A BRIEF HISTORY
Educate more technologists to make contributions
In 1967, entrepreneurs Mr. Sun Fa-Min (called Father of Cable) and Mrs. Sun (Madam Chen Shu-Chuan) chose Hueilong, located at the intersection of Taipei and Taoyuan city, to establish a school. They started raising funds for a junior college. The objective of founding a junior college was to train more technicians to meet the economic development needs of the R.O.C. After two years of preparation, Lunghwa Polytechnic was approved by the MOE in November of 1969 and started recruiting students in December of the same year. In the beginning, there were only four departments: Mechanical Engineering, Electronic Engineering, Electrical Engineering, and Chemical Engineering.
In 1973, the school changed its name to Lunghwa Junior College of Technology. The school was renamed Lunghwa Junior College of Technology and Commerce in 1989. In 1998, the school was upgraded to a four-year college and was renamed Lunghwa Institute of Technology. In 2001, the Institute was ratified to change its name to Lunghwa University of Science and Technology. Many graduates have been outstanding and contributive in governmental and private institutions.

Connecting to Highway and MRT, this university has the great advantage of being located between GuiShan (Taoyuan City) and XinZhuang (New Taipei City). Built on a scenic hill, the campus features an incomparable beautiful view. With the sagacious government leaders, the support of elites in the industry, and the undivided hard work of the staff, the university made enormous progress.
