history

The history of the college began in 1922 as the Kansai Technical College ( 関 西 工 学 専 修 学校 , Kansai kōgaku senshū gakkō ). The school body founded the Kansai Higher Technical School ( 関 西 高等 工業 学校 , Kansai kōtō kōgyō gakkō ) in 1940, which was renamed the Technical School Setsunan ( 摂 南 工業 専 門 学校 , Setsunan kōgyō semmon gakkō ; Setsunan denotes the south of the Settsu province ).

In April 1949 it developed into the Technical University of Setsunan ( 摂 南 工業 大学 , Setsunan kōgyō daigaku ) and then in October 1949 to the Technical University of Osaka with three departments (civil engineering, architecture and electrical engineering).
