The School of Architecture team, receives first prize in the ‘NYTC New York Theater City’ international architecture contest Competing with about 300 university teams of the world including England and Spain, demonstrated the potential of 5 year School of Architecture [August 9, 2011] The School of Architecture team of Yeungnam University was recognized for its ability internationally by placing the honorary 1st place at the ‘NYTC New York Theater City’ which was held targeting the students of Architecture throughout the world in Spain. ‘NYTC New York Theater City’ is the project name of the international architecture contest sponsored by Archmedium of Spain during the first half of this year and the students were given a mission to form a space where fresh and diverse performance can freely sprout at the Broadway of Manhattan which is the heart of world's performance culture industry. It was from the object of returning the Broadway as a city of culture where art and freedom are alive by reviving the experimental challenge of spirit from the 1980's after it has degenerated into a commercial business zone as the place became dominated by large scale performance culture where huge capital is invested. A total of 302 works have been released from all over the world in the contest held from January 15th to May 31st. The jury of five world famous architects have selected award winners based on publicness, harmony with surrounding environment, innovation with critical spirit of challenge, communication ability and novelty. As a result, the work of ‘PH4 Studio’ team (see photo) organized by Park, Jung-Ha/Park, Jun-Young/Kwon, Su-Hwan in fifth grade, Park, Chang-Beom in fourth grade and Han, Chang-Seok in third grade of Yeungnam University's School of Architecture called “What kind of performance do you want?" had received 'first prize' which is the first place. They also got hold of 2,500 euros in prize money (about 4 million won). The work was designed to naturally lead the footsteps of walking along the High Line Park to the performance hall as the place was made to open up a diversity of experimental performances by having the outer line of roof at the ring shaped building to give strong impression like colosseum of Rome meet at the edge of the High Line Park which is a new noted feature of New York and placing a small sized theater at the basement of gigantic round plaza formed at the inner building. High Line Park is a tourist attraction of New York that has revived the abandoned elevated railroad and was one of the surrounding environmental structures that must be considered in this mission. The jury has pointed out the fact that the work of these students has made the refined beauty of a city called New York stand out with a simple but impressive design, the fact that dead spaces between elevated railroad supports were illustrated to be recycled as a space of creative culture and the fact that urban integration was clearly shown with persuasive ability through round design, etc especially stand out. The second place went to the University of Westminster of England and third place went to the ETSAB team of Spain. Concerning this outstanding achievement, the team leader Park, Jong-Ha (25, fifth grade of Architecture) has expressed his aspirations by saying “I'm very delighted to have our ability recognized in the contest sponsored by Spain which is the home of architecture that has produced Gaudi” and “I want to contribute in telling people about the Korean beauty of architecture to the world by becoming an architect who has received international certificate in the future". The youngest team member Han, Chang-Seok (24) also expressed his determination by saying “It was a great fortune to work with talented mentors who had received several awards in international contests” and “I'll make effort to have more great results by sharing what I learned from mentors this time with my classmates or younger students” Meanwhile, Yeungnam University's School of Architecture has reorganized as five year School of Architecture since 2002 to be operating international architect certification training approved by WTO system while proving its potentials through many domestic and foreign contests. The First Prize Winning Work of 'PH4 Studio' Team

Thesis citation score similar to Yale University, higher than Stanford University QS assessment within rank 150 in the world, contending for 1st place in Korea with Seoul National University Professor Park, Ju-Hyun of Electronic Engineering who is 'expert of thesis', published about 290 theses including 170 SCI theses for the last 10 years [July 19, 2011] Recently, Yeungnam University (president Lee, Hyo-Soo) has put up its name on the world's top 150 in the field of mathematics in the '2011 Academic Ranking of World Universities' announced by 'QS(Quacquarelli Symonds)'. The only domestic universities that have placed within rank 150 in the world are Yeungnam University and Seoul National University. KAIST was within rank 151~200. There is an assessment that such remarkable performance of Yeungnam University is due to the research performance of Professor Park, Ju-Hyun (44, Electronic Engineering, see photo). Since 