The school was "born because of Ningbo". In 1983, Ningbo Higher Vocational College, as the first engineering-based university in Ningbo, came into being on the wave of reform and opening up. The school was "established because of Germany". At the beginning of its establishment, as one of the four universities built in China by the former Federal Republic of Germany, it drew on Germany's successful experience in implementing "engineer education" and cultivating an applied talent teaching system, laying the foundation for the application-oriented school positioning goal. The school is "strong because of use". In 1997, it became a national demonstrative general higher engineering college; in 2004, it was upgraded and renamed Ningbo Institute of Technology; in 2010, it became one of the first 61 universities to implement the "Excellent Engineer Education and Training Program" of the Ministry of Education; in 2016, it was selected as a national industry-education integration construction university; in 2021, it was approved as a master's degree awarding institution, and in the same year it was selected as a national education power project and the first batch of modern industrial colleges in the country. The school attaches great importance to discipline construction, insists on engineering as the main subject, and coordinates the development of multiple disciplines such as liberal arts, science, economics, and management.

The disciplines and majors are comprehensively arranged around the needs of local economic and social development, and have fully covered three major advantageous industries such as green petrochemicals, automobiles, and high-end manufacturing, as well as strategic emerging industries such as new generation information technology and new energy. The school vigorously promotes the construction of discipline platforms. In 2021, it was approved as a master's degree awarding institution and two professional degree master's programs in civil engineering and water conservancy and engineering management. There are 6 provincial first-class disciplines, 7 municipal key disciplines, 8 provincial and above discipline platforms approved, and the China-Central and Eastern European Countries Innovation Cooperation Research Center, which participated in the construction, was approved by the Ministry of Science and Technology of China to settle in Ningbo. Hangzhou Bay Automotive College and Robotics College were selected as national and provincial modern industrial college construction sites respectively. Teaching reform and professional construction have been fruitful. Five majors, including civil engineering, computer science and technology, chemical engineering and technology, mechanical design and manufacturing and automation, and logistics management, were selected as national first-class undergraduate professional construction sites, 10 majors were selected as provincial first-class undergraduate professional construction sites, 4 majors were selected as provincial advantageous and characteristic majors, 11 majors passed professional certification, 3 national first-class undergraduate courses, 71 provincial first-class courses, and won 2 national teaching achievement awards and Zhejiang Provincial Teaching Achievement Awards in the past three years. "Using competition to promote teaching" has become a trend, and the school has been recognized as "Zhejiang Classroom Teaching Innovation School".
