Focus on Urban and Digital Logistics
The Bachelor’s Program in Logistics Engineering has been designed with a specialization in urban and digital logistics, addressing contemporary challenges such as urban distribution systems, multimodal transportation integration, warehouse and inventory management, e-commerce logistics, and last-mile delivery.
The curriculum comprises 146 credit units, covering fundamental subjects in mathematics, science, information technology, and engineering before progressing to specialized courses in logistics system planning, supply chain management, data analytics, artificial intelligence, logistics automation, information systems, urban and multimodal transportation, and warehouse and inventory management.
Students may further develop their expertise through elective courses, including Humanitarian Supply Chain, Halal Logistics, Cold Chain, Healthcare Logistics, Reverse Logistics, Freight Forwarding, Vehicle Routing, and Last-Mile Delivery Systems. The curriculum also incorporates experiential learning opportunities through the Impact Campus Program, including industry internships, research projects, entrepreneurship, student exchanges, humanitarian initiatives, and community service.
The program prepares graduates for three primary career profiles: Professional Logistics Engineer, Technopreneur, and Lifelong Learner. Graduates are expected to be capable of designing, managing, evaluating, and optimizing technology-driven logistics systems while fostering innovation and entrepreneurship in logistics and supply chain management.
Teaching and learning activities will be strengthened through partnerships with government agencies, state-owned enterprises, private companies, logistics service providers, manufacturing industries, professional associations, and international institutions. These collaborations will support curriculum alignment, internship opportunities, practitioner involvement in teaching, joint research, and the development of solutions to national logistics challenges.
The Logistics Engineering program is also envisioned as a center for advancing knowledge and innovation in smart and sustainable logistics. Technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), big data, and logistics information systems will play a central role in preparing graduates to meet the evolving demands of the logistics industry.
The establishment of the Bachelor’s Program in Logistics Engineering further reinforces UPNVJ’s academic transformation agenda by providing technology-driven, student-centered education that is closely aligned with industry needs. The initiative supports the university’s strategic priorities of enhancing educational quality, strengthening graduate competencies, expanding industry collaboration, and generating meaningful societal impact.(www.upnvj.ac.id)
