Faculty People


Selected as the university to carry out the Innovative Human Resources Development project for Smart City in 2019 (from 2019 to 2023) by Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport and Korea Agency for Infrastructure Technology Advancement (KAIA), Seoul National University plans to carry forward the training of core professionals necessary for industrial revitalization and expansion to the overseas market with the specialized education program reflecting the need of the smart city industry. In order to train the core professionals, we have newly set up the Smart City Engineering Program in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering and enhanced the linkage with the undergraduate courses by utilizing diversity of the participating professors of seven Departments (Dept. of the Civil and Environmental Engineering, Dept. of the Computer Science and Engineering, Dept. of the Architecture and Architectural Engineering, etc.). *The number of participating professors will be increased in the future.
