In ensuring competitiveness and employability, architectural graduates nowadays have been observed to acquire new skills
to complement their conventional architectural trainings. The main purpose of this paper is to discuss the hard and soft
skills acquired by the architectural students via the architectural design project requirements, which is also categorized as
project-based learning. The study utilizes mixed-mode methods through questionnaire survey and in-depth interview. As this
is a preliminary study, the number of respondents for the survey is 32, while for the in-depth interview, only eight students
have participated. From the findings, it can be concluded that skills such as video presentation (hard skill), teamwork and
communication skills (soft skill) are essential for architecture students undertaking project-based learning. The findings of
this study will be used to benefit investigations in student’s skill developments in project-based learning with larger number
of respondents. It is hoped that the findings will be adopted into the architectural education field to better equip future
graduate architects with skills which are necessary for the industry. |
