Ajou's student team SWAG wins award at Capstone Design Fair

[16.10.18]


Team SWAG, consisting of Ajou University students (Department of Mechanical Engineering, guiding professor Jung Il Lee), won the Grand Prize (Minister of Science, ICT & Future Planning Prize) at the ICT Idea Contest & Capstone Design Fair in the 13th Suwon Information & Science Festival.
 
 
The festival, hosted by Suwon City and the Suwon Office of Education, was held from October 14th to the 15th at the Suwon Sports Complex. Its programs included the Drone Building Contest, the Intelligent Robot Competition, and the Information Olympiad.


Ajou's award-winning team, including Kwang Hyeon Kim, Ho Jun Lee, Yeong Chun Lim, and Shin Pyo Kim, designed a pump-operated sap injector with the support of the LINC Project Group.


Capstone Design is a comprehensive design education program in which students develop their abilities to address issues that they can face in industrial sites through planning, designing, and building works. Students from universities where Capstone Design is available participated in the competition.


During the festival, Ajou University set up a booth to promote the Software Specialized University Project along with the LINC Project Group. At the booth, officials from the University introduced elementary, middle, and high school students and adult visitors to the achievements made from cooperation with industries.
