'''Feng Chia University''' ([[Chinese languages|Chinese]]: 逢甲大學) is a [[private university]] in [[Taichung City|Taichung]], [[Taiwan]]. It was named after [[Feng-Chia Chiu]] (丘逢甲 - Qiu Fengjia), a great contributor to Taiwan in the 1950s.

==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 [[Dadun|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.

==Present==
Striving continuously with perseverance for over forty years, the University has earned the reputation of becoming one of the most promising comprehensive universities in [[Taiwan]]. The Ministry of Education evaluation for the academic year 2006-2007 awarded the highest subsidy nation-wide to Feng Chia University. Currently it takes around 20,000 graduate and undergraduate students yearly in its eight Colleges ([[Engineering]], [[Business]], [[Sciences]], [[Construction and Development]], [[Information and Electrical Engineering]], [[Humanities and Social Sciences]], [[School of Management and Development]], [[Continuing and Extension Education]]). Its graduates of more than 150,000, working for governmental agencies and private enterprises, have contributed enormously to the overall economic miracle of [[Taiwan]].

In the contemporary era of high technology and [[knowledge-based economy]], the acquiring and applying of [[knowledge]] should be specialized, diversified, and multi-functional. FCU therefore has directed its construction toward renovating campus environment and facilities to cater for an [[e-learning]] era. The newly renovated digitalized Main [[Library]] adds to the traditional book-storing place with an active [[e-learning]] workshop. The new spirit of vitality is also seen in the establishment of many new innovative institutions, such as the [[Geographic information system|Geographical Information System]] Research Center, the [[Construction]] Research Center, the [[Business Incubation]] Center, the Office of Technology Licensing, the [[E-Commerce]] Research Center, and the Nano-Technology Research Center.
