Based on this mission, TUT targets new graduates from technical colleges and high schools for enrollment. TUT carries out research in technological science with an emphasis on postgraduate study, fostering the new generation of engineers who will find practical solutions to the challenges of tomorrow. While focusing on science, TUT nevertheless emphasizes the importance of social context. Accordingly TUT strives to promote social diversity and works to enhance collaboration with the local community. Through these efforts, TUT strives to be a top- class engineering university that is open to the world. University seal As part of the 20th anniversary commemoration, a public contest was held to select the design for a new university seal. Using our University initials (T.U.T.) as a motif, this seal energetically expresses the vitality and freshness of our students’ efforts in research and practical innovation in the form of cresting waves.

While aiming to be a world class technical university in conducting practical research Inauguration of the first president Sakaki Yoneichiro and deploying technology in the real world we are also strengthening epartmets partnerships with the local community and industries, emphasising the 1977 Commencement of Undergraduate Courses: Energy Engineering, Electrical and Electronic importance of social diversity. Engineering, Information and Computer Sciences, Materials Science, Architecture and Civil Sakaki Yoneichiro Engineering So what is our education and research mission? Put simply, it is to produce superior students, achieve excellent research results, and contribute to the local 1978 Inaugural entrance ceremony ampus map community. To do this, we must ensure the health of our students and staff, who are the driving force of the university. Through our high energy and 1980 Commencement of Master’s Course in Graduate School of Engineering determination, I believe we can cultivate science, technology, and capable 1984 Inauguration of the second president Honda Namio individuals that can change the world. The university accepts students who are skilled in creating things in addition to conventional specialist fields, and will 1986 Commencement of Doctoral Course in Materials System Engineering and Systems and taff continue to strengthen technologies in fields such as sensor technology, IoT/AI, Information Engineering within the Graduate School of Engineering Honda Namio and robotics, along with cross-sectional and cutting edge CPS (Cyber Physical Systems) technology. The result will be a scintillating university that will lead the 1987 Commencement of Doctoral Course in Integrated Energy Engineering within the Graduate world in education and research. School of Engineering President In order to develop these activities, which have continued since the tatistics 1988 Establishment of Faculty of Information and Computer Sciences at the undergraduate level Terashima Kazuhiko establishment of the university, we created the TUT Plan 2020. This plan has five challenges: creating a multicultural, global campus; developing human resources 1990 Inauguration of the third president Sasaki Shinichi Profile for the creation of innovation through science and technology; enhancing 1982 1993 Establishment of Faculty of Ecological Engineering research capabilities by supporting research covering diverse areas and Sasaki Shinichi Completed PhD at Kyoto University Graduate School establishing flagship research; creating knowledge and science and technology (Doctor of ore Engineering) iformatio 1995 Reorganization of Doctoral Courses in Graduate School of Engineering: Establishment of April 1994 that contribute to building a safe and secure society; and developing young Professor, Toyohashi University of Technology Mechanical and Structural System Engineering, Functional Materials Engineering, Electronic human resources and enhancing the vitality of education and research by April 2012 and Information Engineering, Environmental and Life Engineering Vice President, Toyohashi University of Technology offering an attractive HR system. We are now seeing steadily improving results (until March 2018) as a partner school in the Top Global University Project. Going forward, we will April 2018 1996 Inauguration of the fourth president Goto Keishi Exective Trustee/Vice President, Toyohashi University of accelerate our efforts to globalize by actively accepting foreign exchange Goto Keishi Technology (until March 2020) students and sending students abroad. However, globalization can also bring 2000 Commencement of Master’s Courses given in English April 2020 President, Toyohashi University of Technology about global crises. The spread of the novel coronavirus is one such example. The university is being proactive to achieve Sustainable Development Goals 2002 Inauguration of the fifth president Nishinaga Tatau (SDGs) through addressing shared issues facing the people of the world in order 2004 Toyohashi University of Technology established as a “National University Corporation” to create a safe and secure society. 2008 Inauguration of the sixth president Sakaki Yoshiyuki To cultivate innovative human resources that will forge a path for the future, it is crucial to provide a liberal arts education that Nishinaga Tatau includes sociology and the humanities in addition to technical knowledge. Our university provides such an education across each 2010 Reorganized Undergraduate and Master’s Courses: Mechanical Engineering, Electric and undergraduate department through to graduate school level. “We will take a hard look not only at the things which are immediately in Electrical Information Engineering, Computer Science and Engineering, Environmental and front of us, but will examine and deliberate on them from a long-term perspective. We will look at and deliberate things not just from Life Sciences, Architecture and Civil Engineering one side, but from a diverse perspective and as a whole. We will examine and deliberate the core elements of an issue, not just the trivial details.” These are crucial principles that apply to thinking not only about scientific or humanity-based fields, but to all areas. In 2012 Reorganized Doctoral Courses addition to a liberal arts education, we are working to provide a socially engaged education through higher learning partnerships, Sakaki Yoshiyuki 2013 Establishment of TUT-USM Technology Collaboration Centre in Penang, Malaysia international partnerships, and industrial partnerships.
