First Year Undergraduate Program
Lectures in the first year at IPB are lectures to gain general competence, all first-year students will receive the same courses based on their clustering. This lecture model started in 1973, at that time it was known as TPB – Tingkat Persiapan Bersama (Joint Preparation Level). Since 2003, the TPB Program has changed to the General Competency Education Program, and in 2022 it has changed to DPKU – Direktorat Pendidikan Kompetensi Umum (Directorate of General Competency Education).
At this level, Physics students get a number of courses that become general competencies for the Physics undergraduate program. Physics student lectures at level 1 are primarily carried out in the CCR Building – Common Class Room.
The Department of Physics manages the basic-level physics courses in two different clusters:
- FIS1104 – Physics for Science and Technology
- FIS1105 – Physics for Humanities
The cluster division is based on the focus of each faculty or study program. The science-Technology cluster consists of all study programs at the Faculty of Agriculture (A), Faculty of Veterinary Medicine (B), Faculty of Fisheries and Marine Sciences (C), Faculty of Animal Science (D), Faculty of Forestry and Environment (E), Faculty of Agricultural Technology (F), Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences (G), and Nutrition Science Study Program (I1). While the Humanities cluster consists of all study programs at the Faculty of Economics and Management (H), Family and Consumer Science Study Program (I2), Communication and Community Development Study Program (I3), and Business Studies Program (K0).
The FIS1104 managed by the Department of Physics will equip students with various abilities to think and act scientifically. To achieve this, in this course, students will be given a strengthening of understanding and broadening their knowledge of the concept of matter-energy and its interactions, as well as sharpening the ability to analyze and evaluate the benefits of these concepts in the development of the latest technology.
Slightly different, The FIS1105 course equips students with various abilities to think and act scientifically by strengthening their understanding and broadening their horizons so that they can analyze and evaluate social and human phenomena based on physical concepts.
