Since the Aichi Institute of Technology first opened its doors, we have been offering students profound scholarship and sound technological skills based on our founding spirit of Freedom, Love and Justice as well as on our educational motto Creation and Humanity. We are committed to doing everything we can to push our academics and research forward with the goal of turning out competent professionals who also have depth of character. Aichi Prefecture has become a teeming hub of monozukuri, or Japanese craftsmanship, in recent years, and AIT is fulfilling its role as a comprehensive technical university in the region by enhancing the practical educational offerings that will develop human resources who can make their mark on the world stage. As part of this endeavor, we are offering language training programs in the US, New Zealand, and various other countries while promoting academic exchange programs with partner schools in China and elsewhere. We want to support technical education not only in Japan, but in Southeast Asia and other parts of the world as well.
AIT is also working to set up educational and research facilities that spark students’ curiosity and passion for learning. In April 2015, we built the New Building #2 complete with a Robot Museum. The facility also features a glass-walled project room designed to encourage cross-disciplinary ideas about how we might create a future world where robots play a pivotal role, or might make more use of robots in the construction or electrical sectors.
I feel it is important for AIT students to excel not only in terms of knowledge, but in their integrity and strength of character as well. Our approach is to faithfully plow ahead with steadfastness and discipline.
AIT faculty and staff are called upon to have the courage to press ahead and to push our students forward, always encouraging them to take up the next challenge without fear of failure. We put our heart and soul into supporting students from every angle.
