Self-assessment is a key instrument for improving the quality of the Program's activities. To achieve this, it is necessary to first, and foremost, to establish quantitative and qualitative evaluation parameters based on the program's mission, vision, values, objectives, goals, and strategies, ensuring that the process can effectively restructure the Program for the next four-year period.
A self-assessment process must recognize societal changes stemming from postgraduate-level scientific research and its impact on undergraduate education. This process includes the dissemination of new work methodologies, the introduction of innovative materials, techniques, and technologies that transform the built environment, the promotion of respect and appreciation for architetural heritage, and the broad sharing of knowledge.
Since its inception, PROARQ has undergone continuous evaluation and improvement. Established in 1987 with the launch of the Academic Master’s in Architecture, it later introduced the Doctorate in Architecture in 2003, followed by the Professional Master’s in Design and Heritage in 2013. The latter was developed through the collaborative efforts of its permanent faculty members and, in October 2020, achieved administrative and academic autonomy. While these milestones represent major advancements, other refinements — such as redefining areas of concentration, research lines, projects, research groups, and faculty composition—have been instrumental in shaping the program’s current structure.
The Self-Assessment Project must align with the Program's Strategic Plan for the four-year period, supporting the development of specific objectives, target goals, and the strategic actions necessary to meet those goals. enabling the fulfillment of those goals. The project should include the evaluation objectives, assessment parameters, applied methodology, responsible parties, execution timeline, and methods for utilizing the collected results.
