Founded in 1963 by the Florida Legislature, UCF opened in 1968 as Florida Technological University, with the mission of providing personnel to support the growing U.S. space program at the Kennedy Space Center and Cape Canaveral Air Force Station on Florida's Space Coast.
As the school's academic scope expanded beyond engineering and technology, Florida Tech was renamed the University of Central Florida in 1978.
