[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] Kim Tae-hyun, a second-year student in the Automotive Department at Dong-Eui Institute of Technology (President Kim Young-do), was selected as the recipient of the ‘2020 Korean Society of Automotive Engineers (KSAE) President’s Award’ by the Korean Society of Automotive Engineers, a corporation.

Founded in 1978, the Korean Society of Automotive Engineers is a leading academic society in automotive engineering. It promotes academic and technological development in the domestic automotive engineering industry through activities such as publishing journals and the Auto Journal, hosting automotive technology policy forums, and organizing university student car competitions.

The Korean Society of Automotive Engineers annually awards the KSAE President’s Award to revitalize automotive engineering majors and to discover and nurture talent in related fields. Recently, 29 students, including Kim Tae-hyun from the Automotive Department at Dong-Eui Institute of Technology, were selected as final recipients.

Kim Tae-hyun, who is majoring in Automotive Maintenance and Inspection within the Automotive Department, received the KSAE President’s Award based on evaluations of his school life and academic performance.

He also participated in the Busan BB21 Plus (Brain Busan 21+) project and successfully completed the eco-friendly automotive workforce training program.

Kim Tae-hyun said, “Although there were many difficulties at first, thanks to the strong guidance of the professors and the systematic practical training conducted at the university’s workshop, which is designated as an industrial engineer practical exam site, I was able to obtain the industrial engineer qualification in a short period and achieve good results throughout the year.”

Professor Jeong Ju-yoon, Kim’s advisor in the Automotive Department, said, “Despite the difficulties caused by COVID-19, Kim led the students well as the class representative over the past year. Building on last year’s selection for the Work-Learning Dual System for college students supported by the Ministry of Employment and Labor, we will nurture future-oriented automotive field personnel and strengthen our position as the top automotive specialized department in the southeastern region.”

The Eco-Friendly Automotive Workforce Training Project Group at Dong-Eui Institute of Technology (Director Kim Man-ho) celebrated a double success by being the only participating university to be selected as an excellent project group for two consecutive years in the second-year evaluation of the BB21 Plus project.
