  • The Hanbat HeraldBy Jeong Eui-seok Editor-in-chief, Junior of Information andCommunication EngineeringJournalism serves a crucial role in society by educating the public, fighting corruption, and promoting sustainable development. This line comes from UNESCOs 2024 report Journalism for Development. As the quote illustrates, journalism is one of the pillars that support society. The same applies on campus. Campus journalism represents students, delivers news throughout the school, and records interactions with universities at home and abroad. In doing so, it helps xss-create a sustainable campus community and make a positive impact beyond. HBNU also has its own campus media, and among them, the Hanbat Herald plays a leading role in making our university more global.OriginsFor over 80 years, HBNU has disseminated news through its Korean-language newspaper and broadcasting station. In 2009, following the trend of globalization, the university launched its first English-language newspaper, the Hanbat Herald. At that time, President Seong Dong-ho remarked, The Hanbat Herald will lead our university into a new era. I sincerely hope it will help our school stand among the worlds top universities. Since its first issue in 2009, the paper has published 35 editions as of December 2025. For 16 years, despite numerous changes, the Hanbat Herald has consistently delivered news both domestically and internationally.Organization and Structure33The Hanbat Herald is part of the University Newspaper and Broadcasting Station, which operates under the president's office with university funding. The station consists of three units: the Korean newspaper, the English newspaper, and the broadcasting team. The English newspaper office is in Student Hall (S2), Room 405. The staff consists of one editor-in-chief, four section leaders, and nine reporters. The editor-in-chief supervises overall operations, semester publishing plans, and administrative tasks. Section leaders are responsible for Editorial, Public Relations, and Management, with two leaders assigned to the Editorial Department for article quality. Reporters are assigned to departments and work together under each leader.Rules and RegulationsThe Hanbat Herald operates under clear rules. There are promotion rules and work rules. The promotion path is: cub reporterregular reportersection leadereditor-in-chief. New members begin as cub reporters after passing the recruitment test, and after one year, they automatically advance to regular reporters. Section leaders are selected from regular reporters when a vacancy occurs, through interviews with current leaders and the editor-in-chief. Those who serve as section leaders for at least one year can be appointed editor-in-chief if the position becomes vacant, with the agreement of the former editor-in-chief and current leaders. The editor-in-chiefs term is two semesters, while section leaders serve for three semesters, which ensures stability and continuity.A central rule is the 3-out system, which ensures that members strictly keep deadlines. Missing a deadline, being absent, or arriving late to meetings or study sessions counts as one out. After three outs, the member is dismissed. This system reinforces responsibility as representatives of the universitys media.Activities of the Hanbat HeraldThe main activities during each semester include writing articles and promoting the newspaper. The paper is published once per semester, and all members take part. Article writing begins with an Editorial meeting, where members suggest ideas in four sections: Campus, National, International, and Cultural. After the discussion, the topics are chosen. Drafts are first written in Korean, edited for flow and format, and then translated into English. Final manuxss-scripts are completed after feedback and proofreading, and reporters design the layout on their own. The finished newspaper is distributed on campus, to Korean high schools and universities, libraries, and overseas partner schools.Promotion is mainly through Instagram, with more than four posts uploaded each semester. Posts include introductions to the newspapers activities and simple English xss-expressions for students. This work is led by the PR Department.Types of ArticlesThe Hanbat Herald covers a wide range of topics as a campus English newspaper. It introduces students who won competitions, highlights the universitys history, and promotes exchange activities with partner universities. It also features study-abroad stories from HBNU students and experiences from international students, highlighting the university's global dimension. At the same time, it covers broader issues such as the Olympics, the rise of single-person households, and artificial intelligence (AI). In this way, the Hanbat Herald goes beyond campus and connects to global trends.Now, lets briefly answer some of the frequently asked questions.Q1. When is the recruitment for new reporters?Recruitment is held at the start of each semester. The first stage is a document screening, followed by a written test and interview. The combined score determines the final new members.Q2. Do I need strong English skills? How do members study English?High-level English is not required. If you can read and write short essays, that is enough. Since members exchange feedback many times during article writing, even students who are not confident in English can improve. In addition, English study groups are held weekly, including speaking practice, TOEIC preparation, watching English videos, and reading CNN articles with discussion. This environment naturally helps members strengthen their English.Q3. What support and benefits are available?The biggest benefit is 24-hour access to the office, which students use for both article deadlines and exam preparation. At the start of the semester, there is an appointment ceremony that makes members feel proud to be university reporters. In addition, section leaders and the editor-in-chief receive scholarships, which is another advantage.To give a more personal perspective, lets hear from a former reporter.Bae So-young, Alum, Hanbat Herald Reporter (20212022), Editor-in-Chief (2023-2024)Q1. How did the Hanbat Herald influence your university life and career?The most valuable experience was writing articles of my own. Through the process of organizing my thoughts and sharing them with readers, I grew a lot. For my career, I wanted to work in overseas business, and practicing English communication here was very helpful. Studying English with fellow reporters also improved my skills.Q2. What did you learn the most from your time here?I developed strong management skills. Beyond writing, planning events like team-building retreats, conducting interviews, and coordinating schedules taught me how to organize and lead. I also learned how to cooperate with others through teamwork.Q3. Any advice for juniors interested in joining?Try everything you want during your university years. For me, the Hanbat Herald was the core of my college life. I learned and experienced so much here, and I hope juniors will also challenge themselves without hesitation.Balancing academics and reporting is never easy. Yet, the process of planning articles, sharing opinions, and completing one issue together is a unique experience. Reporters gain teamwork and responsibility, which become valuable assets even after graduation. Since 2009, the Hanbat Herald has carried on this journey. I hope many more students will join and build upon it as a vital bridge between campus and society.UNESCO.

