Friends of UNDIRA, the technology industry is currently experiencing incredibly rapid growth. Furthermore, with the use of integrated networks, communication and technology are now well-connected, leading to the formation of the Internet of Things (IoT).

Technological advancements have now spread to various fields and are no longer perceived as rigid. One world greatly influenced by IT is entertainment, and a particular favorite for Generation Z is the digital interactive world, commonly known as the video game industry.

The transformation of the entertainment industry through video games—from mere pastime to a global industry—has unlocked promising career doors. As a self-sustaining digital entertainment sector, this industry offers concrete and appealing professional paths, especially for Gen Z.

Informatics Engineering graduates can now not only develop software in the formal sector but can also expand their learning through passion projects that ultimately provide career opportunities and financial benefits.

The world of game development is an arena where artistic creativity converges with the science of informatics and computation. On one side, there is the creative vision that generates narratives, character designs, stunning visual worlds, and immersive audio. On the other side, there is the technical foundation that brings this vision to life through programming. Developers utilize logic, algorithms, and programming languages to build game mechanics, simulate physics, create Artificial Intelligence (AI) for enemies, and ensure smooth operation.

Some video games even allow open access for players who wish to create or modify game elements. We can see examples of this, UNDIRA friends, in games like Roblox, Minecraft, and CodeCombat.

To bridge these two worlds, industry professionals rely on various sophisticated software, engines, and tools that serve as their canvas and toolkit. Below are examples of the main software and engines that function as the operational base for the programs implemented in game development:

1. Python Programming Tools

2. C++

3. Unreal Engine

4. Unity

5. Roblox Studios

This combination of a solid technical skillset and a sharp creative vision is the main key to excelling in the current technology industry. This also creates opportunities for graduates of the Informatics and Computational Studies Program who are passionate about developing their creativity further using their IT knowledge.

Moreover, through these passion projects, the resulting interactive and massive works can also serve as a strong portfolio showcasing their expertise as skilled and creative programmers.

This commitment forms the foundation of the Informatics Engineering Study Program at Dian Nusantara University (UNDIRA). We are dedicated to producing graduates who not only master the fundamentals of coding and algorithms but also possess the courage to innovate and think out-of-the-box. Through a collaborative learning environment and a curriculum relevant to industry demands, we ensure every student is prepared to compete and make a positive impact.

Informatics Engineering Study Programme of UNDIRA also provide an up-to-date softwares and hardwares for students to learn the essentials and processes of coding.

Coding has become a staple of our world, especially in these times where many Tech related Industries have become the prevalent driving force of economy and humanity's advancements. Together with UNDIRA's Informatics Engineering, we can become the architects of a future digital world that is not only well-structured but also creative, innovative, and inspiring.
