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.

Based on this mission, TUT targets graduates from domestic and foreign Inauguration of the first president Yoneichiro Sakaki technical colleges (KOSEN) and as well as high schools, for new its enrollment. 1977 Commencement of Undergraduate Courses: Energy Engineering, Electrical and Electronic With its graduate school emphasis, the university conducts research in Engineering, Information and Computer Sciences, Materials Science, Architecture and Civil technological science, fostering practical, creative and leading engineers and Yoneichiro Sakaki Engineering researchers as it forges a path toward a new era. Furthermore, TUT strives to respect social diversity and works to enhance collaboration with the local 1978 Inaugural entrance ceremony community. Through these efforts, TUT strives to be a top-class engineering university that is open to the world. 1980 Commencement of Master’s Course in Graduate School of Engineering In order to further develop such activities, since our founding, we have 1984 Inauguration of the second president Namio Honda established five objectives: “Realize a multicultural/global campus”; “Foster innovative human resources through technological science”; “Enhance our 1986 Commencement of Doctoral Course in Materials System Engineering and Systems and research capabilities centered on interdisciplinary research”; “Create knowledge Information Engineering within the Graduate School of Engineering Namio Honda and technologies that contribute to the formation of a safe and secure society”; and “Promote continuity and mobility of researchers”. In order to achieve these 1987 Commencement of Doctoral Course in Integrated Energy Engineering within the Graduate President objectives, we are enhancing our cooperation with technical colleges, such as School of Engineering Takashi Onishi establishing collaborative education programs, as a top priority implementation 1988 Establishment of Faculty of Information and Computer Sciences at the undergraduate level item strengthening TUT’s functions. We also promote joint industry-academic Profile initiatives as well as social collaborative research such as implementation and 1990 Inauguration of the third president Shinichi Sasaki President Onishi completed his doctoral course in proposals to society through the Research Institute for Technological Science Engineering at the University of Tokyo in 1980 (Doctor of and Innovation. In addition to the five specialized fields of mechanical 1993 Establishment of Faculty of Ecological Engineering Engineering), and was inaugurated as a professor in Shinichi Sasaki Department of Urban engineering, Facility of Engineering, engineering, electrical and electronic information engineering, computer the University of Tokyo (-2013). He was appointed as 1995 Reorganization of Doctoral Courses in Graduate School of Engineering: Establishment of President of Toyohashi University of Technology in 2014. science and engineering, applied chemistry and life sciences and architecture He also holds the post of President of the Science Council and civil engineering, we have expanded our tailor-made type curricula to all Mechanical and Structural System Engineering, Functional Materials Engineering, Electronic of Japan (-2017), and was inaugurated as the vice president subjects. In this way, we can focus on educating students who can tackle and Information Engineering, Environmental and Life Engineering of The Japan Association of National University (-2017). issues and the pursuit of truth by spanning multiple disciplines. In particular, we 1996 Inauguration of the fourth president Keishi Goto are putting our efforts into the field of education field in particular. Keishi Goto As a university that participates in the Top Global University Project, we are 2000 Commencement of Master’s Courses given in English seeing steady results from the efforts we have put into internationalization, with 2002 Inauguration of the fifth president Tatau Nishinaga the proportion of international students enrolled at TUT now significantly exceeding 13% of all students. This year too, we will accelerate our 2004 Toyohashi University of Technology established as a “National University Corporation” internationalization by accepting international students and promoting study overseas through the enrichment of various programs such as double degree 2008 Inauguration of the sixth president Yoshiyuki Sakaki Tatau Nishinaga and joint degree. 2010 Reorganized Undergraduate and Master’s Courses: Mechanical Engineering, Electric and I would like to thank all of you who have continued to support TUT from our Electrical Information Engineering, Computer Science and Engineering, Environmental and founding to the present day, both from both inside and outside the university.

Thank you for your continued cooperation. 2013 Establishment of TUT-USM Technology Collaboration Centre in Penang, Malaysia 2014 Inauguration of the seventh president Takashi Onishi Five challenges 2017 Commencement of Global Technology Architects Course Creation of a multicultural global campus Takashi Onishi Development of human resources skilled in technological innovation Enhancement of research capacity focusing on interdisciplinary research Creation of new wisdom and technology useful for shaping a safe and secure society Create a faculty which combines the virtues of continuity and mobility 4 5 Features Education “Spiral-up” curriculum We run a “Spiral-up” curriculum education system. In the system, students learn both basic science and specialized subjects in their first and second years of TUT or at KOSEN, moving up to a higher level of science from their third year and onward. This enables them to spiral up their knowledge and experience by taking on the challenge of more advanced skills. This approach to education allows students to be exposed to technology from their first year. Just as sports education aims to create top athletes by repeatedly teaching a blend of theory and practice, the students (athletes) that have reached a certain level master the ability to put advanced theories into practice by confronting the next stage with a concrete sense of purpose. Collaboration with KOSEN KOSEN (National College of Technology) is a unique Japanese higher
