_Since the beginning of the 1960s, our country has rapidly developed its economy and supported the affluent lives of the nation today. The industry, especially the production industry propelled the development, so the industrial world needed a large number of practice-oriented highly-skilled engineers. Responding to this social necessity, our college was founded in Tsuruoka, in the spring of 1963.
_Technological innovations and high-tech engineerings emerged after that. Through various twists and turns that consequently made our country a science-and-technology based country, our college has been highly evaluated and trusted in industry as a unique higher educational institution that produces scientific engnieers and researchers. This uniqueness comes from the fact that we have a five-year consecutive educational system and students can be transferred to universities. In 2003, we established the two-year advanced faculty that is equivalent to a university’s undergraduate course, making it possible for our graduates to obtain a bachelor’s degree. The graduates can be directly admitted to graduate schools. Furthermore, in order to produce engineers who meet the international standards of excellence, and in accordance with JABEE certification, the school is advancing a New Education that fuses the associate degree course with a bachelor degree course for graduates. In 2004, our college became an independent organization and made a fresh start as a college tightly associated with our community.
