Educational Environments
Excellent Curricula and Educational
Environments
School of Electrical Engineering (EE) covers
semiconductor, communication, computer system, robot, and
other electronic application systems which are the core IT
technologies.
School of Computer Science (CS) research and education
are actively conducted in the areas of AI, Computer vision,
computer networks, distributed and parallel systems, and
embedded systems which are vital elements of Korean
economy.

Educational Environments
ABEEK (Accreditation Board for Engineering Education
of Korea) Program

- Schools of EECS have introduced the ABEEK

program from year 2005 to satisfy the new
standard in the international engineering education.

- ABEEK has strict requirements and evaluation

processes in the educational program.

Laboratory Environments of EE
Highly advanced educational laboratories are
established at the School of EE through
various assistance program funded by the
government. Students can perform their
experiments anytime using state-of-the-art
equipments at the laboratories including the
Multimedia Laboratory and the MDS
Laboratory.

Laboratory Environments of CS
Programming-exercise Laboratories and
Team-project Laboratories are established
and equipped with best programming tools.
Furthermore, the environments are still being
improved with the aid of several government
projects such as the NEXT (Nurturing
EXcellent engineers in information
Technology) and the Assistance Program for
IT Curriculum Exchange.

Professional Government and Industry

Education Facilities

Several professional design and education

facilities are funded by the government and
industry; they provide expert-level education. It
approves the colleges fame as a leading
engineering institute.

Computer Engineering Embedded Systems

Laboratory

Embedded Systems Laboratory equipped with

PXA255-Pro3, Tynux embedded system
development board and PCs are open with
the aid of Basic Research Projects of the
Ministry of Science and Technology

Seminar in Special Topics

This is a small group seminar unique to
Kookmin University. Through close
communication among a professor and
students, motivation and curiosity for science
are elevated. It cultivates practical experience
in the following areas.
Presentation skill
Teamwork and leadership
Specialized engineering skill

Faculties are performing world-class

research

research fund during Jan.2003-June 2006 reached

9 million USD. These research projects have
provided lots of benefits for students -- chances of
professional experience, scholarship, employment
and advanced education

BK (Brain Korea 21) Project

BK 21 is a project from the Ministry of Education
to improve the graduate school system. Two
teams from the college are joining the project
now. It brings great help in research and many
graduate students of the college are recipients.

Samsung Electro-Mechanics Power

Electronics Research Center

Samsung Electro-Mechanics founded

research center at the college to collaborate
with the researchers of the college of EECS in
the area of display circuit and electric vehicle.
Samsung uses this research center as an
advanced base for the development of new
products. Research facilities and scholarship
are provided by Samsung.

RF Shower Development: Leading Basic

Research Sponsored by the MIC

The Ministry of Information and

Communication considered the RF Shower
System as one of the key IT technologies and
designated the College of EECS to lead the
project; it is to expand the recognition
distance of RFID. About 7 million US dollars
are funded for this project.

Field Practice Certified by Ministry of

Commerce, Industry and Energy

Junior or senior students can take the field

practice during summer vacation at several
companies that our college has set up
agreements with. Students can experience
field technologies and development processes
while earning credits at the same time.

Partners of the College of EECS

Korean Government (Ministry of Science and

Technology, Ministry of Education, Ministry of
Information and Communication), City of
Seoul, ETRI, KETI, SK Telecom, KT, Samsung
Electronics, Samsung SDI, Samsung ElectroMechanics and many other renowned
enterprises collaborate with our college in
opening the era of IT Korea.

NEXT projects from the MIC in three tracks

NEXT (Nurturing EXcellent engineers in information

Technology) is a project executed by the Ministry of
Information and Communication (MIC) to increase
the educational competence in IT area. Three teams
from the college are selected to participate in the
project. This program has been a great contribution
to the curricula and experimental environments.
