Greetings

Dear students and faculty of the College of Engineering at Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology (UNIST),

Our College of Engineering is a proud community that bridges the past and present of UNIST, while carrying the responsibility for its future. Over 60 years ago, the establishment of an industrial complex in Ulsan marked the beginning of Korea’s modernization and industrialization, laying a crucial foundation for the country’s progress. The talents and technologies cultivated by our college have played an essential role in this journey. Now, based on this historical legacy, the College of Engineering at UNIST is preparing for a new leap forward.

It was the Pioneer Spirit that made it possible to create an industrial complex on the undeveloped land of Ulsan more than 60 years ago. Moving forward, this pioneering spirit will be indispensable for our college to lead Korea’s resurgence, extending beyond Ulsan.

The educational goal of UNIST’s College of Engineering is to foster students into true pioneers, equipped with courage and resilience. Of course, courage without a solid foundation of expertise is mere recklessness. Therefore, providing students with ample professional knowledge is essential. Based on this foundation, we will offer students opportunities to demonstrate and develop their courage and resilience through various projects, and further, we will create spaces where they can test and grow themselves beyond the local level, on a global stage.

In addition, our college’s research aims to achieve excellence at the world’s highest level. To confidently engage in international collaborations and partner with industries, world-class research capabilities are required. To this end, we will actively support fields where global competitiveness can be attained. Based on these achievements, the College of Engineering at UNIST will become a hub for academia-industry collaboration, recognized internationally and serving both the region and the nation.

Although there may be many challenges ahead, we will continue to overcome obstacles and advance with a pioneering spirit and perseverance. I kindly ask for your continued interest and support for the College of Engineering at UNIST.
