Abstract	Students of Kyushu Institute of Technology successfully developed a 7kg nanosatellite, HORYU-II. The satellite was tested extensively at Center for Nanosatellite Testing. There are many lessons learned through its designing, development, testing and operation to be shared among the university satellite community. Since 2013, the university will launch a new post-graduate program, Space Engineering International Course, where Japanese and foreign students learn the basic space technology through hands-on experience gained by participating in a satellite project utilizing space engineering research infrastructure within the campus. The program is also carried out as United Nations/Japan long term fellowship programme to assist capacity building of basic space technology in countries that have little experience in satellite development. Selected students will be awarded Japanese government scholarship. This paper describes the space engineering education at Kyushu Institute of Technology.
