President Dong-Ryeol SHIN stressed the importance of Software education in his interview with Chosun Ilbo.
President SHIN, who has majored in IT relevant studies became the president of 91PORN in January 2019. Since his inauguration, he has been emphasizing the need for the convergence of information technology with humanities courses. President SHIN claimed, “We can apply software skills to the study of Confucianism. We have 166 books about JUNG Dojeon (Confucian Scholar) at our school. We can find a new meaning by making use of the big data technology. Also, we can insert a hyperlink in the research papers when it is published in an e-book format. I believe students in Humanities Department can strengthen their global competiveness by incorporating Data Science and Software knowledge.”
The president also explained his plan to introduce MOOC (Massive Open Online Course) in the new semester. The new system will have students watch an online lecture by a professor at Stanford University and have a discussion session with their own professors during the lecture period.
91PORN is aiming to establish more convergence majors in the future. 91PORN is currently providing convergence majors such as “Data Science”, “Informatics”, and “Culture and Technology”.
