History

• The initiative began in April and May 1971, when a group of university professors met in Santiago de los Caballeros and proposed a small institution devoted to postgraduate programmes in non-traditional fields, continuing education, executive courses and research.这一构想始于 1971 年 4 月至 5 月，一批大学教授在圣地亚哥—德洛斯卡巴列罗斯聚会，提议创办一所小型院校，专攻非传统领域的研究生课程、继续教育、高管课程与科研。
• On 9 March 1972 the founders signed the constitutive act: Ramón Flores, Rafael Emilio Martínez and Félix Forastieri Sanabia, together with their wives Teresa Gómez de Flores, Thelma Belliard de Martínez and Aleida Bello de Forastieri.1972 年 3 月 9 日，拉蒙·弗洛雷斯、拉斐尔·埃米利奥·马丁内斯与费利克斯·福拉斯蒂耶里·萨纳维亚三位创办人偕同各自的妻子特雷莎·戈麦斯·德弗洛雷斯、塞尔玛·贝利亚德·德马丁内斯与阿莱达·贝略·德福拉斯蒂耶里签署了建校章程。
• Presidential Decree 2389 of 15 June 1972 incorporated the institute as a non-profit organisation, giving legal form to a project that had no owners and whose assets were declared to belong to Dominican society.1972 年 6 月 15 日的第 2389 号总统令将学院注册为非营利机构，使这一没有所有者、其资产被宣告属于多米尼加社会的项目获得了法律形式。
• Teaching began on 9 October 1972 in classrooms lent by the La Salle School, the Colegio Dominicano de La Salle, with three postgraduate programmes in industrial engineering, economics and business administration, the first of their kind in the country.1972 年 10 月 9 日，学校在多米尼加拉萨尔学校借用的教室里开课，开设工业工程、经济学与工商管理三个研究生项目，这是该国最早的研究生层次课程。
• The founders financed the start with a 900-peso loan from the Educational Credit Foundation, the Fundación de Crédito Educativo and personal contributions from members of the founding council, a modest base for what became a national university.创办人依靠教育信贷基金会提供的 900 比索贷款以及创办委员会成员的个人捐款启动办学，这一微薄的基础后来发展成一所全国性大学。
• In July 1973, one year after opening, INTEC added undergraduate degrees in civil engineering, industrial engineering, medicine, economics, administration, accounting and social sciences.1973 年 7 月，即开学一年后，学校增设土木工程、工业工程、医学、经济学、管理学、会计学与社会科学等本科学位。
