As a national political consultant in the pre-presidential palace, Mr. San-lian Wu responded to the government’s encouragement to private representatives to establish a school to help develop professionals for industry and business. He invited the enthusiastic local academics Wen-Ping Hsin, Xiu-qi Wu, and Li-tang Chang to donate funds to establish a first-class school. Since our humble beginnings STUST has grown from a junior college of engineering to an institute of technology to our current standing as a university of technology.
