History

ITK was created in 2012 as part of the Master Plan for Acceleration and Expansion on Indonesia's Economic Development (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. [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, and, by 2015, ITK started operating from its Balikpapan campus. [2] [8]

The logo of the university consists of two aspects, each with their own meaning:

  1. Two hornbills refers to balance and consistency in creating a generation of achieving students that can contribute to society.
