The Meeting of Engineering and Design... Changwon University Department of Clothing and Textiles & Department of Electronic Engineering Collaboration Draws Attention

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Sang-hyun] Professor Park Hye-won of the Department of Clothing and Professor Park Hong-gyu of the Department of Electronic Engineering at Changwon National University are receiving great responses for their interdisciplinary collaborative works.

According to Changwon National University on the 4th, Professor Park Hye-won serves as the head of the BK21 New Senior Smart Life Talent Development Project Group, and Professor Park Hong-gyu belongs to the BK21 Smart Industrial Complex Leading Talent Education and Research Group.

Their collaborative works create a unique wit by being different yet similar.

The two professors combined their curiosity from their respective fields to produce works titled ‘Liquid Crystal Art Composition Ⅰ’ and ‘Liquid Crystal Art Composition Ⅱ,’ which were invited to and exhibited at nationwide exhibitions and international shows.

Professor Park Hong-gyu, who researches liquid crystal alignment, smart windows, and electronic devices, discovered beautiful colors in a failed experimental microscope. Professor Park Hye-won, who studies fashion design and textile design, also felt an aesthetic sense from those colors, and upon examining the microscope images, she was captivated by the naturally created beautiful colors.

Together, they combined their efforts to work on textile design, and in December last year, they submitted these works to the Korea Fashion Form Association and the Korea Color Science Society International Exhibition, attracting significant attention.

The two professors said, “It was a truly fascinating project. We fully enjoyed the joy of abstract expressionist works, created by chance, being reborn as textile designs,” and added, “Starting next semester, Changwon National University plans to attempt collaboration through capstone design research involving students from the Department of Electronic Engineering and the Department of Clothing, aiming to implement convergence education between engineering and design.”
