KNU set to receive a total of 31 billion won, including national, local, and response funds, for up to 4 years.
Kyungpook National University was selected for the 'Semiconductor Specialization University Support Project' promoted by the Ministry of Education and the Korea Institute for Advancement of Technology. Selected as an “Independent Type” for this project, KNU will receive 27.12 billion won from the government for up to four years. Including 2.5 billion won for local expenses and 1.4 billion won for response funds, the total project size reaches 31 billion won.
The ‘Semiconductor Specialization University Support Project’ is a new project established this year to focus on cultivating universities equipped with semiconductor (undergraduate) education capabilities in response to the demand for manpower in the industry. A total of 8 schools, including 3 in the Seoul metropolitan area and 5 in non-metropolitan areas, were selected into two types, the ‘Independent Type’ in which individual universities participate, and the ‘Shared Growth Type’ in which university associations participate.
Kyungpook National University will designate the Department of Electronic Engineering as the supervising department, and the Department of Materials Science and Engineering together with the Department of Physics will form a Semiconductor Specialization Project Group (Project Head: Professor Kim Hak-rin, Department of Electronic Engineering) to promote the project. A total of 23 semiconductor companies will participate as consortium companies, including the operation of an employment-linked industry-university scholarship program with DB Hitech Co., Ltd.
KNU will conduct specialized track certification education for each of the three semiconductor specialization fields of Circuits/Systems, Devices/Processes, and Materials/Parts/Equipment, and also cultivate semiconductor convergence talent through the establishment and operation of the Semiconductor Specialized Convergence Major. Micromodule education will also be available to provide customized multidisciplinary education. In addition, together with PBL (problem-based-learning) industry-university cooperation education, three specialized tracks of experimental, practical, and design education will be provided to undergraduate students based on industrial technology and educational demand.
Through these initiatives, Kyungpook National University aims to produce a total of 360 work-ready semiconductor professionals within the project period.
KNU President Hong Won-hwa noted, “Kyungpook National University has been able to once again solidify its position as a leading university in the semiconductor field through successive selections following the recent Regional Semiconductor Joint Research Institute Project. Semiconductors are evaluated as a national core technology. Cultivating next-generation semiconductor technology talent is cultivating the future of Korea. Kyungpook National University will fulfill its role at the center of that future.”
