Nihon University
Currently celebrating its 120th anniversary, Nihon University originated with theestablishing of Nihon Law School in 1889.Since its foundation, the university has
maintained a position at the forefront of tertiary education and research,
consistently demonstrating a global perspective coupled with an enterprising spirit.
In addition to its educational role as an institution offering a wide range of fieldsof study, Nihon University is also active in the areas of health care, continuing
education, and a variety of other activities designed to contribute to thedevelopment of society as a whole.

College of Industrial Technology, Nihon University
The College of Industrial Technology (CIT), Nihon University began in 1965
when the School of Industrial Management became an independent college,
separating from the College of Engineering (now the College of Science andTechnology), which itself was founded in 1952. In the years since its
establishment, CIT has consolidated its unique position as the technical college
within the Nihon University system with the closest ties to industry, in both
geographic and educational terms, employing this unique position in the training
and development of engineering students from the perspective of humanresource development. CIT has utilized this industry-linked educational
philosophy to produce graduates who have acquired a strong commitment tosafety and ethics, this allowing them to thrive especially within sophisticatedinformation-technologies environments as well as to strive to become top-flightengineers capable of building today’s state-of-the-art production systems.

To All Those Aspiring To Advanced
Monozukuri Manufacturing
You may think that the engineers who will forge the 21 st century need
only to learn about cutting-edge technologies, but there is more to it
than that. The College of Industrial Technology (CIT) addresses allthese requirements by supplying a campus environment able todevelop and nurture promising individuals to attain not only
outstanding levels of technical proficiency, but also to acquire a
commitment to safety and ethics that allows them to manage thesophisticated information technologies. Such well-rounded students
will pursue their professional careers, striving to become top-caliber
m a n a ge m e n t e n g i n e e r s , o n e s a bl e to b u i ld t he st a t e - o f- t he - a r t
production technology and systems of the future.
In other words, we at CIT impart the comprehensive knowledge andsharp judgment that bestows on our students the ability tocomprehend how new technology affects society and nature, as well
as develop their potential to become internationally-minded
professionals—individuals who possess the human-based
communications skills and the management skills allowing them tospeak from the side of a production engineer. Both of these qualities
will go very far in gaining respect for our graduates in every sector of
the globalized civilization that is arising in the 21 st century.
We w a r m l y w e l c o m e a l l t h o s e a s p i r i n g t o b e c o m e t h e k i n d o fengineers who will make a difference both to Japan and to the world.

The overall educational goal of CIT is to train, develop, and cultivate
students possessing a wide-range of educational accomplishments andmanagement and technical skills. In pursuit of this overriding goal thecollege aims at attaining a number of subsidiary objectives, the primary
one being to utilize the unique personal qualities and abilities of eachE d u c at i o n a l G o a l s

individual in order to develop engineers who in both thought and action
consider the needs and safety of the ordinary citizen, thereby contributing
to both society and humanity as a whole.
Additionally, CIT strives to foster a student’s ability to think multilaterally
about academic basics, as well as to impart to him or her the applied skills
necessary to cope with advances in technology, especially in regard to theimpact of today’s rapid technical progress on society, nature, and theenvironment.

Introduction to University Facilities

High Technology Research Center
Advanced Research Center for Life Science and Human Environment
The High Technology Research Center is, as the name implies, ahigh-tech research facility endowed with cutting-edge equipment
and apparatuses without parallel at the university-laboratorylevel. The center has worked on a number of projects connected
to environmental conservation technologies that fall within thesphere of environmental-science research, being especially
active in the establishment of environmentally-friendly
production technologies. At the same time, joint research is
conducted in the Advanced Research Center for Life Science andHuman Environment by several researchers from both Nihon
University and abroad.

Advanced Research Center for Water Engineering and Technology
Aimed at the development of global,

different physical and chemical properties. The center

environmentally-conscious technologies, the Advanced

uses cutting-edge equipment and facilities in a bid to

R e s e a r c h C e n t e r f o r Wa t e r E n g i n e e r i n g a n d Te c h n o l o g ydevelop materials, industrial processes, and newconcentrates on water as its research theme, thoroughly

technologies that utilize these properties. The center has

investigating all facets of one of the earth’s most abundant

attracted much attention both in-country and out and thus

and easily obtainable natural resources. By changing

promotes smooth collaboration between researchtemperature and pressure, water takes on a variety of

institutions in Japan and abroad.

Library
The main branch of the library is housed in an eight-story building
l o c a t e d o n t h e Ts u d a n u m a C a m p u s , w i t h a s a t e l l i t e b r a n c hestablished at Mimomi Campus. The library’s collection totals
approximately 250,000 volumes. In addition, it also maintains
around 1,500 major scholarly journals published around the world,
as well as possessing numerous audio-visual materials, such asvideos and CDs. The library also contains a fully equipped
book-and-material search system. For books and materials not in
the library, originals or copies may be ordered from other university
libraries—a support-system that allows learning and research toproceed smoothly is also available for student and faculty use.

IT center
The IT Center provides an internet-connected environment so thatstudents can conveniently use the notebook PCs they bring on
campus. Additionally, the center provides a unified means for using
on-campus wired and wireless LAN and has also created anenvironment in which users can carry out data processing, report
creation, and other tasks necessary for their study or research.

Information Processing Laboratory
This facility is used for computer-related classes, such as
computer-language-lab sessions. One hundred sixty of thelatest-model personal computers are presently installed. The
computers are connected via an intra-classroom network;
additionally, an efficient class environment is provided through ateaching support system (computer aided instruction, or CAI). The
laboratory is available for use outside classroom hours as well,staying open until 10 p.m.

Tsudanuma Campus
Students spend their final three years at the Tsudanuma
Campus engaging in the advanced study necessary to acquire
proficiency in their major areas of study. The campus iswell-outfitted with facilities that further the pursuit of enhanced
expertise in all technical areas. Tsudanuma Campus is home to
the High Technology Research Center, which is stocked with
cutting-edge research equipment and lab facilities, as well as
the Advanced Research Center for Water Engineering andTechnology, the Advanced Research Center for Life Science andHuman Environment, and other research-oriented
establishments.

Mimomi Campus is home to all first-year students. Thus, one of
the campus’s primary goals is to help students become accustomed
to university life. The campus houses extensive facilities including
the classroom buildings used to deepen students’ general
education, as well as the Physics and Chemistry Experimental
Buildings where research can be conducted. There is also abaseball stadium (No. 1), an athletics stadium, a soccer pitch andmore. The campus also features many other facilities wherestudents who will be spending four years together can participate
with instructors in a variety of activities.
