Professor Han Man-yeop awarded Republic of Korea Technology Silver Grand Prize - For the second time this year, unique in civil engineering field The IPC (Innovative Pre-stressed Support) Earth Retention System developed in 2003 by Professor Han Man-yeop (Department of Environment, Construction and Transportation Engineering) was designated as one of the Top 10 New Technologies of the Republic of Korea in 2007, and Supportec, Ltd., which commercialized this technology, was awarded the Republic of Korea Technology Silver Grand Prize 2007. The IPS method developed by Professor Han is a temporary installation method for supporting the retaining wall to construct the subsurface structure after ground excavation in civil engineering and building structure construction projects. This method will shorten the construction period as well as reduce construction costs and materials. The IPS method was designated as New Technology (No. 433) by the Ministry of Construction and Transportation and New Technology (No. K054) by the Ministry of Science and Technology. Also, it was awarded the 28th week Jang Yeong-sil Prize in 2007. As of now, the patent has been registered in the U. S. A. and Japan. The Republic of Korea Technology Grand Prize sponsored by the Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Engineering and managed by the Korea Industrial Technology Foundation is a technology award started in 1999 and of the greatest scale in this country. Professor Han had his “PSC I-type Girder Technology by Stepwise Introduction of Tensile Force” designated as one of the Top 10 New Technologies of the Republic of Korea in 2000 as well. Only these two technologies, developed by Professor Han, have ever been designated in the civil engineering field. Ajou University

Ajou courses win ABEEK preliminary certification All the courses that submitted applications (i.e. ten courses of the College of Engineering and two courses of the College of Information Technology (Please see the following for the list.) obtained preliminary certifications from the Accreditation Board for Engineering Education of Korea (ABEEK)Ajou University Engineering Education Innovation Center Director Kim Gong-hwan said, "Korea became a full member of the Washing Accord in June 2007. Thus, conditions for the ABEEK certification have been made the more rigorous. From this year on, the eight conditions should all be satisfied for the preliminary certification. Until last year, applicants had only to meet six out of the eight conditions, i.e. educational objective for the course, learning performance and evaluation for the course, curriculum category, students, faculty, educational environment, improvement in education, certification standards for major areas. The certification of all the courses shows the sheer quality of educational courses of this school."A total of 19 universities, including Ajou, applied for the certification. Our school plans to submit a self evaluation report to the ABEEK by January 2009, the ABEEK is scheduled to pay a visit to our school in May 2009 for first-hand appraisal and the results of the main certification will be known by January 2010.ABEEK is a system of quality guarantee concerning an engineering education course. The certification means that students who have finished the relevant course are equipped with the internationally competitive working-level engineering capability. As Korea has become a member of the Washington Accord, graduates of the ABEEK-certified courses are eligible for apply for professional engineer examinations carried out in the U.S., the U.K, Australia and Canada and are treated equally with graduates of local universities at workplaces in more industrialized countries. * The ten courses of the College of Engineering: Mechanical Engineering, Industrial & Information Systems Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Material & Science Engineering, Applied Chemistry, Biotechnology, Environmental Engineering, Construction System Engineering, Transportation System Engineering and Architectural Engineering. The two courses of the College of Information Technology: i.e. Electronics Engineering and Information & Computer Engineering Ajou University
