What Korps Asisten Teknik Sipil (KATS) UGM does

Departemen Teknik Sipil dan Lingkungan (DTSL) is an academic department within the Faculty of Engineering at Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM), a public state university in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, that delivers higher education and applied research in civil and environmental engineering. The department operates seven program studios spanning undergraduate (Sarjana Teknik Sipil, Teknik Infrastruktur Lingkungan, Teknik Sumber Daya Air), master's (Magister Teknik Sipil, Magister Sistem dan Teknik Transportasi, Magister Teknik Pengelolaan Bencana Alam) and doctoral (Doktor Teknik Sipil) tracks, supported by seven specialized laboratories covering Structure, Hydraulics, Geotechnics, Transportation, Sanitary/Environmental, Building Materials, and Computing, plus an outdoor environmental research facility.

Its technology footprint centers on hands-on engineering research infrastructure rather than software products: a 1.5m x 1.5m shaking table rated to 3 tons for seismic testing, hydraulic actuators from 25 to 200 tons for structural cyclic testing, an open-channel hydraulic flume for water structure and sediment transport studies, and construction materials testing capabilities including Los Angeles abrasion and non-destructive testing. Research output translates into 18 granted patents, 8 simple patents, and 26 copyrights. DTSL does not sell AI, SaaS, or technology products.

The business model is academic: revenue is generated from tuition (the publicly disclosed IUP international undergraduate tuition is IDR 30,000,000 per semester, approximately USD 1,850), government subsidies, and ancillary research grants. DTSL serves approximately 1,300 enrolled students across all program levels, with a 4,500+ alumni network. Customer acquisition runs through UGM's centralized admissions portal (admissions.ugm.ac.id), multiple intake windows annually, plus the AUN/SEED-Net channel for ASEAN graduate students. The department is ranked #1 in Civil Engineering in Indonesia by Times Higher Education World University Rankings 2025 and holds "Unggul" (A) accreditation from BAN-PT and LAM Teknik, alongside IABEE accreditation under the Washington Accord.
