History
editIn the beginning, Wenji Hsu(許文治; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Khó͘ Bûn-tī), the then governor of Yunlin County, believed that there was only one College in Yunlin County, which was disparate compared to other counties and cities, so the development of high-level education standards in Yunlin was a top priority. Initially, he did not succeed in his bid to get National Chung Cheng University established in Yunlin, so he continued to fight for the establishment of a university of the high level, with the goal of "contributing to the development of education in Yunlin". At the beginning of the school's construction, the County Government provided the Ministry of Education as the site for the school's construction. In addition, Yunlin Junior High School had to be relocated due to the establishment of the Yunlin Institute of Technology. [8]
National Yunlin Institute of Technology (1989–1997)
edit- The Executive Yuan approved the establishment of the Preparatory Office and the Ministry of Education approved the establishment of the National Yunlin Institute of Technology in 1989. Dr. Wen-Hsiung Chang (張文雄; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Tiuⁿ Bûn-hiông), then president of National Taipei University of Technology, was appointed as the director of the preparatory office.
- National Yunlin Institute of Technology was officially established on July 1, 1991, with 352 new students, and the first president was Dr.Wen-Hsiung Chang, the director of preparatory work. On August 1 of the year, the first phase of construction was completed, and eight departments were initially established: mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, electronic engineering, industrial management, business management, information management, industrial design, and business design.
- In accordance with the Ministry of Education to encourage the conversion of meritorious schools into technical colleges, National Yunlin Institute of Technology was renamed National Yunlin University of Science and Technology(Yuntech). Along with National Taiwan University of Science and Technology and Chaoyang University of Technology were the first batch of technical colleges in Taiwan to be successfully converted into technical universities.
National Yunlin University of Science and Technology (1997–present)
edit- In 2001, President Wen-Hsiung Chang retired and was succeeded by Dr. cōng-míng Lin(林聰明) as the second president, with the goal of "building a humanistic learning environment, and making every effort to promote industrialization, e-corporation, and internationalization."[9][10]
- In 2005, Cheers Magazine's Best Universities Guide ranked National Yunlin University of Science and Technology 9th in the country for the amount of money spent per person on student talent and research ethos. 。[11]
- In 2009, Dr. Yǒngbīn Yáng(楊永斌), a tenured professor at National Taiwan University, took over the presidency of Yunlin University of Science and Technology, with the goal of developing "a strong academic culture and first-class creativity.[12]
- On December 6, 2018, signed a memorandum of cooperation with National Taiwan University, and National Formosa University to establish the National Yunlin University Consortium.
