Greetings from coordinator LUPIC

Prof. Wonkoo Lee

Department of Chemistry, Sogang University Seoul, Korea

I am pleased to welcome you as the Director of the LUPIC program. It is with great excitement that I announce the launch of our new website, serving as a platform for collaboration and communication between Sogang University and Indonesian universities

Short History

Leading University for International Cooperation (LUPIC) program began in 2012. The program aims to assist universities in developing countries to create, reorganize and systematically train human resources using the excellent resources and experiences from Korean universities. Through this program with the support from the Ministry of Education (MOE) of Korea, more than 41 universities in 18 developing countries had the opportunities to strengthen their educational capabilities and develop their communities (as of 2023).

The LUPIC program, supported by the Korean government, aims to assist universities in developing countries by fostering academic exchange, promoting development, and encouraging international collaboration. This website will play a crucial role in achieving our goals, enhancing cooperation between Korean and Indonesian universities.

Through the new website, you can easily find information about our program, participate in various collaborative projects and activities, and engage in effective communication. We look forward to the continued and strengthened collaboration between Sogang University and Indonesian universities.

Thank you.

The forerunner of the Department of Chemistry Education at FPMIPA IKIP Bandung was the Department of Natural Sciences at the Teacher Education College (PTPG) which was born in 1954. In connection with the change of PTPG s status to the Faculty of Teacher Training and Education (FKIP) at Padjadjaran University (UNPAD), for six years since In 1957, this department became part of UNPAD.

In 1963 FKIP UNPAD changed its status to IKIP Bandung in accordance with Presidential Decree No. 1 of 1963. Since then the chemistry education department has become one of the departments within the Faculty of Teacher Training and Exact Sciences (FKIE) IKIP Bandung, at that time it was called the Department of Chemistry.

In 1983 the Ministry of Education and Culture held a reorganization of state universities, since then the name FKIE changed to FPMIPA and the name Chemistry Education Department began to be used. Before 1983, the educational programs organized by the Department of Chemistry Education included the baccalaureate level with a program duration of 6 semesters and the undergraduate level with a program duration of 4 semesters as a continuation of the baccalaureate level. From 1979 to 1992 the Department of Chemistry Education held two types of educational programs, namely the undergraduate program (S1) with a program duration of 8 semesters and the Diploma III Program with a program duration of 6 semesters.

Starting in 1993, the Department of Chemistry Education only provided undergraduate programs. However, the Department of Chemistry Education still holds lectures and practicums for several chemistry courses offered to D3 Science Middle School students and S1 Programs for PGSD Science lecturers. Starting in 1994, the Department of Chemistry Education, in addition to organizing regular undergraduate programs, also held lectures and practicums for several chemistry courses in S1 Science PGSD and D3 PGSMF (a collaboration between the Ministry of Health and IKIP Bandung). The existence of the FPMIPA IKIP Bandung Chemistry Education Department was strengthened by the Decree of the Director General of Higher Education Number 243/DIKTI/Kep/1996 dated 11 July 1996.

In 1999 IKIP Bandung changed its name to the Indonesian Education University (UPI) and became UPI a State-Owned Legal Entity (BHMN) in 2004. Evaluation and verification of the National Accreditation Board (BAN) for Higher Education, Ministry of Education and Culture in 1998 (Number 001/BAN-PT /Ak-1/VIII/1998) states that the Department of Chemistry Education is accredited A. In line with the expansion of its mandate (wider mandate), in the 1998 academic year the Department of Chemistry Education opened a Chemistry Study Program with the Decree of the Director General of DIKTI No. 910 of 1998. Existence of the Study Program Chemistry Education and the Chemistry Study Program in the Department of Chemistry Education are developed with the principle of cross fertilization, which will mutually strengthen each other.

The Department of Chemistry Education has 45 lecturers and each year accepts an average of 80 students from the Chemistry Education Study Program and 40 students from the Chemistry Study Program who are recruited through SNMPTN (invitation and writing), as well as UM-UPI. During its journey, the Department of Chemistry Education was led by Ir. Lie Tiong Djien (deceased) was the first, followed by Dr. Ir. Lim Tik Liem (late), Dr. Rahmat Wiradinata, M.Sc., Prof. Dr. Ratna Wilis Dahar, M.Sc., Drs. Didi Kuswadi, Dra. Djuariah AS, Drs. Soeroso Martodimedjo, Dra. Nuraini Syarifuddin, Drs. Iyon Kertawidjaya, M.Pd., Drs. Harry Firman, M.Pd, Drs. Momo Rosbiono, M.Pd., M.Sc., Dr. Sumar Hendayana, M.Sc., Drs. Rahmat Setiadi, M.Sc., Prof. Dr. Anna Permanasari, M.Si., Dr. Ijang Rohman, M.Si., Dr. Ahmad Mudzakir, M.Sc., and now led by Dr. Hendrawan, M.Sc.

Currently, since August 2023, the name of Department was deleted and changed to study program. So, there are two study program: Chemistry Education Study Program, lead by Dr. Wiji, M.Si, and Chemistry Study Program, lead by Prof. Dr. Fitri Khoerunnisa, M.Si. Website link:https://kimia.upi.edu/
