The Department of Architecture aims to create a healthy work environment for its students and staff members, and to encourage innovation, providing distinguished academic programs through the application of quality and accreditation standards. The department's goal is to prepare the students with practice competence and research capabilities to qualify them for professional practice. The Department of Architecture’s endeavor is intended to save the environment and to serve the community. To achieve its goals, the Department of Architecture formed 6 department committees to organize work and ensure efficiency collaboratively; each committee has a student member to ensure the representation of the most important stakeholder in the process.         

This document is meant to outline department committees’ descriptions, members, students’ representation, and responsibilities, including a description of individual key roles within each committee. The number of committees has been reduced combining similar and related tasks to ensure productivity. Each staff member is involved to establish a collaborative teamwork environment and to benefit from the collective department experience. The formulation of the committees is annual, and this document will be reviewed and developed annually considering the committees’ performance and recommendations.
