Ishikawa National College of Technology

In 1962 with striking economic progress in the background, the education system of the College of Technology was founded as one of the higher educational institutions among universities and junior colleges, aiming to foster the education of capable engineers who would support industrial development. The College of Technology accepts young students from junior high schools and offers them an integrated specialized technical education for five years. The college provides our students with technical education, placing much importance on experiments, practice, and practical skills based on theoretical foundation. We teach our with careful guidance in small groups, and help them acquire creativity and a positive attitude. In addition, we arrange our curriculums so as to make the students flexibly adapt themselves to international society. A two-year Advanced Engineering Course based on the regular courses was established in 2000 in order to help engineering students attain current standards of information-oriented society where technology is highly developed and internationalized. We aim to produce graduates with a more finely-honed set of research and development skills and technical knowledge. We also started a Creative Engineering Program in 2003, (this program was accredited by JABEE (Japan Accreditation Board for Engineering Education) in 2006) which is a four-year educational program for students in the 4th year of the regular course who will continue to study and complete the two-year Advanced Course. This program is aimed at training students to become engineers who can keep up with future technical developments.
