After 1980, iron and steel technical college (ISTC) was reorganized to college of industrial technology (CIT) in development of restructuring in iron and steel industry. This paper aims to describe character of present stage in CIT. By this reorganization, student to enter CIT are increasing in number. For this, there are decreasing at the rate of dispatched students in all of students. But a number of dispatched students are increasing, and many of dispatched students particularly studies mechanical engineering, material engineering, electrical engineering. The other hand, the change of quantity naturally influences change of quality. Comparatively speaking, point of dispatched students in entrance examination are lower than point of common students, but later, their school records run to high level. Because it seems to depend on external incentive. According to analysis of curriculum in CIT, the results are as follows: (1) Subject and contents of general education are not straightly reflected in intention of enterprises, but become conscious of dispatched students in process of lecture, method of teaching, way of instruction. (2) In the same way, subject and contents of professional education are not equivalent to micro-electronics-based technologies (progress of artificial intelligence, computerization), but among them are included fundamental and theoretical knowledge of higher education level in production of iron and steel. (3) Small group activity in iron and steel industry are called JK activity. Ability to improve production process in JK activity become increasingly more important and necessary for progress of iron and steel work with advanced maintenance technology. Therefore, it is necessary not only process and method of problem solving, but also theory and principle in higher education level of mechanical engineering, material engineering, electrical engineering. So far as purpose of dispatch and promotion system in enterprises is concerned, the role and function of CIT shift from training school for the elite that type of occupation is changed from "blue-color" to "white-color", to upgrading training school for step to supervisor.
