With Japan's shogunate losing power, Honma shifted from military aspirations to studying civil engineering at MIT, becoming its first Japanese graduate in 1874\. He later became a celebrated railroad engineer in Japan. An exhibit at MIT's Hayden Library highlights the lives of Honma and other early Japanese students, reflecting on MIT's historical ties with Japan and the transformative period for both nations. 44 [See all MIT archives](/tags/mit/best-of) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"CollectionPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/tags/mit/best-of/2024#page","url":"https://daily.dev/tags/mit/best-of/2024","name":"Best MIT Posts of 2024","description":"The most upvoted MIT posts of 2024, curated by the daily.dev community.","isPartOf":{"@type":"WebSite","url":"https://daily.dev"}},{"@type":"ItemList","@id":"https://daily.dev/tags/mit/best-of/2024#items","numberOfItems":4,"itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"url":"https://daily.dev/posts/5-free-university-courses-to-learn-machine-learning-3mvr9lk18","name":"5 Free University Courses to Learn Machine Learning"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"url":"https://daily.dev/posts/5-free-mit-courses-to-learn-math-for-data-science-0cszf8dzc","name":"5 Free MIT Courses to Learn Math for Data Science"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"url":"https://daily.dev/posts/how-i-learned-to-concentrate-hyuqxmn5q","name":"How I Learned to Concentrate"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":4,"url":"https://daily.dev/posts/samurai-in-japan-then-engineers-at-mit-k7bxrtaz7","name":"Samurai in Japan, then engineers at MIT"}]},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https://daily.dev"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Tags","item":"https://daily.dev/tags"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"MIT","item":"https://daily.dev/tags/mit"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":4,"name":"Best of","item":"https://daily.dev/tags/mit/best-of"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":5,"name":"2024"}]}]} ```
