    Abstract

    This study explored the role of computer science in advancing sustainable infrastructure in Indonesia, aligning with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). As the country grapples with rapid urbanization, environmental challenges, and disaster resilience, emerging technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), big data, the Internet of Things (IoT), and blockchain present innovative solutions. This research examined the studies using the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) from the past five years that focus on the application of computer science in sustainable infrastructure development in Indonesia. The study highlights contributions that align with the UN SDGs through a structured process of identifying, evaluating, and synthesizing relevant findings. Key findings reveal the potential of AI-powered smart grids, IoT-based environmental monitoring, and predictive analytics for disaster management. However, challenges such as infrastructure disparities, cybersecurity risks, and regulatory gaps remain significant barriers to adoption. The study emphasizes the need for more significant investment, stronger policies, and cross-sector collaboration to accelerate technology integration. By merging computer science with sustainability strategies, Indonesia can enhance infrastructure resilience, drive economic growth, and strengthen environmental protection. This research provides policy recommendations and insights for future studies, advocating a technology-driven approach to sustainable development. © School of Engineering, Taylor’s University.

    FEB UNIKOM Holds AI-Based Business Idea Prototyping Workshop to Accelerate the Implementation of the “AI for Business” Curriculum

    BANDUNG, UNIKOM — The Faculty of Economics and Business (FEB) of Universitas Komputer Indonesia (UNIKOM) continues to strengthen the implementation of the AI for Business Curriculum through the Sandboxing Workshop: Prototyping Business Ideas with AI. The event was held on Thursday, January 8, 2026, on the 10th floor of the Smart Building UNIKOM and was attended by the academic community within FEB UNIKOM who are directly involved in the AI Sandboxing ecosystem. The workshop was designed as a structured practice space to bridge the concept of learning with real experiments and implementation.

    Also present at the event were the Heads of Study Programs at FEB UNIKOM, Sandbox AI lecturers and instructors, and Sandbox AI for Business student participants. The presence of these various roles reflects a strong academic synergy in building a practice- and innovation-based learning ecosystem.

    The coordinator of Sandboxing AI for Business Curriculum of FEB UNIKOM, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Isniar Budiarti, S.E., M.Si., in her opening remarks stated that the sandboxing approach allows lecturers and students to develop prototypes of artificial intelligence-based business ideas in a systematic, applicable, and contextual manner in line with the needs of the business world.

    Meanwhile, Dean of FEB UNIKOM, Prof. Dr. Siti Kurnia Rahayu, S.E., M. Ak., Ak., CA., emphasized the importance of consistency in overseeing the implementation of the AI for Business Curriculum so that it does not stop at the conceptual level. She stated that sandboxing is a strategic instrument to ensure that the integration of AI in learning, research, and community service runs focused and collaborative and produces a real impact on the development of graduate competencies.

    Deputy Vice Rector IV, Adam Mukharil Bachtiar, S.Kom., M.T., Ph.D., along with his team, was presented as the main speaker, where participants received direct guidance in the process of designing AI-based business idea prototypes, including problem formulation, solution exploration, and initial prototype development. The material was delivered applicably, emphasizing the relevance of artificial intelligence in contemporary business and entrepreneurship.

    In the tutorial session, participants were guided to develop prototypes in stages using Gemini AI. The process began with strengthening human critical thinking through problem definition, identification of target users, and analysis of market needs. Next, Gemini AI is used to refine the value proposition, including formulating key benefits, competitive advantages, and the rationale for choosing a solution. In addition, participants are also trained to develop targeted prompts to map alternative ideas, assess the feasibility of innovations based on trends and previous studies, and formulate key solution elements such as core features, usage scenarios, and data requirements. In the final stage, Gemini was used to help visualize ideas through initial mockup designs, simple user flows, and brief narratives explaining the prototype’s working mechanisms. Through these stages, participants not only generated business ideas but also took home initial prototype designs that were logical, tested, and ready for further development in the Sandboxing AI for Business ecosystem.

    Through this workshop, FEB UNIKOM reaffirms its commitment to providing economics and business education responsive to technological developments, while also encouraging the emergence of innovative business ideas that are oriented towards the responsible and sustainable use of artificial intelligence.

  • The 2026 New Student Admissions of UNIKOM Officially Open, Targeting 3,500 Students with a Digital and Inclusive System

    The 2026 New Student Admissions of UNIKOM Officially Open, Targeting 3,500 Students with a Digital and Inclusive System

    BANDUNG, UNIKOM – Universitas Komputer Indonesia (UNIKOM) has officially opened its Penerimaan Mahasiswa Baru (PMB), New Student Admissions, for the 2026 Academic Year with various strategic breakthroughs that affirm its position as a leading technology-based university. Unlike previous years, 2026 PMB has now opened earlier, starting on December 1, 2025, to accelerate services and improve the quality of the student selection process. 

    In an interview, Director of PMB of UNIKOM, Yudistira Soegoto, S.Kom., M.Kom., stated that UNIKOM is in an optimal state of readiness. The entire PMB process is supported by an integrated digital system that operates online, openly, fairly, and accountably. “For 2026, we are targeting to gain 3,000 to 3,500 new students. In terms of systems and services, UNIKOM is 100% ready, and PMB is already ongoing,” he said. 

    The earlier opening of PMB is a significant difference compared to previous years, which generally began in January or February. In addition to accelerating the timing, UNIKOM has also expanded access by providing various scholarships aimed at attracting potential students from diverse backgrounds. 

    Not only targeting new graduates in 2026, UNIKOM PMB is also open to graduates from previous years, including professionals who have worked but have not completed their undergraduate education, as well as bachelor’s degree graduates who wish to continue to master’s and doctoral levels. This approach reflects UNIKOM’s commitment to embracing all segments of society without age restrictions or graduation year gaps. 

    In terms of service innovation, UNIKOM continues to improve its registration system to make it more accessible and user-friendly, including for prospective students with disabilities. The PMB system is equipped with clear usage guidelines and support features for applicants with special needs. 

    The entire Ujian Saringan Masuk (USM), or Entrance Exam, process is conducted online, from registration and testing to the announcement of results. This flexibility allows prospective UNIKOM students from various regions, especially in West Java, throughout Indonesia, and even abroad, to participate in the selection process without having to come directly to the campus. 

    As a campus that has achieved excellent accreditation, UNIKOM continues to strengthen its academic competitiveness through a technology-based curriculum. One of UNIKOM’s main strengths is the implementation of compulsory cross-study program courses, including software, hardware, entrepreneurship, animation, and the development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) courses that are being prepared for implementation at all levels of education at UNIKOM, from Diploma (D3) to Doctoral (S3) programs. 

    Yudistira also stated, “We see AI as an unavoidable future necessity. Therefore, UNIKOM is preparing students to face global challenges through mastery of cutting-edge technology.” 

    Through the 2026 PMB, UNIKOM hopes to attract the best students who are not only academically excellent but also capable of bringing honor to their alma mater at the national and international levels. All PMB strategies are designed inclusively as part of UNIKOM’s long-term vision to strengthen its position as a pioneer in ICT-based higher education in Indonesia. (Directorate of Hms & Pro)
