A Study on the Development of UAM Training Programs Based on Technical Domain Analysis and Industry Demand in Daegu-Gyeongbuk
This study explores educational strategies for cultivating skilled professionals in Korea’s Urban Air Mobility (UAM) sector. Based on the national K-UAM roadmap, it identifies training needs across three core domains: operation, maintenance, and infrastructure. A structured survey was conducted with 62 organizations involved in UAM development. Results reveal a strong demand for simulation-based emergency response training, AI-assisted diagnostics, and smart infrastructure operation. Key barriers include the shortage of interdisciplinary professionals and insufficient practice-oriented curricula. Using DACUM and CDIO frameworks, this research proposes a modular, domain-specific education model. The findings serve as a foundation for establishing future UAM workforce policies and academic programs.
