In the recent national qualification exam conducted by the Human Resources Development Service of Korea, a total of 18 candidates from Yeungjin College?including 17 second-year students from the AI Convergence Mechanical Department and one graduate?passed and obtained the national technical certification.


It is reported that a total of 19 candidates from the Yeongnam region (Daegu, Gyeongbuk, Busan, Gyeongnam) passed this qualification exam. Yeungjin produced 18 of these successful candidates, except for one, demonstrating overwhelming superiority in nurturing talent in the precision measurement field.


The Precision Measurement Industrial Engineer certification evaluates the ability of ‘precision measurement technology,’ which measures whether mechanical parts have high precision or if produced products conform to the designed specifications. The specialized talents produced in this way contribute to stabilizing product quality in industrial sites.


Yeungjin College has been operating a Calibration Measurement Technology Center for over 20 years to support calibration measurement tasks for industries not only in Daegu and Gyeongbuk but also in the Busan and Gyeongnam regions, contributing to enhancing the quality competitiveness of local industries.


The Calibration Measurement Technology Center possesses 175 types of measurement equipment and instruments capable of measuring length, angle, roughness, hardness, force, and torque, and provides various precision measurement services such as 3D measurement, shape and surface roughness measurement, laser measurement, and hardness measurement to local industries.


The center is recognized as the only KOLAS-accredited calibration institution among nationwide junior colleges and is also the only KOLAS-accredited calibration institution among 2- and 4-year universities nationwide.


Additionally, to nurture talent in the precision measurement field, the college has established precision measurement practice labs and applied measurement practice labs, providing specialized job training not only to its students but also to Meister specialized high school students nationwide and industry workers.


Kang Kyung-ho, a second-year student in the AI Convergence Mechanical Department at Yeungjin College who obtained the certification, said, “Thanks to the Yeungjin Autonomous Improvement Habit Program, a non-curricular course, where I received both practical and theoretical education using the equipment and instruments at the Calibration Measurement Technology Center, I was able to pass the qualification exam without much difficulty.”


Including this year’s successful candidates, Yeungjin has produced 165 Precision Measurement Industrial Engineers over the past 11 years.


A representative from Yeungjin College stated, “Graduates who have obtained the Precision Measurement Industrial Engineer certification are employed by major companies such as POSCO, Hanwha, Daewoo Tech, and Toray Advanced Materials.”



Yeungjin College was selected for the Ministry of Education’s ‘Advanced Field Innovation Convergence University’ project in the fields of ‘Artificial Intelligence’ and ‘Intelligent Robotics,’ and on the 5th of this month, it was also selected in the ‘Semiconductor Materials, Parts, and Equipment’ field. With this, Yeungjin participates in the most fields nationwide among junior colleges related to this project, and is the only junior college in Daegu and Gyeongbuk to participate, gaining further momentum in nurturing talent in new technology advanced fields.