  • Smart Factory CenterBy Park Min-seo Reporter, Sophomore of Chemical and Biological EngineeringThe manufacturing industry is undergoing a rapid transformation. Instead of traditional machine-driven factories, smart factories, which integrate automation, data analytics, and artificial intelligence, have become a global trend. This change is also influencing university education. Beyond learning theory in classrooms, students are now expected to gain hands-on experience in environments that closely mirror real industrial sites.HBNU is leading this movement through its Smart Factory Center, which focuses on nurturing talent for the future of smart manufacturing. In 2018, HBNU was designated as a leading institution for innovation in the field of smart factories during the Fourth Industrial Revolution. This led to the establishment of the Smart Factory Center and the Smart Factory Convergence Program, which are still active today. The Smart Factory Center serves as a comprehensive platform for education, research, and industryacademia collaboration, offering students much more than a simple laboratory.What Is a Smart Factory?A smart factory represents the evolution of conventional automated factories. While automated factories operate based on pre-programmed instructions, smart factories employ artificial intelligence, big data, and machine learning technologies to analyze information and make autonomous decisions. Every stage of the process can be tracked in real time, enabing optimized responses to environmental changes. In essence, it is an intelligent factory capable of operating autonomously, with little human intervention.Cross-Disciplinary LearningThe defining feature of the Smart Factory Center is its independent and interdisciplinary structure. Beyond being confined to a single department, the center provides education that spans design, control, big data analysis, and automated processes. This enables students to collaborate across multiple fields, much as they would in real industrial settings.Advanced Facilities and Hands-On TrainingAt the center, state-of-the-art facilities such as the Smart Factory Testbed and the Smart In-Factory Logistics Lab are available. The testbed provides an integrated platform where students can explore processes ranging from simple packaging to overall process flow control. The Logistics Lab, which applies IoT-based in-factory logistics systems, enables students to simulate product transport and logistics optimization using a pallet-based transfer system. Through these facilities, students learn not only how to operate machines but also how to analyze production data and improve processes.Expanding Through Projects and Industry PartnershipsBeyond regular coursework, the Smart Factory Center offers a range of activities, including competitions, hands-on camps, and capstone design projects to strengthen students practical skills.The center also actively collaborates with local companies through the LINC 3.0 Project Group. In this program, students tackle real-world problems faced by businesses, gaining valuable field experience while companies benefit from their fresh, innovative ideas.Industrial Applications in PracticeSmart factories are already achieving tangible results in industry. For example, Samsung SDSs AI-based solution Nexplant reduced problem-solving time for manufacturing equipment from 12 hours to just 10 minutes. LG Electronics has also utilized IoT and AI to lower defect rates, improve production efficiency, and secure stable data transmission through its 5G-specialized network solution, earning domestic certification for network equipment in 2024.These cases demonstrate how smart factories enhance industrial competitiveness, closely aligning with the education provided at HBNUs Smart Factory Center.A Model for Future-Oriented EducationThe Smart Factory Center is more than just a training facility; it is an educational platform preparing students for future industries. Experience in interdisciplinary collaboration equips students with the adaptability required in diverse workplaces.With the smart factory market growing by 10 percent annually, companies are actively seeking specialists in the field. In this context, practice-oriented and interdisciplinary education in smart manufacturing is emerging as an essential trend in engineering education. The Smart Factory Center at HBNU stands as a prime example, growing into a meaningful platform for students, industry, and the local community alike.

