The industrial sector is one of the important factors to sustain the economy in Indonesia. The resources owned by the Indonesian people in the industrial sector are numerous. The industrial sector will be strong if it is supported by human resources who act as innovators. An innovator has the expertise and ability to absorb knowledge in the fields of science and engineering, and apply it in industry. This is one of the considerations for the PSTF to formulate a profile of graduates, considering that the field of physical engineering provides a strong understanding of basic science and basic engineering.

Management of natural resources by the nation’s children is a form of strengthening a wisdom. In this case, it takes HR who have the ability to research and develop, design and analyze various physical systems in the industry. Therefore, PSTF graduates are expected to fulfill this need because physics engineering is a scientific discipline that has multifaced and interdisciplinary characteristics. PSTF graduates are expected to have interdisciplinary abilities and be able to quickly assimilate themselves to take advantage of the latest advances in science and nature.

The Independent Professional Profile (PPM) formulation of the PSTF based on the Indonesian National Work Competency Standards (SKKNI) is an engineer in engineering sub-fields: acoustic and vibration techniques, optical and photonic techniques, thermal engineering, material engineering, instrumentation, measurement and control techniques . More broadly, the sub-field of engineering from PPM PSTF is a system of techniques and / or other technologies that require special knowledge and / or ability to carry out integrated synthesis between basic science and engineering science
