Kanazawa Institute of Technology (金沢工業大学 Kanazawa Kōgyō Daigaku?) is an institution of higher learning in Japan. It is often called KIT, koudai (工大 kōdai?) or Kinko (金工 Kinkō?) for short.

It is known for its unique educational policy that attaches importance to initiative of students. One of the examples is Yumekobo (夢考房 Yumekōbō?), coined from yume (dream), (thought, to think) and kōbō (workshop), where students take parts in their projects and research on solar cars, universal design, etc.
