The Mechanical Engineering Department at Institut Teknologi Bandung (ITB) was established in 1941 during the Dutch colonial rule as the first mechanical engineering program in Indonesia. The Master's Degree program in mechanical engineering was added to the Study Program much later in 1987. Both programs (Sarjana and Master's Degree Programs) have been awarded an 'A' grade from the Indonesian National Accreditation Board/Badan Akreditasi Nasional (BAN). However, over the years participation in the Master's Degree program has been low, with an average of less than 20 students per year. The stringent application requirements to enter the program and the lucrative salary packages offered by the industries might be the most common reasons why people refrain from pursuing a Master's Degree that requires them to spend a 1.5 to 3 years of study time. Since 2008, two new approaches have been introduced into the Master's Degree program. First, the Fasttrack Program, which allows high-achieving students to accomplish both the Sarjana and Master's Degree programs in 5 years. The other is called Credit Earning Activity (CEA), which allows industrial employees to attend the Master's Degree program without having to retire or take a leave from their work. This paper discusses the experiences and lessons learned from 25 years of administering the Master's Degree Program in Mechanical Engineering at ITB. Several efforts have been made to improve the quality of the program.
