Gwangju University Computer Science Students Win Encouragement Award at Software Competition

KEPCO KDN Hosted '2022 Bitgaram Energy Valley Software Contest'

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] Gwangju University (President Kim Dongjin) announced on the 13th that two teams composed of computer engineering students recently won the Encouragement Award in the university student category at the ‘2022 Bitgaram Energy Valley Software Competition’ hosted by KEPCO KDN.

In this competition, the team "Igeo Daeyeo!" (Lee Seungmin, Kwon Hyeongtaek, Go Yunho, Shim Wooseok, Lee Sangmin) received high evaluations for their solution project for trading used goods.

Also, the team "Geureoke Hajo!" (Bae Ryanghyeon, Han Eunjin, Lim Minseon, Ji Yongsuk, Jo Seobin) developed an electric scooter management module and received high scores, earning the Encouragement Award.

The competition for university (graduate) students and Meister high school students in the Gwangju and Jeonnam regions saw a total of 42 entries, with 14 works advancing to the finals to compete.

Lee Seungmin (4th year), team leader of "Igeo Daeyeo!", stated, “The awarded project is a webpage service that provides not only price reduction effects for used products through item sharing but also allows sellers to sell at their desired price and buyers to try the products they want to purchase at a low price before making the final payment.”

"Geureoke Hajo!" team leader Bae Ryanghyeon (3rd year) said, “Electric scooters cannot be ridden by more than one person, but we proposed a management module (API) that can ensure user safety and prevent multiple riders. We developed a program to identify malicious users and make them aware that they are subject to fines and penalties.”

Professor Kim Heecheol, the Capstone Design advisor, said, “We will support students to take this award as an opportunity to engage in various activities and grow into talents who contribute to society. Also, we will guide them to take great interest in AI fields based on IoT, metaverse, and AR·VR, which are core technologies of the 4th Industrial Revolution.”
