Div. of Mechanical System Eng.

Mechanical System Engineering Department first started out as Mechanical Engineering Department in October 1951, but was re-established as Precision Mechanical Engineering Department in September 1979, and then to a single, separate division in January 2009.The current Division of Mechanical System Engineering is divided into two majors: Precision Mechanical Engineering major and Applied Mechanical Engineering major. The curriculum in our division aims to foster experts with high-quality science technology, teaching the students the theories of mechanical systems engineering and the application abilities at the actual sites. In addition, by keeping close collaboration with other departments, new concept of education and research studies are actively being conducted in our division, trying to adapt to the fast changing new technology and industrial demands.Our division has successfully executed the national project characterizing new automobile technology in 1994 (60 billion won in 5 years) and NURI project on mechanical automobile in 2004 (25 billion won in 5 years). Based on the outcomes of such national projects, we have been selected for the aviation human resources project of Ministry of Land, Transport, and Maritime Affairs (supporting 1.8 billion won for the next 5years) and the great-sphere economy project of Ministry of Education, Science, and Technology (supporting 25 billion won for the next 5 years) in 2009. These big projects are helping our division raise better experts in mechanical system engineering field.
