"Professor Park Will heighten Korea's voice for international standardization, certification and presentation of policy agendas…" He participated as Korean representative for general meeting of 26 countries in photovoltaic power generation [August 7, 2012] Professor Park, Chin-ho (54, School of Chemical Engineering) was appointed as the Korean representative for the PVPS sector of IAE(International Energy Agency). The 'IEA' was established in 1974 as an energy collective security system under the OECD and its head office is within the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development headquarters in Paris, France. Only OECD member countries are allowed to join the IEA and Korea officially joined in March 2002. Its main objective at the time of its foundation was to address the issue with lower supply of oils and rising prices of oil by OPEC, but recently, it focuses on leading international cooperation for international issues such as oil distribution in times of emergency, development cooperation for alternative energy, and energy environment cooperation. As part of this, the IEA established the Photovoltaic Power Systems (PVPS) Department in 1993 within its organization recognizing the need for the photovoltaic sector in order to substitute the dwindling supply of fossil fuels, and to stop global warming and environment destruction. There are currently 26 'PVPS' members including Australia, the US, Germany, Netherlands, Japan and Korea. The representatives of each country, including Professor Park, will explain the current status of photovoltaic power generation systems of their respective countries at the PVPS general meeting, while exchanging information on technological development trends with each country. In particular, it drafts an international survey report based on each country's policy reports, while leading international standardization and certification projects of related technologies. Furthermore, it looks for international collaborative agendas and pursues joint research, while suggesting guidelines on the establishment of photovoltaic policies for each country, in its leading role for international cooperation in the solar photovoltaic sector. On this, Professor Park said, "It has only been 4 years since we have begun full-fledged investments in photovoltaic power generation. Since 2008 when we began photovoltaic power generation, we were busy trying to catch up to the more advanced countries in the sector, so we have nothing to say about our international status on this. However, it is now time for change." He added with an air of strong tenacity, "Since I am representing Korea at the IEA PVPS, which is basically the headquarters for the world's photovoltaic sector, I will do my best so that Korea's voice will be heard and acknowledged in the photovoltaic sector." Professor Park earned his PhD at the University of Florida in the US and engaged in research on semiconductors and Hyundai Electronics. He has served as a professor at the YU School of Chemical Engineering since September 1994 and is also working as the director of the Solar Cell Materials and Process R&D Workforce Cultivation Program, director of the Institute of Solar Energy, and the chief of the Regional Innovation Center for Solar Cell & Module, where he has accumulated much experience in the solar power sector. In June 2011, he was picked up by the Korea Institute of Energy Technology Evaluation and Planning and will be working as the program director for knowledge economy solar power until April 2013.

International high school students come and learn Korean at YU Klaudia Wiktoria from Poland who came for the Hallyu, Oyama Kouta from Japan in search of his roots [August 6, 2012] "I don't think the Korean wave, or Hallyu, is something short fad. Polish high school students are in love with K-pop. Interest in K-pop is resulting in interest in Korean culture, Korean history and its language. I will come back to YU next year so I can learn proper Korean." Klaudia Wiktoria is the high school senior in Poland and Oyama Kouta is the high school freshmen in high school in Tokyo International School, Japan. They came to the YU Korean Language Institute to learn Korean during their summer vacation. The Hallyu frenzy that captivated the entire world is attracting international high school students to Korea. They are taking short-term Korean language courses during the vacation. Currently, there are 112 foreigners from 20 different countries learning Korean at the YU Korean Language Institute. Two of them are high school students who are really enjoying learning Korean. They are Klaudia Wiktoria Buza-Blonska (16) from Poland and Oyama Kouta (14), a fourth generation Korean-Japanese. Klaudia is currently in her third year in high school in Warsaw and Kouta is in his first year at an Tokyo International School. Klaudia is a bashful girl with brown hair. She wanted to learn Korean during summer vacation so she looked around over ten Korean universities. She chose YU because of the prompt and satisfying response, the reasonable tuition, and the systematic education system and flew over to YU in Korea from Warsaw, Poland in early July. Poland is a cultural powerhouse famous as the 'Chopin's country'. Despite this, the Hallyu is taking over Poland. Klaudia went with her friends to the K-Pop concert held in France in June of last year. She said, "My friends who did not know anything about K-pop just a year or two ago, now have high interest in Korean pop culture and have natural conversations saying, 'I like SHINee' or 'Super Junior is my favorite'. Korean TV dramas are also popular. 'Boys Over Flowers' is especially popular." Klaudia fell in love with Korea in not even a month staying here. She said, "Last night I talked with my mom on the phone and told her that I didn't want to leave Korea," adding, "Koreans are very warm and loving people. I became interested in Korea through K-pop, but the more I learn about Korea, the more I become attracted to Korea. I want to study Korean harder in the future and major in something related to K-pop and dubbing." Another international high school student came to the YU Korean Language Institute during summer vacation to learn Korean as well. He is Oyama Kouta (14). He is the youngest student at the YU Korean Language Institute and is a fourth generation Korean-Japanese. "When I was in the first grade in elementary school, I first became aware that I was Korean and that I had a Korean name, 'Kwak, Tae-sang'. I was surprised at first, but after some time passed, my interest in Korea grew." By studying Korean whenever he could, he is currently taking classes for second-level Korean. He said that his friends gave him a mission to bring back photos and albums from Girls' Generation and KARA. He stated, "I want to enroll in a university that has sister relations with YU and come back to YU later." He also added with a smile, "I want to work in a field related to international exchange such as student exchange between Korea and Japan. For this, I need to really study more about Korea and the Korean language." Director of the Korean Language Institute, Professor Suh, Jong-hak (61, Department of Korean Language Education), explained, "The Hallyu on pop-culture such as K-pop, TV dramas and movies, is leading to interest in Korean language, the Korean people, and the Korean society." He added, "We must make more preparations and efforts to improve the education environment and quality so that they can return to their homes and spread Hallyu even more."

