Chosun University Launches Full-Scale Training for '4th Industrial Revolution Era Professionals'

Establishment of 'Cheomdan Energy Engineering' and 'Artificial Intelligence Engineering' Departments from the 2021 Academic Year

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] Chosun University (President Min Young-don) is embarking on full-scale efforts to cultivate “specialized talents for the 4th Industrial Revolution era.”

Chosun University announced on the 17th that it will establish new departments in advanced fields, the Department of Advanced Energy Engineering and the Department of Artificial Intelligence Engineering, starting from the 2021 academic year.

Last November, the Ministry of Education announced that it would nurture talents in advanced fields from the 2021 academic year by establishing and expanding advanced departments at universities to actively respond to rapidly changing social changes.

Chosun University proposed two new advanced departments for nurturing talents in future core industries: ▲Department of Advanced Energy Engineering (College of Engineering) and ▲Department of Artificial Intelligence Engineering (College of IT Convergence), and recently received approval after review by the Ministry of Education.

The quota for each department is 50 students, increasing the university’s total enrollment by 100 students.

The Department of Advanced Energy Engineering researches renewable energy (solar, hydrogen, geothermal, wind, bio, waste) currently in the spotlight and high value-added future resources.

The curriculum of the Department of Advanced Energy Engineering covers acquiring knowledge of the basic characteristics and applications of future resource raw materials and deals with engineering applications in various renewable energy fields and technologies for improving energy efficiency.

It is expected to supply excellent talents to the Honam economic zone, which will lead the renewable energy and greenhouse gas reduction sectors as key future industries.

The Department of Artificial Intelligence Engineering is designed to cultivate creative convergence talents and practical professionals in artificial intelligence (AI) through intensive AI education.

Our government is establishing policies aiming to create an economic effect of up to 455 trillion won from artificial intelligence (AI) by 2030.

In particular, as a data-centered cutting-edge AI industrial convergence complex is being built in Gwangju Metropolitan City to innovate the regional economy and industry through the convergence of AI and industry, Chosun University’s Department of Artificial Intelligence Engineering is expected to become a hub for AI talent cultivation.

The Departments of Advanced Energy Engineering and Artificial Intelligence Engineering will recruit new students for the 2021 academic year starting from the second half of 2020.

President Min Young-don said, “With the establishment of these advanced departments, Chosun University will smoothly supply excellent talents in the fields of clean energy and artificial intelligence (AI) needed by industry, making a significant contribution to the development of the nation and local community economy.”
