"The unique characteristic of KIT, the exploration of “Wisdom, Beauty and Technology,” has evolved over our 110 year history dating from the establishment of our predecessor institutions, Kyoto College of Technology and Kyoto College of Textile Fibers. This illustrious history now turns a new page, as we make the products of our research and education available to the world. Ensuring student mastery of technology through the creation of ethical and discerning feats of engineering, we target the harmonic integration of wisdom and beauty with intellect and sensibility."
