Three students from the University’s Semiconductor Specialized University Project Group have been finally selected for the “Global Education Program in Advanced Fields” organized by the Ministry of Education and the Korea Institute for Advancement of Technology (KIAT) and will take part in advanced-field global education at leading overseas universities during the upcoming summer break.
The selected students are Jae-Woo Park, a junior in the Department of Electronics Engineering; Tae-Woo Kim, a senior in the Department of Electronic and Communication Engineering; and Ji-Won Park, a senior in the Department of Electronic Convergence Engineering.
The “Global Education Program in Advanced Fields” is designed to foster outstanding global talent in the fields of artificial intelligence (AI) and semiconductors. The program supports specialized training and corporate internships at two leading overseas universities, including Purdue University and the University of Toronto. Outstanding students recommended through internal screening by participating universities in the Specialized University Project are then subject to in-depth interviews conducted by the organizing institution, KIAT, for final selection.
Those selected will complete mandatory pre-departure training around May to maximize the effectiveness of the overseas program, as well as safety training for their stay abroad. In addition, the students will participate in a one-month local education program during July and August, with support provided for program fees, dormitory expenses, airfare, and other related costs.
The three students selected for this global education program successfully passed both the university’s internal screening and KIAT’s final evaluation based on their outstanding academic performance, strong understanding of their fields of study, and excellent language proficiency.
In particular, through this program, the three students will complete customized curricula at leading overseas universities tailored to their respective majors and career goals. At Purdue University, Ji-Won Park from the Department of Electronic Convergence Engineering will participate in practice-oriented training in semiconductor processes; Jae-Woo Park from the Department of Electronics Engineering will receive specialized education in semiconductor design; and Tae-Woo Kim from the Department of Electronic and Communication Engineering will take part in advanced practical training in the field of artificial intelligence (AI) based on machine learning, further strengthening their global professional competencies.
Director Hyun-Cheol Shin encourages the students selected for the “Global Education Program in Advanced Fields.”
Hyun-Cheol Shin, Director of the Semiconductor Specialized University Project Group and Dean of the Graduate School, said, “I am pleased that our university’s outstanding students, who will lead future advanced industries, have been given the opportunity to experience cutting-edge technologies and receive high-quality education on the global stage.” He added, “We will continue to expand university-level support so that our students can grow into key global leaders in advanced fields such as artificial intelligence (AI) and semiconductors.”
