Korea Aerospace University (KAU) discussed future plans for the university after the 2024 school year at the Workshop for KAU’s Innovation Strategy
(Subtitle:“Transitional Time for University Education, Future Innovation for KAU”). The workshop was held at Grand Hyatt Incheon for two nights from
January 24 to 25 with 30 major faculty members consisting of the president, deans of the colleges, the head of the administration, department chairs,
and the team managers in the office. The workshop examined KAU’s own innovation solution to address the change in educational policies
by the Ministry of Education and the crisis of decrease in school-age population.
It was successfully held by reaching consensus of entire faculty regarding the university’s innovation solution that focuses on improving admission
unit and school curriculum.
The workshop first went through the Ministry of Education’s reform on the University Innovation Support Plan, followed by collecting opinions to
reach consensus from each department in undergraduate program on the reform plan of academic structure established by the university administration
office. The most optimal agreement was able to be achieved thanks to all attending faculty members’ focus on the advancement of the
university over the interest of individual department.
KAU is slated to proceed with the reform plan established at the workshop and take further steps to realize it throughout 2024 by gathering opinions
of school members, modifying the admission guides, reforming education curriculum, and mandating having multiple majors.
