Ming Chi University of Technology (MCUT; Chinese: 明志科技大學) is a private university of technology in Taishan District, New Taipei, Taiwan. Established in 1963, it currently consists of three colleges: College of Engineering, College of Environment and Resources, and College of Management and Design.
MCUT has been consistently regarded as one of the top technical and vocational universities in Taiwan and is well known for its co-operative training programs.
Diligence, , Frugality and Trustworthiness.
This motto is the statement of belief by the Formosa Plastics Group, with MCUT being one of its subsidiaries. The first two terms indicate that MCUT expects students to be hard-working and to do right and meaningful things. Frugality and trustworthiness imply that students are taught to appreciate a simple and honest life. That is, students are trained to work hard pursuing their life goals and become useful members of the society.
The school was established as Ming Chi Institute of Technology in 1963 by Wang Yung-ching, an influential entrepreneur in Taiwan and founder of Formosa Plastics Group. With its impressive performance developing industrial professionals, the school was approved for upgrading to be a four-year technical college in 1999. After introducing more departments and research centers in subsequent years, the school was again approved in 2004 for and renamed Ming Chi University of Technology.
The school’s present name was chosen in recognition of a former private academy which was located in the vicinity of MCUT. Founded by Hu Cho-Yu during the Ching Dynasty, the 'Ming Chi Academy' was the first private school in northern Taiwan. It is believed that MCUT was named 'Ming Chi' to motivate and encourage its students to learn the teachings from virtuous elders.
