S3 EP6｜Bilingual Buzz at NYCU｜外太空中的台灣：福衛八號 Taiwan in Outer Space: FORMOSAT-8
2025 年 11 月，「福爾摩沙衛星八號」計畫中的第一顆衛星——「齊柏林衛星」正式升空。其實，台灣的衛星發展早在近 30 年前就已展開。一路走來，經歷了哪些轉變？而堅持發展「台灣製」衛星，背後又承載著什麼樣的目標？在本集節目中，邀請你與我們一同探索。
在台灣的太空發展歷程中，陽明交大也扮演了不可忽視的角色。人稱「火箭阿伯」的機械系吳宗信教授，不僅是現任國家太空中心主任，更是「福衛八號」計畫的重要推手之一。不只如此，他對火箭的熱愛，竟然還使他成為五月天歌曲 MV 角色的原型！另一方面，土木系史天元教授長期參與太空中心的影像校正工作，同時也是「福衛八號」的重要回饋者之一。除此之外，陽明交大近年也開設了太空所。
如果你也對太空、衛星與台灣的科技未來感到好奇，這一集，邀請你一起啟程～
【本集聊什麼】
■ 「福衛八號」和前七代相比，有哪些關鍵突破？

In November 2025, Taiwan’s first FORMOSAT-8 satellite—the Chi Po-lin Satellite (FS-8A)—launched into space. Taiwan’s satellite program actually started nearly 30 years ago. What has changed along the way, and why insist on “Made in Taiwan” satellites? In this episode, we explore these questions.
NYCU has also played a key role. Professor Wu Jong-Shinn, known as “Rocket Uncle,” is the current director of the Taiwan Space Agency and a main driver of FORMOSAT-8. His love for rockets even inspired a character in a Mayday music video! Professor Shih Tian-Yuan from Civil Engineering has long worked on satellite image calibration and contributed to FORMOSAT-8. NYCU has also recently set up a Space Institute.
Curious about space, satellites, and Taiwan’s tech future? Join us for this episode!

S3 EP5｜Bilingual Buzz at NYCU｜電腦音樂：科技與藝術的跨界融合 Computer Music: When Tech Meets Art
你知道什麼是「電腦音樂」嗎？你可能會很意外，陽明交大音樂所不但設有「電腦音樂」主修，師生更在國際競賽中屢獲佳績。
電腦音樂的形式多元，其核心理念是透過電腦程式編寫，產生不同於傳統樂器的聲響，進而創作並演奏出獨特的樂曲。陽明交大在理工、醫學、應用藝術等領域擁有跨域的優勢，因此這個主修在校內有著得天獨厚的發展環境，學生畢業後的道路也十分多元，包括晶片工程師、音效設計師等。
在本集節目中，我們將討論這樣的音樂形式如何激發新的創作想像。不僅是對音樂本身的突破，更對藝術的本質提出啟發：形式的創新、藝術作為交流的過程、以及「動手做」所帶來的動力。
一起來探索電腦音樂的魅力與可能性吧！✧◝(⁰▿⁰)◜✧
【本集聊什麼】
■ 用 coding、米粒、繪圖板都能做音樂？
■ 國際獎項得主曾教授分享：「電腦音樂的爽度特別高！」
■ AI 音樂成趨勢，國際獎項也列為重點發展方向

Do you know what computer music is? You might be surprised to learn that the Institute of Music at NYCU offers a major in computer music, and that its faculty and students have repeatedly won awards in international competitions.
Computer music comes in many forms, but at its core, it involves using computer programming to produce sounds that differ from traditional instruments. With NYCU’s cross-disciplinary strengths in engineering, medicine, and applied arts, this major enjoys an exceptionally supportive environment, and graduates have diverse career paths, including chip engineers and sound designers.
In this episode, we explore how this form of music sparks new creative possibilities. It not only pushes the boundaries of music itself but also offers insights into the essence of art: innovation in form, art as a process of interaction and exchange, and the motivating power of hands-on creation.
Come discover the possibilities of computer music with us! ✧◝(⁰▿⁰)◜✧
【What’s in This Episode】
■ Making music with coding, rice, or a graphic tablet?
■ International award winner Prof. Tseng: “Computer music has great amenity.”
■ AI music trends, and awards are paying attention.
