National Hohai Technology University (國立河海工科大學) was a university in Nanking, which existed between 1924 and 1927.
In the autumn of 1924, the Engineering College of National Southeastern University and Hohai Engineering Specialized School were merged to form National Hohai Technology University (or Hohai Technological University, Hohai University of Technology, Hohai University of Engineering, Hohai College of Engineering, etc.). Hohai Engineering Specialized School was established in 1915, with specialty of water conservancy. The Engineering College of National Southeastern University was established in 1921, with three departments: civil engineering, mechanical engineering and electrical engineering, and its predecessor is the Polytechnic Faculty of National Nanking Higher Normal School. The first president of National Hohai Technology University is Mao Yisheng. In 1925, Yang Hsiaoshu, the director of teaching affair, took over as president.
Dr. Mao Yisheng (Chinese: 茅以升; pinyin: Máo Yǐshēng; Wade–Giles: Mao2 I3-sheng1; January 9, 1896 – November 12, 1989) was one of the most famous Chinese structural engineers, a pioneer in bridge construction, and a social activist.
In June 1927, National Hohai Technology University was merged with National Southeastern University, along with several other public schools in Jiangsu province, to form the new Nanking capital national university under Nationalist Government, initially called National Dyisyi Chungshan University (Disi Zhongshan University), and soon later renamed Jiangsu University in February 1928 and renamed National Central University in May 1928, and the engineering college of the university was reestablished. In 1949, National Central University was renamed National Nanking University.
National Central University was founded in 1915 with roots from 258 CE in mainland China. Founded in Nanjing in 1915, NCU was the leading academic center in southeast China; the phrase “North the Peking University, South the Central University” at that time revealed the significance of NCU. NCU was renamed Nanjing University in 1949, and the former campus has been used by Nanjing Institute of Technology, which was later renamed Southeast University since Nanjing University relocated in 1952. NCU was re-established in Taiwan in 1962. The school was initially located in Miaoli but relocated to Zhongli in 1968 and developed into a comprehensive university. It has become Taiwan's leading school in drama, film studies, cultural studies, and gender studies, Hakka studies, geophysics, space science, remote sensing, astronomy, optoelectronics, nanotechnology, and business management as well as the first university in Taiwan to research industrial economics and economic development. NCU is a member of AACSB. In 2001, NCU was selected by the Ministry of Education as one of the eleven research-oriented universities in Taiwan.
In 1952 during the nationwide colleges and departments adjustment, the Engineering College of Nanking University formed several independent schools including Nanjing Institute of Technology which renamed Southeast University in 1988 and Each China Institute of Water Conservancy which renamed Hohai University in 1985.
