The Electronic Engineering Polytechnic Institute of Surabaya (EEPIS), known in Indonesia as Indonesian : Politeknik Elektronika Negeri Surabaya (PENS) is a state vocational university located in Surabaya, East Java, Indonesia. The polytechnic was established in 1988 as part of a program in Sepuluh November Institute of Technology (ITS). PENS focused on vocation education in science and technology, especially engineering and applied sciences. [1] .

Since its inception, the institution has held several names. When it opened, it was the Politeknik Elektronika & Telekomunikasi. From 1992 to 1991 it was entitled Politeknik Elektronika Surabaya, at which time it came under the umbrella of Institut Teknologi Sepuluh Nopember. In 1996, it was retitled to Politeknik Elektronika Negeri Surabaya (PENS). [5]

After 24 years under the statute of Institut Teknologi Sepuluh Nopember, the institution is no longer a part of ITS. The transition year was 2012. Since then, EEPIS is independently separated from ITS and started to stand on its own statute.
