Dong-A University Department of Electrical Engineering Wins Excellence Award at Campus Patent Universiade

Students from the Department of Electrical Engineering at Dong-A University received an Excellence Award at the ‘2023 Campus Patent Universiade’.

The team, consisting of undergraduate students Park Jeyoon, Park Jihwan, and Jung Mina from Dong-A University's Department of Electrical Engineering, participated in the patent strategy planning category and received the ‘Samsung SDI Sponsored Excellence Award.’ They were the only recipients of the Excellence Award from universities in the Busan, Ulsan, and Gyeongnam (Bu-Ul-Gyeong) region.

They analyzed patent trends and directions, as well as core patent acquisition strategies to enhance competitiveness for the ‘Wireless BMS (Battery Management System)’ technology, which is highly likely to be adopted in electric vehicles.

They also proposed solutions to various problems arising from the application of the wireless BMS system, strategies to secure a dominant market position compared to competitors, and future visions.

Hosted by the Korean Intellectual Property Office and jointly organized by the Korea Invention Promotion Association, the National Academy of Engineering of Korea, and the Korean Federation of Science and Technology Societies, this competition aims to encourage practical patent education based on patent big data utilization, cultivate intellectual property talents needed by companies, and supply universities' creative ideas to the industry.

The competition was divided into the patent strategy planning category and the invention commercialization category, with 31 sponsoring companies participating, including Samsung Electronics, Samsung SDI, LG Display, LG Chem, POSCO, and Hyundai Heavy Industries.

Student Park Jeyoon said, “Through patent analysis and problem-solving, I was able to deeply learn about market trends, technology flows, and research directions for wireless BMS technology for electric vehicles. Based on this experience, I will strive to become a talent needed in society. I hope many students participate in the competition with confidence and gain valuable experience.”
