This equipment introduction aims to strengthen AI practice-oriented education at the undergraduate level as a software-centered university and to lay the foundation for developing an AI-integrated education system in the future.

The DGX SPARK is a compact AI supercomputing device that delivers data center-level performance in a desktop environment. It is optimized for advanced AI research and educational practice, including large language models (LLM), generative AI, and high-performance computing (HPC).

Song Oyong, Director of the Software-Centered University Project at Sejong University, stated, "This infrastructure expansion will serve as an important foundation for fostering K-Culture professionals with integrated software and AI expertise, which Sejong University is currently pursuing. We will promote joint industry-academic-research projects that combine AI and software to nurture practical talent focused on industry needs."

Meanwhile, Sejong University was reselected for the Software-Centered University Project in 2024 and is expanding its AI micro-degree curriculum, hands-on training environment based at the Daeyang AI Center, and industry-academic joint project platform under the vision of cultivating specialized, convergent talent with software and AI capabilities linked to K-Culture.
