An engineering university contributing to the world through practical skills

Toyohashi University of Technology was founded in 1976 with a mission to conduct research and education in "technological science", developing new technologies through scientific inquiry. In the 50 years since its inception, we have accepted students well-versed in manufacturing and promoted a practical education combining theory and practice as if they were the two sides of the same coin. Presently, we have been focusing on the five main branches of engineering while strengthening our interdisciplinary fields such as sensing, Internet of things / artificial intelligence (IoT/AI) and robotics, as well as fusion and integrated fields such as cyber-physical systems (CPS) and carbon neutrality. Through these efforts, we strive to contribute to the creation of a safe and secure society toward the achievement of sustainable development goals (SDGs), thereby providing society with talent to actively enable innovations on a global scale.　

One of our strengths is its large-scale integration (LSI) facility which has been under development since the university's founding for designing, prototyping, manufacturing, and evaluating semiconductors. This has served as a base for top-notch results in the research of semiconductor integrated sensors and devices. Our strengths also include interdisciplinary research into robotics, and collaborations in agriculture and medical engineering, as well as research into social implementation. Our students are also active in extracurricular activities; our Robocon Club in particular won the national championship at the NHK Student Robocon 2024 for three consecutive years. Additionally, our graduates are highly active in the business world. This is because our university is rooted in a system emphasizing practical education through "technological science" and industry-academia co-creation. Students are nurtured in their ability to try and realize new devices as well as ideas, thinking freely outside the existing framework while tackling challenges yet unsolved.

We aim to be a world-renowned engineering university for teaching superior skills in implementation and adaptability through both industry-academia collaboration and also enhanced international, technical college, and university collaborations, thereby further contributing to the development of science and technology in Japan.
