Agro-Industrial Technics undergraduate program obtained international accreditation from ETAC (Engineering Technology Accreditation Commission) ABET, the United States starting in October 2011. Agro-Industrial Technics has an A-rank accreditation for S1, S2 and S3 programs.

Employment

National and multinational industries, technopreneurs, research institutes and university development, banking and financial institutions, government institutions.

Vision

To be an outstanding and internationally recognized educational institution that provides qualified engineering and management, and environmental management and technology.

Mission

The DAT's missions are to carry out qualified education, research, and community service in the field of agro-industrial technology and management, focusing on:

1. Continuous improvement in educational quality including human resources, physical facility, and services in order to produce qualified graduates.
2. Strengthening research link and match between university and industry in order to develop agroindustrial, science, and cutting-edge technology.
3. Intensification and extending the community development activities emphasizing on the entrepreneurship development for small and medium scale agro-industry.

The Curriculum and the Divisions

The curriculum prepares graduates with the ability to design, develop, implement, control, evaluate, and improve the system performance of sustainable agroindustry, through an integrated approach of the transformation process, system engineering, industrial management, and environmental aspects to increase the added value of agricultural/bio-based resources and their derivatives. The university set the mandate of the DAT which is "the development of science and technology in the field of agro-industry including industrial engineering and management, process and bioprocess technology, and technical and industrial environmental management".

The DAT is supported by seven divisions (Scientific Laboratories) which have specific mandate and scope, both in the field of education, research, and community development. The seven divisions namely,

1. Industrial System Engineering
2. Process Technology
3. Bioindustry
4. Industrial Business and Application
5. Packaging, Storage, and Transportation System
6. Quality Control
7. Industrial Environmental Management and Engineering

Objectives

General

The classrooms are generally equipped with whiteboards, screens, and LCD projectors. Their capacities range from 30 up to 200 seats.

Student Activities

The Department of Agroindustrial Technology has a student organization named Himalogin (Himpunan Mahasiswa Teknologi Industri). Himalogin conducts or arranges student activities which helps them to develop in academic or non-academic fields. The examples of those activities namely,

FORAGRIN (Forum Agroindustri Indonesia)

Agroindustry Indonesia Forum (FORAGRIN) is a forum that consists of students who are involved in the field of Agricultural Industrial Technology. The focus of FORAGRIN raises further problems and prospects of Agroindustry as an active solution to build Indonesia with its Agriculture.

Hi on Radio

Gives information related to agroindustry and the DAT by using radio as the publication media.

Festival of Agroindustry

A series Of national activities related to the introduction and development of agroindustries, with forms of scientific writing competition at high school and university level, and university level debate competitions.

Semangat Desa Agroindustri (ATSIRI)

A program developed by Himalogin member students to apply agro-industry knowledge by way of counseling and forming business partnerships with target villages to develop existing commodities in the Village into value-added products.

Admission

There are two main ways of student admission National Invitation (SNMPTN/Seleksi Nasional Masuk Perguruan Tinggi Negeri) and National Examination/Testing (SBNMPTN/Seleksi Bersama Nasional Masuk Perguruan Tinggi Negeri).
