History of Informatics
The delivery of the Informatics Engineering Study Program under the organizational structure of the Faculty of Industrial Technology (FTI) began in September 2003, at the start of the new academic year, based on the Decree of the Minister of Education and Culture of the Republic of Indonesia No. 1424s/D/T/2003. Over time, as of 15 December 2022, the Informatics Study Program achieved the “Baik Sekali” (Very Good) accreditation status through the Decree of LAM INFOKOM No. 112/SK/LAM-INFOKOM/Ak/S/XII/2022.
On 23 August 2016, the Faculty of Computer Science (FIK) was established, based on the Regulation of the Minister of Research, Technology, and Higher Education No. 38 of 2015, which changed the organizational position of the Informatics Engineering and Information Systems Study Programs from being under FTI to being part of FIK. Following this change, the management and delivery of the Informatics Engineering Study Program are now administered under the organizational structure of FIK.
The transition of UPN “Veteran” Jawa Timur (UPNVJT) from a private university (PTS) to a public university (PTN), along with the shift of the Informatics Engineering Study Program’s organizational structure from FTI to FIK, has significantly influenced the formulation of the vision, mission, goals, and objectives at the university, faculty, and study program levels. The process of developing the vision, mission, goals, and objectives was carried out by reviewing curriculum design standards from the Association of Informatics and Computer Higher Education Institutions (APTIKOM) through Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) by the drafting team. This team involved leadership elements (Dean, Vice Dean, Study Program Coordinator), academic staff (lecturers), administrative staff, and also invited students and student organizations, as well as stakeholders consisting of alumni representatives and employers.
