A preliminary study shows that Industrial Engineering department in Diponegoro University has some environmental problems, such as the lack of green open spaces, the high consumption of electrical energy and the unorganized waste management. The absence of a special institution to deal with the environmental conditions of the campus and the lack of a budget specifically allocated for campus sustainability are also specific problems in campus sustainability.

On the other hand, although the profile and environmental aspects are included in the rather high but needed a development and improvement in both aspects. Generally, Industrial Engineering department of Diponegoro University has 67.7% level of sustainability. It means the level of campus sustainability of Industrial Engineering Department of Diponegoro University is rather high (>60%). However, there are still necessity to improve some various aspects such as the lack of sewage treatment and garbage issues, hygiene and sanitation services, as well as maintenance of the campus website.
