History Of Itenas

Since 1984

Institut Teknologi Nasional (Itenas) is an institution of tertiary education located on P.H.H. Mustofa street no. 23, Bandung. Lying at the heart of the area which is easily accessed from various routes, the campus is considered strategic. Itenas is also dubbed as one of the most lively and fun campuses as it is surrounded by shopping centers, printings, and housing.

Institut Teknologi Nasional was founded by the Dayang Sumbi Educational Foundation. Itenas was originally an academy established on December 14, 1972 (based on the decree issued by Dayang Sumbi Educational Foundation Management Board No. 01/Kep/DS/1972) under the name of the Akademi Teknologi Nasional (Atenas). The academy consists of four departments i.e., Architecture, Civil, Electrical, and Engineering. At that time, Prof. R. Soetodjo, Ir. was appointed as the Director of Atenas.

Atenas transformed into Itenas at the same time with the appointment of R. Mansoer Wiratmadja, Ir. as the Rector of Itenas (based on the decree issued by the Management of Dayang Sumbi Educational Foundation No. 01/Kep/DS/1984 dated January 3, 1984)

Up until now, Itenas continues to grow as one of the best tertiary education institutions at both national and international levels. In 2019, Itenas was ranked among the best 100 universities listed by the Ministry of Research, Technology, and Higher Education by stepping up the ladder to the 70th position.

The black square is a symbol of multi-talents and reflects the developing potential, problem-solving ability, skill of communication and collaboration, and the capability to self-adjust to rapid changes.

Meanwhile, the white circle inside the black square is a symbol of perpetual continuity in pursuing knowledge to escalate scientific ability and professionalism for the sake of society’s welfare.

The black equilateral triangle situated at the center of the white circle is the embodiment of solidity, the reflection of a cultivated and strong personality, high moral and ethical values, also fighting spirit and independence.

For the color scheme, white is associated with purity, cleanliness, and neutrality. This means the campus world must be pure and honest without taking sides in implementing education. Further, black symbolizes eternity as well as immensity, with the understanding that science has higher value and is far more eternal than matter.
