Recent Innovations in Engineering Education in Hub Center for Engineering
Education of Yeungnam UniversityRecently, a society requires engineers to understand the international affairs and to be global experts
endowed with leadership.
Yeungnam university hub center for engineering education(also referred as 'YU HCEE') has been
operating in collaboration with 11 ‘participating’ universities and 8 ‘cooperative’ universities since
it was selected one of six Hub Center for Engineering Education in Korea by the government in 2012.
The vision of YU HCEE is “Implementing Creativity, Convergence, Communication and Culture in
Innovation Engineering Education. The objectives of HCEE are providing vision and goal of Innovationof Engineering Education, leading and supporting universities in embodying innovation agenda,
developing platform for cooperation among universities, industries, and government, and pioneeringdevelopment, operation, outcomes propagation of creative and convergence programs. The agenda
includes multidisciplinary CDP programs, enhancing creative problem solving capability, cultivating
hands-on experience, exchanges in innovation outcomes, establishing global-local network, educating
engineers with good characters and cultivating good nature based on tradition.
Major programs of HCEE are as follows:1) Creativity.convergence engineering education program including workshop, camp2) Overseas student field practices, visiting automotive industries in US, China and Japan.
3) International Capstone Design Camp for a week along with SAE baja contest. Foreign students andKorean students from participating universities collaborate together in culturally mixed team. The
main objectives of the camp are to cultivate design capability, international teamwork, andcommunication skills. It was a big success and beneficial to foreign students and Korean students.
4) Global exchanges in engineering education with foreign universities including SCUT, HKUST and KIT,etc.
5) Organizing Engineering education festival along with participating universities.
6) Food engineer education program among universities by experiencing culture and tradition. Also
science camps for elementary schools were hosted by participating universities to induce motivation ofstudying engineering majors.
YU HCEE is seeking to increase the role for global engineering talents through establishing global
network with famous universities including SCUT, HKUST, KIT, SIT and etc. Recently we had the signingof MOU with South China University of Technology('SCUT', China) and will exchange with Shibaura
Institute of Technology ('SIT', Japan) in the near future. Through maintaining a continuous relationshipwith leading universities and industries, YU HCEE is functioning as a hub of innovation center forengineering education. Additionally, YU HCEE is willing to cultivate 'GOOD' engineers via events such as
global field training program with outstanding students, international capstone design project camp,etc.