2000, Professor Park had as many as 170 SCI theses (Science Citation Index) that people say it is difficult to write even 1 thesis per year. If we add up the domestic journals and the theses presented to domestic/foreign symposiums, the number reaches up to 290 theses. It was like writing 26 theses per year including 16 SCI theses. The domestic press media have also focused their attention to such remarkable research ability of Professor Park. <Chosun Ilbo> had put up an article of interviewing Professor Park at the top of paper with a title of "One 'Monster Professor' Upgrades the Mathematics of Yeungnam University to Yale University Standard" on the 'Social Issues' section (page 14) dated July 18th. Subsequently, the paper has put up a criticism called "We See the Hope of Korean Academic World from Him" with a title called 'Scholar and Thesis' also on the [Manmullsang](page 38) dated July 19th. According to the article, Yeungnam University has received a high score of 83.5 points in the 'citations per thesis' which is one of QS evaluation indices. This is similar to the worldly famous Yale University (85.5 points) and higher than Stanford University (74.2 points). Having many number of citations means that so many excellent theses have been written. The press was more interested in the secret of producing such outstanding performance by Professor Park. The article indirectly shows the secret of Professor Park through the evaluation of professors who work with him saying "he has great ability to concentrate", "he has extraordinary brain" or "he researches like a monster". The strict rule of Professor Park famous for researching by coming to school early next morning even after drinking heavily is not delaying the research work. People say he starts his day by reading the theses of scholars throughout the world uploaded on the internet overnight by coming to the lab 8 in the morning everyday even during the vacation. Professor Park was assigned to Yeungnam University for the first time in 2000 at the age of 33. His main area of research is control engineering. Among this field his area is not the applied field such as robots, but the Nonlinear Dynamics which is the field of basic theory. It is so called 'basic study' of finding patterns in complicated nature. Another secret is finding a different subject every 2~3 once he feels that he achieved certain level of performance in one subject. The reason why the theses wrote by Professor Park was widely cited and became famous was because he constantly developed the areas that no one else had dealt with. Professor Park has presented a total of about 290 theses including about 170 SCI theses since 2000. It was like presenting 26 theses per year. Because of this, Yeungnam University has recently put up its name in the world's top 150 in the field of mathematics in 'QS Academic Ranking of World Universities'. In 2008, he was appointed as the first Korean lifetime assistant chief editor of an SCI level international journal called 'Applied Mathematics and Computation'. Being in charge of as a chief editor deciding whether to publish theses is considered as greatest honor for scholars. 'Applied Mathematics and Computation' is an SCI level journal which totally includes the field of applied science (mathematics, engineering, physics and biology, etc) that can be interpreted based on applied mathematics while the editing team organization almost never changed after being founded in 1975 and famous for strict management of standards. And professor Park was appointed as lifetime assistant editor. The Elsevier Company of the United States publishing this journal has officially approved the research performance of Professor Park by expressing the fact that the reason for appointing Professor Park is because not only he has spread a vigorous writing activity in the field of Nonlinear Dynamics for the last 10 years, but also devotedly performed the role as a reviewer on the theses applied to be printed on the journal. In addition, Professor Park is in charge of thesis evaluation on about 50 SCI level journals such as participating as editorial staff of SCI level journal called 'Journal of The Franklin Institute' which is one of journals with longest history after being founded by Benjamin Franklin in 1826. Even in Korea, he is participating as editorial staff of 'control robot system society' and founding member/assistant chief editor of journal at 'IEMEK', etc. On such research performance of Professor Park, even other professors say that "he accomplished a very difficult thing". That is because the situation is that there is relatively great shortage of graduate school students in the universities of non metropolitan area compared to the leading university of Seoul with plenty of researchers from having many graduate school students. However, Professor Park said "The research of a scholar is same whether it might be in Seoul or in Daegu. The research is something which is done your own" and became humble by saying " It seems that I was somewhat neglecting the research from having a lot of foreign activities these days and I'm trying to catch a new subject of thesis by settling myself once again".

