Center for Industrial Engineering began from the Inter-University Center Engineering Science of ITB (PAU-IR ITB), which was established in 1985 and is organizationally under the management of DIKTI - DEPDIKBUD. But, then, since 1997, PAU-IR ITB management submitted to the ITB and followed with the name of the PAU-IR-ITB to Inter-University Research Center for Engineering Science ITB (PPAU-IR-ITB), which is structurally located under coordination of Research Institute (LP) of ITB. In 2003, PPAU-IR ITB again experienced the organization structure changing, the status changed to the Research Group under the coordination of 3 (three) research centers, includes the Research Center for Natural Resources and Environmental Conservation, Center for Research of Communication and Information Technology. PPAU name changed to Research Group of Geotechnical Science and Engineering (KPP-IR&G ITB) and is expected to run integrated and applied research.
