Supporting Dozens of Employees from a Thesis

Informatics is a very dynamic and rapidly developing field of study. After 30 years of existence, the Informatics Engineering Study Program at the Bandung Institute of Technology (ITB) has produced thousands of informatics practitioners who have significantly participated in the information technology industry in Indonesia. ITB Informatics Engineering alumni are currently spread across various important positions throughout Indonesia and the world. Starting in November 2012, the ITB Informatics Engineering Study Program will implement a regular program, Informatics Teaching, which will invite practitioners who are successful ITB Informatics Engineering graduates in the field. They are invited to share their knowledge and experience. This Informatics Teaching Program is open to the general public who are interested in understanding how informatics plays a role in industry.
