| Q1 | What are the characteristics of colleges of technology? |
| A1 | It is a five-year integrated education that emphasizes experiments and practical training.At the technical college, in addition to the same English and mathematics as ordinary high schools, you will study specialized subjects related to engineering and shipping.Five years of technical college is equivalent to the period of high school + junior college, but since there is no entrance examination in the middle, you can study freely in a comfortable environment without being hindered by studying for the exam.Furthermore, if you go on to a major course for the next two years and complete it, you will be able to obtain a degree equivalent to a four-year university graduation. In addition, technical college places particular emphasis on experiments and practical training, and secures more time than when studying at university.In the final year, graduation research will be conducted as a culmination. |
| Q2 | Do you also board a ship in the Department of Information and Mechanical Systems Engineering? |
| A2 | There are opportunities to get on a training ship in the form of an experiential voyage, but only the Merchant Marine Department studies ships.
Our school has a long tradition of 14 years since it was founded in 1881 as Toba Shosenko, a branch school of Kogyokusha. In 135, the Department of Control and Information Engineering was established, and in 60 they were integrated to establish the Department of Information Mechanical Systems Engineering.this isYou learn about engineering just like other technical colleges, so there is no special practical training just because you're a merchant marine college. |
| Q3 | Why is it advantageous for employment? |
| A3 | This is because it is a school where you can learn about the fields that are essential to the Japanese economy.
Since Japan is an island country with scarce resources, the Japanese economy is made up by making goods and services and selling them to the world.In the Department of Information Mechanical Systems Engineering, you will learn how to produce and manage these industrial products and information systems.Shipping is the cornerstone of logistics that connects Japan and the world, and the Department of Commercial Shipping is to learn about this field.It is needed by many companies because it is a school that trains engineers who can be ready to work in these fields. |
| Q4 | Can I go to college after graduating? |
| A4 | Yes, you can transfer to a university.
Currently, many national, public and private universities are accepting transfer students from technical colleges through third-year and second-year transfer exams.Toyohashi University of Technology and Nagaoka University of Technology are established mainly to accept college graduate students as transfer students, but transfer to other universities is also possible.There are two ways to transfer, one is by recommendation and the other is by passing the academic ability test.Since the transfer exams are held at different times depending on the university, there are more opportunities to take the exam than after graduating from high school and taking the university exam, and there are fewer exam subjects, so the burden of taking the exam is lessened.You can also go on to our advanced course and get a bachelor's degree. |
| Q5 | What is an advanced course? |
| A5 | This is a new two-year study course after graduating from the main course. Upon completion, it is considered equivalent to graduating from a four-year university. |
| Q6 | Please tell us about contests such as robot competitions. |
| A6 | I participate in Robocon and Procon every year.
The "National College of Technology Robot Contest" is an educational event that has been held since 63.It became famous because it was broadcast on NHK every year.Our school has been participating every year since 25.In addition, he participates in the "National College of Technology Programming Contest", which competes for software program development, every year, and received the Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology Award in 28, 29, 30, 3 and Reiwa 26. ..In addition, in the IT contest "Imagine Cup" sponsored by Microsoft, he was selected as the representative of Japan in the 30 and XNUMX competitions, and participated in the world competition held in Seattle, USA. |

| A7 | Available
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. |
| Q8 | I heard that there are foreign students, but how many international students do you have? |
