Ajou University students from the Department of Architectural Engineering received the Grand Award (the Award of the Minister of Land, Infrastructure, and Transport)  in the Competition Category at the University Student Presentation Contest. The event was hosted from November 11th to the 12th by the Korea Institute of Construction Engineering and Management (KICEM) and held at Inha University.


The award-winning team consisted of leader Jae Hyeon Kim, Eui Jun Kim, Su Yeon Lee, Jin Woong Yang, and Yeon Ju Lee from the on-campus academic society FACE (Frontiers of Architectural Construction Engineers) under the Department of Architectural Engineering. The academic presentation competition had two categories, the Academic Paper Posters and the Competition. The Competition category included four sub-categories: Ideas, Cost Management, Process Management, and PBL. Ajou's students participated in the Ideas sub-category.


The University team’s presentation was on applying 'noise cancellation' technology to construction sites and its technological methodology, which aims to reduce construction-site noise by using the destructive interference effect. This method can dramatically reduce construction-related noise by producing offsetting noise with the proper volume and characteristics based on analysis.


Jae Hyeon Kim said, "Professor Hee Sung Cha encouraged us to participate in the contest when the members of our society were not sure." He went on to say, "I would like to thank the professors from the Department of Architectural Engineering for their full support," adding, "I am very happy that we have received the top award after so much hard work. It was possible because all of the team members fulfilled their missions. I am grateful for them."
