[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Koo Dae-sun] The Department of Construction Systems Engineering at Yeungnam University has been selected as the top department chosen by companies.

On the 14th, Yeungnam University announced, "In the '2022 University Evaluation from the Industry Perspective' released by the Korea Engineering Accreditation Board, the Department of Construction Systems Engineering at Yeungnam University was named the best department in the civil engineering field. This is the second time the department has been selected as the top department since 2012."

The University Evaluation from the Industry Perspective is conducted by companies directly evaluating departments. It has been implemented since 2008 to expand communication between industry and universities and to foster talent that meets industry demands.

This year, an evaluation of new industry fields was added to nurture future talent, and efforts to activate universities' own industry-academia cooperation models?such as company-linked field training, opening employment-linked curricula, and signing business agreements with industries?were reflected in the evaluation indicators.

This year, evaluations were conducted on 42 departments across 26 universities in four fields: information and communication, civil engineering, artificial intelligence, and smart factory.

The evaluation committee, composed of industry and university representatives from 22 companies including LG Uplus, LG Chem, SK Telecom, Kakao Enterprise, and Hyundai Engineering, conducted the assessment.

The committee focused on three areas: industry-based curriculum design, curriculum operation, and outcomes. Universities receiving the highest evaluation are awarded a certification plaque jointly issued by the Ministry of Education, five economic organizations, and the Korea Engineering Accreditation Board.
