History
In the 1950s, some of the gentry in the central Taiwan area proposed to establish one more university in this area; accordingly the preparation was started. It was entitled Feng Chia College of Engineering and Business, to commemorate Mr. Feng-Chia Chiu (Qiu Fengjia). In 1961 the College was formally established near the Da-Tun Mountain in northern Taichung City, and two years later moved to the present site Xitun in western Taichung. In 1980 it gained university status, having overcome the difficult years of laying a solid foundation.
