Hi,ENGINEERZ

A proposal for current trends in Aerospace
Engineering Education on Taiwan has been drawn from the
suggestions made after a national conference of “Workshop
on Aerospace Engineering Education Reform.” This
workshop was held in January 18-20, 1998, at the Institute
of Aeronautics and Astronautics, National Cheng Kung
University, Tainan, Taiwan, R.O.C.. The purposes of
holding this workshop is to review the current aerospace
engineering education, both at unders and graduate
programs, and then, try to make suggestions on course
planning, courseware materials and modern topics, so that
the aerospace graduates are able to work in the hightechnology,
challenging real world.
At the closure of this workshop conference, some
suggestions are proposed in details on the current trends of
four aerospace engineering education programs on Taiwan,
both for unders as well as graduate studies. In general,
under- graduate courses are stressed on fundamentals and
physical appreciation, whereas the graduate education is
structured to contribute to the advancement of technology.
International cooperation and technology transfer under
mutual interests are recognized as the best way to achieve
high technologies. It is expected that, the suggestions on
current trends of aerospace engineering education on
Taiwan would work as a good reference to other Countries
if they also choose aerospace technology as one of the
major industry in the challenging 21st Century.
