Timber Construction Program

This program is intended to help you learn the best-organized theories and practices of wooden architecture at the level of university education. This curriculum enables you to build wooden structures using traditional methods on your own by repeating the practical exercises of construction. The curriculum is appropriate for those who aspire to become general carpenters or special shrine and temple carpenters and those who hope to be involved in timber construction projects such as the preservation of cultural heritage.

Our curriculum includes many subjects, such as Wooden Structure Framework Methods, Conservation and Restoration, Structural Design of Timber Structures, Wooden Structures, Integration and Practices, History of Japanese Architecture, and Timber Structure and Practices.

Aiming to be a "technologist-engineer who understands skills-" that supports society through manufacturing

The Institute of Technologists aims to develop human resources with the sensibility and ethics that will open up a new era by adding scientific and technical knowledge and management ability to the foundation of basic skills and "manufacturing spirit". I will. Here, we emphasize practical science, and instead of starting from theory as in the past, we first come into contact with things, experience and experience the life of things, discover problems from them, find solutions to them, and plan ourselves. We value the process of making it.

Therefore, the idea is completely different from the conventional science and technology university, and there are many practical subjects and long-term internships. Students are required to study and work hard, but I think it will have great significance in the future.

In this way, we will nurture pioneers who can realize themselves through "manufacturing." That is the Institute of Technologists.
