ORGANIZATION
NTU's Computer and Information Networking Center was originally named “Center of Electronic Computing.” Established in 1963, it was run and managed by the Department of Electrical Engineering in the early years. In 1975, the jurisdiction of the Center was reassigned to the College of Engineering. In 1986, with the approval of the Ministry of Education, the Center became a first grade unit directly under the supervision of the university president. In December of 1995, in accordance with the revisions of the ordinances of university structure, the Center was renamed “Computer and Information Networking Center,” or briefly as “C&INC.”

The positioning and qualifications of the Center are: the center of an e-university, the center for computing, the center for information, and the center of networking. The Center is comprised of six components, which are: the administrative office, the system design division, the e-learning division, the information management division, the network management division, and the medical informatics division. These agencies within the Center provide innovative, safe, convenient, and high quality computing and networking environments to the NTU community with a view toward upgrading the quality of teaching, research, and services.

Prospects for the Future
With the advent of the mobile cloud generation, we will continue to work towards an electronic mobile school administration, provide and set up a safe and convenient information and communication service environment, support the teaching of teachers in the school, integrate and improve the efficiency of the research and learning environment and also to allow teachers and students to be able to access the computing resource systems and services provided by NTU campus anytime and anywhere through their mobile devices. Our target is to construct a first class university’s information and communication environment to enhance the international competitiveness of NTU.
In order to support teachers and students with their research, teaching and learning, information and communication has to play an active and positive role. Our target is to further commit to set up an advanced information and communication environment based on our foundation, to make the resource easily accessible, sharable and fully utilized. We will also continue to purchase important software products used for teaching and research. Based on the spirit of sharing resources, we will strive to provide a diverse common computing environment and high performance computing environment to enhance the effects of research and learning. The network infrastructure will go through a comprehensive upgrade, a fast and convenient computing and communication service, including the broadband, will be provided too. All these moves are to achieve a ubiquitous electronic campus, hence creating an innovative and high technology i-NTU campus.
