Ikutoku College of Technology was founded by Kenkichi Nakabe, the president of Taiyo
Fishery (currently Maruha Nichiro).
Ikutoku College of Technology was reorganized as Ikutoku Institute of Technology.
Ikutoku Institute of Technology was renamed Kanagawa Institute of Technology in a hope
to develop as a university deeply rooted in the local community.
The Graduate School of Engineering was established.
The Institute has developed into a full-scale industrial university with 4 undergraduate
faculties, 11 departments, and 6 graduate courses, having a total of 5,000 students.

Student Exchange Program
KAIT is affiliated with the universities in China, Taiwan, Thai, and Sweden for students
exchange. Students can study at these hosting schools from 6 months to one year, and so can
the students from these hosting universities. Every year some of our Japanese students study
at these universities.
At the affiliated universities in the US or in Taiwan, students can take language training, English
or Chinese, as well as their major academic courses, eg. , engineering, chemistry, biology, and
flight operation, during their stay of 6 months. Students in this program can graduate within
four years. Their credits at the hosting college can be transferred and counted toward
graduation. Some scholarships will be granted as a part of tuition and travel expenses.
At affiliated schools in the US, in Taiwan, or in Singapore, students can take language training,
English or Chinese, as well as their major academic courses, eg. engineering, chemistry,
biology, and flight operation) during their stay of 2 to 4 weeks. Through staying in a different
culture and taking courses, students raise their language ability and level of cross-cultural
understanding. Credit transfer and financial aid are available.
One-month language program at affiliated schools in the US. Credit transfer and financial aid
are available.
Inviting lecturers from affiliated schools in the US for special sessions to KAIT students. Lectures are related to the oversea academic
programs of students major fields and given in English. A very beneficial program enriching academic competence and cross cultural
experience for the students unable to participate oversea programs.