Participation of 41 teams, Successfully completes the 16th Baja Sae Korea on August 9th [July 9, 2011] The 'Baja Sae Korea' which Yeungnam University has opened up for the first time in 1996 with the purpose of raising creativity and spirit of challenge by engineers to apply the theory on the field was held for the 16th time this year. The festival of automotive engineering students which became a de facto international tournament by obtaining a certificate of United States SAE (Society of Automotive Engineering) in 2001 was started on July 6th and dropped the curtain of heated contest with the endurance race on the 9th. This contest where 41 teams participated has performed entrance of car shed on 6th, static inspection on 7th along with opening ceremony, Gyeongsan downtown car parade and dynamic inspection on 8th. Especially the ‘Rock Crawling’ attempted for 5th time this year had produced various things to see. While an elliptical shaped rock obstacle of 5m in width and 1.5m in height with course length of 10~15m is installed and the team that has passed through this within shortest period of time gets the highest score in order to test the transmission speed of engine power, there was an accident of all participants failing last year. This year, only 1 team has passed so that there is a criticism of 'difficult course' where safe passage itself is the key. On the 9th which was the last day, the ‘endurance race' which is the highlight of this tournament was held at the back hill of Yeungnam University filtration plant. In the middle of pouring rain started from early in the morning, the tournament continued as scheduled even in bad weather of pouring heavy rain accompanied by thunder and lightening. As soon as the start flag of tournament chairman was raised at 10:50 AM, the muddy water started splashing from all over as the self made cars lined up to wait their turns started running by gushing out their loud engine sounds. The 35 cars were started in order to spread the race of 180 minutes with Cheoma DM (Car No. 9) that had placed first in the 'acceleration' category of Dynamic Test performed on the previous day at the front. The endurance race is a category in which the victory is determined depending on who turns most number of 4km off-road track within given time. The drivers of self made cars are having quite a bit of difficulty in securing their field of vision from the goggles mixed up with muddy water and sweat. Also, the suspension system of car and driving skill are more important than simple speed because the surface of unpaved track is slippery, has a lot of steep turns and is a mountain trail with severe unevenness. Needless to say that the car must have good power of engine in order to finish three hour's race by crossing 5 layered obstacles with steep slope here and there. If there are small and large accidents such as engine stopping, deviating from the track or slipping from the hill in the middle of race, the referees stop the race for a moment by waving a red flag and the volunteers must run in immediately to push the car off the track for the race to resume. Although the cars that broke down resume the race after getting repaired from the pit, they naturally get behind in the race because they lost that much time. Therefore, the driver and all team members rush in to fix the car in order to reduce the time remained in the pit. So it is the moment when teamwork and promptness are also very important. At 1:50 PM of this day, the heated contest for three days has dropped the curtain with the flag to finish the endurance race. The closing ceremony was held at the main stadium of Yeungnam University from 5 PM. As a result of adding up the scores from all categories including static inspection, dynamic inspection and endurance race, the honor of overall victory given to the team with highest score went to the No. 29 MIRACLE-Blue team of Hanbat University. To the winning team, the Minister of Knowledge Economy award, championship flag, trophy and prize of 3 million won were given. In addition, the No. 6 T.E.M11 team of Ulsan University that has placed second received the Governor of Gyeongsangbuk-do award and prize of 2 million won and No.30 MIRACLE-Red team of Hanbat University that has placed third received President of Yeungnam University award and prize of 1 million won. The result of tournament will be announced throughout the world through official homepage of SAE (www.sae.org) and publications.

All lectures and experiments are performed in English. The score evaluation through mid-term exam and final exam is also entirely according to the evaluation standard of UC Davis. In a word, the entire chemical materials engineering lecture hall of UC Davis is moved to Yeungnam University for one month. The career of professor who are in charge of lectures and experiment guidance is also worthy of attention. Professor Kim, Sang Tae (46) who will be handed down with the baton of Professor Shackelford is working as a professor of UC Davis since 2004 after receiving Ph. D from the Univ. of Houston and going through post-doc at Max Planck Institute of Germany, he is especially considered as one of great scholars in the field of nano material and fuel cells that are getting attention as next generation materials. He introduced by saying “there is great demand of students in other major trying to learn material science through vacations because this is the field that all engineering students must study. So the summer abroad system of UC Davis providing high quality education and oversea culture experience opportunity at the same time is a very popular program” and expressed his expectations by saying “I\'m very delighted to carry out this program with Yeungnam University which is getting attention in the research in the field of green energy and advanced technology materials. Through this opportunity, I hope the exchange between two universities would spread to the entire university as well as engineering\". Professors Lee, Jae-Hyung, Kwon, Hae-Wook, Lee, Jae-Yeol and Ko, Young-Gun in charge of experiment guidance one week at a time are also people with great ability who have received the latest degree or post-doc at Ohio State Univ., Case Western Reserve Univ., Univ. of Texas, Austin or MIT. <A class=imageUtil id=thumb_09161086457112925 onclick=\"return hs.run(this)\" href=\"http://www.yu.ac.kr/_yboard/cheditor/show_image.php?im=yunoti_eng_176_2012-01-17_15-36-06_1707.jpg\" target=_blank> Professors in charge of lectures and experiment guidance at UC Davis Summer Abroad 2011 (From left-Professors Lee, Jae-Hyung, Kim, Suk-Young, Han, Young-Hwan, Shackelford, Kim, Sang-Tae, Lee, Jae-Yeol) Field trips are also a part of program. while the students learn practical knowledge from practical workers by visiting the fields related to the major such as POSCO Power, POSCO, Hyudai Heavy Industries, Hyundai Motors, Millinet Solar, LG Electronics Solar Division (Kumi) and Daegutec, they will also have time to experience the history, tradition and culture of Korea by visiting, DMZ, Seoul, Jeonju, Andong and Gyeongju, etc. The determination and expectations of participating students are also extraordinary.

