President's message

- Nurturing industrialists based on the founding spirit -

President Kazuhiko Ogawa

本学は、創立以来「偉大なる平凡人たれ」の建学の精神に基づき、魅力ある人間性と社会の発展に寄与するための実践的能力を兼ね備えた産業人の養成に邁進してまいりました。
現在、本学は大阪東部のものづくりの中心地域に位置する、7学部を擁する総合大学であり、これまでおよそ10万名の卒業生を送り出してきました。これからも社会と産業への貢献を果たすため、本学では実学的な教育を堅持し、教育の改善に対して不断の努力を行ってまいります。

In the past few years, concepts and technologies that will transform society, including AI, have been spreading, and we are being asked to continue educating ourselves in order to respond to these changes. The knowledge we learn may quickly become outdated, but the experience of thinking for ourselves about what knowledge and skills are needed to deal with unknown problems and working hard to acquire them will lead to abilities that can be utilized even after graduation. We hope that students will acquire the skills necessary to be relevant in society through our consistent curriculum, with graduation research, seminars, master's and doctoral theses as the culmination of the curriculum that cultivates such abilities.

All faculty and staff at our university are committed to making tireless efforts and working together to train students who can learn independently. In order for students to acquire the ability to educate themselves and to sustain that ability, in addition to curriculum-based education, collaboration with the local community and industry, including joint research, project activities, and extracurricular activities are also important. By collaborating with the local community and industry and sending capable students out into society, our university hopes to contribute to society.
