Samyang Group to Open Industry-Academic Cooperation Course for 120 Students at Sungkyunkwan University
Samyang Group has started to foster convergence talent by providing lectures using digital technologies such as untact (non-face-to-face) and SNS use.
Samyang Group announced on the 18th that it is conducting an industry-academic cooperation course for 120 undergraduate and graduate students majoring in Chemical Engineering and Polymer Engineering at Sungkyunkwan University.
The subtitle of the lecture "Special Discussion on the Petrochemical Industry" is "Special Discussion on Samyang Convergence Technology," designed to foster talent with both expertise, R&D and practical knowledge. The lecture is being held online to prevent the spread of new coronavirus infections.
The lecture, which will run for a total of 15 weeks until June, will be taught by about 10 people, including Kim Young-hwan, president of the CTO of Samyang Group, team leader of Samyang Group Research Institute, and Ph.D.-level project leaders. They will give lectures on next-generation promising material technology, market trends, and Samyang's convergence technology.
Through this lecture, the students will learn about information and electronic materials, food and bio, medicine bio and packaging, along with technological trends in industrial sites, and develop their ability to develop convergence technologies. At the end of the semester, a group presentation will also be held under the theme of Proposal of Technology and New Business Models Using Next Generation Promising Materials. Samyang Group helps with presentations through mentoring and provides benefits such as granting extra points when hiring Samyang Group and recommending scholarship students for industry-academic studies.
"As Samyang Group is engaged in heterogeneous and related businesses such as chemicals, food, information and electronic materials, and medicine and bio, it has strengths in developing convergence technologies," CEO Kim said. "We will continue to cooperate with industry and academia to contribute to fostering talents in convergence technology that will lead the era of the fourth industrial revolution."
Kim Yoon-chul, a professor at Sungkyunkwan University, said, "The use of chemical and chemical engineering technologies and hands-on learning about creating new values through convergence with heterogeneous technologies will greatly help students choose their careers in the future," adding, "This course, which will foster convergence talents demanded by the industry, is a win-win cooperative model."
