Gifu Kosen (The National Institute of Technology, Gifu College) has its campus in Motosu City in the southwestern part of Gifu Prefecture, famous for its usuzumizakura blossoms, which was selected as one of Japan's 100 best cherry blossom viewing spots. It is one of 51 national technical colleges in Japan and part of the network of the National Institutes of Technology. 　Gifu Kosen was established in 1963 and has a long history spanning nearly 60 years. This is a school steeped in tradition, where practical engineers and leading engineers are trained through a five-year integrated education program that endows them with the basic academic abilities as engineers to support the foundation of manufacturing, as well as early specialized education in general liberal arts education and engineering. There are five specialized tracks offered and major courses (Advanced Integrated Development Major) led by the Department of Mechanical Engineering, the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, the Department of Electronic Control Engineering, the Department of Civil Engineering, and the Department of Architecture. To date, we have prepared and sent approximately 8,862 regular graduates and 748 advanced course students into society. In March 2021, a total of 226 students completed their regular and advanced courses and graduated, and each of them began to take their own career path. After graduation, graduates can play an active role as engineers in private firms and/or public institutions. Especially in the industrial sector, technical college graduates are highly regarded, and the job opening-to-application ratio is extremely high. (In the last few years, for regular graduates it is 27 times, and for the number of major graduates it is approximately 28 times). In addition to obtaining employment, regular graduates can also obtain bachelor's qualifications by enrolling in advanced courses at Gifu Kosen or transferring to the third year of university. After completing the advanced course and obtaining a bachelor's degree, the student will also be able to advance to graduate school. 　Due to the rapid advancement of science and technology, the declining birthrate and aging population, globalization, and climate change, as well as new coronavirus infectious diseases, major changes in society are accelerating. The environment surrounding technical colleges is also changing, along with the qualities and abilities required of technical college graduates. However, in this context, the role of technical colleges, which produce engineers capable of realizing innovation, remains unchanged—the aim is human resource development that can make a significant contribution to social implementation. 　Based on its educational philosophy, our institution aims to foster leading engineers who are imbued with a love of humankind and enhanced awareness of internationality and who desire to play an active role at the forefront of an information-oriented society, entrusting their dreams to science and technology. We intend to continue our efforts to improve the quality of education and research at Gifu Kosen, further strengthen regional cooperation, and reform education in response to societal changes. We look forward to your understanding of and support for our endeavors.
