2015-11-17


On November 14th, Ajou University's Science Education Center for Gifted Student (SECGS. Director Young Hwa Ha) held a wrap-up presentation and graduation ceremony for a software education program for gifted students in the auditorium of Yulgok Hall. The education program lasted for one year, with the number of graduates being fifty-five.


The project was initiated last year by the Ministry of Science, ICT, and Future Planning and the National IT Industry Promotion Agency to foster software talents, and Ajou's SECGS was selected as the institute representing education centers under domestic universities, and it has provided education for the program since early this year.


SECGS's goal is to operate an education program for gifted students that combines experiences, learning, challenges, and a career setting, and it has developed and run three courses to help students learn key capabilities required for software engineers, build firsthand experiences at the industrial sites, and conduct research projects. The three courses are Industry-oriented (a process to resolve technical difficulties for businesses), Product-oriented (a process to develop new products), and Service-oriented (a process to plan services), and 20 students were selected for each of the courses.


Director Ha said, "It is essential to discover early and foster creative students who can lead the software-oriented society," adding, "Ajou will continue to develop as a leading university in producing talents who have expertise in software."
