[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] Professors at the College of Engineering at Silla University are making remarkable achievements by consecutively winning government-sponsored research projects.

Recently, seven professors from the College of Engineering at this university secured national research projects worth a total of 954 million KRW from government agencies such as the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, the Ministry of Science and ICT, and the Ministry of Environment.

The faculty members from the Department of Chemical Engineering, Department of Energy Environment and Chemistry, Department of New Materials Engineering, and Department of Architecture have accumulated research project contracts totaling 6.0986 billion KRW over the past four years.

In 2017, the College of Engineering at Silla University was selected for national research projects worth 1.1179 billion KRW, 3.307 billion KRW in 2018, 726 million KRW in 2019, and 954 million KRW as of September this year.

The College of Engineering at Silla University is increasing the participation rate of undergraduate students in research to pass on diverse national project research experience and execution capabilities to students.

Through research conducted alongside professors, the College of Engineering enhances undergraduates' understanding of their major fields and strengthens their research and practical adaptability. Undergraduate students participating in research are also provided with monthly research incentives to foster an atmosphere focused on their studies.

Students who gain practical experience through this process are advancing not only to major domestic companies such as LG Chem and SK Hynix but also to public enterprises, promising overseas companies, university faculty positions, and well-known graduate schools in Korea.

Dean Cho Shin-ho of the College of Engineering said, “With the advent of the Fourth Industrial Revolution era and Japan’s export restrictions, interest in the manufacturing sector of materials, parts, and equipment is increasing, and national-level research and development projects are being actively promoted.”

Dean Cho added, “Based on the research capabilities accumulated so far, we will carry out more national research and development projects in the future and actively involve undergraduate students in research projects to nurture engineering experts needed for the Fourth Industrial Revolution.”
