Samsung Electronics plans to set up a cell phone technology department in Seoul-based Sungkyunkwan University next year. Sungkyunkwan University yesterday said its president Seo Jung-don will meet Samsung President Lee Ki-tae this Friday to sign an agreement on the new department. The department will be Korea’s first to offer a major on cell phone technology in the country’s history. The department will enroll a total of 52 top students, 12 for doctorate degrees and 40 for bachelor’s degrees beginning next year. |  |
The envisioned department will include five courses in emerging fields such as cell phone interfacing, embedded software, mobile platforms and WiBro.
This is not the first time that Samsung Electronics has masterminded the opening of an industry-friendly department as the firm established a semiconductor-associated course in Sungkyunkwan in 1996.
