Kwangwoon University is paving the way for international collaboration in semiconductor education.
Professors from Kwangwoon University recently delivered a series of lectures at the Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology (HCMUT) in Vietnam. This initiative, which began on January 12, involved three faculty members teaching core subjects in semiconductor design for two weeks.
Kwangwoon University Launches Semiconductor Lectures in Vietnam
The lectures focused on semiconductor circuit design and very large scale integration system design. They were aimed at third- and fourth-year students majoring in semiconductor engineering at HCMUT. Each faculty member provided over 10 hours of instruction per course, enhancing the students’ understanding of critical topics in the field.
In addition to the lectures, special seminars and workshops were organized for both undergraduate and graduate students. These sessions aimed to broaden educational exchange and foster collaboration between the two institutions.
Kwangwoon University: Key figures on semiconductor education initiative
- Lectures began on Jan. 12
- Three faculty members from Kwangwoon participated
- 10 or more hours of teaching per course
- Two-week lecture series
Future Plans for Academic Collaboration
This visit marks the first major exchange under a planned “2+2 joint degree program.” This program will allow HCMUT students to study for two years in Vietnam before transferring to Kwangwoon for an additional two years to complete their bachelor’s degree in semiconductor engineering. Both universities aim to expand their partnership through student exchanges and collaborative research initiatives.
Next Steps in the Partnership
- Expand the joint degree program
- Increase student exchange opportunities
- Develop collaborative research initiatives
This initiative sets a strong foundation for future collaboration in semiconductor education between Vietnam and South Korea.
