Four Ways to Learn Drones in Taiwan: Universities, Licences, Competitions, and Vocational Training
Taiwan has no 'drone department.' The system's core is National Formosa University's Department of Aeronautical Engineering — a NT$90M Ministry of Education training base sited inside the Chiayi drone cluster, the only one of 18 regional bases located in an industrial park, plus a NT$50M lab with a large low-speed wind tunnel. And the 2026 Presidential Cup's three challenge topics (edge AI recognition, high-precision positioning, GNSS-denied autonomous navigation) are almost a mirror of the industry's Layer 3 gap.
