‘Emergency lights installed on the floor other than placing them above the door, automatic thermostat for a car, and a wheelchair which can go up and down the stairs…,’
PKNU (Pukyong National University) students swept the prizes in the 8th IE (Intelligent Electronics) Competition held recently with their brilliant ideas.
A team of Changyeol Lee (26), Taewoong Ha (26), Kijeong Ahn (26), Yonghyun Choi (27), and Suhung Lee in the Department of Electrical Engineering at PKNU won the grand prize, which is the Minister of Knowledge and Economy prize with ‘the LED exit information system using power line communication.’
This award-winning item is praised by its usefulness in easing access to the exit by installing the light on the floor rather than above the door and its green technology since the LED is used rather than traditional fluorescent light bulbs.
Another team of Changgeun Kwon (25), Heewon Kwon (26), and Bumki Kim (23) in the same department won a participation prize with ‘the high temperature protection system in a car using solar energy generation.’
The other team of Youngkwol (26), Sangyeop Yu (26), Hyunsoo Jeon (24), and Jaeyoung Huh (24) in the department also won a participation prize with ‘the auto riding wheelchair’, which can go up and down the stairs.
The IE Competition is held annually for graduate and undergraduate students and the event is designed to accelerate the development of new technology through having students plan and manage a system closely related to industrial sites.<Translator ; Park Si Hyeong, heartfulmind@naver.com>
