YU (President Sur Gil-soo) held the ‘2018 YU SMART Engineering Festival’. This event was organized to share the performance and excellent cases of the Ministry of Education’s PRIME (Program for Industrial needs – Matched Education) project (hereinafter ‘PRIME project’) pursued by YU.
This event, which was held for two days on the 22nd and 23rd at the YU Cheonma Gym, Mechanical IT College and College of Engineering, was an event to see the research outcomes of undergraduate students participating in the PRIME project, as well as products that were designed and produced by the students.
The YU PRIME Project Team (team leader Han Dong-geun) that hosted this event held the ‘Engineering Idea Contest’ and ‘3D Printing Contest’ from October.
The engineering idea contest presented solutions of 27 engineering perspectives that integrated the creative ideas of students for local social issues in fields such as local economic promotion, disaster and safety, environment and welfare. The 3D printing contest received huge interest from participants by producing 12 3D print products in not only the mechanical, automotive, and robot sectors, but also in everyday life.
The YU PRIME Project Team leader Han Dong-geun that prepared for this event said, “The students’ capacities developed significantly while pursuing the PRIME project for three years since 2016. The outcomes can be checked at the 2018 YU SMART Engineering Festival.” He added, “Visitors will be able to see that YU is the cradle for fostering human resources who will lead the 4th industrial revolution.”
Meanwhile, drone flight contests and robot soccer tournaments targeting middle and high school students were also carried out, as well as an employment fair at this event.
