Message

Mission

Kenichiro NakabeChairperson of

the Board of Trustees

Founded in 1963 as Ikutoku College of

Technology, we have kept growing and

celebrated our 50th anniversary in 2013. At

the beginning, established were only three

major departments; mechanical engineering,

electrical engineering and chemical

technology. Expansion, however, was made

as to hold information technology, bioscience,

and nutrition for the additional departments.

Such development has tailored the school as

a comprehensive science educational institute

where a variety of scientific disciplines are

available. We will keep striving for preparing

students the upcoming new era. Not only

upraising the level of education, we always

keep giving efforts to create better

educational circumstances leading to the

fulfilling educational outcome through

numerical renewals on equipments and

facilities for the better.

Kazumi KomiyaPresident

At KAIT, based on student-centered

approach, all of the faculty and staff members

give effort to look at each student closely so

that we can all find his/her hidden potentials

and expand it, as well as guiding the students

to be very self-motivated. It is our belief that it

allows every student grows to contribute well

as a member of society obtaining higher skills

and excellence in knowledge, and beauty of

personality. Not only this, we are focusing on

“problem-solving” education that they provide

solutions for obstacles that communities and

societies are facing. We now feel that the

people naturally value “humanity” rather than

“materialistic fulfillment”. KAIT keep giving

efforts to fulfill the life of people by providing

practical solutions issues in environment &

energy, life & health, and information as the

three major pillars through our education and

research.

Grow People to Think and Act - the people who contribute to society with knowledge and character -

Educational Approach

- Small size classroom valuing individual academic achievement

- Hands-on education to develop creativity and intellectual curiosity

- Personal based instruction to develop expertise

- Develop communicative skills nourishing cross cultural awareness and sense of globalism

Our History1963 Ikutoku College of Technology was founded by Kenkichi Nakabe, the president of Taiyo Fishery (currently Maruha Nichiro).1975 Ikutoku College of Technology was reorganized as Ikutoku Institute of Technology.1988 Ikutoku Institute of Technology was renamed Kanagawa Institute of Technology in a hope to develop as a university deeply rooted in the local community.1989 The Graduate School of Engineering was established.2013 The Institute has developed into a full-scale industrial university with 4 undergraduate faculties, 11 departments, and 6 graduate courses, having a total of 5,000 students.

Student Exchange ProgramKAIT is affiliated with the universities in China, Taiwan, Thai, and Sweden for students

exchange. Students can study at these hosting schools from 6 months to one year, and so can

the students from these hosting universities. Every year some of our Japanese students study

at these universities.

Long-Term Study Abroad ProgramAt the affiliated universities in the US or in Taiwan, students can take language training, English

or Chinese, as well as their major academic courses, eg. , engineering, chemistry, biology, and

flight operation, during their stay of 6 months. Students in this program can graduate within

four years. Their credits at the hosting college can be transferred and counted toward

graduation. Some scholarships will be granted as a part of tuition and travel expenses.

Short-Term Study Abroad ProgramAt affiliated schools in the US, in Taiwan, or in Singapore, students can take language training,

English or Chinese, as well as their major academic courses, eg. engineering, chemistry,

biology, and flight operation) during their stay of 2 to 4 weeks. Through staying in a different

culture and taking courses, students raise their language ability and level of cross-cultural

understanding. Credit transfer and financial aid are available.
