　　This University's vision is to become a teacher-training-based and well-concentrated multiple-disciplinary university. In conjunction to this vision, the College of Technology not only continues preparing schoolteachers and conducting related academic research and development, but also prepares professionals in the fields of engineering and management. At present, both DIE and DITE respectively offer undergraduate, master's and doctoral programs, and the DGAC offers undergraduate and master's programs. Apart from this, the Graduate Institute of Mechatronic Technology was approved to be founded in this College in 2002.
