت موجود از نظر دانش‌آموختگان، تفاوت‌هایی وجود دارد.

چکیده [English]

Objective: The field of civil engineering is one of the most popular fields today and its graduates have many responsibilities in the construction and development of the country, and therefore it is necessary to consider the curriculum of the field leading to the desired results. Accordingly, the purpose of the study was to identify the desired results of the undergraduate curriculum in the field of civil engineering and to evaluate the current status of the undergraduate curriculum.
Materials and Methods: The research approach is a sequential exploratory combination of instrumentation. The research method for the qualitative section was phenomenological and for the quantitative section was a survey. The data collection tools for the qualitative section were semi-structured interviews and the quantitative section was a researcher-made questionnaire. The statistical population of the qualitative section was the faculty members of the civil engineering department of the relevant university, and the quantitative was 120 people of civil engineering graduates during the years 1394 to 1397. In the qualitative section, to study the issue in depth, all members of the mentioned faculty (12 people) were interviewed and in the quantitative section, the statistical sample size was determined based on the Krejcie and Morgan table, 92 people. To analyze the qualitative findings, categorization and for the quantitative information analysis, SPSS software has been used.
Discussion & Conclusion: Results: The results of the civil engineering curriculum at three levels of product, output, and outcome have been reviewed. Findings showed that from the point of view of the interviewees, the civil engineering curriculum should have results such as mastery of basic knowledge, principles, and foundations of civil engineering, ability to design, monitor and execute civil projects, ability to analyze engineering,  ability to work with applications at the product level; results such as finding a job related to the field, employers' satisfaction and tendency to continue education at the output level; and results such as improving the quality of public life and social welfare, energy consumption management and management and control of man-made disasters and natural disasters at the outcome level. According to the graduates, the results of the civil engineering curriculum in all three levels of product, output, and outcome are far from the desired situation. Therefore, it can be concluded there is a difference between the desired situation that the interviewed professors considered regarding the civil engineering curriculum’s results and the current situation of the field from the viewpoint of the graduates.
