Undergraduate Program in Information System and Technology
The Information Systems and Technology study program is one of the new programs within the School of Electrical Engineering and Informatics at ITB. This program was developed in response to the rapid advancements in information systems.
Information systems, as an academic field in undergraduate programs, encompass two main areas, namely areas related to efforts to:
- Designing, developing, and assessing systems to address information management challenges faced by organizations; and
- Designing, developing, and assessing the management of information technology employed to support an organization's information systems.
As part of the process of enhancing social and economic activities, the global community has entered an era oriented toward information, and even further, toward a knowledge society. Information systems and technology have become key factors in driving business dynamics and the development of organizations and communities in today’s global life. Information systems and technology have become integral to everyday life, encompassing various domains such as science, engineering/design, technology, products, services, operations, and management. The effective and efficient use of information systems and technology is a critical element in achieving competitive advantage. These systems and technologies have merged into various aspects of life, ranging from commerce/business (e-commerce), education and learning (e-education and e-learning), healthcare (e-health), culture, transportation, industry, tourism, the environment, collaboration (collaborative working), to the entertainment sector.
The Information Technology Systems study program was developed to anticipate the rapid development of phenomena, problems, needs, and side effects of information systems on organizations and society, based on the development of information technology.
This program provides comprehensive knowledge, skills, and creative thinking approaches, fostering the ability to keep up with advancements in cutting-edge knowledge and technology, as well as the dynamics of the social environment.
As one of the academic fields of engineering, the Information Systems Technology Study Program comprises two main academic areas related to the planning, development, and evaluation of systems for information management, specifically tailored for particular organizations or, in a global context, for societal life.
Today, information systems technology has become a significant component and a key determinant in the dynamics of business, organizations, and community development. It has integrated into our daily lives, encompassing knowledge, nature, engineering and design, service development, operational activities, and management.
The effective and efficient utilization of information systems technology is essential for achieving competitive business advantages and contributing to the accelerated growth of communities, society, and even nations. Its application must extend across all dimensions of life, including business (e-commerce), education and learning (e-education and e-learning), healthcare (e-health), culture, transportation, industry, tourism, collaborative activities, and entertainment.
