Chemical Engineering at UNPAR |
Developing Local Potential with a Global Spirit

Established on April 22, 1993, the Undergraduate Program in Chemical Engineering at UNPAR operates under the Faculty of Industrial Technology (FTI), which was founded with the spirit of UNPAR’s founders, Mgr. Arntz and Mgr. Geise, who sought to advance education in Indonesia, particularly in the Pasundan region. The founding of FTI was initiated by a small team led by Prof. Dr. Ir. Ign. Suharto, APU, who formally began work on November 1, 1992. The Undergraduate Program in Chemical Engineering first accepted students in the 1993 academic year after receiving authorization from the Ministry of National Education (MENDIKNAS) through Decree No. 34/D/O/1993.

Recognition and Accreditation

Since its inception, the Undergraduate Program in Chemical Engineering at UNPAR has continued to grow and achieve significant milestones. In 1998, the program received “Recognized (Diakui)” status from the National Accreditation Board for Higher Education (BAN-PT) through Decree No. 014/BAN-PT/Ak-IV/VII/2000. Another significant step occurred in 2009 with the establishment of the Master’s Program in Chemical Engineering, based on the Directorate General of Higher Education Decree No. 111/D/T/2009. Both undergraduate and master’s programs have demonstrated continuous positive development to this day.

In 2023, the Undergraduate Program in Chemical Engineering at UNPAR achieved international accreditation through General Accreditation from the Indonesian Accreditation Board for Engineering Education (IABEE) (Certificate No. 00132.A). Additionally, the program received the “Excellent (Unggul)” rating from the Independent Accreditation Agency for Engineering Programs (LAM TEKNIK) through Decree No. 0052/SK/LAM TEKNIK/PYT/VI/2023.

Meanwhile, the Master’s Program in Chemical Engineering at UNPAR also received recognition with a “Very Good (Baik Sekali)” rating from LAM TEKNIK in 2022, as per Decree No. 0090/SK/LAM TEKNIK/AM/VIII/2022.

Vision

To become a humanistic academic community in the field of chemical engineering that develops local potential excellence, aiming to participate and be recognized internationally for the betterment of human dignity and the integrity of creation.

Mission

1. To build a humanistic academic community in the field of chemical engineering.
2. To conduct research, scientific studies, systematization, conservation, and dissemination of knowledge and technology in chemical engineering, with an emphasis on developing the excellence of local raw materials and products for international recognition.
3. To deliver the highest quality student-centered learning, fostering critical and creative thinking based on research outcomes.
4. To engage in community service based on research findings.

This mission is pursued to elevate human dignity and preserve the integrity of creation, in line with UNPAR’s motto, Bakuning Hyang Mrih Guna Santyaya Bhakti, which means pursuing knowledge based on divinity to be dedicated to society.

Goals

Guided by the Tri Dharma of Higher Education and inspired by the Spirituality and Fundamental Values of UNPAR (SINDU), the Chemical Engineering Department at UNPAR has the following goals:

1. In education, the department aims to produce graduates with excellent knowledge, skills, and character; who are capable of teamwork; who consistently integrate knowledge, faith, and morality; and who have respect and care for human dignity, noble humanitarian values, and the integrity of creation.
2. In research, the department aims to conduct research and development of local excellence, especially abundant biomass raw materials in Indonesia, to produce chemical products, food, and renewable energy sources.
3. In community service, the department aims to apply research products and local excellence development to solve chemical industry problems and provide solutions to real-world challenges in society.

With these achievements, the Chemical Engineering Program at UNPAR remains committed to generating innovations in education, research, and community service, while addressing global challenges with a spirit of local excellence.
