Message
from the Chairman
Dr. Ken Kanai
Chairman of the Board of Trustees,
Kanai Educational Institution.
We are committed to turning out competent engineers
who will flourish on the global stage.
Living in the 21st century, we must diligently maintain our endeavors to promote a diverse dialogue between civilizations to gain the power to connect people and hearts across borders and oceans. As a result, we can further accelerate worldwide solidarity in education to ensure a continued succession of turning out judicious and wise highly skilled engineers. We believe this is how peace in the world can truly be achieved. The mission of our University and the foundation of our education are based on this belief. Here, at Fukui University of Technology, we are committed to producing competent engineers who will flourish on the global stage.

Dr. Tomoyuki Kakeshita
President, Professor,
Fukui University of Technology
The heart of FUT's success resides in a team of outstanding
faculty, staff, and administration members that is dedicated
to the students with the motto “all for the students”.
Founded by the Kanai Educational Institution in 1965, Fukui University of Technology (FUT) has produced a list of more than 30,000 alumni who have consistently made contributions in their professions. The heart of FUT's success resides in a team of outstanding faculty, staff, and administration members that is dedicated and committed to the students with FUT's mission statement “all for the students”. Given the dramatic speed of becoming more and more borderless in the 21st century, FUT is committed to providing an international community of learners with relevant undergraduate and graduate programs where our diverse faculty strives to help students explore their possibilities, ideas, and perspectives to prepare them for their future careers. Students can pursue their interests in a variety of disciplines under the elaborate guidance of a professor whom they choose to work with. Our academic programs include a range of educational trainings that are practice-oriented and yet rooted in basic theory to help prepare students to succeed in their chosen careers. A characteristic feature of our curriculum is that it is designed for students to be able to develop innovative ways of thinking based on scientific theories rather than to be merely loaded with superficial knowledge. I am pleased to have the opportunity to work closely with you on the FUT campus.
Founding Spirit
We cultivate a spirit of patriotism being rooted in the long-established history and tradition of the Japanese, foster individuals who value fidelity to principle, devote ourselves to our studies of science and technology, and thereby contribute to the welfare of human society.
Educational Motto
Fukui University of Technology strives to nurture engineers who are learned and cultured with a deep respect for human dignity, have a high level of scientific knowledge and technological skills that can build lives in harmony with nature, and who can act creatively on their own initiative to contribute to the development of the human society as well as to the wellbeing of humankind.
