In fact, Koo Kyobin, a second-year student in the Department of Electrical Engineering who obtained three national technical certifications (Electrical Engineer, Electrical Construction Engineer, and Industrial Safety Engineer) and successfully secured employment, said, "Thanks to the special certification class run by the department, I was able to prepare for all the essential qualifications needed for the field and quickly found a job. I highly recommend participation to my juniors as well."

Kim Sanghyo, head of the Department of Electrical Engineering, stated, "Our excellent practice facilities, industry-focused curriculum, and certification-oriented educational environment are providing tangible benefits in strengthening our students' capabilities. We will continue to expand customized education to foster electrical professionals who can be immediately deployed to the industry."
