Recruiting master’s and PhD students in the Department of Automobile Lighting Convergence Engineering from October 27
Huge support such as scholarships, overseas projects, and industry-academic projects
[October 25, 2017]
There has recently been an increasing demand for LED-IT convergence technologies for smart lighting for vehicles. It is intended not only for design, but also driver safety. The automobile lighting convergence professional fostering project is being carried out by YU, Korea Polytechnic University, and the Daegu-Gyeongbuk Design Center. It is leading the fostering of professionals in automobile lighting equipped with global capacities through the support of the transportation device specialized lighting key technology development professional fostering project within the industry professional capacity strengthening project supported by the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy, Korea Institute for Advancement of Technology, Gyeongsangbuk-do and Gyeongsan-si.
YU is the main institute that fosters key technical professionals for LED-IT convergence for automobile lighting, while the Korea Institute for Advancement of Technology and the Daegu-Gyeongbuk Design Center are participating as participating institutes that are in charge of fostering high-power LED light source technology personnel for vehicles, comparing designs, and planning and operation processes.
The YU automobile lighting convergence professional fostering project team founded the Department of Automobile Lighting Convergence Engineering with the support of the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy and is operating master’s and PhD programs. The Department of Automobile Lighting Convergence Engineering is carrying out joint industry-academic-research projects based on corporate demand to incubate personnel with R&D capacities meeting recent technological trends.
The Department of Automobile Lighting Convergence Engineering is conducting ▶practical education based on professional design and analysis tools used in automobile lighting companies, ▶reflecting opinions of companies when making the curriculum, and ▶carrying out joint industry-academic projects proposed by companies for all participating students under the leadership of professors. Students will have the opportunity to gain experience by working on R&D projects that can be applied immediately to companies and to interact with current corporate professionals.
18 companies such as Hyundai IHL, SL and AMS participated in the joint industry-academic projects related to automobile lamps. A total of 15 projects were carried out and currently nine are being worked on. An automobile lighting industry-academic-research expert forum and expert counsel were established to construct a technical cooperation network among companies, researchers and universities related to automobile lighting. The automobile lighting technical trends and convergence technology workshop was held as a special session of the Korean Society of Automobile Engineers. This year, the launching ceremony and workshop for the automobile lighting and transportation device convergence lighting research association will be held during the lighting electricity equipment society at the Korean Science Technology Association Hall on the next of next month.
