The Bandung Institute of Technology or Institute of Technology, Bandung ((インドネシア語:Institut Teknologi Bandung), abbreviated as ITB) is a state, coeducational research university located in Bandung, Indonesia. Established in 1920, ITB is the oldest technology-oriented university in Indonesia. ITB was considered the top choice among Indonesia's high school students in 2006 and has been credited as one of the most "prestigious" universities in Indonesia, together with University of Indonesia, and Gadjah Mada University. Sukarno, the first president of the Republic of Indonesia, earned his engineering degree in civil engineering from ITB. More than that, B. J. Habibie, the third president of Indonesia also graduated with engineering degree in mechanical engineering from ITB. The university cultivates professional and social activities by supporting its students' unions, the student government councils that exist in every department. Each students' union has its own distinctly designed jacket that, among other traditions, serves as part of its member identity. There are also a number of student activity units/clubs supporting ITB student interests in rounding out their educational experience. It is not uncommon that the students and alumni are identified by the clubs to which they belong (or used to belong) at ITB, in addition to their class year and major. The university is a member of LAOTSE, an international network of leading universities in Europe and Asia exchanging students and senior scholars. Until 2015, ITB had some programs been internationally accredited from an independent United States of America accrediting institution, Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology, where ITB is the only public university in Indonesia with this particular international accrediting institution. The seven study programs are Electrical Engineering, Informatics, Chemical Engineering, Engineering Physics, Industrial Engineering, Ocean Engineering, and Environmental Engineering. ITB's march "Mars ITB" and hymn "Hymne ITB" were arranged by a former professor, Prof. Dr. Sudjoko Danoesoebrata. ==Historical Background== ITB traces its origin to ''de Technische Hoogeschool te Bandoeng (THB)'' which was established by the Dutch colonial administration to meet the needs of technical resources in Dutch East Indies. It was opened as a branch of Delft Institute of Technology. The school building was designed in 1918 by a Dutch architect named Henri Maclaine Pont, who are inspired by Indonesian vernacular architecture and blending it with modern elements.〔(The quest for the ultimate architecture Indonesia in the late colonial period ), pac-nl.org〕 When the school opened its door for the first time on July 3, 1920, it only had one department namely 'de Faculteit van Technische Wetenschap' (Faculty of Technical Science) and one academic major of 'de afdeeling der Weg en Waterbouw' (the department of Road and Water resources engineering). During the Japanese occupation in 1942-1945, the institute was renamed ''Kōgyō Daigaku'' (工業大学, 'Industrial University'). When Indonesia declared its independence the campus was renamed "Sekolah Tinggi Teknik" (STT) (Technic high school) in 1945. However a year later the Netherlands returned to Indonesia and took directorship of the campus, it was used as ''"Nood-Universiteit van Nederlandsch Indië"'' (emergency university of Dutch East Indies). Later in 1947 the campus housed the ''Faculteit van Technische Wetenschap'' (faculty of engineering) and ''Faculteit van Exacte Wetenschap'' (faculty of science) which is under ''Universiteit van Indonesië'' (later University of Indonesia). In 1950 after the Netherlands left Indonesia, the university became faculty of engineering and faculty of natural sciences, under University of Indonesia. On March 2, 1959, the 2 faculty of University of Indonesia in Bandung was declared a separate academic entity. On Government Regulation (Peraturan Pemerintah) No. 155/2000, ITB was declared a Legal Enterprise (Badan Hukum). Bandung Institute of Technology was founded for higher learning in natural sciences, technologies, and fine arts. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bandung Institute of Technology」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
