[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] The Computer Department of Gyeongnam Information University (President Chu Man-seok) has been selected as the only vocational college outside the Seoul metropolitan area to participate in the Pro Bono ICT Mentoring Project organized by the Ministry of Science and ICT.

This is also the first time a vocational college has been selected for this public interest project.

This project is a knowledge-sharing initiative where leaders from renowned IT companies serve as mentors to selected student teams, imparting practical skills and knowledge.

Until now, the project was mainly conducted with four-year universities, but it has been expanded to include vocational colleges starting this year.

A total of five teams from the Computer Department (Advisors Kim Kwang-hyun and Ahn Seong-woo) were selected for each project.

The five projects being conducted with mentors are: ▲Non-contact height measurement system using ultrasound ▲Remote control with snoring recognition function ▲Development of an integrated feeder for various pets ▲Care service companion robot for elderly living alone ▲IoT automatic steering dispenser system.

Kim Kwang-hyun, head of the Computer Department, said, “It is meaningful that five teams were selected for this project, which lays the foundation for nurturing talent in the field of artificial intelligence, the first among vocational colleges,” and added, “We will continue to increase opportunities for students to collaborate and learn with famous companies.”
