National Taipei University of Technology

The School of Industrial Instruction was established at the current address of National Taipei University of Technology, instructing courses in civil engineering, metalwork and electrical engineering in 1912.

This institution underwent several name changes and reorganizations during the Japanese colonial period inTaiwan. 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 in 1948, and served as a junior vocational technical college.
