National Cheng Kung University
National Cheng Kung University (NCKU; Chinese: 國立成功大學; pinyin: Guólì Chénggōng Dàxué) is a national public research university in Tainan, Taiwan. Founded in 1931 during Japanese rule as a technical and engineering college, it primarily teaches and conducts research in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.
Cheng Kung is organized into nine colleges which host undergraduate and graduate programs in 70 departments and 29 research institutes. In addition to its main campus in East District, Tainan, the university also operates National Cheng Kung University Hospital in North District, Tainan, and a satellite campus in Douliu. Most of its more than 11,000 undergraduates and 10,000 graduate students are enrolled in engineering, science, medicine, and design programs.
The university is a founding member of the Taiwan Comprehensive University System and the only Taiwanese member of the Worldwide Universities Network. Notable graduates include the current president of the Republic of China; a Nobel Prize laureate; a premier of the Republic of China; a president of the Control Yuan; presidents of Apple Daily, China Motor Corporation, and TSMC; and members of Academia Sinica.
National Cheng Kung University was originally established under Japanese colonial government in January 1931 as the Tainan Technical College, one of the oldest institutions of higher education in Taiwan. After the Japanese handover of Taiwan in October 1945, the school was renamed Taiwan Provincial Tainan Junior College of Technology in March 1946, and then to Taiwan Provincial College of Engineering in October the same year.
When the Republic of China government moved to Taiwan in 1949, it was one of the three existing colleges in Taiwan. As the number of colleges expanded, it was upgraded to a provincial university in 1956 as Provincial Cheng Kung University, named after Koxinga, a Southern Ming military general who drove the Dutch East India Company from Taiwan and founded the Kingdom of Tungning. In 1971, the university became a national university and was renamed National Cheng Kung University.[citation needed]
Former Minister for Education Wu Jin served as the first president of the new National Cheng Kung University.
NCKU is located in Tainan City, Taiwan. The main campus is situated across from the Tainan Railway Station, offering convenient transportation. NCKU has 11 campuses occupying a total of 187 hectares of land in the greater Tainan area, including the Cheng-Kung, Sheng-Li, Kuang-Fu, Cheng-Hsing, Tzu-Chiang, Ching-Yeh, Li-Hsing, Tung-Ning, Kuei-Jen, An-Nan and Dou-Liu campuses, and some areas designated for dormitory use.
On 12 January 2011, the Y. S. Sun Green Building Research Center was inaugurated. It is the world's first green educational center as well as Taiwan's first zero carbon building. The 4,800 m2 (52,000 sq ft)-facility cost NT$30 million (US$4.41 million) to construct, far below the original NT$180 million budget. Natural ventilation, limited power usage, reduced window size, and energy efficient lighting all contribute to the building's carbon neutrality.
