I thought the comprehensive screening of the student records was advantageous to me rather than the practical screening, so I got to know Kyonggi University while looking for a school that selects students based on comprehensive screening. I want to major in industrial design and I want to be a product designer. My dream is for people to want to use the product I designed and to design something that people can use comfortably. I want to customize designs for the vulnerable, such as the elderly, so that they can use the product conveniently. It is on my bucket list to sell as well as design.

I had first read about this in an article about a robot named “Pepper” communicating with people when I was in high school. I especially want to learn about intelligence information tracking.

4. What can students do after graduating with a major in AI computer engineering?

 Typically, you can be a programmer. There are many areas related to programming, such as web development, app development and security. If you want to do something related to software, I recommend you to major in AI computer engineering.
