On June 16, SNU College of Engineering (Dean Kookheon Char) completed its final online presentation and demonstration of its Subject of Blockchain Technology and Application Project ('Blockchain Practical Application 1'), a course that was newly opened in the first semester of this year. The course, which was opened as a common subject at SNU's College of Engineering, involved the participation of students (undergraduate/graduate school), professors, companies and other block chain experts.
Blockchain technology can be applied to various business areas, including the financial/distributional/socio-cultural/public service sectors, as well as virtual currency, as it can be utilized in areas where data must be kept flawlessly or areas where it needs to be proven that there is no manipulation of records.
Based on the security and reliability of the block chain technology, the demand for manpower in this field is expected to continuously increase as various domestic and foreign institutions and companies expect to utilize it. Despite this, universities are not keeping up with the demand for education. Based on the understanding of this unfortunate reality, Decipher, which studies block chain technology, and SNU's Global Education Center for Engineers joined hands to open related courses for the first time this year.
Thomas Kang, Director of the Global Education Center for Engineers (Architectural Engineering), who led the creation of the new subject, said, "Although interest in blockchain is rapidly increasing within the campus, there have not been many opportunities for students to learn block chain technology yet." In response, he had several consultations with the university authorities and with the in-school academic society Decipher, which studies block chain technology, and encouraged the participation of universities and academic societies that agreed on the need to open Blockchain practical courses.
The academic curriculum and teaching materials continue to be supplemented and developed. In the newly opened Blockchain Practical Project course, the educational know-how accumulated by Decipher over three years was incorporated, and the members of the institute directly participated as assistant teachers for conducting the class and guided the students' projects.
This semester, the classes were held non-face-to-face to prevent the spread of COVID-19, but the students' enthusiasm and passion for learning was commendable. At the final presentation, projects on various topics such as Crypto ETF, media art using block chain technology, second-hand transactions, and censorship prevention SNS were announced and demonstrated, and the contents will be released later on the website of the the Global Education Center for Engineers (gece.snu.ac.kr).
Thomas Kang, Director of the center, said, "Just as the web page (www=world wide web), that was in its infancy until the early 1990s, has made great strides, we need to prepare in advance for the day when block chain will explode with its unpredictable technological potential," and added, "The SNU Department of Computer Science and Engineering will open additional advanced courses related to block chain and decentralization."
