The Industry Perspective University Evaluation has been conducted since 2008 to expand communication between industry and universities, foster talent that meets industry demands, and improve university curricula. Industry personnel and talent development officers from related organizations directly evaluate the departments.

The 2024 evaluation covered 32 departments from 20 universities across five fields: textiles, media, electrical engineering, eco-friendly automobiles, and drones. The evaluation was based on three areas: industry-based curriculum design, operation, and operational performance. Universities receiving the highest evaluation are awarded a certification plaque jointly issued by the Ministry of Education, the five major economic organizations, and the Korea Engineering Accreditation Board, which was presented to the department during the ceremony.

President Choi Oechul stated, “Yeungnam University received excellent evaluations in education, research, social responsibility, and leadership in various global university rankings in 2024. The Industry Perspective University Evaluation reflects industry demands through practical curricula, and this result is due to our efforts to nurture students into talents suitable for the field.” He added, “We will continue to develop and operate field-customized curricula to contribute to national development, promote the common prosperity of human society, and nurture talents who lead changes in the era.”

Meanwhile, Yeungnam University has consistently produced top departments in various academic fields such as metal and steel, new materials, architecture (construction), general machinery, mechanical-automotive, electronic engineering-semiconductor, information and communication, computer software, petroleum and petrochemicals, environment, bio-pharmaceuticals, food, civil engineering, energy, and autonomous vehicles since 2009 in the Industry Perspective University Evaluation.
