Sriwijaya State Polytechnic

Sriwijaya State Polytechnic (in Indonesian: Politeknik Negeri Sriwijaya), abbreviated as Polsri is a public polytechnic located in Palembang and Banyuasin, which is the provincial capital and regency of South Sumatra, Indonesia. It was established on September 20, 1982.

History
As the Pilot Plant of the Polytechnic, Swiss Mechanic Polytechnic – ITB was born in 1976. The products of this Polytechnic are very encouraging because the alumni are used in industries. For this success, it is then proposed to plan the procurement of Polytechnic education in various regions in Indonesia.

Sriwijaya State Polytechnic, formerly called the Sriwijaya University Polytechnic, was officially opened on September 20, 1982. In the first phase, the Polytechnic only had 2 (two) Departments, namely the Department of Civil Engineering and the Department of Mechanical Engineering with a maximum capacity of 576 students and with educational facilities, staff teachers and curricula assembled nationally and centralized at the Bandung Polytechnic Education Development Center (PEDC).

In the second phase in 1987 the Polytechnic expanded the field of engineering and gave birth to the field of Commerce. The engineering fields developed were the Departments of Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, Telecommunication Engineering and Industrial Chemical Engineering, while the field of Commerce consisted of the Department/Study Program for Secretarial Accounting which began in the 1986 academic year. Then in 1992 the Department of Commerce developed into two majors, namely the Department of Accounting and Commerce Administration. The experts participating in developing the engineering field are from Swiss Contact while Tata Commerce is from Australia.

In 2002/2003 two new departments were developed, namely Computer Engineering and Informatics Management, whose establishment was stipulated through a letter from the Director General of Higher Education (Dirjen Dikti) number 2800/D/T/2001. In the 2004/2005 academic year, Sriwijaya State Polytechnic again developed a new department, namely the English Department of Tourism and Hospitality Business English Study Program based on permission from the Director General of Higher Education number 3818/D/T/2003.
