Chiba Institute of Technology was established in 1942, as Koa Institute of Technology, in Tokyo, in response to growing social demand for technology education. In 1946, the university was relocated to Chiba, and was renamed the Chiba Institute of Technology. In 2016, the Faculty of Engineering was reorganized into 5 faculties and 17 departments including the Faculty of Engineering, the Faculty of Creative Engineering, the Faculty of Advanced Engineering, the Faculty of Information and Computer Science, and the Faculty of Social Systems Science. Also, in 2024, the Faculty of Information and Computer Science and the Faculty of Social Systems Science will undergo a significant transformation as it becomes the Faculty of Innovative Information Science and the Faculty of Innovative Management Science as appropriate to leading the future with information. The Graduate School of Engineering, the Graduate School of Creative Engineering, the Graduate School of Advanced Engineering, the Graduate School of Information and Computer Science, and the Gradual School of Social Systems Science are home to 15 majors,making CIT one of the largest technology institutes in Japan with nearly 10,000 students.
In a period in which the public interest in creative design has grown significantly in the world wide level, the Chiba Institute of Technology is taking on a role as the flagship technological university, an undergraduate course whose students are studying for having the strength to compete in international contests, and graduate schools whose students and faculty are doing research in areas of great interest and importance.
