Research Institute for Engineering Education
The hub of practical research aimed to nurture creative industrial engineers.
Established in April 1971, the institute continues to pursue practical research on industrial technology education, especially those for junior high/technical high schools to university/graduate school level.
The institute’s current activities include:
1) Conducting distance learning programs connecting technical high schools with NIT and seeking ways to generalize such results to the public.
2)Awarding the achievement of "Junior Meister" (awarded by The National Association of Principals of Technical Senior High Schools) among the students entering NIT.
3) Offering the open course entitled "Technology Development and Creativity/Sensibility" by inviting eminent lecturers from various fields and experienced engineers.
It also holds "sessions" for in-service professors who are also NIT alumni to encourage academic exchanges and to enhance each others’ capabilities. Its future plans include providing assistance to the students who seek certifications.
