Will Open Your Future

What is practical engineering education?

Although virtual interactions are increasing with the evolution of AI, tangible things will still be essential as long as people live in the "real" world. In order to improve our surroundings, including machinery, buildings, and communication infrastructure, and achieve safer and stabler provision of goods, we need human resources who can conceive, design, and invent ways to realize these improvements. Practical engineering education starts with understanding how tangible things support and work for people and society. Nippon Institute or Technology (NIT) aims to educate technology specialists who can reach where people and society truly need them. We provide practical engineering education in which students gain a deep understanding of theory through contact with tangible things and hands-on experience.

NIT's Education Method

The College Meister Program

"Deepen your understanding with concurrent practical training and lectures."

NIT's unique dual system is a style of learning that combines technology and theory by arranging experience-based learning such as experiements, practical training, and drafting from the fist year of university. 

By learning both technology and theory from an practical manufacturing skills. Challenges and questions faced in manufacturing help deepen students' understanding of theory. NIT emphasizes learning through personal experience while repeatedly taking on challenges and working through trial and error.
