[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] “This is how college lectures are these days.”

Dong-Eui University held a department experience event introducing a vivid classroom where the latest major subjects are taught to high school teachers. It is a 'tasting' program that introduces cutting-edge major content to teachers who are educating future education consumers, high school students.

On the 6th, Dong-Eui University's Admissions Management Team conducted a special lecture on ‘AI-based Convergence Education Department Experience’ for 13 high school teachers from the Ulsan area at the Dong-Eui University Industry-Academia Cooperation Building Living Lab and Prime Convention Multipurpose Hall.

This was conducted as part of the ‘2021 Out-of-School Teacher Network Job Training’ run by the Ulsan City Education Training Institute.

Professor Kim Sung-hee of Dong-Eui University’s Department of Artificial Intelligence (Director of the Big Data AI Center) and Professor Yoon Joo-sang of the Department of Industrial ICT Technology Engineering (Director of the AI Convergence Research Institute) led the department experience and special lecture on related topics.

Professor Yoon Joo-sang gave a lecture titled ‘Artificial Intelligence and Education: Paradigm Shift,’ explaining AI, its application cases, and introducing AI-related departments.

The participating teachers are engaged in the ‘Ulsan Career and College Admission Expert Learning Community’ activities.

Choi Bu-sang, team leader and teacher at Ulsan Jungang Girls' High School, said, “Although interest in AI-related departments is increasing among students preparing for college entrance exams recently, there was very little information about what is learned and what kinds of jobs can be pursued in those departments.”

Teacher Choi added, “I expect that the department experience and training will help with more concrete career guidance.”

Dong-Eui University is transforming its university structure by intensively offering fields that will become the basic sciences of future industries.

Four to five years ago, the College of IT Convergence Materials and Components Engineering established majors such as Human System Design Engineering, Industrial Management and Big Data Engineering, the Department of Future Vehicles, and the College of Engineering established the Department of Bio Applied Engineering.

This year, the university is preparing for the future era summarized by big data, artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, and bio by newly establishing the Department of Artificial Intelligence in the ICT College of Engineering.

On the Dong-Eui University campus, the ‘Busan Artificial Intelligence Grand ICT Research Center,’ supported by the Ministry of Science and ICT with 18.7 billion KRW over eight years to nurture regional innovative talent, opened last year.

This year, Dong-Eui University is participating in the bio-health sector project of the ‘Digital New Technology Talent Nurturing Innovation Shared University’ program, supported by the Ministry of Education as part of the Korean New Deal project, aiming to cultivate core talents in national-level new technology fields.
