Chiba Institute of Technology began as Kōa Institute of Technology (興亞工業大学, Kōa kōgyō daigaku^?) and as founded by Higashikuni Naruhiko, Kuniyoshi Ohara　(Tamagawa school head teacher), Kotaro Honda (Tohoku University head teacher), Hidetsugu Yagi　(Tokyo Institute of Technology head teacher), Shigenao Konishi (Kyoto University Previous head teacher), Yuzuru Hiraga (Tokyo Imperial University head teacher), Nobuteru Mori (Mori Konzern founder･See also Shōwa Denkō), Satoru Mori (Son Nobuteru Mori) in 1942. The college was built at what is now the site of Tamagawa University in Machida, Tokyo by the Ministry of Education.

The college was established that on the occasion of a national crisis within Japan that it may be used as national policy College. The purpose of the college's construction was to be "Dissemination of engineering education to the Asian people".

The college took full-scale support from Tokyo University, Tohoku University, Tokyo Institute of Technology as an educational institution to bring up the engineers who would lead a nation. Materials engineering courses, a mechanical engineering course, and an aeronautical engineering course were implemented.

In 1944, a preparatory course and the foundation headquarters move to Sophia University in Kōjimachi from Tamagawa school.　The metallurgy course work was relocated to the Kawasaki Heavy Industries factory yard in　Kawasaki, Kanagawa in September.

The college changed its name into "Chiba Institute of Technology" in 1946 and moved to the Kimitu campus. Four years later, it was moved to the present location.
