Internal Quality Audit (AMI) 2024 for the Chemistry Study Program

The AMI activity is essential to ensure that all processes and procedures in the Chemistry Study Program are in line with the quality standards set by the National Higher Education Standards (SN DIKTI) and the university’s internal standards. The audit aims to evaluate the conformity and effectiveness of the phases starting from the determination, implementation, evaluation, control, and improvement, in accordance with the SPMI cycle, as well as the efficiency of the quality system implementation within the program.

This year, the Faculty of Science and Technology, with 4 study programs (Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics, and Biology), has developed an Outcome-Based Education (OBE) curriculum application called SIM OBE. In this application, the chemistry program curriculum, from graduate profiles, learning outcomes, learning plans to the evaluation of each student’s learning (portfolio), has been systematically integrated into the application. This facilitates monitoring and evaluation of the learning process in the next stages. Evaluation is conducted not only on the learning system but also comprehensively on the quality of educators and educational staff, facilities, alumni tracers, and stakeholders.

The Chemistry program has also established international collaborations that include teaching and thesis supervision. The teaching process involves industry practitioners from The National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST) in the course of Catalysis Chemistry and an international visiting lecturer, Dr. Mohamad Saufi bin Rosmi from Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris (UPSI), Malaysia. The thesis supervision collaboration involves guest lecturers from Brawijaya University and Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris (UPSI), Malaysia. This collaboration aims to enhance the quality and modernity of teaching and research. Improvements that need to be made include enhancing public communication through digital channels, including student access to information on the program’s website. The implementation of recommendations regarding the provision of more complete and up-to-date information on the program’s website is expected to aid in the improvement and development of the Chemistry Study Program.
