Balikpapan,
If you had only known the presence of the Institute of Technology just
around each island of Java, but from 2012 this college (PT) such as the
type of Institut Teknologi Bandung Institute of Technology (ITB) and the
Surabaya Institute of Technology (ITS) will exist in a number of areas
such as Borneo and Sumatra and
in 2012 was confirmed attendees Kalimantan Institute of Technology
(ITK) in East Kalimantan (kaltim) precisely in the city of Balikpapan.It is said to be the Minister of Education, Prof.. DR. Ir. Muhammad Nuh, when he inaugurated in Balikpapan Balikpapan became California State Polytechnic Balikpapan, Friday (06/01).According
to the minister, during this PT kinds Institute of Technology is
located just around the island of Java, while the public interest to
choose the type that is very high PT termausk among students and high
school graduates in Balikpapan Kalimantan high perhuruan Generally
choose it, because it has not had so we support the efforts of the
provincial government East Kalimantan (Kalimantan) with Balikpapan city government to build ITK.''
In 2012, this will ITK tone in Balikpapan despite accepting new
students can start in 2014, but you can bet that will be built in
Balikpapan ITK over an area of 300 ha including the East Kalimantan
provincial government's land area of 60 hectares,'' said Muhammad Nuh,
interrupted inauguration speech in between Balikpapan State Polytechnic.To realize ITK in Balikpapan Muhammad Nuh central states will be poured funds of Rp 400 billion from the state budget."For
a start we will lighten Rp. 55 billion and it is for the construction
of some physical including office space and a space kulaih although the
funds can not be filled later to build ITK facilities including
laboratories," he said.The
presence of ITK in Balikpapan is expected later membantru many college
students who have kind of the Institute of Technology as fore expertise
in treknologi increasingly necessary, by her presence will be more
technology instritut big city outside Java, including in Balikpapan,
which is the only Institute of Technology in Borneo .According
to the Minister of Education, ITK construction will begin this year and
is targeted to last a year, and in 2014 was able to do the teaching and
learning process in ITK, this decision is not yet final, as it waits
decline decree (SK) ITK establishment directly from President Susilo
Bambang Yudhoyono (SBY) , only the president has given sinyak pack will support the presence of ITK in Balikpapan.''
I had to report to his President, I caught the hint, it's not readily
apparent rejection, he could not agree at all, we are waiting for his
decree, because the establishment of PT SK Institute of Technology
should be the type of president, instead of the minister,'' explained
Muhammad Noah.Another
certainty, it set up a fund of Rp 55 billion from the allocation of the
Directorate General of Higher Education (DG Education) this year, as
the initial capital such as land clearing and construction of some
facilities is urgent ITK although it has not been able to fund memenuhgi
ITK needs that should be better than ITB and ITS.ITK
even projected to exceed two institutes that already exist in
Indonesia, namely the Surabaya Institute of Technology (ITS) and the
Institut Teknologi Bandung (ITB), for the two institutes was when built
there earlier but unlike ITK fund so that the fund will first new build
facilities so
the ITB and ITS have direct physical development needs at the time,
when the ITB area of land only 180 ha, while ITK asked to have doubled
from ITB ie 300 ha.''
I say not enough because ideally in developed countries, including
Indonesia, the average graduating engineers and other experts as much as
20 thousand from the number of students who graduated that year but we
can not as you wish it,'' said the former Rector of ITS Surabaya.The
government has targeted a graduate engineer in 2015 could reach 15
percent, up 4 percent, the current ITS passed only 4 thousand / per year
and only 6 thousand ITB graduates / year means new 10 thousand, so it's
still less than 10 thousand, he explained .To
achieve that, it hopes to offer three scenarios ranging from the
expansion of technological institutes, private menegerikan step into the
country, until the new set up, ITK is in order to meet that number and
this year we created an Institute of Technology in Sumatra.Balikpapan

ITK development directly in front of minister of education and culture

elements, including former Balikpapan Mayor Imdaad Hamid and Tjutjup Suparna, explains the success of local government preparedness plan."The
initial capital for the acquired land amounting to Rp 6.5 billion (USD
1.5 billion from the provincial budget and Rp 5 billion from the city
budget), existing utilities and infrastructure, water supply and
electricity Kariangau will be available along with the construction of
power plants 200 MW Industrial Area Kariangau (CIC), for which we are ready to accept the challenge, "said Rizal Effendi.Respond
to this ability, the Minister M Nuh directly ask certainty and
readiness Balikpapan City Government and the Provincial Government of
East Kalimantan related physical development and other permits."While
licensing is our PT from the Ministry of Education and Culture, I
wanted to take care of local government licensing, ranging from IMB and
all the necessary set up (ITK) is," he said.The
idea of the establishment of ITK matured through Focus Group
Discussion (FGD) by the ITS team last November, the team is making
feasibility study (FS) to conclude eight majors to be established in the
first phase, consisting of mechanical engineering, electrical,
industrial, civil engineering, and environment
and there are other areas such as science, mathematics, physics, and
chemistry, when the first batch is expected to follow as many as 320
students in which each department of 40 people with 6 professors and
will certainly continue to grow., explained the Director-General of
Education High Djoko Santoso.It
is said Djoko, after agreement on the establishment of ITK MoU between
the central and local, the ball is now in the hands of local (municipal
government and the provincial government Balikpapan East Kalimantan)

hope that, once completed the physical planning can also be directly
run, if I could get a thousand hectares wants," he said.Governor

before the physical building ITK stands, the first batch of students can
be deposited first enrolled at another campus, I've talked to Mr. Wali

to Germany so that if the building is completed in late 2013, ITK has
been able to operate, but he hopes that if ITK courses tailored to the
needs of East Kalimantan aka tone then certainly in oil refineries,
coal, oil, and more.
