¡@ engineering, electronic engineering, civil engineering, textile, and architecture.
1981 Converted into National Taipei Institute of Technology.
1987 The architecture division of the Department of Industrial Design became independent as the Department of Architectural
¡@ Design. The Department of Industrial Engineering was renamed the Department of Industrial Engineering and
¡@ Management. The Department of Nuclear Engineering stopped admitting students.
1988 The Department of Mining and Metallurgy was renamed the Department of Materials and Mineral Resources.top
1994 Upgraded to be National Taipei Institute of Technology with 4- and 2-year programs. Dr. Frank Tien-Jin Chang was
¡@ assigned as the first President by the Ministry of Education. The two-year program began to admit junior college
¡@ graduates to the Departments of Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Materials and
¡@ Mineral Resources, Civil Engineering, Electronic Engineering, and Industrial Engineering . The four-year program started 
¡@ to admit high-school and vocational school graduates to pursue studies in the Departments of Mechanical Engineering,
¡@ Electrical Engineering, Chemical engineering, Materials and Mineral Resources, Civil Engineering, Textile, Electronic
¡@ Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Industrial Design, and Architectural Design.
1996 Institute of Mechatronic Engineering was established.
1997 National Taipei Institute of Technology was renamed National Taipei University of Technology. Added to the University
¡@ were two departments: Department of Vehicle Engineering and Department of Refrigeration and Air-conditioning
¡@ Engineering. And in addition to the Institute of Mechatronic Engineering, three more institutes were established: Institute
