[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yeo Jong-gu] The Department of Semiconductor and Electronic Engineering at Daegu Catholic University has been selected for the "2022 Regional Industry-Linked University Specialized Department Innovation Support Project" hosted by Gyeongbuk Province.
Following this selection, the Department of Semiconductor and Electronic Engineering will receive 2.6 billion KRW in project funding from Gyeongbuk Province and Gyeongsan City by 2026 to cultivate semiconductor talents leading the Fourth Industrial Revolution era.
Additionally, Gumi City, which signed a talent development agreement for the semiconductor industry with Daegu Catholic University, will also provide partial project funding support.
Daegu Catholic University plans to reorganize the existing Electronic Engineering major into the Department of Semiconductor and Electronic Engineering starting from the 2023 academic year, aiming to nurture experts in semiconductor design and manufacturing processes tailored to regional industries, as well as experts in semiconductor equipment control and operation. The curriculum will be operated in five stages: ▲Basic Major Courses ▲Basic Practical Skills ▲Advanced Major Courses ▲Advanced Practical Skills ▲Field Application.
