IPA (Sci) attempt to generate interest to enhance human intelligence and his understanding of nature with all its contents is full of secrets that are inexhaustible. With the secret veil of natural tersingkapnya it one by one, as well as flowing out of the information it generates, the more extensive coverage of science and the birth of terapannya, i.e., the technology is wide. But from the time that the longer the distance the more narrow, so that the slogan "Science these days is the technology of tomorrow" is a motto many times proven by history. Even now the integral science and technology into the culture of science and technology co-exist (complimentary), like currencies, i.e. one side contains the very essence of Science (the nature of Science) and the other side contains the meaning of technology (the meaning of technology).

IPA discusses the symptoms of nature are organized systematically based on the results of experiments and observations made by humans. It is as expressed by Powler (in Vienna-son, 1992: 125) that IPA is the science that deals with the symptoms and nature of the material that is systematically arranged on a regular basis, generally in the form of a collection of obervasi and experimental results.
