[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Cho Hyung-joo] The Center for Engineering Education Innovation at Chonnam National University (Director Kim Yoong-am) announced on the 28th that it conducted a 'Drone Coding Education' program from the 12th to the 13th to enhance participants' understanding of the drone industry and foster engineering capabilities.

Held as part of the National University Development Project, this education program involved students from three private universities?Dongshin University, Chosun University, and Chodang University?working together to activate networks between national and private universities and lay the foundation for mutual cooperation.

The program was designed to allow participants to understand flight principles by assembling drones and using the Scratch program, enabling even non-engineering majors to easily approach drone coding.

Additionally, teams were formed by university to input coding into drones and conduct group competitions where drones had to avoid obstacles.

The Center for Engineering Education Innovation at Chonnam National University conducted a metaverse-based coding education program from the 25th to the 27th and plans to hold robotic process automation education programs and basic & applied Python education programs in December.
