1. Higher Engineering Education Network IHE-Net Steering Committee

2. Outline n Work Force / Demand of IT in Indonesia. n Architecture of Academic Information Infrastructure (AII). n Internet Application in Indonesia. n Summary.

3. Internet User Profile n 40-60 million users. n >90% are university educated. n 70-80% are male. n US$40-60.000 / year. IT based business is run by educated people!

4. Demand of IT? KOMPAS, 4 March 1997: n 80.110.060 (100%) total work force. n 56.033.911 (69.95% ) in agriculture, forestry, fishery, mining - at the most SD. n 12.193.652 (15.2%) in trade, retail business & services - high school graduates. n 2.868.140 (3.5%) financial, private sector & services - post-high school graduates. n Approximately 60.000 (0.1%) are on Internet. Only small number is a potential IT user Only small percentage is in a competitive business

5. It is a shame... n Only 19% of high school graduate receiving higher education in Indonesia. n Only approx. 40 higher educational institutions connected to Internet. Mostly(more than half) through ITB. n Only 0.1% of the work force are in a competitive business environment. Strong demand for continuing education More than half via ITB Business Environment is not forcing people to be competitive?

10. Where is IHE-NET in the picture? n IHE-NET is in the application layer. n It focuses on the interaction of the educational society.

11. Basic Strategies n Try to use the existing infrastructure or build your own whenever possible. n Employed Qualified Human Resource. The most difficult task!

12. IHE-Net Strategies n Strategies in HEE-Net application layer development. n Strategies in legal framework to support HEE-Net. n Strategies in IT & Telecommunication infrastructure.

13. Purpose of IHE-Net n To promote the exchange of information and human resources among institutions and even individuals and realize the mutual benefits in the collaborating partners. n To enhance the quality and capability of engineering education by improving the teaching staff competence in teaching and research activities.

14. Purpose of IHE-Net Setup of information exchange networks n Education promotion. n Research activity promotion. n Teaching staff. n Event and publications.

15. Purpose of IHE-Net Education promotion n Standardization of the curriculum. n Student exchange programs. n Transfer of credits. n Faculty member exchange programs. n Exchange of class lessons by multimedia.

16. Purpose of IHE-Net Research activity promotion n Organization of an annual international seminar / workshop on the network. n Support for the participants to international seminars, conferences and symposiums. n Establishment of domestic academic societies.

17. Purpose of IHE-Net Research acitivies promotion con’t.. n Support for year-wise collaboration researches on a specific field or a subject. n Organization of a periodical international seminar, conference, or symposium on a specific field or a subject. n Support for research works at Japanese supporting universities.

18. Strategies in The Application Layer n First, one has to have some knowledge on the resources & expertise of the other parties. Web applications would be to perfect fit to it. many university administrators are using printed media (and most of the time difficult to ask for it) n Second, LMO doing “link & match”. Physical contact through seminars, workshops, conferences on various topics. should be followed by virtual contact through E-mail discussions through various mailing lists It will require sometime (might be 1-2 years) to get the results of such activities. n Third, use of multimedia technology. For example, we can do live broadcast of regular seminars through Multicast Backbone (MBONE) facilities in Internet. It has been done between Hong Kong University of Science & Technology (HKUST) and Institute of Technology Bandung (ITB) over our AI3 link n Fourth, mutual collaboration could be initiated by keeping a win-win situation among parties.

19. Strategies in Telecom Infrastructure n Educational institutions will rely on telco services for its telecommunication infrastructure. n Educational institution should run its own Internet operation on top of telco highways.

20. Summary n Internet would be one of the best media for building the required Indonesian human resources. n Internet is only a tool. n The key factor is on the qualified human resource employed.
