Abstract

Grouping students' fields of expertise in higher education is an important issue that can provide significant benefits for students and educational institutions. STMIK Kaputama is one of the universities that has students with various fields of expertise, but the absence of data that informs the field of expertise of students is very unfortunate. Research data was obtained through questionnaires distributed to students, which included information about study programs, Grade Point Average (GPA), and areas of expertise. Clustering analysis was conducted using Matlab software to validate and implement the clustering results. The results show that the K-Means algorithm is effective in grouping students into clusters that have similar characteristics. The first cluster consists of students with expertise in programming and database, the second cluster focuses on students with networking expertise, and the third cluster includes students with various combinations of expertise.This study also found a tendency that students with certain expertise have a higher GPA than students with other expertise.
