Toba National Institute of Technology, National College of Technology, was established by its founder, Makoto Kondo, in September 1875, when he began his nautical surveying practice at No. 14 Shibashin Zeniza (currently Hamamatsucho, Minato-ku, Tokyo). The school was founded as Toba Shosen-ko (later known as Shosen-ko), and its branch school was established as Toba Sho-sen-ko on August 1881, 8 in Toba-cho, Mie Prefecture. After that, the school went through changes such as private, municipal, and prefectural, and in June 20, it was renamed the Toba National College of Marine Science and Technology. Our school has been supported by a long and good tradition to this day.
Since our founding, we have successively established and reorganized departments in response to changes in Japan's industry, and in April 17, we established the Department of Maritime Systems and the Department of Production Systems Engineering. Ta. In 2005, there were two departments, the current Department of Merchant Marine and Department of Information Mechanical Systems Engineering.
As of March 6, there were 3 graduates and graduates, producing excellent engineers in Japan's industry, including the shipping industry and related industries, and making great contributions to the industrial development of Japanese society. I've been piling up.
Next year, Reiwa 7 (2025), will mark the 150th anniversary of the founding of the Nautical Surveying Training Institute. In March of the same year, we plan to welcome a new training ship, Toba Maru, and we are also updating the floating pier to accommodate the larger training ship. Furthermore, in response to the adoption of the University and Technical College Functional Strengthening Support Project in XNUMX, which is a fund-based continuous support for strengthening the functions of universities and technical colleges that will drive growth fields, in April XNUMX, information machinery We are planning to establish a new advanced information engineering course in the Department of Systems Engineering and begin accepting students.
This is an opportunity to connect our school's tradition to the future and create new developments that will produce human resources for a wide range of industries such as maritime, offshore, information, electrical and electronics, and machinery, as well as for growing fields such as shipping based on GX and DX. We are celebrating the 150th anniversary of the founding of Toba National College of Technology and the 60th anniversary of the founding of the National Institute of Technology, National Institute of Technology, National Institute of Technology, with the aim of co-creating with graduates, graduates, the industry and the local community, and realizing the future prospects of our alma mater. A commemorative project fund has been established. From now on, we intend to further enhance our academic support and the development of an educational and research environment. In addition, we have organized a ``Committee to Commemorate the 150th Anniversary of the Founding of the National Institute of Technology, Toba National College of Technology, and the 60th Anniversary of the Founding of the National College of Technology'' to plan and promote commemorative events and projects. I did it. We look forward to your continued cooperation and support for Toba National College of Marine Science and Technology, which fosters promising young people.
We would like to ask for your enthusiastic support and support for the fund so that we can achieve the intended purpose of this commemorative project.
Auspicious day of May 2020
