Hosted by College of Mechanical and IT Engineering and held at the YU Cheonma Gym on November 24
Joined by over 100 people in 21 teams including students of the YU LINC+ Project Team
Projects given to different teams by converging majors... Expected to improve problem-solving skills
[November 27, 2018]
The ‘2018 Wish Drone Festival’ hosted by the YU College of Mechanical Engineering was held at the YU Cheonma Museum at 1 p.m. on the 24th. This contest was designed to have students produce drones, which is a major sector in the 4th industrial revolution, to improve problem-solving skills through technological convergence among different majors.
Over 100 students in the YU LINC+ project team grouped into 21 teams for this contest. In addition to engineering students in mechanics, electric, electronic, computer, information communication, and robotics, students majoring in industrial design, business administration, statistics, biochemistry, etc. who are interested in drones grouped into teams of 3 to 5 members. They completed their projects by exchanging and integrating knowledge of each other’s majors by teaming up with students from same and different majors.
The theme of this contest was ‘automatic flight contest of self-built drones mounted with LED’. The students completed missions for this contest by designing drones, building drones using 3D printers, coding drone flight programs, LED design, and mounting the LED. This contest drew even more attention as various types of drones including the dualcopter, which is a flying object with two propellers that rotate in opposite directions, were submitted.
Meanwhile, the YU College of Mechanical and IT Engineering held 10 special lectures including a seminar for the contest for a period of five months including summer break for students to improve their competencies in their majors and to enhance their concentration for the contest.
