NTIT was established in 1974 with the goal, on the one hand, of cultivating highlevel engineering and management talent to help raise the general level of industrial technology development in the ROC; on the other, to provide an advanced training ground for graduates of technical schools, along with young and outstanding basic and middle-level technicians.
技術學院成立於民國六十三年，創校宗旨一方面是配合國家經建計畫，培養高級工程及管理技術人才，來提昇我國未來工業的技術層次；另一方面則為職業學校及專科學校畢業生開闢進修途徑，使工業界年輕、優秀的基層與中級技術人員，有機會接受較高層次的科技訓練。
