Seoul National University announced that Professor Kyung Woo Yi (Education award), Professor Maeng Hyo Cho (Academic award), and Professor Young June Park (Academic-Industrial cooperation award).


The 'Excellent Engineering Professor' award was established in July 1992 as a fund for the 15th alumni of the College of Engineering in order to promote the research activities of professors at Seoul National University and contribute to the advancement of industrial technology.


The education award is awarded to professors of engineering professions who are devoted to education in creative and progressive way. Professors are awarded to professors of engineering professors who have outstanding academic achievements.


Professor Kyung Woo Yi has continued to develop courses that can accommodate changes in materials engineering. In addition, effort is put in to increase the participation of students in the lectures by applying the active learning education technique to the major subject with interest in the education method. Also, they have contributed to the development of engineering education in Korea by participating in the Engineering Education Certification Center and the Engineering Education Society. Professor Yi has been awarded the Seoul National University Education Award in 2006 and the “Han Song Yeop  Engineering Education Award”  in 2016.


Academic Award Winner Professor Maeng Hyo Cho of the Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Department has contributed to human resource development and academic development through education and academic activities in the field of solid and structural mechanics. During the past 18 years, 31 Master and 30 Ph.D students were produced in this facility. In addition, Professor Cho has carried out a national research project and has pioneered the field of multi-scale computational mechanics that combines scales from solid and structural mechanics to over 210 papers published in eminent foreign journals. As a result of these researches, he has been awarded the 'Korean Society of Mechanical Engineers' Award,' '100 Best in Science and Technology,' and 'Science and Technology Award in the Month.'


Professor Young June Park of the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department of the University of Tsukuba has worked as a director of the Semiconductor Joint Research Center and as the Director of the National Core Research Center of the Nano Application System. In particular, the 'Blue Chip' project, led by the SK Hynix Semiconductor Memory Research Director, played a crucial role in SK Hynix becoming the world's second largest semiconductor company. In addition, the 'charge pump circuit without output loss' developed by Professor Park has adopted more than 70% in NAND flash memory chips around the world. The physical electronics laboratory, which has been operating for 30 years with Professor Hong Shik Min has contributed alot to become the top in the world.


On the other hand, the award ceremony for the 'Excellent Engineering Professor' in 2017 was held at the Engineer House Auditorium on October 18th.
