The Department of Convergence Biosystems and Mechanical Engineering is an applied engineering field specializing in agriculture, biotechnology, and the bioindustry. Our department focuses on digital agriculture and convergence biotechnology, which can increase the added value of biological resources and contribute to an improved quality of life.
When the department was first launched, it started as the Department of Agricultural Machinery Engineering, but as the scope of study expanded and the employment fields requiring our department's graduates expanded across all industries, the name of the department was changed to the Department of Industrial Machinery Engineering starting in the 2004 academic year, and to the Department of Convergence Biosystems Machinery Engineering starting in the 2022 academic year, to ensure more thorough education.
Our department was selected as a cutting-edge department in the smart farm field in 2021, and will be the first national university to be jointly operated by two universities (Suncheon National University and Chonnam National University) starting in 2022. Upon completing the required coursework, students can obtain a joint degree from Suncheon National University and Chonnam National University.
