[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] Dongmyung University (President Jeong Hong-seop) has achieved great results by conducting various industry-academia convergence courses and industry-academia cluster courses despite the COVID-19 crisis.

The Industry-Academia Education Center (Director Yoon Jong-guk) of Dongmyung University's Social Customized Industry-Academia Cooperation Leading University Development Project conducted industry-academia convergence courses online, where the professor in charge lectured for 9 to 10 weeks out of the 15-week course, and external industry experts such as industry professors lectured for 3 to 4 weeks.

Although the transition to fully non-face-to-face classes in the first semester posed a risk of suspension, measures were prepared and implemented by revising the course operation management guidelines through the 'Industry-Academia Cooperation Curriculum Development Committee.'

Support for existing face-to-face classes was expanded to online classes (LMS videos and ZOOM classes), and in the second semester, 59 industry-academia convergence courses were operated for a total of 2,000 students across 19 departments, achieving significant results.

Through the industry-academia convergence courses, 74 industry professors, including CEO Shin Kyung-mi of World Top International, actively participated and delivered practical field know-how to the students.

The industry-academia cluster courses are extracurricular programs designed to enhance students' major abilities and strengthen employment and start-up competitiveness, offering 8 language courses, 16 major certification acquisition courses, and 5 employment and start-up courses.

A total of 457 students enrolled, and 182 students from 11 courses, including Youth Instructor Level 2 and Art Psychology Counselor certifications, successfully obtained their certificates.

Dongmyung University LINC+ Project Director Shin Dong-seok said, “Industry professors' special lectures were a new experience for students exhausted by continuous non-face-to-face classes,” and added, “The help of 72 industry professors from various institutions who willingly accepted video filming for the students despite their busy schedules was significant.”
