Message from the President,
Dr. Hiroshi Konno.

Tohoku Institute of Technology is a place where people of a variety of personality and talent can gather, develop their possibilities and potentials, and prepare themselves to move on to the next stage in their lives.

Welcome to the Tohoku Institute of Technology. As a former student and then a teacher here, I have had the opportunity to see the learning situation from both sides. This unique experience helps me to understand the needs and desires of the students at this university and strengthens my determination to do my best for you all.

At our university, the word ‘engineering’ is used to embrace the study of natural science, while also incorporating study of the humanities and social science.

Students here will study and contribute to the safety and convenience of society, helping to create a comfortable environment for the betterment of people’s health, and work to explore the theories and technologies that contribute to people’s welfare.

Now it is said to be the century of the environment. Innovation in the approach to engineering is required in order to achieve the sustainability of society. It is also vital that we act to aid in the creation of a rich and beautiful society in which all its members can live in peace and comfort. With this vision in mind, the life design faculty was founded at our university in 2008. Its maxims are practical learning and interdisciplinary research.

Our university is a place where people of a variety of personality and talent can gather, develop their possibilities and potentials, and prepare themselves to move on to the next stage in their lives. The people you meet and the experiences you will have here through your learning will help to give you both a highly specialized and a diversified outlook.

The university strives to create graduates who will be business people, thinking and acting for themselves and playing leading roles as engineers and creators within and for society and the community.

To help each individual who begins their future at this university, it is my mission to help you to reach your goals and I promise to put all my efforts into helping you to achieve your dreams.
