Q: How do I register for the Food Engineering ITB?
Every year ITB opens new student admissions process through 3 ways, namely Seleksi Nasional Berdasarkan Prestasi (SNBP),
Seleksi Nasional Berdasarkan Tes (SNBT), and Seleksi Mandiri ITB.
Further information regarding the ITB student admission process can be accessed at the following link.
Q: Why can’t I find Food Engineering on the SNMPTN, SBMPTN, and Seleksi Mandiri ITB registration pages?
ITB implements Tahap Persiapan Bersama (TPB) system. In this system, first semester students are still parts of the faculty and will only be placed in the department in the second semester. Therefore, prospective students who are interested in the Food Engineering study program are required to register with the Fakultas Teknologi Industri (FTI) Sistem & Proses.
Q: What is the mechanism for selecting majors in the second semester of study?
The selection of study programs is carried out through a questionnaire which is carried out in 3 stages, namely at the beginning of semester 1 (admission of new students), the beginning of semester 2, and before the Final Examination for Semester 2. The selection is based on the order of choice of study program, first year academic achievement, and available capacity. The order of study programs taken is the order based on the last stage of the questionnaire. Students are not allowed to choose cross-campus majors for FTI Ganesha and FTI Jatinangor, so the choice of study programs for FTI Jatinangor is only Food Engineering Department and Bioenergy Engineering and Chemurgy Department.
Q: Are Food Engineering and Food Technology different?
The selection of study programs is carried out through a questionnaire which is carried out several times. Based on the study program choice questionnaire, at the end of 1st semester the majoring process is carried out according to the provisions based on the order of study program choice, first semester academic achievement, and available capacity. The order of study programs taken is based on the last stage of the questionnaire. Students are not allowed to choose cross-group majors, so the study program choices for FTI Sistem & Proses are Food Engineering, Bioenergy Engineering and Chemurgy, Chemical Engineering, and Physics Engineering.
Q: What knowledge do I need to prepare since high school (SMA) if I am interested in studying Food Engineering?
Food Engineering is a comprehensive science that requires basic Mathematics and Physics (especially to calculate energy requirements in food processing), Chemistry (to understand compounds in food and the changes that occur during processing), and Microbiology (to understand microbes which spoil food and food processes that require fermentation).
Q: What degree will you get after completing your education in Food Engineering?
Food Engineering ITB graduates will get the title of “Bachelor of Science or Sarjana Teknik” (S.T.) because this study is a branch of engineering science. In comparison, Food Technology graduates will earn the title of “Bachelor of Agricultural Technology or Sarjana Teknologi Pertanian” (S.T.P.).
Q: How long can I complete my undergraduate education in Food Engineering?
Undergraduate education in Food Engineering ITB is designed to be completed within 4 (four) years or 8 (eight) semesters.
Q: How much does it cost to study at Food Engineering ITB?
Information about UKT for each admission path can be accessed on the ITB new student admissions page (admission.itb.ac.id). In addition, there are various scholarships that ITB students can take advantage of, as listed on the following page.
Q: Does ITB Jatinangor campus have lower quality than Ganesha campus?
Absolutely not, the quality of education at ITB Jatinangor campus is the same as Ganesha campus and Cirebon campus. The learning facilities at Jatinangor campus are also very adequate and are not inferior in quality to Ganesha campus. In the Food Engineering Department, the laboratory facilities are adequate and consist of latest tools to support practical learning in laboratory and research activities as a final project. Lecturers who teach in Food Engineering are doctoral graduates from leading universities in Indonesia and abroad and have competencies that are in accordance with Food Engineering. Therefore, Food Engineering has obtained “UNGGUL” accreditation from BAN-PT, the same as other study programs on the Ganesha campus.
