Kanagawa Institute of Technology (神奈川工科大学, Kanagawa kōka daigaku) (KAIT) is a private university in Atsugi, Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan.
The predecessor of the school, a vocational school, was founded in 1963. It was chartered as a university in 1975. The present name was adopted in 1988.
Abstract
[edit]
The university has a campus at the middle of Kanagawa prefecture, Atsugi city.
The Bachelor program has 5 faculties and 13 departments. The departments are: Faculty of Engineering (Department of Mechanical Engineering, Department of Electrical, Electronic and Computer Engineering, Department of Applied Chemistry, Department of Clinical Engineering), Faculty of Creative Engineering (Department of Automotive Systems Development Engineering, Department of Robotics and Mechatronics, Department of Home Electronics Development), Faculty of Applied Bio-Science (Department of Applied Bioscience, Department of Nutrition and Life Science), Faculty of Informatics (Department of Information Engineering, Department of Information Network and Communication, Department of Information Media), and Faculty of Nursing (Department of Nursing). Department of Information Network and Communication, Department of Information Media), and the Faculty of Nursing (Department of Nursing).
Graduate School includes the Graduate School of Engineering (Master's and Doctoral Programs in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Applied Chemistry and Bioscience, Mechanical Systems Engineering, and Information Technology, as well as the Master's Program in Robotics and Mechatronics).
The number of students, including graduate students, is approximately 5,000.

Student Life
[edit]International Exchange
[edit]In 2006, the International Office was renovated and a new lounge was opened in a renovated classroom. However, the space was too small and was filled with international students and current students at lunchtime, so the lounge was moved to a larger space in spring 2007. In September 2006, the Special Department program for international students was established. In September 2006, the International Student Special Department Program was established, and at the same time, the International Club was established under the direct control of the International Affairs Division to promote exchange between current students and international students.
The International Office serves as the contact point for university-sponsored language training twice a year: in February at University of Washington in United States (4 weeks) and in August at Edith Cowan University in Australia (3 weeks). In addition to the language training in August, some of the programs in February are unique programs in specialized fields, such as overseas mechanical engineering training and overseas bioengineering training, where students can learn specialized skills while studying the language. In addition to language training, there are also overseas mechanical engineering training and overseas bioengineering training programs. Anyone, regardless of department, can participate.
Employment
[edit]Of the students who apply for employment, the job offer rate is 98.7% (2005). The percentage of students who go on to higher education is 13.1% (2005).
The Faculty of Engineering and the Faculty of Informatics have Curator programs.
