Current students are not considered "students" but rather "students," and their autonomy and independence are respected. Students are expected to behave responsibly. Classes are two consecutive 90-minute classes. There is a 10-minute break between classes, and a 50-minute lunch break. The school has a two-semester system, with long summer and spring holidays.

Japan is an island nation with few resources, so the Japanese economy is based on producing goods and services and selling them to the world. In the Department of Information and Mechanical Systems Engineering, students learn how to produce and manage these industrial products and information systems. Furthermore, shipping is the key to logistics that connects Japan with the world, and the Department of Maritime Studies is where students learn about this field. This is why our school is in demand with many companies, as it trains engineers who can immediately contribute in these fields.

Currently, many national and private universities accept transfer students from technical colleges through third-year and second-year transfer exams. Toyohashi University of Technology and Nagaoka University of Technology are universities that were established mainly to accept students who have graduated from technical colleges as transfer students. It is also possible to transfer to other universities. There are two ways to transfer: by recommendation or by passing an academic exam. Since the transfer exams are held at different times depending on the university, there are more opportunities to take the exam than if you were to graduate from high school and then take the university exam, and there are fewer subjects, so the burden of the exam is less. There is also the option of going on to our specialized course instead of going to university and obtaining a bachelor's degree.

Upon completion, a bachelor's degree is considered equivalent to graduating from a four-year college.

In 20, we signed an international exchange agreement with Maritime Academy of Singapore Polytechnic, and we are conducting student exchange and short-term language training (English) during the summer vacation.In addition, since 26, we have been conducting an international internship with Istanbul Technical University in Turkey.There is also a program that offers a homestay of about 3 weeks.In addition, some students take a year off to study abroad in the United States or Australia at their own expense.

Currently, a total of four students from Malaysia, Indonesia, Mongolia, and Laos are studying at our school.

Although they no longer exist, the Department of Electronic and Mechanical Engineering was called Department M and the Department of Control and Information Engineering was called Department I.

During the lower grades from 1st grade to 3rd grade, it is compulsory to attend school in uniform. In the upper grades of 4th to 5th grade, they wear uniforms during ceremonies, but usually spend their time in plain clothes.

In addition, the Department of Commercial Shipping has separate white uniforms to be worn during graduation ceremonies and boarding training.Boys wear white school uniforms, and girls wear white blazer and skirts.

In addition, the high school tuition support system began in 22, and a subsidy of 118,800 yen per year is available for the first XNUMX months (XNUMXst to XNUMXrd years) from enrollment (excluding households with an annual income of XNUMX million yen or more). Depending on the parents' income, the full tuition fee may be subsidized. There is a tuition reduction system for students from the XNUMXth year of the regular course to the XNUMXnd year of the specialized course.

Our school has a long tradition of 14 years since it was founded in 1881 as Toba Commercial Marine College, a branch of Kogakusha University, and established the Department of Electronic and Mechanical Engineering in 135 and the Department of Control and Information Engineering in 60 as industrial departments, which were integrated to form the Department of Information and Machine Systems Engineering in 63. As with other technical colleges, students learn about engineering, so there are no special practical trainings just because it is a maritime college.

At our school, students learn the basics of all of these fields during their first, second and third years, and then from their fourth year onwards, each student can choose the specialist field they wish to study.

The oriented units are "Development and Design," "Production Technology," "Customer Service," "Business Fundamentals," and "Internationality."

Required subjects change depending on the unit selected, so students can choose those that suit their personality and characteristics.

Mobile applications develops engineers who can develop various applications for smartphones and tablet devices.

Smart sensing trains engineers who can quantitatively measure information around us and analyze and visualize it.

Power Electronics trains engineers who are responsible for the setup and maintenance of power supply and control systems for residential and office buildings.

Aerospace trains engineers with the management and operation skills to play an active role in the manufacturing fields of the aerospace industry.

Robotics develops engineers who can develop, design, manufacture, control, and maintain robots that are responsible for production.

In the production engineering department, students will gain a broad understanding of technology as the coordinator of the production site, and will develop the coordination skills to consolidate the requests of each department.

Customer service develops your negotiating skills with customers to install and maintain electrical equipment and building systems.

In business fundamentals, students learn about business management and administration in order to be able to thrive as engineers with a business perspective.

Internationality means having a global perspective and improving language skills, especially English.

The Navigation Course is a course that trains navigators and captains, providing education so that in the future students will be able to fulfill the important task of safely and economically delivering precious human lives and enormous assets such as ships and expensive cargo to their destinations.

The Engineering Course is a course for training engineers and chief engineers, and provides students with advanced skills and knowledge to operate and maintain main engines, auxiliary engines, generators, and many other types of machinery.

In this training, students often train together with students from other maritime technical colleges, but they also board a training ship with students from the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology's national university corporation "Tokyo University of Marine Science and Technology," the national university corporation "Kobe University," and the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism's Maritime Technical School, Maritime Technical Junior College, and Maritime Technical University. They are able to gain insight from students from various educational institutions, which greatly contributes to their growth.

After graduating from the Department of Merchant Marine, students are exempt from the written exam and license course for the third-class marine engineer license, which is required to become an officer on a large ocean-going ship, so if they pass the oral and physical exams, they can obtain a third-class marine engineer license. While studying at the school, students can take the written exams for the higher-level second-class and first-class marine engineers.

In addition, commuting to school by bicycle is not permitted between Ikenoura Station and the school as there is no bicycle parking lot at Ikenoura Station.

Students in the first through third grades are required to wear uniforms to school. Students in the fourth and fifth grades wear formal attire such as uniforms or suits for ceremonies, but usually wear casual clothes.
