History
Koshu Gakko (工手学校, lit. technicians school) was founded in 1887 by educator, politician, and president of Tokyo Imperial University, Koki Watanabe, and professors of Tokyo Imperial University.
The Koshu Gakko was an evening school. It had civil, mechanical, electric, architecture, ship building, mining, metallurgical, and chemical engineering courses when it was established. In 1928, the school was renamed "Kogakuin" which means "Institute of Engineering" or "Institute of Technology" in Japanese.
In 1949, the school was chartered as a four-year university. In 1964, it had master's courses; in 1966 it had doctorate courses in the graduate school.