<BODY style=\"FONT-SIZE: 9pt; MARGIN: 5px; FONT-FAMILY: gulim; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #fff\"> UN affiliated OPCW Inspector Kim, Seup alumnus (Department of Chemistry, 81), special lecture at his alma mater [June 29, 2011] “While Korea is about rank 10 in the share of expenses by UN members in 2010∼2011, the number of Korean people who have advanced to world\'s international organizations such as UN with tens of thousands of people is merely about 300. This is ridiculously little number compared to our country\'s contribution to UN. So I stand here today. I ask all of you to raise the status of Korean people by making advancement to international organizations such as UN.” <A class=imageUtil id=thumb_07621608839138025 onclick=\"return hs.run(this)\" href=\"http://www.yu.ac.kr/_yboard/cheditor/show_image.php?im=yunoti_eng_175_2012-01-17_14-50-19_1702.jpg\" target=_blank> At 10 AM of the 29th, At the Legal Building Room. 525 of Yeungnam University, a special lecture inviting Inspector Kim, Seup (50) of UN affiliated ‘Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons’(OPCW) (50) (see photo) started. Despite the sign of heat wave recording 27℃from the morning, about 80 students dreaming of getting into UN affiliated organizations or international organizations have filled the lecture hall. Inspector Kim invited as speaker is Class of 81 who entered Chemistry Department of Yeungnam University and Class 23 of ROTC. He is standing in front of his younger alumni as he lives a new life of an international public official at Hague, Netherlands where OPCW is located since 2005 after wrapping up the life of a military officer for about 20 years. His main duties are to perform inspection and investigation activities related to chemical weapons by going around about 180 OPCW member countries. He says the days spent abroad are as many as 200 per year from performing important duties as an inspection team manager. The reason why he went through the trouble of visiting Yeungnam University in his busy schedule was because there was something he really wanted to say to the younger students. He wanted to let them know that opportunities come for sure if you draw a bigger picture toward a greater world by escaping from the \'frog in a small pond\' mentality. “You never know what kind of international organization will appear all the sudden within international state of affairs getting changed each day. The OPCW which I\'m working for is also the one created all the sudden as a result of Strategic Arms Reduction Talks between United States and Soviet Union in 1997. So the new employment reaching up to about 500 people took place at the time and the many people who were working in the field of chemistry caught the opportunity of getting into an international organization. So you should also prepare for this. The opportunity will surely come someday even if it might be right now.” The method of getting into an international organization he had presented was more simple than expected. In case of UN for instance, they give employment announcement for 2 months through internet homepage and all you have to do is submit an application through e-mail by selecting the area of work which is appropriate for your major. However, it is necessary to well package your experience and motive for applying according to the qualifications required by each organization. In fact, you can become an employee of international organization if you pass the first interview over e-mail or phone and the final interview on the spot after submitting the documents. He emphasized that it is worth the challenge by saying \"just being selected as a interview candidate is a great fortune because most international organizations pay for the flight and lodging as well as the daily wage for the interview period during the interview on the spot\". The employment of international organizations is limited to the citizens of member states. But it is same as having no entrance barrier since our country has joined most international organizations. Also, you can always catch the opportunity when it comes if you manage your social experience well under a long-term plan because most international organizations require social experience after graduating university. However, he emphasizes that you must keep practicing foreign language skills at all times. “English is a must. All you have to do is keep studying the English you have been learning to prepare for employment at the university without stopping after getting a job. And to acquire a little more advantage, it would be nice to learn one of French, Spanish, Russian, Chinese or Arabic.” He said it is still disappointing that there isn\'t much interest in the provincial areas yet although the interest is getting greater among the university students of metropolitan area such as the international organization employment study getting active due to the fact that UN Secretary General Ban, Ki-Mun has set a record of succeeding in becoming a first Asian to serve consecutive terms in 45 years. He wrapped up the special lecture of this day by saying \"International organization do not have unreasonable discrimination against people from provincial universities and also do not have discrimination on race or nationality. The opportunity is open as much as you are prepared. Prepare little by little starting now. And the competition is naturally always fierce as the opportunity gets better. Make the challenge until you succeed without being afraid of failure. Although I also a bitter cup of coffee in 2003, I could make the opportunity that came as mine as a result of keep preparing without giving up\" and \"Make the challenge by looking at the farther, wider and greater world. I\'ll be looking forward to meeting one of you in the international stage after ten years\".
