Department introduction
- Department introduction
- The learning ground to Actualize the dreams of the future leaders of the Fourth Industrial Revolution
Department of Semiconductor Equipment Engineering - Semiconductor and display are two of the few areas in which South Korea excels in terms of market share and technological advancement. Also, semiconductors, displays, solar cells, and related material industries yield sales of trillions won each year from the whole globe based on the wide and solid market foundation. The Department offers the theoretical and hands-on education to establish a wide base of potential careers in the device industries, such as integrated circuit with semiconductor equipment, components, materials, solar energy, and displays that are sharing the technological base with semiconductors.
Strengths
- The faculty of the Department has field experiences of 10~20 years in the best device, component, material and customizing semiconductor corporations such as Samsung, SK Hynix, and DB Hitek (previously Eastern Hitek) to accurately diagnose the needs for diverse human resources in the semiconductor industry. With their knowhows on education of rich theoretical and technical knowledge, they have designed, run and apply a meticulous and precise curriculum to fulfill the field needs.
Educational objectives
- Students learn the theories and practices of the required mechatronics control techniques, semiconductor devices, process technologies and component and material technologies to acquire the know-hows, creativity and highly valued production capacities. To educate such qualified professionals, the curriculum is broken down to the beginner and advanced levels to balance the theoretical and practical contents. The faculty with rich field experience operates a diversified academic and industrial cooperation system to provide field trip and training opportunities on theories and field skills during enrollment.
Departmental Vision
- The Department of Semiconductor Equipment Engineering educates the engineers with theoretical and practical skills to be in charge of daily operation and maintenance of necessary processes and equipment to manufacture semiconductors, displays, and solar light based on mechatronics semiconductor knowledge. Furthermore, the Department produces capable experts in designing and manufacturing related equipment and components.
