National Taipei University of Technology (NTUT, Taipei Tech; Chinese: 國立臺北科技大學), a top-ranked public technological university in Taiwan, is located in the Daan District of Taipei City, Taiwan. The school was established in 1912, as School of Industrial Instruction, among one of the earliest intermediate-higher educational institute in Taiwan. During the post-war industrialization and economic growth era, the school produced some of the most influential entrepreneurs, leaders, educators, and researchers in the science and industrial field, as it is commonly referred to as "The cradle of entrepreneurship"(企業家的搖籃). The university is headed by Dr. Leehter Yao, who serves as the president. It is part of the University System of Taipei, along with National Taipei University and Taipei Medical University.
The university is still a leader in Taiwan in engineering, science, technology, innovation and design. Its comprehensive undergraduate and graduate programs offer degrees in the STEM fields (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) as well as professional degrees in design, architecture, management, humanities, and social sciences. The long history of Taipei Tech also made it one of the largest alumni bases of any university in Taiwan and across industries.
The school locates in downtown Taipei, in which its campus was divided into three sections during the city's development. The main campus (West, East, and South) in Taipei now only retains 22 acres of area in the central-most part of the city. It sits right next to the affluent Huashan 1914 Creative Park and the Guang Hua neighborhood, also known as the Electric Town of Taipei where people shop computer goods and electronics.
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.
