Bandung Institute of Technology (ITB), was established on March 2, 1959. ITB's main campus is currently the location of the first engineering college in Indonesia. Although each higher education institution that started ITB has its own characteristics and mission, all of them have an influence on the development that led to the founding of ITB.

The history of ITB began in the early twentieth century, at the initiative of the ruling community at that time. The initial idea of its establishment was primarily intended to meet the needs of technical personnel which became difficult due to the disruption of relations between the Netherlands and its colonies in the archipelago, as a result of the outbreak of the First World War. De Techniche Hoogeschool te Bandung was established on July 3, 1920 with a faculty of Faculteit van Technische Wetenschap which only had one major de afdeeling der Weg en Waterbouw.

Encouraged by ideas and beliefs based on the spirit of the struggle for the Proclamation of Independence and insight into the future, the Indonesian Government inaugurated the founding of the Bandung Institute of Technology on March 2, 1959. In contrast to the dignity of the five previous technical tertiary institutions on the same campus, the Bandung Institute of Technology was born in an atmosphere full of dynamics carrying the mission of the service of science and technology, which rests on real life on earth for the life and development of an advanced and dignified nation.
