Taiwan's only school with a ceramic engineering department.
Yingge Vocational High School began preparations in 1996 and formally opened in 1997, in the heart of Yingge — the town known across Taiwan as “Jingdezhen of Taiwan” for its centuries-old ceramics industry. The school offers four vocational departments: Ceramic Engineering, Art & Craft, Data Processing, and Advertising Design, and is the only vocational school in Taiwan with a program dedicated specifically to ceramic engineering. Its graduates go on to work throughout Yingge's pottery workshops, kilns, and design studios, keeping the district's signature craft alive for a new generation.
鶯歌高工於民國85年(1996年)籌備,86年(1997年)正式創校,座落於有「台灣景德鎮」之稱的鶯歌——這座擁有數百年製陶歷史的小鎮核心地帶。學校設有陶瓷工程科、美術工藝科、資料處理科、廣告設計科等四個職業類科,是全台唯一設有陶瓷工程專業科別的高職。畢業生持續投入鶯歌各陶瓷工坊、窯場與設計工作室,為這座工藝小鎮培育出一代又一代的接班人。
