Kalimantan Institute of Technology

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kalimantan Institute of Technology (Indonesian: Institut Teknologi Kalimantan, abbreviated as ITK) is a technological-focused public university based in Balikpapan, East Kalimantan.[1][2][3]

History[]

ITK was created in 2012 as part of the implementation of the Master Plan for Acceleration and Expansion on Indonesia's Economic Development (Indonesian: Masterplan Percepatan dan Perluasan Pembangunan Ekonomi Indonesia) or MP3EI.[1][4] At the time, East Kalimantan only had one university, Mulawarman University. ITK started collaborating with Sepuluh Nopember Institute of Technology, with the latter also providing ITK’s first campuses until 2015.[1][5] Despite that, ITK had already started accepting students in 2012, with 100 students from East Kalimantan exclusively as its first-year batch. Originally, only five majors were available to the students: Electrical Engineering, Machine Engineering, Naval Engineering, Chemical Engineering, and Civil Engineering. By 2013, the number of majors available increased and ITK started accepting students from outside East Kalimantan.[1][6] In 2014, ITK officially became a public university (Indonesian: Perguruan Tinggi Negeri) and by 2015, ITK started operating from its Balikpapan campus.[1][7]

Logo and philosophy[]

The logo of the university consists of three aspects, each with its own meaning:

  1. Two hornbills, referring to balance and consistency in creating a generation of achieving students that can contribute to society.
  2. Two hands reaching an opened book, referring to the importance of scientific knowledge.[8]
