Dongmyung University Department of Marine Mobility Conducts Corporate Field Training at National Fisheries Research and Development Institute

As Part of the RISE Initiative
Enhancing Practical Skills Through Hands-on Experience with Smart and Eco-Friendly Fisheries Technologies

On October 14, Dongmyung University conducted a corporate field training program for students from the Department of Marine Mobility at the National Fisheries Research and Development Institute as part of the Ministry of Education’s Regional Innovation-led University Support System (RISE) initiative.

Eight students participated in this field training along with their supervising professor. The program included acquiring smart and eco-friendly aquaculture technologies, learning about the latest trends in fisheries resource management technologies, and touring related research facilities.

The students enhanced their practical skills by directly experiencing how the technologies they had learned in theory are actually applied in the industry.

Student Lee Sangmin said, "I used to think the Fisheries Research Institute focused only on fish research, but I was surprised to see that it also deals with fishing vessels and fishing technologies. Learning the differences between ordinary ships and fishing vessels was very helpful for my studies in ship design, and my interest in eco-friendly technologies such as biodegradable nets has grown."

Another participant, Kim Dahye, commented, "I was impressed to witness the process of testing ship performance by generating artificial waves in the wave tank. Through research cases involving eco-friendly fishing gear made from biodegradable materials, I was able to concretely understand how marine engineering technologies contribute to environmental protection."

Professor Park Sungjoo, who led the group, said, "This was a great opportunity for students to directly experience the latest trends in smart and eco-friendly fisheries science technologies and to strengthen their practical skills by connecting theory with practice. We will do our best to nurture practical talents who will lead the future marine mobility industry through various programs linked to the industrial field."
