Kalimantan Institute of Technology (Indonesian: Institut Teknologi Kalimantan, abbreviated as ITK) is a technological-focused public university based in Balikpapan, East Kalimantan, Indonesian.[2][3][4]

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.[2][5] At the time, East Kalimantan 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.[2][6] 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.[2][7] In 2014, ITK officially became a public university (Indonesian: Perguruan Tinggi Negeri) and by 2015, ITK started operating from its Balikpapan campus.[2][8]

Logo and philosophy

The logo of the university consists of two aspects, each with their 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 holding an opened book, referring to the importance of scientific knowledge.[9]
