Sepuluh Nopember Institute of Technology (Indonesian: Institut Teknologi Sepuluh Nopember, lit. 'Tenth of November Institute of Technology'; abbreviated as ITS) is a national public university located in Surabaya, East Java, with a strong emphasis on scientific, engineering, and vocational education system. Located on 180-hectares green area, ITS is home to more than 1,000 faculty members and over 20,000 undergraduate and graduate students.

ITS is ranked 1st in Indonesia and 64th in the world based on the Times Higher Education (THE) Impact Ranking 2021, which reflects to its strong commitment to support the UN's Sustainable Development Goals under the comprehensive platform of ITS Smart Eco Campus.[7] From the Widya Wahana Project, Indonesia's first solar-powered car, to the Jalapatih Project, Indonesia's first solar-powered ship, ITS is growing as a national powerhouse for green technology and pioneering clean energy innovation in Indonesia, the largest Muslim-populated country in the world.[8][9] The institute launched and operated Indonesia's first electric bus in 2014 and Indonesia's first teaching industry in automotive (GESITS) that produces electric scooter for national commercial market in 2017 in order to transform Indonesia's fossil-based transportation fuel into the sustainable green technology.[10][11] The continuous inclusion of student activism in its curriculum has been substantial for making ITS the most impactful university in Indonesia; social engagement in solving environmental issues through national or international competition is formally rewarded in a credit-based evaluation system as part of its integrated character-building curriculum.

The Indonesian second-oldest public technological institute covers 33 undergraduate programs, six vocational study programs, 20 master programs, 15 doctoral programs, and 20 International Undergraduate Programs (IUP). The institute has established seven programs with international accreditation (IABEE and ABET) and 16 programs with the AUN-QA international certification, with more than 360 international partner-institutions in 52 countries. ITS has been expanding its educational disciplines beyond sciences and engineering into fields such as arts, business management, and development studies. With two Indonesian best polytechnics, Electronic State Polytechnic (PENS) and Shipbuilding State Polytechnic (PPNS), operate independently in the same area as ITS' main campus in Sukolilo, ITS has been continuously transforming the City of Surabaya as a national powerhouse for advanced technological innovation, impactful scientific and engineering research, and best vocational education.

History

Early years (20th Century)

ITS was founded as an humble technical college on November 10, 1957. In its early years, Angka Nitisastro, a medical doctor who became the first Rector of ITS, announced the student registration from his clinic. Following the suggestion of Indonesian Foreign Minister Ruslan Abdulgani (1914-2005), the establishment charter of ITS was signed by Sukarno (1901-1970), the first President of Republic of Indonesia. Both of them were born in Surabaya, which shared emotional connection with the city. In his speech, President Sukarno emphasized on the Spirit of Sepuluh Nopember, which refers to the legendary heroes who fought against colonialism and imperialism in the Battle of Surabaya on November 10, 1945, and annually being commemorated as Heroes Day in Indonesia. Initially, the small Sepuluh Nopember Technical College had only two departments, Civil Engineering and Mechanical Engineering. Three years later, ITS expanded by opening Electronic Engineering, Naval Architecture and Shipbuilding Engineering, and Chemical Engineering departments.

In 1965, ITS developed two more faculties, Architectural Engineering and the Faculty of Natural Sciences. In 1965, despite of socio-political crises in Indonesia, ITS had established seven faculties: Faculty of Civil Engineering, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, Faculty of Chemical Engineering, Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Faculty of Naval Architecture and Shipbuilding Engineering, and Faculty of Natural Science. In 1972, the campus of the Faculty of Civil Engineering was relocated to Jl. Manyar 8 Surabaya; the ITS campuses was separated. In the late of 1975, the Faculty of Architectural Engineering and Faculty of Natural Science were relocated to Jl. Cokroaminoto 12A, Surabaya. With financial aid from ADB,[12] ITS started to build a large educational complex in eastern Surabaya, 1977.

In the early 1980s, reorganization took place in ITS, and the former faculties were downgraded into departments and merged into common discipline faculties. Hence the new ITS organization comprises four faculties: the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, Faculty of Industrial Technology, Faculty of Civil Engineering and Planning, and the Faculty of Marine Technology.[13] In 1988, ITS established its first polytechnic branch, Shipbuilding Polytechnic of Surabaya. This was followed by the second, Electronic Engineering Polytechnic of Surabaya.[13]

New Development (21st Century)

In 2001, as a response to the visionary speech of President Abdurrahman Wahid in front of the faculties, ITS introduced a faculty of information technology consisting of two departments: Informatics Engineering and Information Systems. Two Indonesian leading polytechnics; Electronic State Polytechnic (PENS) and Shipbuilding State Polytechnic (PPNS) now operate independently on the same area at ITS' main campus in Sukolilo, a region in the eastern part of the City of Surabaya, East Java, that serves as a national center for advanced technological innovation in robotics and artificial intelligence, shipbuilding and marine engineering, clean and renewable energy, and smart city.

Today, ITS has three campus areas: Cokroaminoto, Manyar, and Sukolilo as the largest educational complex. In 2013, as a technological institute founded by a medical doctor, Angka Nitisastro, ITS marks its engagement to the advanced medical research by graduating its first doctoral graduate on medical engineering, Ingrid Nurtanio, lecturer at University of Hassanuddin.[14] Muhammad Nuh initiated Indonesia's first undergraduate program Biomedical Engineering in 2007, which historically reconnect ITS to its early years when the newly born institute was led by a medical doctor, Angka Nitisastro.
