HISTORY Aware that having a well educated and talented work force is crucial to the long-term success of a business, Mr. Shan-Chih Lin, founder of Tatung Company, donated 80% of his personal assets to an association in 1942 to establish what is now known as Tatung University and Tatung Senior High School. Since then, the university has been the principal stockholder and the think tank of Tatung Company. Formerly known as Tatung Institute of Technology, which was accredited firstly as a two-year college and then as a four-year institute, Tatung University adopted its present name in 1999.

TTU has been working toward its principal mission of educating and training experts and professionals, especially those in the engineering, business management, and industrial design fields, to meet the increasing demands of the society and to satisfy the needs of economic, social, cultural, and other human developments.
