The National Taiwan University of Science and Technology was established on August 1, 1974, as the first higher education institution of its kind within our nation’s technical and vocational education system. By extending this system to the highest level, this new school was intended to meet the need created by our rapid economic and industrial development for highly trained engineers and managers. On attaining university status in 1997, the school reorganized itself into the following five colleges: engineering, electrical and computer engineering, management, design, and liberal arts and social sciences. Our departments include mechanical engineering, polymer engineering, construction engineering, chemical engineering, electronic engineering, electrical engineering, computer science and information engineering, industrial management, business administration, information management, architecture, industrial and commercial design,and applied foreign languages.
