Education and Learning A unique education system that guarantees quality at graduation

We have created a unique education system that combines visualization of growth with academic guidance.

Based on the founding spirit of "For the sake of the world, for the sake of people, for the sake of the region, to develop professionals with practical skills backed by theory who can play an active role in the field," we have built a unique education system consisting of "visualization of growth" and "study guidance that supports growth" to send practical professionals out into society. By visualizing one's own growth and utilizing various programs tailored to the level of academic achievement, we promote the development of human resources that "guarantee" success in society after graduation.

Diploma Supplement System (DS System)

This system makes it possible to clearly visualize the learning outcomes acquired during enrollment, the level of achievement in specialized subjects, and the level of development of generic abilities, as well as comparisons with the averages within the university or nationwide.
A meticulously designed curriculum covering the basics to advanced levels of each faculty and department + a comprehensive program to enrich your learning. First-year seminar subjects, basic skills improvement courses, e-learning, applied skills improvement courses, summer intensive power-up courses, advanced graduate course enrollment system/early advancement system, global education, project activities, PBL, etc. By utilizing a variety of learning opportunities and systems, from basics to development and theory to practice, students can hone their individual weaknesses and further develop their strengths.

"Quality assurance at graduation" initiative through the Diploma Supplement System

The minimum level of knowledge and skills that students should have by the time of graduation is visualized in graphs and charts. Students can check their own progress at any time. Once students have confirmed their progress (the skills they have acquired), new challenges are set, and this is our unique system that steadily supports individual growth toward the achievement level (target value) that we expect.

A place of learning that supports the education system

We provide a learning environment where faculty and staff can collaborate and cooperate to support the growth of each student.

In order to provide more than 7,000 students enrolled in Osaka Institute of Technology with detailed educational support in more than 7,000 ways, various sections including each faculty and department and the Education Center work together to provide various learning opportunities. With a system that supports students' learning from many angles, including regular classes, various extracurricular courses, extracurricular activities, and individual consultations, and an educational system that covers a wide range of subjects from basic to advanced, from theory to practice, we have established a support system that meets the needs of each individual student.

Promoting education using ICT

While we continue to focus on face-to-face classes, in light of the recent rapid spread of online classes, we are promoting education that provides more effective learning by incorporating elements of our own digital teaching materials.

OIT-MDASH (Literacy)

We provide all students with educational programs aimed at cultivating basic skills in mathematics, data science, and AI (artificial intelligence) through educational content developed by IT specialist faculty, mainly from the Department of Data Science in the Faculty of Information Science and Technology . We aim to develop human resources suited to the AI ​​era.
e-learning (English training) An English training program is conducted for all new students before enrollment. The aim is to solidify the basic English skills required after enrollment. The materials used will continue to be used as supplementary materials for regular English classes after enrollment, so you can work on them thoroughly. Individual consultations In order to resolve any questions you may have about English, mathematics, or physics, the Education Center offers individual consultations on weekdays where faculty members or student tutors will provide one-on-one guidance. Basic skills improvement courses Complement your basic English, mathematics, and physics knowledge with content that is in line with regular classes. First-year seminar subjects Introductory education is provided in a small seminar format to adapt to independent learning at university. By learning how to study at university and through group assignments, you will solidify your communication skills and build a foundation for a meaningful student life at Osaka Institute of Technology. Industry-government-academia collaboration Promotes research activities in collaboration with the local community, companies, and government. You will acquire the skills to apply the knowledge and technology you have learned to solving problems in the real world. Graduate School Course Advancement System/Early Advancement System The three science faculties (Faculty of Engineering, Faculty of Engineering of Robotics & Design Engineering, and Faculty of Information Science and Technology) have a system for advanced completion of graduate school courses in the fourth year of undergraduate studies, and the Faculty of Intellectual Property has an early advancement system that allows students to graduate in three years and advance to a professional graduate school at our university. Both systems provide an environment where students can immerse themselves in research in their specialized fields. Graduation Research/Graduation Thesis As a culmination of four years of undergraduate study, students will work on the latest research and new issues in laboratories and seminars. Summer Intensive Power-Up Courses Intensive courses covering everything from basic to advanced content on mathematics and physics, which are essential for specialized research, will be held during the summer vacation. Application Skills Improvement Courses These courses are aimed at students who are aiming to advance to graduate school or are considering doing so, and will develop the application skills of mathematics and physics. Global Education Through international PBL, overseas internships, and academic exchanges with students from overseas, students will acquire the skills to play an active role as global human resources. Project Activities As a place for practical activities in "manufacturing," which is an important theme of our university, students from different faculties and departments form teams and proactively engage in manufacturing, industry-academia collaboration, and community collaboration activities. As these are extracurricular activities, students can participate in any project, and in addition to practical technical training, it is also a great opportunity to try new manufacturing. PBL (Problem-Based Learning) As the cornerstone of learning activities at the university, PBL subjects have been introduced in all faculties. In class, students work in teams to "independently" and "actively" solve problems, and in addition to acquiring specialized knowledge and skills, they also develop cooperation and creativity.
