berapa sih biaya masuk ITB tahun 2011?berapa sih biaya total belajar di sana nantinya?
Jadi, biaya pendidikan di ITB ada dua:
1. Biaya pendidikan di muka (BPM). dibayar satu kali di awal masuk ITB.
    Besarnyamaksimal Rp55.000.000 (ada diskonnya juga lho. makanya baca sampai akhir ya)
2. Biaya pendidikan per semester (BPP). dibayar setiap awal semester kuliah.
    Besarnya Rp5.000.000/ semester.
__________ _________ _________ _________ _____
Waduh, kok mahal banget ya biayanya? ada gacaranya biar bisa bayar murah?
Hoho,, tentu ada sodara-sodara. Begini, ikutin tipsnya ya:
Ternyata kita bisa meminta diskon Biaya BPM yang 55juta itu, bahkan tersedia diskon 100% bagi lebih dari 600 orang. Begini caranya:
1. Download dan isi formulir permohonan diskon BPM di [link ini] atau di sini
2. Pada bagian permohonan subsidi, jangan lupa centang/pilih yang 25%, 50%, 75%, atau yang 100%
3. kirim formulirnya. Boleh lewat fax, email, atau pos, ke alamat:
    Loket Direktorat Pendidikan ITB
    Gd. CCAR ITB lt. 1
    Jl. Tamansari no. 64 Bandung 40116
    Telp.: 022-2508519, 022-4254016
    Faks.: 022-2508519
    E-mail: usmitb@pusat. itb.ac.id

3. Siapkan bukti-bukti yang mendukung. Bukti-bukti ini diserahkan saat pendaftaran mahasiswa baru nanti (setelah pasti diterima). Misalnya:
- Slip gaji orang tua (kalau ada. kalau ga ada bikin sendiri aja, tulis aja gaji yang kecil. hehe,, tapi jangan boong yah )
- Surat keterangan RT/RW daerah asal. Jadi berupa keterangan kalau keluarga tidak mampu membayar mahal untuk masuk ITB.
- Surat keterangan kondisi keluarga. Misalnya jumlah keluarga dan kondisi pekerjaannya. Lebih direkomendasikan bagi anda yang punya banyak adik-adik yang masih sekolah, jadi terlihat kalau tanggungan beban orang tua itu besar sekali.
4. Spesial: Bagi calon mahasiswa yang sejak awal hanya berminat untuk memilih Program Studi Astronomi (FMIPA), Program Studi Meteorologi (FITB), dan/atau Program Studi Oseanografi (FITB) dapat mengajukan permohonan Beasiswa Minat berupa subsidi 100% BPM. Untuk itu pemohon harus menyerahkan Formulir Pilihan Program Studi ITB yang dapat diunduh dari situs ini  paling lambat tanggal 24 Mei 2011, pukul 15.30 WIB. Formulir yang telah diisi lengkap dikirimkan melalui kantor pos, faksimili, e-mail, atau diserahkan sendiri ke alamat:

Faks.: 022-2508519
E-mail: usmitb@pusat. itb.ac.id
5. Kalau BPM sudah "beres", maka tinggal mencari beasiswa untuk membayar BPP. Di sini banyak tersedia beasiswa, misalnya beasiswa ITB untuk semua (BIUS  http://www.itbuntuk semua.com ).
6. Jangan lupa berdoa kepada Allah SWT agar diberikan rejeki lebih biar bisa kuliah di ITB. Syukur-syukur kalo ga perlu minta diskon biar masuk kampus itu, apalagi kalau bisa memberikan sebagian rezeki kita buat meringankan beban yang lain. Insya Allah pahala lho

Getting a scholarship for an overseas study is a competitive process. This is because many people like you want the scholarship, but not all can be awarded. The cholarship money is simply not enough to fund all at once. Also, the scholarship providers want to ensure that only the best, well prepared applicants are selected and so the money is spent rightly and efficiently to what it is intended for. So, you have to be a winner!
Lots of people have won scholarship. You hear this every time. But how have they done this good job? Are they luckier or more superior or intelligent than others? No, they are not! If you ask them about the winning secrets are, they may simply give you the following lists: things to prepare or consider before applying a scholarship.
Academic certificate and transcript
Soon after graduation, do not wait. Obtain your original academic certificate and transcript, and make some copies of them. You need to certify them and, remember, that people at university are some times going somewhere when you need their signatures. More importantly, you need to translate both your academic certificate and transcript. Check around, there maybe some people have done the same. This will ease the task. If not, they are yours anyway. When you are done, it is wise to get other people to see them. They may give you valuable inputs, even correcting misspelled course names. Again, you need signatures of dean and rector on the translated version of your academic certificate and record.
Research proposal
You need to decide earlier which study route you are going to undertake – course or research or both. If you prefer a course-based study, you do not need a proposal. But if you are going to do a research, you definitely need a research proposal.
Good research proposal require time and energy to construct. So it is always better to prepare it earlier. Basically, the proposal will not be much different to the one you have done previously in your research as part of your undergraduate study. This will include background, objective, problems or questions to answer, hypothesis, methodology, and references. These are the essences of a proposal.
When you are done with those basic requirements, ask suggestions from others. When the application is open, check if the scholarship provider requires a bit more to what you have prepared.
Letter from intended university and supervisors
Download application form from the university website and fill it before send it back to the university. The university will respond you and issue you with a letter of acceptance. You may indicate in the form that you will begin your study next year, waiting for a scholarship which you are now struggling for. Most likely they will issue you with a conditional acceptance. They will keep reissuing this until you succeed with your scholarship application.
While your are in the website, go to your targeted department or school to find your potential supervisor. Even, this needs to be done first before filling in a admission form. The reason you will not studying in this university unless you have got an academic staff willing to supervise you. So get their email address, and make contacts with them. In the first time, you just need to introduce yourself, mention your academic background and your research proposal, and ask if he/she is available to supervise you. If they are busy because there are many students already under their responsibilities, don’t panic. Ask him/her if they know people around there who are still able to take additional students.
The good with the letter from university and supervisor when you have them at hand is that you can attach them to your application form and present them to the interviewers. These letters will increase your chances of winning the scholarship because the interviewers will so impressed that you are better prepared and have taken more advanced steps compared to other candidates.

Furthermore, such a process can be adapted to be implemented into industry and is considered as a “green” process. In this PhD program, the development of multilayer coatings for particular protective application will be carried out. The link between coatings structure and their protective properties will be particularly emphasized. The PhD program will involve two different areas namely coating processing and material characterizations. The new category of protective coatings will be produced by plasma polymerization. Thus, this study will give us a deeper knowledge for the growth of plasma polymer films and also, on plasma nanocomposite coatings.

2 PhD positions in US electronics at MI Lab

In the coming years breakthroughs in ultrasound technology will cause major improvements of ultrasound image quality, and MI Lab wants to be in the international research front in this research area. The MI Lab activity includes research on transducer arrays, ultrasound probe electronics, miniaturization/ pocket-sized ultrasound, software beamforming, parallel imaging & compressed sensing, minimum diffractive wave imaging, model powered acquisition and new technology for flow imaging/quantificat ion, and will also include a transducer workshop. In 2011 we want to strengthen this group with 2 PhD students.

The first PhD project will to some extent depend on the master background and special interest and competence of the best applicant. However, our main priorities are within the areas of transducer hard-ware, soft-ware beamforming and pocket-sized ultrasound.

The second PhD project will have a main focus on design of integrated circuits to help us solve the problem of how to move the main bulk of the signal processing from the console computer to the ultrasound transducer assembly.

The application is to be sent via an online portal where there is additional information on the 2 positions available:
