STRATEGIC ALLIANCE OF ACADEMY-INDUSTRY COOPERATION ON AEROSPACE TECHNOLOGY EDUCATION, TAIWAN, R.O.C.

Aerospace technology is identified world-widely as the benchmark of national industry development. In Taiwan, there are departments of Aerospace set in universities and colleges. Nevertheless, plenty of related departments, such as mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, electronic engineering, and industrial engineering are widely established concerning about the field of aerospace technology. In order to stimulate the collaboration among relative departments in universities and colleges for energetic academy -industry cooperation, the Ministry of Education (M.O.E.) undertook the approaches to steer strategic alliance among academies and corporations, which will funnel and integrate all the relative efforts and resources for the target domains in aerospace industry. The alliances have three major attributes: reformation and revitalization engineering educational, potentially restructuring academy -industry partnership, and fitting all the related activities within the target domain technology. The suggestions from action research applied on developing industry/academy alliances on Aerospace technology education will be illustrated in this study.
