This started back to the 20th century when the Dutch colonial government established De Technische Hoogeschool te Bandung (THS) on July 3, 1920, on a 30-hectare plot of land in Bandung. At that time, there was only one faculty, de Faculteit van Technische Wetenschap and only one major, namely de afdeeling der We gen Waterbouw.

Strategic Priorities
Course Campaign
Students are facing lots of chance in their study period of getting experience and knowledge from everywhere even from the other side of the world. This might be a big good for them, but sometimes it doesn't run in the right way. Their main obligation as a student for taking and attending classes seem decreasing in interest and the class just went uninteractively. Our first strategic priorities is building some attractive "advertisement" using social media, called Course Campaign. Teachers could directly promote their own course and is packed with "students-language and style" to motivate students and make them understand the relevancy between courses and the real world condition. Students should know the detail of things and objective of the courses are being given to them.
Jembatan Ilmu
We are making a platform where all of students can ask lots of information about courses they could take and all of the questions related to the courses could be answered by the lecturers directly, called Jembatan Ilmu. Interest is just not enough. Freshmen students are always in the good mood of attending class in their college and then somehow the spirit is going lower as they are living the campus life. So they should always be facilitated of getting new information of insight by having actual and intense discussion about the courses with everyone, their major friends, alumni, practitioner, or even their lecturer. We are providing the place to discuss of technical information and know deeper about their lecturer to motivate them to take and attend the courses.
Company Workshop
Students need the real proofing and statement from competent career person about the relevancy of real world case with the course that they are taken. We provide the place for students to interact with company and institution in form of workshop and seminar. Company gives ilustration about their real case and make it as problem and challenge to be solved by students. Students make design and solution in shape of prototype and then be rated by related lecturer and also company worker.
