<p>As Konkuk University (KU) was selected for the Software (SW)-Oriented University Support Project by the Ministry of Science and ICT (MSIT), the university will receive KRW 6.6 billion in government funding over four years. Based on performance, the government will provide a total of up to KRW 10.6 billion to KU by 2023.</p> <p><img width="300" height="200" style="margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto; display: block;" alt="" src="ArticleFile.do?id=11730027" /></p> <p style="text-align: justify;">Every year since 2015, the MSIT has selected and supported universities with excellent software-related curricula to nurture creative software talent who will lead the 4<sup>th</sup> Industrial Revolution. This year, of the 27 universities applied, five were chosen.</p> <p><img width="300" height="200" style="margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto; display: block;" alt="" src="ArticleFile.do?id=11730028" /></p> <p style="text-align: justify;">KU is planning to significantly enhance its competitiveness by offering interdisciplinary courses combining core software technology and biological sciences. Their plans include revamping of the curriculum for engineering courses, establishment of the SW OLIVE Centre which will develop and run software courses, hiring four full-time faculty and eight staff members who will handle university-industry cooperation-related issues and convert several classrooms to a high-tech classroom, a seminar room and labs, such as an open-source software lab in the New Engineer Building.</p> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <p><em><strong>Developing problem-solving skills of students</strong> </em></p> <p>The university is scheduled to initiate the “K-Lab University-Industry Cooperation Project” through which more than 20 students will participate yearly in long-term international cooperation projects to respond to the needs of the industry and provide a practical education. The K-lab is an open-lab where students will jointly carry out projects with experienced personnel from companies. KU already ran two pilot projects under the theme of “Smart Aging” with Dutch universities and is going to start projects for all KU students, irrespective of major, from 2018.</p> <p>The university is also pushing ahead with a major reform in software education by implementing skill-based education curriculum.<br /><br /><em><strong>Upgrading the basic SW training program</strong> </em></p> <p>To give training on SW to all KU undergraduate students, the university will modify the content of “Computational thinking”, a compulsory course, to offer opportunities to do customized practical exercises using the flipped learning approach and the cloud SW platform and add “Problem-solving through programming” as an elective course.</p> <p>Students will learn how to apply computational thinking to their studies and sort out problems with regard to humanities, physical education and art and natural sciences and engineering by using programming languages. Especially, KU will encourage students to do case studies of problem-solving and define simple problems by themselves using the Python programming language.</p> </div> <p><img width="301" height="201" style="margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto; display: block;" alt="" src="ArticleFile.do?id=11730029" /></p>
