19. Student Exchange Program

20. © POSTECH Center for Ubiquitous Manufacturing Student Exchange Program  Motivation  The proposed joint research item is wide research, including ubiquitous computing as well as manufacturing. Therefore, for the study, various domain knowledge might be needed.  To carry out the joint research item, studying during short term and exchanging e-mail is not enough.  For the joint research like joint workshops and seminars, long cooperation between laboratories is required.  Goal  Carrying out a long term or short term joint research by PhD candidates  Publishing the result in an international journal  Implementing the result as a prototype system

21. © POSTECH Center for Ubiquitous Manufacturing Student Exchange Program  Types of programs  Short term exchange program : During the vacation (2 month), sending PhD candidate to the other laboratory for a joint research  Long tern exchange program : During the semester (6 month), sending PhD candidate to the other laboratory for a joint research  Methods  Short term program : Each of PhD candidates introduces research areas of the each laboratory. After that, they draw a common subject and carry out preliminary research on the topic.  Long term program : Joint research team choose one subject among joint research items and carry out the studies of the topic. Based on the result, the team publish a paper in an international journal or implement a prototype system.  Deliverables  Short term program : Preliminary report of joint research  Long term program : Paper (International Journal) or prototype system
