Sepuluh Nopember Institute of Technology, Public research university in Sukolilo, Surabaya, Indonesia
Sepuluh Nopember Institute of Technology is a public research university in the Sukolilo district of Surabaya, focusing on engineering and technical programs. The institution spreads across several sites with lecture halls, faculty buildings, research centers, and shared spaces for students from different fields.
The university was founded in 1957, starting with two engineering departments focused on civil and mechanical fields. Within three years, additional areas like electronics and shipbuilding joined to meet the growing industrial needs of the country.
The university takes its name from November 10, 1945, when local resistance against returning colonial forces began. This date appears throughout public areas of the campus, linking academic work to an important moment in national history.
The main entrance sits on Jalan Raya ITS in the northern part of Sukolilo, with pathways leading to different faculties and facilities. Visitors should note that the large grounds take time to cross on foot, and some areas may be restricted to students and staff.
Students have developed prototypes for the first solar-powered car and electric buses in Indonesia, now showcased at national and international technology competitions. These projects often emerge from teamwork across different departments, showing the hands-on approach to learning.
