The College of Engineering seeks to nurture leaders and engineers talented in the areas of science and technology. In the undergraduate program, the emphasis is on training engineers who will be instrumental in introducing new technologies and in improving productivity to fulfill the needs of high-tech industries. The graduate program, on the other hand, focuses primarily on training the next generation of engineering professors and researchers in pursuit of maintaining academic excellence and making contributions to society. |
| The College of Engineering at SNU was first established on August 22, 1946 with ten departments by integrating the Department of Engineering at Gyeongseong University, Gyeongseong Industrial College and Gyeongseong Mining College. It has continued to develop over time and now stands as a world-class engineering college with six schools and four departments. The College of Engineering completed its move to the Gwanak campus in 1980 and since then has strengthened its exchange programs and collaboration with other academic disciplines. Twelve research institutes affiliated with the College of Engineering, including the Research Institute of Engineering Science, Inter-University Semiconductor Research Center, Automation and Systems Research Institute, the Institute of New Media and Communications, and the Research Institute of Advanced Materials, are actively engaged in international research activities as well as those initiated by the Korean government and private companies. | |
