| Abstract | The path to becoming a professional architect in Malaysia is largely affected by the two systems involved in it; the tertiary education (accredited LAM programs) and the official regulating body (LAM) for the field. In order to ensure that the current systems are providing the right and most efficient route towards producing more professionals in the construction field for the development of the country, it is crucial that the directions or trends of the past architectural graduates be analysed thoroughly to get a grip on their effectiveness. This paper is aimed at establishing the numbers of architectural graduates and identifying their trends of career paths towards professionalism as well as the factors that influence their decisions. Data is retrieved from USM's student Records and Data Unit for graduates of B.Sc. HBP and B.Arch from 1993 to 2017. The data is then mapped according to criteria such as race and gender to the listed records of registered Part III architects and graduate architects retrieved from LAM. Findings show that about 50% or half of the graduates chose to pursue a professional career while the other half have deviated due to several reasons such as course difficulty, struggles to sustain interest and personal choices. |
