About Industrial Engineering University of Indonesia

“where the science of engineering and management blends “

Established in mid-1970 as a study program under the Mechanical Engineering Department, Industrial Engineering separated as an independent department in 1998. 
Considered as a youngest department in the faculty of engineering, Industrial Engineering Department from the beginning has already attracted best students, by ranking no 2 and 3 (depending on year) in terms of attractiveness in University of Indonesia. Recognized by the Higher-Education Institution National Accreditation Board (BAN-PT) with the highest level of accrediation which is  “A” accreditation

Industrial Engineering also received the national grant program based on competitiveness called “Hibah Kompetisi A3” which last from 2005-2007. The grant shows a high level of competitiveness among the applicants of the program. A3 Grant is given only to education programs which already obtain “A” accreditation.

History
Industrial Engineering in Faculty of Engineering University of Indonesia was already exist since mid 1970s as a part of the Mechanical Engineering Department but as a new department it was established on June 30 1998 (officially declared by Department of Culture and Educational with letter of order from Director General of High Education SK 207/Dikti/Kep/1998). It felt that there is an increasing need for a special breed of mechanical engineer who could handle the increasing complexity of problem in industry following the rapid growth of Indonesia’s Industry.

Vision
Industrial Engineering Program University of Indonesia will be a leading program by producing high quality graduates, researches and services for national and international manufacturing and service industry.

Education Mission
Our mission is to prepare our students as future High Quality Industrial Engineers who are able to systematically design and analyze as part of a team for national and international manufacturing and service industry.

The mission was built with the knowledge that system approach is crucial in solving engineering problem and that team work is a capability that our engineers must have the world most likely working in a team. We also believe that education mission has to be simple, easy to understand to our stakeholders (which included students).

Why Teamwork? Almost all problems in engineering require different backgrounds of engineers to be solved. Teamwork Spirit, or we define it as the ability to work as a team, are crucial in the workfield of an engineer. Based on our graduates experience that they are having difficulty to work as a team because the lack of knowledge on methods and importance of teamwork.

So from the beginning, students were given projects, homework, or field trip that enable them to practice the art and methods of teamwork (group) so when they graduated they won’t have the same difficulty.
