The Department of Chemical Engineering at FTI-ITS is an educational institution that produces future Chemical Engineering engineers from Bachelor’s (ST), Master’s (MT), to Doctoral (Dr) levels. The core curriculum of Chemical Engineering is designed so that graduates are capable of transforming raw materials into higher-value products using physical, chemical, and biological principles/processes in safe, environmentally friendly, and profitable conditions.
Initially, the Department of Chemical Engineering at FTI-ITS was the Faculty of Chemical Engineering, established in 1960. Over the course of ITS’s journey, it transformed into the Department of Chemical Engineering, and in 2017, when ITS became ITS-PTNBH, it changed to the Department of Chemical Engineering under the Faculty of Industrial Technology (FTI). Since 1993, the master’s program (MT) has been opened, and in 2001, the doctoral program (Dr) was opened. All three levels have received BAN PT accreditation with an A grade. The bachelor’s level has been certified by AUN-QA (ASEAN University Network-Quality Assurance) and is currently in the process of international accreditation by IABEE (Indonesian Accreditation Board for Engineering Education) under the Washington Accord accreditation body. Undergraduate students have also been registered as members of the AICHE (American Institute of Chemical Engineering) student chapter since 2017. Throughout 2016-2017, students of the Department of Chemical Engineering at FTI-ITS won first place in the Chem-E-Car competition in four different countries, namely Malaysia, Indonesia, Australia, and in 2017, they won first place in Minneapolis, USA.
Graduates of the Department of Chemical Engineering can work in government, state-owned enterprises, or private companies. The scope of work includes manufacturing industries, food industries, chemical industries such as fertilizers, pesticides, dyes, paints, lubricants, oil and gas, and other specialty chemicals. They can also work in industrial services as researchers or development services in fields such as energy and the development of biotechnology and nanotechnology. Additionally, they can work in various manufacturing industries other than chemical manufacturing, such as industries producing electronics, photographic equipment, clothing, pulp and paper, and aircraft development.
The Department of Chemical Engineering at FTI-ITS has 17 laboratories consisting of 11 research laboratories, 5 teaching laboratories, and 1 service (analysis) laboratory for the public. The teaching staff in the Department of Chemical Engineering consists of 10 professors, 24 staff with doctoral degrees, and 5 with master’s degrees, all of whom are graduates from various renowned universities both domestically and internationally.
Various academic and research collaborations have been and continue to be carried out with universities at home and abroad, as well as with industries to improve the quality of graduates from the Department of Chemical Engineering at FTI-ITS and to update the development of science and technology and its application in the industrial world.
The Department of Chemical Engineering at FTI-ITS continuously strives to make a real contribution to the progress and independence of the Indonesian nation towards a more prosperous and dignified Indonesia.
