Overview - Architectural Eng.
Vision
“Training hyper-connected talents who will lead innovative growth in the future”
Department of Architectural Engineering is constructing flexible and sustainable education/research/industry cooperation infrastructure with the vision of "training hyper-connected talents that will lead future innovation growth" through hyper-connected convergence education with advanced technologies of the 4th industrial revolution in the field of architectural engineering.
Educational Goals
“Training First-Mover who leads the world through hyperconnected convergence education”
Department of Architectural Engineering is setting and implementing the following educational goals and detailed plans.
● Consumer-centered education system
We are linking projects related to architectural engineering and real issues with undergraduate education and research while reorganizing the curriculum completion system specialized in each major and student's career and interest.
● Practical / Convergence Education System
Through Industry-Coupled Problem-Based Learning+ (IC-PBL+), we are proposing a creative convergence talent development education model that (1) solves practical problems reflecting the needs of industries, communities, and schools, (2) fosters professional and advanced collaborative researchers that create industry-academic results, and (3) develops undergraduates into HYPER-Leaders, a high-end workforce, by playing a role as a self-directed researcher that creates new knowledge.
Student-Centered Educational System
We are restructuring our curriculum to provide specialized course tracks tailored to each student’s academic interests, career aspirations, and individual goals. At the same time, we integrate real-world architectural engineering projects into our educational and research framework, thereby creating a seamless link between undergraduate and graduate studies.
Practical & Interdisciplinary Education System
Through our IC-PBL+ (Industry-Coupled Problem-Based Learning+) model, we present an innovative framework for cultivating creative, interdisciplinary talent. This model strengthens collaboration among industry, local communities, and the university to address practical, real-world challenges. Our goal is to nurture students into HYPER-Leaders: highly skilled professionals who serve as advanced Co-worker, generating tangible outcomes through industry-linked projects, and as self-directed Scholars, producing new knowledge grounded in academic research.
Research Goals
"Solving social problems using interdisciplinary boundary technology
and achieving world-class research competitiveness”
Department of Architectural Engineering intends to present social problem solution technology using various interdisciplinary boundary technologies and achieve global research competitiveness through the practical technology development process. Based on the research support system optimized for Hanyang University's practical academic style and the high research power accumulated by the Department of Architectural Engineering, the detailed future research goals of Department of Architectural Engineering have been set as follows.
● Convergence technology development
Leading promising fields of future technology through social/corporate contributing research, global problem-solving research, and industry-academic convergence research, demonstrating technologies for applying testbeds, and promoting joint research design/R&D between components.
● Hyper-Convergence Research Promotion System
Constructing convergence research groups that broke through interdisciplinary barriers, fostering convergence research projects, strengthening R&D in commercialization links, improving the research environment, establishing a consumer-centered research support system, and securing self-sustainability of research institutes.
● Achieving world-class research competetiveness
Leading research themes leading the world, strengthening quantitative and qualitative research capabilities through systematic research achievement evaluation systems, revitalizing global joint research activities and securing international patents, establishing excellent talent recruitment/support systems through research institutes, and upgrading Fellowship for graduates and researchers.
Development of Convergent Technologies
We spearhead emerging fields of future technology by advancing research that benefits society and industry, addresses global challenges, and integrates industry, academia, and research. Our efforts include demonstrating technologies through testbed applications and promoting collaborative research design, R&D, and knowledge generation among stakeholders.
Hyper-Convergent Research Promotion System
We cultivate interdisciplinary research groups that dismantle academic boundaries, foster convergent research projects, and reinforce R&D closely linked to commercialization. To nurture creativity in both research and talent, we are enhancing the research environment, establishing a user-centered support system, creating platforms for technology exchange and global talent collaboration, and building strong support structures for early-career researchers.
Securing World-Class Research Capabilities
We are elevating both the scale and quality of our research by pursuing pioneering themes with global leadership potential and by implementing a systematic framework for evaluating research outcomes. Furthermore, we are invigorating international collaboration, promoting global academic engagement and patent activity, recruiting and supporting outstanding talent through our research institutes, and strengthening fellowship programs for graduate students and emerging scholars.
