School History and Organizational Framework

National Yunlin University of Science & Technology (YunTech) was formerly known as the National Yunlin Institute of Technology. It was established in 1991 to ” provide higher vocational and junior college education to cultivate senior engineering management and technical lspecialists.” Due to its immense success, the school was renamed to National Yunlin University of Science & Technology on August 1, 1997, with approval from the Ministry of Education.

The school has over three decades of history, from its establishment, cultivation, takeoff, pilot, and branding to paradigm phases. When the school was first established, it was necessary to incorporate the vast sugarcane fields and the old buildings of the former Yunlin Middle School. There were a million school matters to attend to. Fortunately, our founding employee was able to embrace the ideas, work hard, and dedicate their efforts each step to gradually construct YunTech’s vast campus that you see today. Past Presidents and current President Neng-Shu Yang’s leadership have achieved numerous amazing successes, allowing YunTech to excel in four areas: student cultivation, teacher development, university contribution, and international influence.

YunTech will be ever more dedicated to pursuing innovation, confronting problems, and achieving breakthroughs in response to the effects of low birthrates, technological developments, and global sustainability concerns. In the future, the school aspires to be “an internationally renowned university featuring innovative teaching and industry connections” by achieving “teacher/student developments based on economy, environment, and social needs”; “making outstanding contributions to local and global welfare”; “shaping an innovative, smart, friendly, and sustainable campus”; and “ranking among the top 100 universities in Asia and top 1000 universities worldwide.” Our missions are to become one of the best science and technology universities in Taiwan for cultivating talents for the industry by assisting students in finding high-quality employment, developing local and international high-quality talents for national strategic industries, and establishing a model education for Taiwan’s science and technology universities.
