Starting this September, the newly established LG Electronics TV SW course will feature direct lectures by executives and employees from the HE Research Institute, including Lee Kang-won, Executive Director in charge of TV SW development at LG Electronics, offering a more practical curriculum focused on theoretical learning and hands-on practice.

First, a four-week system software-related class will be organized to enhance understanding of the Smart TV operating system. Next, the course will introduce Web-based (Linux system, middleware, apps) technologies and the latest technologies (AI, Big Data), providing diverse experiences based on media-related open source.

In particular, students will gain development and operational experience (DevOps) through real cases of large-scale software development, release (distribution), and configuration management (maintenance), as well as demonstrations and control of AI technologies applied to TVs and connectivity with devices.

Through the Capstone Design (creative comprehensive design) process, students will directly manage the entire process from planning, designing, to production based on the theories learned in class, developing problem-solving skills for issues they may encounter in real-world settings.

This course offers students the opportunity to apply various services and software technologies in an actual platform environment, while the company expects to quickly deploy talented individuals with diverse experiences into practical work.

The LG Electronics TV SW course targets 3rd and 4th-year students majoring or double-majoring in Computer Science. The university may recommend academically outstanding students for LG Electronics. LG Electronics will select students who meet the R&D department’s industry-academia scholarship recruitment process from among the recommended candidates and provide industry-academia scholarships.
