The School of Industrial Instruction was established
at the current address of National Taipei University of Technology,
instructing courses in civil engineering, metalwork and electrical
engineering. |
| 1918 |
The Industrial School of the Japanese Viceroy’s Office
in Taiwan was added, admitting Japanese students to study
mechanics, applied chemistry, and civil engineering. |
| 1919 |
The Institute of Industrial Instruction, the Viceroy’s Office
in Taiwan, was renamed the Public Taipei School of Industry. |
| 1921 |
The Industrial School of the Viceroy’s Office in Taiwan
was renamed State First School of Industry in Taipei, still
admitting Japanese students. The Public Taipei School of Industry
was renamed State Second School of Industry in Taipei, admitting
Taiwanese students. Students of both schools still received
their education on the same campus. |
| 1922 |
State First School of Industry in Taipei was renamed Taipei
First School of Industry, a five-year school, admitting Japanese
as well as Taiwanese students. |
| 1923 |
Taipei First School of Industry and Taipei Second School
of Industry combined to form State Taipei School of Industry.
An electricity department was added to the school, which was
divided into five-year and three-year programs. |
| 1929 |
The three-year program of State Taipei School of Industry
was converted into a two-year program. |
| 1937 |
The Department of Mining and Metallurgy was established.
There were in all six departments then: Mechanics, Civil Engineering,
Applied Chemistry, Electricity, Architecture, and Mining Metallurgy
Departments. |
| 1945 |
Taiwan was liberated from the Japanese Empire, and State
Taipei School of Industry was renamed Provincial Taipei Vocational
School of Industry. |
| 1948 |
Provincial Taipei Industrial Vocational School was upgraded
to be Provincial Taipei Institute of Technology, offering
a five-year program, admitting junior high-school graduates
to study in the fields of Mechanics, Electrical Engineering,
Chemical Engineering, Mining and Metallurgy, Civil Engineering,
and Electronic Engineering. |
| 1953 |
A three-year program was established, admitting senior high-school
and vocational school graduates to study in Textiles, Mechanical
Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Chemical Engineering,
Civil Engineering, Mining and Metallurgy, Electronic Engineering,
and Industrial Engineering. |
| 1961 |
A two-year program was founded, admitting industrial school
graduates to major in Electronic Engineering, Mechanical Engineering,
Electrical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Nuclear Engineering,
and Industrial Engineering. |
| 1965 |
An evening three-year program was established, admitting
senior high-school and industrial school graduates who had
fulfilled their military obligation or were exempt from military
service to complete in four years their education in Mechanical
Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Electronic Engineering,
Chemical Engineering, Mining and Metallurgy, Civil Engineering,
Textiles, Industrial Design, and Industrial Engineering. |
| 1972 |
Started cooperation with public and private enterprises
to help train work force, provided material testing services
as well as opportunities for further education and technical
cooperation. |
| 1977 |
Established a two-year supplementary school, which admitted
high-school and vocational school graduates to complete in
three years their education in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical
Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Industrial Engineering,
Electronic Engineering, Civil Engineering, Textiles, and Architecture. |
| 1981 |
Converted into National Taipei Institute of Technology. |
| 1987 |
The architecture division of the Department of Industrial
Design became independent as the Department of Architectural
Design. The Department of Industrial Engineering was renamed
the Department of Industrial Engineering and Management. The
Department of Nuclear Engineering stopped admitting students. |
| 1988 |
The Department of Mining and Metallurgy was renamed the
Department of Materials and Mineral Resources. |
| 1994 |
Upgraded to be National Taipei Institute of Technology with
4- and 2-year programs. The two-year program began to admit
junior college graduates to the Departments of Mechanical
Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Chemical Engineering,
Materials and Mineral Resources, Civil Engineering, Electronic
Engineering, and Industrial Engineering . The four-year program
started to admit high-school and vocational school graduates
to pursue studies in the Departments of Mechanical Engineering,
Electrical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Materials and
Mineral Resources, Civil Engineering, Textiles, Electronic
Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Industrial Design, and
Architectural Design. |
| 1996 |
Institute of Mechatronic Engineering was established. |
| 1997 |
National Taipei Institute of Technology was renamed National
Taipei University of Technology. Added to the University were
two departments: Department of Vehicle Engineering and Department
of Refrigeration and Air-conditioning Engineering. And in
addition to the Institute of Mechatronic Engineering, three
more institutes were established: Institute of Computer, Communication
and Control Engineering, Institute of Civil and Disaster Prevention
Engineering, and Institute of Production System Engineering
and Management. In the same year, the University began to
admit two-year on-the-job program students. |
| 1998 |
Institute of Electrical and Energy Engineering, Institute
of Technological and Vocational Education, Institute of Materials
and Mineral Resources Engineering, Institute of Commerce Automation
and Management were established. Department of Architectural
Design changed its name into Department of Architecture. |
| 1999 |
Six more master degree programs were added to the original
ones, they were: Graduate Institute of Manufacturing Technology,
Graduate Institute of Air- Conditioning and Refrigeration
Engineering, Graduate Institute of Opto-electronic Technology,
Graduate Institute of Biochemical and Process Engineering,
Graduate Institute of Organic and Polymeric Materials, Graduate
Institute of Architecture and Urban Design. Department of
Business Management and Department of Applied English were
established in the same year, both of which belong to the
two-year program. |
| 2000 |
Up until the year 2000, we have in all nine departments
for two-year programs, twelve departments for four-year programs,
and nineteen graduate programs for the master’s degree. |
| 2001 |
Two Ph.D. programs and two undergraduate departments were
established: Graduate Institute of Mechanical and Electrical
Engineering, Graduate Institute of Engineering Technology,
Department of Photonics, Department of Computer Science and
Information Engineering. |
| 2006 |
President Tsu-Tian Lee, along with 29 teachers and students
of NTUT, visited The Republic of The Gambia from August 17th
to September 1st. President Lee was awarded “National Honor”
