<BODY style=\"FONT-SIZE: 9pt; MARGIN: 5px; FONT-FAMILY: gulim; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #fff\"> Exhibited Potential of Commercializing Solar Powered Vehicles [Nov 27, 2009] Yeungnam University students win the grand prize and runner-up prize at the Solar Car Competition. <A class=imageUtil id=thumb_040063987428842334 onclick=\"return hs.run(this)\" href=\"http://www.yu.ac.kr/_yboard/cheditor/show_image.php?im=2010-03-02_09-54-55_495.jpg\" target=_blank> The winners were the \'Mercury\' team (leader Ha, Jung-Woo, School of Mechanical Engineering senior, back row far right) composed of six seniors from the School of Mechanical Engineering and School of Electronic Engineering, Communication Engineering and Computer Science and the \'Fellow\' team (leader Kim, Tae-Gon, far left) composed of five juniors in the School of Mechanical Engineering. The \'Mercury\' team, which produced a solar car as part of the creative engineering project since August of last year won the grand prize (Seoul Metropolitan City Mayor Award) and the \'Fellow\' team, which began its creative engineering project since this August won the runner-up prize (Korea Engineering Education Research Center Award). The \'Solar Car Competition\' is where university students compete in track driving and design areas for model solar energy cars that they make. With alternative energy development being an urgent task due to the high oil prices and global warming, it is very meaningful in the fact that the future of environment-friendly automobile industry could be seen. The \'Solar Car Competition\' is in its third year since being the first to be held in Korea by Yeungnam University in 2007. Being co-hosted by the Seoul Metropolitan City (mayor Oh, Se-Hoon) and the Accreditation Board for Engineering Education of Korea (director Suh, Nam-Pyo), it was held on the 14th at the outdoor exhibit of the Peace Park in Sangam World Cup Stadium. 37 teams from 16 universities throughout the nation that passed the preliminary stage competed in this event and they were evaluated for driving area and design area from 10am to 3pm. The driving section which was given 80% of weight on evaluation was determined by a speed race on a straight track that was 3 to 5 meters wide and 25 meters long. Though it is a straight track, there is an approximately 8 degree uphill and downhill at the 5-10m and 15-20m interval. Therefore, the most important part to the driving sector is how efficiently the solar energy gathered by the 400㎠ solar cell that emits 10w of sudden power is activated. In addition, the steering system that takes into account wind direction is also important. \'Mercury\' team was able to receive the grand prize for their outstanding capacities in both of these key technologies. They were the only team to mount circuits that they designed and produced theirselves in order to maximize the efficiency of power conversion. They used bluetooth in the remote steering device making it possible to steer it using much less power compared to the RF method, and therefore, relatively more solar energy was converted to the engine power. It used balsa wood for the chassis, which is usually used for planes and yachts to minimize its weight, and a triangular frame was adopted for safety. In result, it was possible to have a max speed of 4m per second. The remote steering device of Mercury team was in the spotlight for not only its performance, but also its design. An embedded steering device was developed by placing a flexible sensor sewed onto the index finger of the glove in order to adjust the acceleration by moving the index finger and gravity sensors on the wrists. In result, Mercury team received high scores in the design sector which evaluated its economic feasibility, safety, creativity and poster presentation. Ha, Jung-Woo (25, Senior in Major of Mechanical System), the leader of the Mercury team, stated \"Preparing for the Solar Car Competition was an opportunity to acquire in-depth studies on from the principles of solar cells, to its conversion to driving energy and transmission procedures.\" He added, \"Because of the growing interest of alternative energies, I hope to contribute in the commercialization of solar power cars in the future based on the experiences I gained in this competition.\"

Currently, the only Korean universities that agreed to have exchange with IIT are Yeungnam University, KAIST and Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology. On the morning of the 16th, Yeungnam University and IIT agreed on an MOU for exchange of professors and students in the engineering field, as well as for joint researches. Thus, starting from the upcoming semester, two students in their doctorates degree program at IIT are scheduled to come to study at Yeungnam University and the two universities have agreed to focus on fostering elites in the engineering field. President Lee, Hyo-Soo stated, \"With the Korean-Indian CEPA (Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement) going into effect from January 1 of next year, exchanges in not only the economy, but also culture and people will also increase.\" He added, \"We hope that this agreement will be able to foster human resources who can act as a bridge between the two nations through expanded educational cooperation.\" IIT, which was founded in 1959, is known as the \'MIT of India\' and has spearheaded the science-technology development of India. IIT, which is where the many brilliant men are gathered, acts as a \'talents training school\' for the Indian and the global economy. Graduates from this school includes Narayana Murthy, chairman of the IT company \'Infosys\', Vhinod Khosla, founder of Sun Microsystems, Arun Sarin, CEO of Vodafone in England, and Rajat Gupta, executive director of McKinsey. In result, 15% of the founders of companies in Silicon Valley, USA are IIT alumni and the cream of the crop of the global business world is filled with people from IIT. Accordingly, the competition to get into IIT is almost like \'war\'. The competition for admission to IIT is on average 100:1 and people in India prepare 3 to 4 years to get admitted. For 10 years since its opening, it conducted the \'Kanpur Indo-American Programme\' receiving the support of 9 US universities (M.I.T., UC Berkeley, Cal Tech, Princeton, Carnegie-Mellon University, University of Michigan, Ohio State, Case Institute of Technology and Purdue). After establishing the first department of computer engineering of India in 1963, in 1995 it was ranked the third in the world by the British The Times in the \'World University Ranking of Engineering Schools\' following MIT and UC Berkeley, upgrading its position as one of the most prestigious universities. This partnership between the two universities is owed to Professor Ashutosh Sharman (left) who will be teaching students at the Yeungnam University School of Mechanical Engineering for five years from September. Despite his young age at 48, he is the only chair-professor at IIT and is a member of the Indian National Science Academy. Furthermore, in the past five years he has published over 70 theses in SCI level journals and his 10 most renown theses have been cited over 1,000 times, thus proving his global research capacities. In particular, his paper published in \'Science\' 2007 contributed greatly in the development of micro and nano technologies, and he is the world\'s top 5 nano-patterning scholar in the Scholar Subject Search of Google. Accordingly, Yeungnam University expects to be able to lead fusion researches for diverse fields such as mechanics, electronics, physics, chemistry, bio-engineering and bio-chemicals at the cutting-edge NT sectors, and in particular the nano-patterning field through its partnership with IIT. Through this, it is expected that it will have considerable ripple effects for academic research and for the industry.
