The Charter of TUT

The Charter of Toyohashi University of Technology

Toyohashi University of Technology (TUT) was established in 1976 to respond to the societal need to foster practical, creative engineers and cultivate qualified individuals who would show initiative and display leadership abilities. With this guiding philosophy, TUT focused largely on recruiting graduates of technical colleges.

In implementing this mission, TUT has overseen a comprehensive program involving education and research in technology. Correspondingly, TUT has produced a great number of highly skilled engineers and researchers who have made valuable contributions to academic life while also contributing to society through technological development and industry-academic cooperation.

The Charter of TUT enshrines this philosophy and its objectives as a guide for those who work here to encourage us to build on our achievements, taking advantage of our strengths and unique traits to make further advances.