  • HBNU Scholarship ProgramsBy Cho So-hee Cub Reporter, Freshman of EconomicsWhat do you think is the biggest burden in university life? Although HBNU has relatively low tuition fees as a national university, living and tuition expenses can still be burdensome. To ease these difficulties, HBNU offers a variety of scholarship programs according to its yearly budget. These scholarships are not only for students with excellent academic achievement. They also aim to support students based on their individual circumstances, including financial condition, student activities, and participation in international exchange programs. However, some students are unaware of scholarship opportunities because they believe scholarships are only for high grades or are unsure of the requirements. This article explores the various scholarship systems offered at HBNU.● Types of Scholarship ProgramsThe most well-known scholarship is the Academic Excellence Scholarship. It is awarded to current students who completed at least 12 credits in the previous semester and achieved outstanding academic results. Depending on GPA, tuition fees may be fully, half, or partially covered. Students are automatically selected based on department recommendations, but those who take a leave of absence, receive academic probation, or exceed the maximum duration of study are excluded. Furthermore, students must also fulfill the requirements for non-curricular education units (excluding departments dedicated to adult learners).As well as Academic Excellence Scholarships, HBNU provides special scholarships for both domestic and foreign students. Special scholarships include those for student activities. The scholarships include those that support student activities, such as the Student Council Scholarship, the Academic Society Union Scholarship, and the Student Club Union Scholarship. They also include need-based options, such as the Stepping Stone Scholarship, the Multicultural Family Scholarship, the Achievement scholarship, and the Work-Study Scholarship. Among these, three are particularly noteworthy:the Academic Excellence Scholarship, the Campus Work-Study scholarship, the General Study Abroad Scholarship ,and the Achievement Scholarship.TheCampus Work-Study Program provides the Work-Study Scholarship. This is a scholarship that students can relatively easily access, providing them with work experience and financial support. Qualified applicants are current students (excluding those on leave of absence, extended semesters, or graduation deferment) who wish to participate in work-study, have earned at least 70 points in the previous semester, and fall within financial aid level 9 or lower.Next is the General Study Abroad Scholarship. This scholarship is designed for international students and is divided into categories for new and continuing students (A/B/C), with awards granted according to their level of proficiency in the Test of Mastery in Korean (TOPIK). For new students, scholarships are awarded in the first semester based on admission results: Grade A covers full tuition, Grade B covers 50 percent, and Grade C covers 30 percent. For continuing students, those with a GPA of 3.70 or higher in the previous semester receive Grade A (full tuition), those with a GPA between 3.40 and 3.69 and who completed at least 12 credits receive Grade B (50 percent tuition), and those with a GPA between 3.00 and 3.39 and who completed at least 12 credits receive Grade C (30 percent tuition).Lastly, the Achievement Scholarship motivates students preparing for employment. It is divided into Grade A and B, and is awarded to students with a GPA of 3.0 or higher in the previous semester who have obtained employment related certifications or language test scores. Achievement scholarships A and B can only be conferred once during a students enrollment, and only certifications obtained after admission to the university are recognized. Achievements during a leave of absence are not counted, and for seniors, credits from the previous semester are not considered. Therefore, applicants must carefully check the selection criteria before applying.● How to apply for campus scholarshipsAt HBNU, many campus scholarships are awarded only if students apply directly. Therefore, students must submit their own applications, which can be done through the Integrated Academic System. The application process is as follows: Integrated Academic System > Scholarship Management > Scholarship Application Management > Apply for Scholarship. In addition, students can find more detailed information about eligibility and application procedures. Go to Academic and Scholarship Information > Scholarships > On-Campus Scholarship Programs, and search for 'Campus Scholarship Application Guide' in the search bar. Students who wish to apply for scholarships are encouraged to review the detailed instructions through the method explained above.

