Chosen for the Ministry of Education's state-funded project (2021 DNA Fusion Short-Term Education Program Development)

- Recipient of the Ministry of Education and KERIS' co-sponsored DNA Integration Short-Term Educational Course Development Project

 

Our university has been awarded participation in the '2021 DNA (Data-Network-AI) Fusion Short-Term Education Program Development Project,' spearheaded by the Korea Education & Research Information Service (KERIS) under the aegis of the Ministry of Education. This joint endeavor by the Ministry of Education and KERIS aims to establish the foundation for tailored DNA (Data-Network-AI) talent development for marginalized segments of society through the implementation of advanced fusion education programs at remote universities.

This project specifically involves the development of two education programs in the D (Data) fusion and N (Network) fusion fields, along with eight educational contents. It aims to create new educational content and courses while integrating with the AI fusion education program (consisting of 27 educational contents) developed in 2020. These efforts are aimed at restructuring and operating tailored short-term education programs for marginalized groups, small business owners, and professionals in the AI field.

Our university, in collaboration with Korea Cyber University, Busan Digital University, and Yeungjin Cyber University, is forming a cyber university consortium to develop a tailored 'Big Data Capacity Enhancement Education Program for Digital Marginalized Groups' in the data fusion domain. This initiative aims to provide educational opportunities to marginalized groups who face difficulties in accessing technical education due to time and financial constraints. It is expected to contribute to the development of aspiring technicians with expertise and a future vision in relevant professional fields by lowering the entry barriers to specialized education in big data.

Under the leadership of professors Lee Seong-tae, Roh Geon-tae, and Chun Ji-young, esteemed faculty members of our College of Engineering, the conceptualization and production of educational content titled 'Big Data Analysis Without Code' will take place.

President Kang remarked, 'Seoul Cyber University will leverage its expertise as a leading cyber university in this government-supported project,' emphasizing, 'We will support the cultivation of talents to lead future society and the fourth industrial revolution through the development of integrated education programs suited for the untact era.

On the other hand, our university is the first cyber university in South Korea to achieve the highest grade, A grade, in all three official evaluations conducted by the Ministry of Education for distance learning universities. Seoul Cyber University is recognized as a top-tier cyber university with an optimized online education system for the untact era. In 2021, it was selected for the Ministry of Education's inaugural funding program for distance learning universities, enabling it to contribute to the expansion of quality distance education.
