Chitose Institute of Science and Technology

[EduCativ]

"The 21st Century is the era of Photonics" - we often encounter such statements. Chitose Institute of Science and Technology (CIST) primary purpose is to offer a unique educational experience that will lead students to an advanced level in the knowledge and techniques of the photonic sciences, which will undoubtedly be in the vanguard of technological progress in the 21st Century.
CIST is what is called "A Publicly-funded and Privately-run College," which was founded by the City of Chitose in 1998 and has been under the private management of a university corporation. We have endeavored to produce and send many able persons with our society research results to bear fruit there and bring the benefit back to CIST. We have also kept trying to help the students to build up their character here. In commemoration of CIST's 10th anniversary, we collected voluntary contributions and built an additional facility for environmental improvement.
As a specialist university, CIST has only one faculty. Faculty of Photonics Science consists of three departments: Department of Applied Chemistry and Bioscience, Department of Opto-Electronic System Engineering, and Department of Infomation Systems Engineering. In April 2002, the CIST Graduate School was launched, and CIST has built a solid foundation as a center of excellence for Photonics Science. Photonics Science and Technology is a beautiful and challenging field to create a flourishing and sustainable human world in the 21st Century.
You can study a wide variety of subjects such as history, economics, foreign languages, etc., for general education and electromagnetism, quantum mechanics, information processing, etc., as specialized subjects. However, it is impossible to master all things.
College provides an awareness of academia's world to you, and you study an introduction to the world. However, mastering introductory courses is not good enough to make use of the knowledge for society. We recommend that you study one of the subjects deeply that you get interested in. When you master one, you will gain confidence, and you will be able to start another field of study quickly, whenever you have a need, after leaving school. We are promoting lots of assistance, such as e-learning, to help you with self-directed learning.
Communication with friends is also an essential element of college life. It is a unique experience to improve your power of expression to let your friends know your opinion through communication with them and to cultivate your sociality through knowing the difference in value and the abilities you do not have. As Darwin said, the most intelligent or the strongest one cannot always survive, but the one who deals with changes in the environment can survive, which also holds human society. We hope all of you develop your strength, realize your weakness, learn here as the place you gain the power to respond to changes, and leave here as decent members of society.
