Taiwan's design education began in 1957 when the National Taiwan Art College (now the National Taiwan University of the Arts) established the Fine Arts and Crafts Department. After half a century of rapid development, it has promoted vigorous growth of many design-related departments in Taiwan's universities. The respective design education has also changed from the basic design training merely in the classroom to the cross disciplinary teaching mode that reflects industry trend and government policy. The qualitative approach applied in this paper includes historical research and documentary analysis methods. The former is used to construct the background and context of the student graduation exhibition in Taiwan while the latter is then to analyze the literature, to sort out the development of the Taiwan Design Education Achievement Exhibition, and to build the related connection with this exhibition in terms of its historical representation. This study investigates Taiwan's design education development in depth and divides Taiwan's students design exhibition history into four stages based on the timeframe, representative exhibitions and related activities. These stages which based on Taiwan's design education viewpoint are 1) inception: achievement exhibition; 2) development: graduation exhibition; 3) maturity: student graduation exhibition; and 4) localization and cross-disciplines: design education achievement exhibition. The study intends to identify the correlation between design activity and the formulation of national design policies through reviewing the student graduation exhibition that shows the development of Taiwan's design education.
