The National Chin-Yi University of Technology (NCUT) was originally a private institution founded in 1971 to cultivate advanced professional engineering and management talents. As the founders believed in the social responsibility of giving back what you have taken from society, they donated the school to the government in 1992 to actualize their idea of "education is nothing but role models for students." NCUT is located in a newly developed satellite city where Taiping Industrial Area, Dali Industrial Park, Taichung Industrial Park, Taichung Export Processing Zone, and the Central Taiwan Science Park are located. It is also close to the "Golden Valley" –Taichung Precision Machinery Innovation Technology Park. Therefore, we have excellent opportunities and resources to conduct industry-academy cooperation.
Following the motto of "diligence, determinacy, sincerity, and honesty," we cultivate talents with professional skills and virtues – "professional know-how, humanistic concern, social responsibility, international outlook." At present, we have five colleges, including College of Engineering, College of Electrical Engineering and Information Science, College of Management, College of Humanities and Creativity, and College of General Education, 14 Academic Departments, 12 Master's Programs, and aPh.D. The program, with a student population of about 11,547.
Being endeavored to build an excellent learning environment, we have evolved from being a "green university of technology dedicated to quality industry" to the current objective of being an "innovation-oriented university of technology dedicated to the quality industry."
To achieve our mission of cultivating professional talents and renovating vocational education, we have founded a base in central Taiwan. Aspiring to satisfy the local industry's needs in central Taiwan, we cultivate professionals and promote students' ability in technology, research, and development.
Also, we enhance the faculty capabilities in work and R&D and advocate our ideas enthusiastically. NCUT enjoys the merits of being a national university while embodies the spirit of a private school. In the neighborhood of the precision machinery industrial community in Taiwan, our campus occupies 30 hectares on an excellent area that is ideal for conducting industry-academy cooperation. To cope with national development trends and changes in the social environment, we have set our own goals and objectives.
By integrating research with local businesses and industries, we have forged a friendly industry and academy environment. We encourage our faculty to engage in academic research and industry-academy cooperation, instructing our students to put the theories they've learned at school into practice.
Since our establishment, we have more than 70,000 alumni that are spread throughout the world. With ample experience in practice and solid knowledge of theory, our alumni have a positive attitude at work and receive high acclaim from industries and businesses.
With the belief in "NCUT's future as our future," our faculty members and students strive to strengthen the contents and quality of vocational training with a stable, practical, and positive approach. We also dedicate to promoting Taiwan's competitiveness and face the challenges of a new era.
The Office of International Affairs (OIA) was established on August 1, 2008, as a trend of the internationalization of higher education in Taiwan, to promote international academic exchange and to enhance NCUT's competitiveness. With a careful plan, we are enthusiastic about seeking cooperation between universities and scholars. Aiming to promote NCUT in the international arena, OIA is eager to recruit brilliant international students by offering awards, financial aid, and funding. Besides, we endeavor to seek cooperation with scholars in different fields by sponsoring international conferences, conducting joint research programs, etc.
