In the last 100 or even longer years people were urged on to exploit natural resources and to produce and consume industrial goods. Many states, companies, even individual engineers and scientists in the world operate in an arena of severe competition to boost industrial outputs. The result has become clear: We must live now with serious problems or diseases of the earth itself. The 100 year history of our university overlaps this period. I believe that our professional education and scientific/technological studies today should be grounded on a serious investigation of these our past activities.
The greatest purpose of the Faculty of Engineering, KIT, is both developing novel technologies that realize people's dreams and developing materials, devices, systems and methods that may solve problems people encounter in the real industrial world. We always take into account limited natural resources, live-and-let-live on the earth and diminishing energy consumption.
There are many fields where we are tackling difficult problems and taking the lead in technological advances:
Advanced machining, Micro-machines, Thermofluids, Tribology,
Intelligent control, Robotics, Space technologies, Artificial satellites, Rocket,
Electric energy generation, Power devices, Semiconductor processes and nanotechnology,
Electromagnetic compatibility, Communication technology,
Material design and fabrication, Utilization of natural resources and used materials
Applied organic and inorganic chemistry, Biochemistry, Chemical analysis,
Civil engineering, Safety systems, Architecture and design, Ecomanagement,
System engineering, Computational engineering, etc.
The aim of education at this university is to help each student not only to acquire knowledge and techniques required in an area of industry where he/she wants to take an active part as a learned engineer but also to establish his/her own human qualities compatible with the social and physical environments of the globe and responsible for the development of the world history. In this sense, I acknowledge that all our students aim to become real technological humanists.
Many programs of international student exchange are in progress between various institutions in Asia, Europe, North America and Australasia and our university. We welcome all students in the world who want to study the spirit of new technology development in Japan.