Baja SAE Korea at Yeungnam Univ. ends on the 4th with the participation of 45 teams from 34 universities Many attractions including the First-ever all-women's Team, 10th Grade Student Team of Daegu Science High School, and the Electric Vehicles Team [August 4, 2012] Neither heat wave nor dust could stop the Youth's Need for Speed! The 2012 Baja SAE KOREA at Yeungnam Univ., where automobiles designed and manufactured by university students race, attracted 45 teams from 34 universities. It was held amidst an air of excitement at the Yeungnam University Gyeongsan Campus from the 1st to the 4th. The Baja SAE, which was first hosted in Korea by YU in 1996 with the goal of enhancing creativity and challenge-oriented spirits of engineering students, while integrating theory into practice, was certified by the US SAE(Society of Automotive Engineering) in 2001 and is an international competition, which is proceeded with according to the regulations of SAE. Celebrating its 17th anniversary this year, over 1,000 automobile fans including judges, volunteers and teams attended the competition, staying at YU for 4 days, and competed after a year-long preparation. On the 1st, the first day of the competition, vehicles transported from different parts of the country began arriving from 2pm. On the 2nd, teams began registration and conducted static tests from 9am. Static tests include tests on the vehicle's design, safety, uniqueness, convenience to drive, ease of maintenance, and mass production, and lasted until 7pm. In the evening, meetings were held to explain the rules and re-training was conducted for volunteers. The opening ceremony started at 9am on the third at the YU playground. Following the opening ceremony, dynamic tests on the mobility, acceleration, max speed, and braking force was performed at the playground. Rock crawling, which is in its fifth year, provided an interesting thing to see. In order to test the ability to send the engine's power, a 10-15m course was used to install rockwall obstacles in an oval shape with a width of 5m and height of 1.5m. The highest score goes to the team that passes this in the shortest amount of time. This is a difficult course that is hard even just to pass. On the last day on the 4th, the highlight of this competition, the endurance race, began at about 10am on a hill at the back of YU Gyeongsan Campus. Racers have to complete the 4km off-road track as many times as they can go around in a period of 3 hours. The race is suspended immediately when an vehicle breaks down or there is a crash. Once the maintenance team takes the vehicle off the track and to the pit outside, the race is resumed. Vehicles that are repaired by the maintenance team can return to the race whenever they are ready and begin racing again in the remaining amount of time. Teams that cannot complete the course are disqualified. Therefore, endurance races is not only used for judging the performance of the vehicles that were partially tested through static test and dynamic test, but is also a good opportunity to evaluate the teams' unity and quickness to solve problems. The teams participating in this year's race complete the endurance race, despite the sweltering heat and dust, thanks to the highly improved vehicle performance and capacities. After the four day event, the closing ceremony and awards ceremony was held at the YU playground at about 5pm. The 'Ja.Yeon.In' team of the Korea University of Technology and Education won overall championship. The first place team is given the Minister of Knowledge Economy award, winner's flag, trophy, and a prize money of 2 million won. Second place was given to the 'MIRACLE-Blue' team of Hanbat National University, who were awarded the Gyeongbuk Province Governor's award and a cash prize of 1.5 million won. Third place was taken by the 'Speed Violation Team' of Keimyung University winning the YU President's award and a prize money of 1 million won. This year, 'YU CMDM Team', which was the first women's team, was applauded by many for winning the max speed test, while also receiving the 'friendship award', and thus showing their 'girl power'. The 'STEAM' team, which was made up of 10th grade students of the Daegu Science High School, won the 'prospective talent award' and they vowed to become leaders of Korea's future automobile industry. The results of the competition will be reported to the entire world through the SAE homepage (www.sae.org) and publications. Static test (above) for testing the safety of the automobile design and the originality of the design, rock crawling (middle) for testing the gradability and instant acceleration, and the endurance race (bottom) to see how many times the 4km off-road track can be completed in a period of three hours
