INFORMATICS MANAGEMENT
INFORMATICS MANAGEMENT STUDY PROGRAM
Introduction
The Indonesian government needs new efforts to restore economic condition. One of the efforts is shifting national economic priority from resource-based economy to knowledge-based economy. This shifting makes science and technology become very important in supporting Long-term Development Vision (LTDV) Year 2005-2025-“ Developed, Independent, and Just Indonesia”. To response this, many organizations have evolved to dynamic network. In a dynamic network organization, the role of Information Technology is very important.
The development of business and industry at this time will greatly affect the use of technology. The use of appropriate technology will produce faster, precise and appropriate information and more effective communication.
This condition will greatly influence the number of human resources who master current technology. Informatics Management covers concept to scientific development in programming and design.
Professional competence in science can be divided into 3 parts:
- The abilityto designandprogramappropriateapplication;
- The abilityto thinkorplan computerizedprocess approachby usingcomputeras the media for data human resourcesandnetwork;
- The abilityto develop up to date applicationfor better performance.
These comprehensive basics allow graduates to adapt concepts or ideas of new technologies. Present computerized era causes companies to employ more programming experts.
Informatics Management (DIV) study program prepares professional for IT. For this, Informatics Management Study Program utilizes competency-based curriculum.
Informatics Management is the combination of computer science and management by making the most of computer technology through logical processes. The focus of Informatics Management is computer programming, software for various applications in business, multimedia and graphics.
Computer and Information Science Curriculum in Indonesia is adapted from Computing Curricula. Computing Curricula guidelines for curriculum development in the field of computers is organized jointly by several international organizations in the field of computers such as AIS (the Association for Information Systems), ACM (the Association for Computing Machinery) and the IEEE-CS (the IEEE Computer Society). This curriculum provides guidance on the naming of courses and curricula along with the weighting in five majors, namely: Computer Engineering (CE, Computer Engineering), Computer Science (CS, Computer Science), Information Systems (IS, Information Systems), Information Technology (IT, Information Technology), and Software Engineering (SE, Software Engineering). In general in Indonesia, Department of Informatics Management is in Information Systems (Information Systems) group.
Department of Information Systems or Informatics Management (IS, Information Systems) produces graduates who are capable of analyzing the needs (requirements) and business processes (business process), as well as the design of information systems based on the goals of the organization.