  • Semiconductor Specialized University Support ProjectBy Jeong Eui-seok Editor-in-chief, Junior of Information andCommunication EngineeringThere are essential things that humans need to live: water, air, family, love, and friendship. Today, we can also say that semiconductors are just as essential. Some people might wonder, Are semiconductors really that important? To answer this question, lets take a moment to look back on your day. Think about the smartphone you always hold, the public transportation that uses NFC readers to scan your card, or the classroom where you study under LED lights using an electronic board. All these everyday moments involve semiconductors. Consequently, semiconductors have become an indispensable part of our lives.According to Fortune Business Insights, the global semiconductor market is expected to soar from $611.35 billion in 2023 to $2.63 trillion by 2032. This incredible growth shows that semiconductors are essential in our daily lives and play a crucial role in the global economy.To keep up with this trend, the Korean government launched the Semiconductor Specialized University Support Project to train skilled semiconductor professionals. This project provides financial support to designated universities for four years. In 2024, HBNU was chosen to participate in the program. Working with Ajou University, HBNU was selected as a Co-Growth Specialized University and will receive a total budget of 24 billion KRW (about 240 million USD) by 2028. The participating departments include Semiconductor System, Information and Communication, Electronic, Electrical, Creative Convergence, Mobile Convergence, and Advanced Materials Engineering.The author has been participating in this program for more than six months. Over the past six months, I have participated in various lectures, programs, and courses. Now, I would like to share my experiences and answer some questions that students might have about the program.Benefits for StudentsWhat benefits does this project offer to students? This project provides two main benefits: financial support and experiential opportunities. In terms of financial support, the program offers various scholarships. These scholarships are mainly divided into general scholarships, TA support scholarships, and education support scholarships.1. General ScholarshipsGeneral scholarships refer to various types of financial aid that students can receive through both on and off-campus activities. For example, students who complete designated semiconductor specialization courses can receive major completion scholarships. Those with outstanding academic performance can receive merit-based scholarships. Additionally, participation scholarships are given to students who actively participate in program activities, and internship scholarships are available for those who engage in corporate field training.2. TA Support ScholarshipsStudents who are selected as teaching assistants (TAs) for semiconductor-related courses can receive TA support scholarships. A TA not only receives financial support but also deepens their knowledge of semiconductor studies.3. Education Support ScholarshipsWhen students participate in external semiconductor education programs, a certain amount of financial support is provided. Additionally, during vacation periods, around 10 students are selected to study abroad for 1-2 weeks in countries like the United States or Switzerland.The program also provides numerous experiential benefits. Students can participate in various activities such as lectures by industry professionals, educational exchanges with Ajou University, networking programs with other specialized universities, and corporate field training. Throughout the six-month program, the author gained valuable and in-depth exposure to the semiconductor field. Lets share some of these experiences along with photos.1. Specialized Uni-WeekSpecialized Uni-Week is an event where students from all semiconductor-specialized universities gather. In 2024, it was held at BEXCO, Busan, for two days from December 26 to 27. The event offered various programs, including hands-on booths where students could experience new technologies utilizing semiconductors. HR managers from semiconductor companies were also present to promote their companies and offer one-on-one mentoring sessions. Moreover, there were lectures from prominent figures in the Korean science and technology field.2. Lectures with Industry ExpertsHBNU regularly invites guest speakers during both the semester and vacation periods to hold seminars on semiconductor-related topics. The speakers included industry professionals and professors from other universities, covering a wide range of semiconductor fields. For example, although the author is majoring in semiconductor circuit design, I attended courses on new semiconductor processing methods and satellite semiconductors, which helped me broaden my perspective on the entire semiconductor industry.3.

  • College of Convergence and Undeclared MajorsBy Park Min-seo Cub Reporter, Sophomore of Chemical and Biological EngineeringIn 2025, HBNU established the College of Convergence and Autonomy, a new educational model designed to foster interdisciplinary thinking and creativity in response to the demands of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. This innovative system provides students with greater flexibility in selecting their majors while fostering well-rounded, future-oriented professionals.Unlike traditional colleges, the College of Convergence and Autonomy enables students to explore various academic disciplines in their first year before deciding on a major in their second year. This approach enables students to consider their interests and aptitudes, empowering them to take an active role in shaping their academic journey. Additionally, this system not only broadens students choices but also cultivates individuals with diverse academic perspectives and strong interdisciplinary skills. In addition to allowing freedom in offering flexibility in, it provides students with the opportunity to design their learning paths and engage with their studies in a way that best suits them.Structure and Key FeaturesThe College of Convergence and Autonomy is composed of five divisions: Division of Undeclared Majors, Division of Engineering, Construction, Environment s academic programs without enrollment capacity restrictions. This allows them to gain broad knowledge across multiple disciplines without being confined to a single field of study.The Division of Engineering and Construction, and Information Technology focus on convergence education in engineering and IT, helping students build core competencies in these areas.
