About the Journal

In 2019, the Faculty of Technology and Vocational Education (FPTK) at Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia (UPI) marked an important milestone through its active involvement in the Asian Development Bank (ADB)-supported Advance Knowledge and Skills for Sustainable Growth (AKSI) project. The initiative aimed to develop UPI as a Center of Excellence for Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET), supporting the development of academic programs, professional certification institutions, vocational teacher education, research centers, and teaching factories.

In the same year, the Undergraduate Program in Automotive Engineering Education was established under Rector's Regulation of Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia No. 4094/UN40/HK/2019. As part of its commitment to advancing research and scholarly publication, the program initiated the International Journal of Automotive Engineering (IJAE), also known as Motor Journal.

IJAE was established as a scholarly platform for disseminating research findings, knowledge, and innovations related to automotive engineering and its relevant fields. The journal's establishment was inspired by academic discussions and professional collaboration with associations, including APTO and ADGVI, reflecting an effort to strengthen research dissemination and collaboration within the automotive field.
