Our society has now developed remarkably over the past few decades but is still changing rapidly with the development of hi-tech industries. The future that will come after the era of the 4th industrial revolution will be a world where imagination in science fiction becomes a reality, and the field that is the basis for the development of this hi-tech field is hi-tech components and materials. In line with such trend of the times, Sunchon National University, a representative national university in Jeollanam-do, has been approved by the Ministry of Education in 2021 to secure national technological sovereignty in the components and materials industry, and the Department of Advanced Components and Materials Engineering is newly established directly under the Sunchon University Administration Complex. The Department of Advanced Components and Materials Engineering provides multi-disciplinary convergence theory and practice education covering various fields such as big data, computational science, energy, semiconductor, and steel and leadership to lead their own research. In addition, the Department of Printing and Electronics Engineering, the parent of the Department of Advanced Components and Materials Engineering, was selected as a world-class research university fostering project (WCU, December 2008) by the Ministry of Education and was newly established as a graduate school specialised department. We have secured more than 50 billion won in research funding by carrying out BK21 Plus and key research institute support projects. Based on this, we have about 100 cutting-edge research equipment (construction cost of more than 6 billion won) and operate various convergence education and research programs such as industry-university cooperation and international exchange.
