History

The university was established as the School of Industrial Instruction in 1912. The institution underwent several name changes and reorganizations during the Japanese colonial period in Taiwan. After the Republic of China central government settled in Taiwan as an outcome of the war against the Communist regime, the institution was renamed Provincial Taipei Institute of Technology in 1948 and served as a vocational technical college. In 1981, it was renamed National Taipei Institute of Technology. In the 1990s its status was upgraded to that of a university, resulting in its name change to National Taipei University of Technology in 1997.
In 2025 the National Taipei University of Technology partnered with the Taiwan Space Agency, Institute for Information Industry, and Industrial Technology Research Institute to offer a three year intensive program in satellite communications technology.
