About IBE
At the beginning of 2015, Dr. Indriati Bisono had a dream. She envisioned a new world where Indonesian
graduates (in particular from Industrial Engineering at Petra Christian University) could work in an
International setting. She believed with a right education, those dream can be achieved. She pitched
the idea to Prof. Dr. Rolly Intan, then the Rector of Petra Christian University, and other Faculties
of Industrial Engineering Department to create a program that produced T-shaped engineer.
