Education at Hiroshima Institute of Technology
At Hiroshima Institute of Technology, we are guided by the educational approach expressed in our school philosophy, "Education is love," and motto, "Always Walk Together with God and Serve Humanity" as we endeavor to cultivate engineers and technical experts who will make the world a better place.
The new "HIT.E▶2024" educational program aimed at cultivating pioneering engineers and technical experts began in April 2020. This program fosters an environment where student-driven, active and ongoing learning takes place, with students' existing expertise and confidence being complemented by stronger connections to society that will cultivate real-world practical competencies truly applicable in the society of tomorrow.
As part of the HIT.E▶2024 program, first year students in all departments will be required to take the "Introduction to AI and Data Science" introductory level AI and data science course. In addition, we have established the Department of Information and Communication in order to equip students capable of utilizing information to create social value. Through a curriculum carefully adapted to the changing times, this department produces the sorts of engineers and technical experts that are demanded by society and local communities.
