Ibrahim Sultan Polytechnic (PIS; Malay: Politeknik Ibrahim Sultan) is a polytechnic in Pasir Gudang, Johor, Malaysia.[6]

The polytechnic specialises in engineering, communication design and hospitality[7], and offers 2-year skills certificate, 2-year diploma and 3-year degree programmes. PIS is organised into six departments: Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Visual Design & Communication, Tourism & Hospitality, Science & Computer Science, and General Studies.

History

[edit]

PIS started as the Johor Bahru Polytechnic in February 1998 at the site of the former Johor Bahru Technical Secondary School. Planning for the polytechnic began during the 7th Malaysian Plan, in collaboration with the World Bank[8].

In July 1998, PIS moved into its current 100 acres campus in Plentong, Johor Bahru, which was completed at a cost of RM155.52 million.[8]

In December 2011, Johor Bahru Polytechnic was renamed Ibrahim Sultan Polytechnic, in honour of the Sultan of Johor.[9]

Between 2010 and 2015, PIS was upgraded twice by the Ministry of Higher Education, first into a Premier Polytechnic in 2010 and then a Premier Polytechnic (University Status) in 2015. As a Premier Polytechnic with University Status, PIS has greater autonomy than conventional polytechnics to determine its pedagogy and syllabus.
