National Chin-yi University of Technology (NCUT) was originally a private school founded by General Chang Ming and Ms. Wang Kuo-hsiu in 1971, aiming to cultivate advanced professional talents in engineering and management. The founders believed in the social responsibility of obtaining resources from the society and feeding them back to the society. Based on such selfless concern, they donated the school to the government in 1992 to actualize their ideal of “education is nothing but being role models for the students.”
Different from other universities in Taiwan, NCUT was originally found as a private institution in 1971. Later, its founders General Chang Ming and Lady Wang Kuohsiu donated the school to the government as contribution to the society. In recognition of their contributions, President Lee Denghui and President Chen Shiu-bian presented them with state citations in 1992 and 2005 respectively.
