Technology, AI & Law Society Hosted Seminar on Responsible and Effective Use of AI in the Workplace The student club Technology, AI & Law Society at SUNY Korea hosted a seminar titled “AI in the Workplace: Responsible and Effective Use of AI” on May 13, 2026. The event featured Professor Joseph S. Cabuay, who delivered a presentation focused on how artificial intelligence is being used in real workplace settings and how students can prepare for an AI-driven future. During the seminar, Professor Cabuay discussed practical AI tools and real applications that are currently being used across different industries. He also explained how students, including those without an engineering background, can use AI effectively for both academic and professional purposes. A major focus of the seminar was responsible AI use, emphasizing that AI should support human work rather than replace critical thinking. Professor Cabuay highlighted the importance of reviewing AI outputs carefully and making independent decisions instead of becoming overly dependent on technology. The seminar attracted students from various majors who are interested in AI ethics, governance, and career development. Free dinner was provided, and attendees gained useful insights on how to stay competitive in the workplace while using AI with skill, responsibility, and integrity.

From Classroom to Assembly Line: ASME Students Explore Hyundai Motor’s Asan Plant On April 8, students from the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) student club in the Mechanical Engineering Department had the chance to step outside the classroom and into one of Korea’s most recognized industrial spaces during a facility tour of Hyundai Motor Company’s Asan Plant. Organized by the club, the trip gave students a firsthand look at how large-scale automotive manufacturing works in the real world. The group departed from the SUNY Korea main gate early in the morning and traveled by chartered bus to Asan. After arriving at the plant at 9:30 am, students began the guided tour at Hyundai’s PR Center, where they received an introduction to the company, the history of the Asan Plant, and its role in vehicle production. Exhibits and presentations helped provide context before students entered the production areas. From there, the group moved through several key stages of manufacturing. In the Press Shop, students learned about the panel production process. This stage focused on one of the earliest steps in manufacturing: how vehicle body panels are prepared and formed. Next, students moved to the Body Shop, where guides explained the body production and assembly process. Here, participants were introduced to how major structural sections of a vehicle are brought together before final assembly. The final stage brought them to the Assembly Shop, where workers and automated systems installed interior components, electrical systems, and finishing parts before the vehicles reached final inspection. After reviewing all major stages, the tour concluded at 11 am. One of the most valuable parts of the trip was seeing how each department contributes to the larger manufacturing chain. Rather than viewing engineering as separate subjects, students could see how materials, mechanics, automation, and management all work together inside a modern factory. Events like this show the value of learning beyond the classroom. The Hyundai facility tour gave students more than just a day trip, it gave them a closer look at the careers, technology, and innovation waiting beyond graduation.

Mechanical Engineering Graduate Students Win Awards at KSME Conference SUNY Korea proudly announces that JuHwan Kim, a graduate student in Mechanical Engineering, received the Outstanding Thesis Award, while Jaewon Lee, also a graduate student in Mechanical Engineering, received the Best Paper Award at the Korean Society of Mechanical Engineers (KSME) 20th Anniversary Reliability Conference, held from April 8 to 10 at Lotte Hotel Jeju. JuHwan Kim’s research focuses on improving the reliability and lifetime prediction of Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistors (IGBTs) by developing a Physics-of-Failure-based model centered on solder degradation, enabling more accurate and physically grounded lifetime assessment for power semiconductor devices. Notably, Jaewon Lee graduated in Fall 2025 and will begin his PhD program at the University of Maryland in Fall 2026, continuing his academic and research journey. Co-hosted by SUNY Korea and Jeju National University, the conference brought together approximately 400 participants, including leading researchers, faculty, and students in the field. Faculty and students from SUNY Korea’s Physics-of-Failure Lab and MEIC Lab also participated in the event. In addition, SUNY Korea was presented with a Certificate of Appreciation in recognition of its support and role in co-hosting the conference. This recognition reflects SUNY Korea’s continued commitment to academic excellence and impactful research in mechanical engineering.

SUNY Korea Students Bring Life to Local Alleyways Through Michuhol-gu Mural Project Students from SUNY Korea's Glocal Fairness Studies (GFS) Club took part in the Michuhol-gu mural restoration project in November 2025, during which they worked with community-based organizations in the area, local government agencies, and on projects to enhance the beauty of cities and promote civic participation. The project was funded by the Incheon Youth's Association and carried out in partnership with the Michuhol-gu District Office. The project's purpose is to improve the alleys' stair murals lining Gyeongin-ro 499, and to update and build on previous work that had been completed on murals. 15 students painted new murals using bright colors & creative styles on old walls/areas that were once unused. Each area can now be identified with bright, engaging mural designs. The Subong Overpass mural is a representation of what local residents wanted for the mural. Students were able to use the experience as an opportunity to better understand the process of designing urban environments and working with the community as well as participating in a public art project. The project provided students with an opportunity to connect their academic experience to working with local organizations on social issues and create an opportunity for student-led club members to partner with a local organization and create impact in their community. The renovation of Michuhol-gu's murals serves as an example of the commitment that SUNY Korea has made to create socially responsible individuals and improve the overall landscape of the city through the development of collaborative community projects.
