<![CDATA[ABSTRACT: Eigenvalue problems especially Sturm-Liouville equations often occur in physics. Homogenous Dirichlet or mixed boundary value problems can be constructed from these equations. The nontrivial solution from these equations can be obtained using finite element methods. The purpose of this research is to obtain the details of the construction of finite element method using cubic Hermite interpolation in solving Sturm-Liouville equations. The result shows that the solutions of the finite element method using cubic Hermite interpolation is good enough in solving Sturm Liouville equation. Based on the example, its error depends on the element’s length and the index of the eigenvalue or eigen function. Keywords : finite element, Sturm-Liouville, Hermite Interpolation, Eigen value]]>
