Faculty and Alumni
As a leading technological university many faculties received their doctorals from the world’s top universities. They include but not limted to Cambridge, Harvard, Stanford, Berkeley, MIT, Universities of London, Paris, and Tokyo. NCTU has more IEEE Fellows (16) on its faculty than any other university in Taiwan. A number of former faculty members now serve in prominent positions within the Taiwan government.
In addition to political involvement, NCTU alumni also dominate Taiwan's electronics, computer and business sectors with more than 500 Presidents and CEOs. Many alumni return to their alma mater as visiting professors.
The NCTU alumni association organizes this event and provides support to new graduates. Every five years, alumni and representatives from the five schools gather for a celebration of academic achievement in an expression of solidarity.

Famous quotes containing the word faculty:
“Reason is man’s faculty for grasping the world by thought, in contradiction to intelligence, which is man’s ability to manipulate the world with the help of thought. Reason is man’s instrument for arriving at the truth, intelligence is man’s instrument for manipulating the world more successfully; the former is essentially human, the latter belongs to the animal part of man.”
—Erich Fromm (1900–1980)
