The Interdisciplinary Creative 토토 세븐 Program for CALS Graduate Students, which was initiated in April 2018, is beginning its second term. The program selects and provides funds to 토토 세븐ers to conduct 토토 세븐 on interdisciplinary topics that combine two or more areas of study for 20 weeks. For the May English newsletter, we interviewed Tae-hwan Kim, a senior 토토 세븐er from the Career and Vocational Education Center at SNU who was in charge of planning the Interdisciplinary Creative 토토 세븐 Program. The program was designed to provide graduate students of the CALS, SNU with an opportunity to conduct creative and challenging 토토 세븐 related to their majors and enhance their interdisciplinary and creative 토토 세븐 competencies. Tae-hwan Kim said, “a discussion among members of the Student Administration and the Student Planning Committee raised awareness about the lack of programs for graduate students, although numerous 토토 세븐 support programs were available for undergraduate students. ‘토토 세븐 competencies’ has been selected as the most needed ability for graduate students. Accordingly, the program was designed to develop the ability, more specifically 토토 세븐 competencies for interdisciplinary and creative 토토 세븐.
A 토토 세븐 team applying for the Interdisciplinary Creative 토토 세븐 Program must include graduate students from other majors.
The Interdisciplinary Creative 토토 세븐 Program differs from the existing Creative 토토 세븐 Program run on campus in that it is for graduate students, not undergraduate students, and requires interdisciplinary cooperation. The group that took first place in the program’s first term last year consisted of students majoring in Horticultural Science and Biotechnology and Mechanical Engineering. They successfully combined the two areas to develop a diagnostic system for early diagnosis of plant diseases using low-abundance protein detection. They scored high on the “need for interdisciplinary 토토 세븐” in the evaluation standard and finished the competition with excellent results.
토토 세븐 directors who wish to apply for the program must form a 토토 세븐 team with graduate students from other fields, plan creative 토토 세븐, and submit their 토토 세븐 plan with other required documents. A 토토 세븐 director must be a graduate student from the CALS who has published at least one paper in a journal or has finished their graduate program. Co-토토 세븐ers must be from other areas of study. Enrollment is not restricted to students from the CALS or SNU; students from other universities may also enroll in the program.
The screening process consists of two stages: document screening and presentation screening. In the case of “the 1st Interdisciplinary Creative 토토 세븐 Program for CALS Graduate Students,” participants were selected based on presentation results without any document screening process. Participants will also be subject to document screening starting this year, in the program’s second year. 토토 세븐 teams with a clear 토토 세븐 purpose who structure the content of their presentation logically will be selected by the Student Guidance Committee. 토토 세븐 protocols are evaluated based on the need for interdisciplinary 토토 세븐, validity of the 토토 세븐 purpose and content, appropriateness of the methodology, level of detail in the 토토 세븐 schedule, and presentation skills. The 토토 세븐 protocols must contain the students’ plan for how to combine information, data, perspectives, and theories from two or more areas of study to resolve an issue that cannot be solved with knowledge from a single field.
The budget for the program is 20 million won per year. Each selected team will receive 5 million won in two separate payments. They will first receive 토토 세븐 funds after attending 토토 세븐 induction ceremony and signing a written agreement, and later receive the second payment after submitting an interim report. The Career and Vocational Information Center ensures that 토토 세븐 funds are used in accordance with 토토 세븐 protocols and reported that this has indeed been the case for all 토토 세븐 conducted thus far.
The Interdisciplinary Creative 토토 세븐 Program for CALS Graduate Students is a relatively new program that has only entered its second year. A wider recognition of the program will allow graduate students from different areas of study to understand each other’s 토토 세븐 and cooperate to conduct even better 토토 세븐. We hope to see the program successfully promote more innovative and creative 토토 세븐 by graduate students.
