Osaka Institute of Technology (OIT) was founded in 1922, with the mission to develop specialists with science-based practical skills who play an important role for the world, for the people and for the community. OIT has three faculties; Faculty of Engineering, Faculty of Information Science and Technology, and Faculty of Intellectual Property, the last of which is the only one of its disciplin...e in Japan. OIT also has their graduate schools which include doctoral courses.
As of May 2016, OIT has 6,745 undergraduate students, 354 graduate students, 287 faculty staff, 149 fulltime administrative staff, and more than 100,000 alumni. OIT has three campuses: Omiya Campus, Umeda Campus, and Hirakata Campus, all located in Osaka prefecture. Umeda Campus is the newly opened in spring 2017 located near the Osaka main station. OIT has 37 partner institutions in the world. In 2015 academic year, OIT sent out 248 students and accepted 162 students in our study abroad programs
At the Osaka Institute of Technology, our mission is to develop specialists with science-based practical skills who play an important role in society - for the world, for the people and for the community.
Since OIT was founded more than 90 years ago, we have consistently striven to meet society"s need for talented workers through thorough practical education, project-based learning, and partnerships with the wider academic and industrial community. We are proud of our contribution to Japan"s social fabric and industrial advancement. Indeed, we see this as a tradition that must be passed down from generation to generation.
In addition to the Faculties of Engineering, Information Science and Technology, and Intellectual Property, we have established a new undergraduate department in April 2017, the Faculty of Robotics and Design Engineering. The new department will cover robotics from multiple perspectives, including artificial intelligence, and the Internet of Things, as well as spatial and product design. As a result of this comprehensive approach, we aim to produce talented graduates able to help society achieve the advances necessary to make robots an integral part of our everyday lives.
The Faculty of Robotics and Design Engineering is based at our Umeda Campus, which is housed in a 21-storey building with 2 basement floors, to be called OIT Umeda Tower, located in Chayamachi, the focal point of Osaka"s hustle and bustle. It will be the very model of a modern urban university campus, and the ideal environment for nurturing young engineers with talent, innovation, and a focus on making people"s daily lives better.
Meanwhile, we are also planning to redevelop the Omiya Campus, which houses the Faculties of Engineering and Intellectual Property. The redevelopment is designed to implement gradual improvements that bring out the best in those departments and combine their unique strengths into something greater than the sum of their parts.
In an increasingly complex age, I believe the world needs a workforce with a balance of specialized expertise and the ability to innovate through cooperation. To that end, we at OIT have a number of overarching policies in place, including project-based learning, in which all engineering students undertake systematic, interdisciplinary study of the sciences starting in their first year. Moreover, the revamp of the Graduate School of Engineering planned for the 2017 academic year will ensure that students can broaden their creative and vocational horizons through interaction with neighboring fields of study and rubbing shoulders with colleagues in different areas of research - all without compromising their opportunities to take advantage of the school"s traditionally high level of specialist knowledge and technology.
Indeed, the redevelopment of the Omiya Campus is not intended simply to benefit individual departments, but instead designed to promote greater fusion of all OIT’s academic departments as part of their activities.
Our mission, as outlined at the beginning of this message, must remain the rock-solid foundation that connects students, educators, and stakeholders; the past, the present, and the future; as well as Japan and the rest of the world. Although attitudes and approaches may - and should - change with the times, it is only proper that we respect the history and traditions of those who made the Osaka Institute of Technology what it is today. As incoming president, I look forward to your ongoing support for our efforts to achieve OIT’s mission in a way appropriate for the present day.
