历史
National Cheng Kung University was established under Japanese rule in January 1931 as Tainan Technical College (臺南高等工業學校; from 1942 to 1945 , 臺南工業專門學校). After the end of Japanese rule, the school name was changed to Taiwan Provincial Tainan Junior College of Technology (台灣省立台南工業專科學校), then Taiwan Provincial College of Engineering School (台灣省立工學院).
When central government of the Republic of China 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, then national university in 1971. Former Minister for Education Wu Jin served as the first president of the new National Cheng Kung University. Today, there are nearly 22,000 students in National Cheng Kung University through 9 colleges, 40 departments, 82 graduate institutes, and 55 research centers.
