The university traces its origins to the establishment of the School of Industrial Instruction (工業講習所) in 1912. This institution underwent several name changes and reorganizations during the Japanese colonial period in Taiwan. By the time the (Nationalist) Republic of China central government was about to settle from the Chinese mainland to Taiwan (as an outcome of the civil war against the Communist regime), this technical institution was renamed Provincial Taipei Institute of Technology (臺灣省立臺北工業專科學校) in 1948, and served as a junior vocational technical college. In 1981, it was renamed National Taipei Institute of Technology (國立臺北工業專科學校), and in the 1990s upgraded its junior college status to that of a university, resulting in the final name change to National Taipei University of Technology (國立臺北科技大學) in 1997. The university currently has 451 full-time faculty members.
The academics of National Taipei University of Technology includes 6 Colleges, 2 centers, and 1 office.
The Green Gate, completed in 2010, is one of the University's many efforts in making the campus more eco-friendly. It has won the Special Mention of Green Campus and Most Favorable Online in the 2010 Taipei Landscape Award.
The university is accessible from Zhongxiao Xinsheng Station of the Taipei Metro.
