[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] The Office of Educational Innovation at Dong-Eui University (Director Lee Young-hak) held a 'Major Competency-Based Curriculum Development Manual Briefing Session' on the 9th at the PRIME Multipurpose Convention Hall on the first floor of the Industry-Academia Cooperation Building.

The event was held in two sessions to prevent the spread of COVID-19, with department heads and major professors from each department attending. The sessions were divided between science and engineering colleges such as the College of Medical, Health and Life Sciences, College of IT Convergence Components and Materials Engineering, College of Engineering, and College of ICT Engineering, and humanities colleges such as the College of Humanities and Social Sciences, College of Business, and College of Arts, Design and Physical Education.

Dong-Eui University is developing major curricula that reflect academic trends by department (major), national and regional industry trends, occupational trends, industry demands, the needs of current students and alumni as education consumers, university development plans, and talent ideals to prepare for changes in the educational paradigm and the post-COVID-19 era.

Following the briefing session, workshops for curriculum development by major and second-round workshops by college will be held in September and October.

Lee Young-hak, Director of the Office of Educational Innovation at Dong-Eui University, stated, "We plan to realize the advancement of competency-based curricula that derive major competencies reflecting internal and external environments, educational demand, and curriculum analysis results to enhance learners' capabilities."

Dong-Eui University has established the talent ideal of 'Collaborative Talent Creating a Forest Together' and has branded 'Collabo Education' as its own educational brand.

The university is restructuring its academic structure and system from a professor-centered approach to a student competency development-centered approach. Collabo Talent refers to integrative talents who possess not only technical and major knowledge but also six core competencies: character and basic literacy, creativity and critical thinking, self-management, glocality, sharing, communication, convergence, and challenge achievement abilities.

Meanwhile, Dong-Eui University develops new courses and various extracurricular programs annually to support the Collabo education system, and introduced the Professor Competency Certification System (SUN) this year to enhance faculty capabilities.

This system consists of the professor's Specialty, Utilization (class operation competency), and Network (communication competency). Additionally, the university plans to strengthen industry-academia cooperative education by involving experts from local communities and industries in education, establishing a system where the university's research and educational capabilities lead to the practical development of the local community.
