In 2003, departments / programs of study in Electrical Engineering Electrical Energy and Electrical Engineering, both S1 and D3 were merged into one department / program of study, each of which has a concentration of 2 concentrations of Electricity and Energy Engineering Electrical Engineering Concentration. Later in the year 2004 Department / Electrical Engineering courses developed with open concentration and Computer Engineering in 2004 so Informatika.dengan FTI has 9 departments / programs of study in Mechanical Engineering S1, S1 Electrical Engineering, Industrial Engineering S1, S1 Chemical Engineering, Textile Technology S1, Sugar and Food Engineering S1, D3 Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering Industrial Engineering D3 and D3. While FTSP has 8 departments / programs of study, namely S1 Civil Engineering, Architecture S1, S1 Water Resources Engineering, Engineering Planning S1, S1 Geodesy, S1 Environmental Engineering, Civil Engineering Geodesy D3 and D3.
In 2000, ITN opened Postgraduate Studies (S2) Master of Engineering based on the Decree of the Director General of Higher Education (DIKTI DG) with two No.75/Dikti/Kep/2000 Study Program of Industrial Engineering Program Management Concentration Industrial and Engineering Program Civil Construction Management Concentration.
