Vision of NITech

~Aiming for the university to lead social innovation through
“Engineering with heart and mind for humanity”~

Co-creation with Chukyo area industries

For engineering to build a healthy future society, technological development through dialogue with people must be emphasized. In the fourth period, we set a goal to be a university that declares and promotes "engineering for creation of happiness." It means that we pursue how engineering can best perform as communication of "Engineering with heart and mind for humanity" to establish a future vision or ideal society through dialogue, rather than simply by technological development. We cultivate engineers from various aspects to create a new social infrastructure through dialogues with various people from objective and panoramic viewpoints while remaining close to stakeholders. We also promote world-level advanced research based on global and diverse cooperation to facilitate technological development and business solution by "Co-creation with Chukyo area industries" while leading the regional industries.
