President of CYUT
Chung-Jen Chin, Ed.D.

  Taiwan has long been the hub of communications in the Western Pacific. It has, over the past five decades, grown into a strong and important entity in the global economics, owing to the government's devotion to the infrastructure of common education and industrial advancement. Chaoyang University of Technology is located in the central part of Taiwan. After into the foundation of Central Taiwan Science Park, Chaoyang University of Technology become the hub of not only cultures and technologies but also cutting-edge delicate machinery and biotechnology. The twenty-first century is an age of knowledge economics, which accentuates a balance of technology, management, innovation, and humanism. We have five colleges at Chaoyang University of Technology-College of Management, College of Science and Engineering, College of Design, College of Humanities and Social Sciences, and College of Information primary goals of which are to develop specialized human resources and to project research plans that conform to the needs of Taiwan in information technology , biotechnology, and R&D for higher value-added products. We are avant-garde both in promoting the competitive niche of Taiwan, and in pursuing academic excellence. Taiwan has been accepted a member of WTO. The joining of Taiwan into such an international trading organization brings about unavoidable liberation and globalization in not only the business itself but the economics as a whole. Such an impact increases a keen demand for skilled human resources in all professions. Besides basing itself in Taiwan, Chaoyang University of Technology seeks intensive overseas academic exchange and cooperation from areas around the world. We aim at close links by means of strategic alliance for the integration of local and foreign resources to cultivate our students to think globally, value teamwork, embrace life long learning, and serve mankind as a global villager.

 
   
  History
   
 

    Chaoyang University of Technology was founded in 1994 through the generosity of Dr. Tien-sheng Yang, president of the Ever Fortune Group, a major R.O.C. conglomerate, in memory of his parents, and in return for the support he received throughout the years from the people and communities of central Taiwan. In 1988 he chose a site in Taichung County's Wufeng Township, and after six years of preparation, on April 14, 1994, it received permission from the Ministry of Education to begin accepting students as "Chaoyang Institute of Technology." The school takes its name from a passage in the Chinese classical work "The Book of Changes," a phrase which captures the school's vigorous growth and its students' active commitment to learning.

    In its first year, Chaoyang had eight departments and over 900 students. Due to its commitment to quality in education and outstanding achievements, on August 1, 1997, Chaoyang was designated by the Ministry of Education as a University of Technology, the highest level in the R.O.C.'s polytechnic educational system. This designation, coming only three years after Chaoyang opened its doors, set a record in the R.O.C. 's educational history, which remains unbroken. In addition to its new designation, Chaoyang has continued to expand, and today boasts four colleges, nine graduate schools, and nineteen departments, as well as its Evening Division, General Education Center, Center for Teacher Education, Continuing Education Center, Office of Research and Development, The Business Incubation Center, and affiliated kindergarten. Faculty and staff now number 556 and student enrollment is 13,402.

  Chaoyang's Insignia
   
 

Chaoyang's insignia is blue and white. These colors symbolize the serenity and detachment essential to the pursuit of knowledge and learning.

 

  The insignia itself uses four square T-shapes, standing for technology, and four beams of light directed inward, each ending at a bolt-like block at the center. The outer border is octagonal, representing the eight trigrams of the I-ching. The beams of light are concentrated around a central sun, which symbolizes youth in pursuit of knowledge. The four T shapes represents the school's commitment to excellence in instruction, excellence in resources, vocational programs, and improvement of commerce and industry. The four bolt shapes represent the faculty's dedication to instruction, research, and mentorship of students.
