Chang Chun-Yen

Chang Chun-yen (traditional Chinese: 張俊彥; 12 October 1937 – 12 October 2018) was a Taiwanese academic administrator and electrical engineer who served as the president of National Chiao Tung University (NCTU).

He was a member of Academia Sinica. He was also elected an international member of the US National Academy of Engineering in 2000 for contributions to Taiwanese electronics industry, education, and materials technology.

Chang is considered a founder of Taiwan's semiconductor industry, he was awarded the TWAS Prize for Engineering Sciences in 2006 and the Nikkei Asia Prize for Science in 2007.

Early life and education Chang was born on 12 October 1937 in Fongshan, Kaohsiung (formerly part of Tainan), Taiwan.

Because of his father's involvement, Chang was blacklisted and forbidden from going abroad to study, and therefore received his entire education in Taiwan. specializing in semiconductors. He was the first locally educated engineering Ph.D. in Taiwan. In 2002, he established the program "National System on Chip" (NSOC) to foster talent in system design.

Chang's former students went on to establish some of the largest hi-tech companies in Taiwan, including Acer, TSMC, and UMC.

Awards Chang was elected as an IEEE Fellow in 1987 "for his contribution to semiconductor device development and to education". and a foreign associate of the United States National Academy of Engineering in 2000.

Chang was awarded IEEE's Third Millennium Medal in 2000, and the Nikkei Asia Prize for Science in 2007.
