In 1897, College of Science and Engineering (理工科大学) was established with the establishment of Imperial University of Kyoto.[2] It was divided into College of Engineering (工科大学) and College of Science in 1914.[2]

College of Engineering was reorganized into Faculty of Engineering (工学部) in 1919.[2]

In 1953, Graduate School of Engineering (工学研究科) was established.[2][3]

In the 1990s, A four-year plan to emphasize graduate school education was implemented and some departments were converted into independent graduate schools; Graduate School of Energy Science was established in 1996 and Graduate School of Informatics in 1998.[2][3]
