About us

National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University ("NYCU") was founded on February 1, 2021, through the merger of two top research universities - National Yang Ming University and National Chiao Tung University. The new university's motto, "Embrace innovation, pursue excellence, seek truth, and practice benevolence" (「知新致遠、崇實篤行、真知力行、仁心仁術」) is derived from the two original school mottos. NYCU inherits the strong advantages in fields such as electrical engineering, information and communications technology, biomedical sciences, science, and engineering from the original schools. After the merger, NYCU combines the expertise of both schools to further develop key areas such as healthcare and artificial intelligence, semiconductors, and other fields, with the goal of becoming a top global bilingual university. 

The College of Engineering is composed of the Department (Institute) of Mechanical Engineering, the Department (Institute) of Civil Engineering, the Department (Institute) of Materials Science and Engineering, the Institute of Environmental Engineering, the Institute of Space Systems Engineering, and Graduate Degree Program of Robotics. The departments offer undergraduate and graduate programs while the institutes offers only graduate programs.
