KAIST Overview / 3

Brief History❒orea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) has developed into one of the bestscience and engineering colleges in Asia. KAIST was established under the name of KoreaAdvanced Institute of Science (KAIS) under a special law in February 16, 1971 as the first

research oriented graduate school in science and engineering in Korea with the purpose of developingscientists and engineers to advance science and technology, develop R&D based on national policies andsupport national research/industries. In 1989, KAIST established the education/research system of special talentsin science and engineering fields in bachelor, master and doctoral degrees, and KAIST has succeeded ingreatly contributing to the innovation of science and technology and improving international competitiveness byserving as a model institute that advanced science and technology performs high-end research, and being thebirthplace of venture companies.

KAIST was able to achieve its goals quickly by utilizing the tradition of special science and engineeringfields, know-how and strengths accumulated on the basis of self-regulated and flexible academic affairs underthe special law in a way to introduce the advance academic system that includes no-entrance examapplications, no class or department "core" system, research-oriented / quality-centered education, eartheducation, interdisciplinary education system operation, invited visitors of notable foreign professors, full lectureassessment system, stringent faculty personnel management by work assessment and others, obligatorypublication of doctorate dissertation work in well known academic publications, minimal burden of lectures,research system, establishment of cyber university and other activities. KAIST has led other colleges andresearch institutions in Korea by its successful model operation and was verified by the ABET (USA, HigherScience Education Assessment Board) assessment (graduate course is within 10% of top US college level) in1992, assessment of nationwide colleges by Joongang Ilbo (1995, 1998 2001: First position, 1995 2001:～～First in faculty and research fields for 7 consecutive years), and assessment of Asian colleges by Asiaweek(1999 2000: Number one in science and technology) and others.～

For the past 30 years, KAIST has produced 7,018 bachelors, 15,624 masters, 5,758 doctorate holders(doctors under 30 years of age were 2,526, 44%) giving a total of 28,400 alumni. The thesis published inSCI (US, Science and Technology Quotation Thesis Search) journals reached approximately 4 articles per eachfaculty member, and the commissioned research grant was approximately 200 million won per each facility,which is world-class level. The business start up by the alumni members reached approximately 368companies in high-tech fields (as of Mar. 2003) and the famous scientific publications such as Nature「」(GB, July 1993) and Science (USA, October 1993) have assessed that, “KAIST has the potential to be「」the world best level education institution.”

KAIST has established its vision for "World Class Research University" in a long-term development plan in1994 for the structuring of research system and academic system in the future strategic field as well asdeveloping the global leader of knowledge creation with international sense and competitiveness. Through theVision 2010 initiative in December 2001 and foundation of the National Nano Lab in July 2002, theinstitution continues its commitment to the highest quality of education and research, achieving internationallevel of education and research infrastructure, and securing core competency in national strategy-basedtechnology to form KAIST into a world-class research-oriented university.

Curriculum / 19

Structure❒1. Basic policy of curriculum operation

The education at Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) is focused on cultivatingproblem solving capability and independent creative research ability in addition to the traditional educationby lectures. The curriculum is organized and integrated to lead from bachelor's to master's to PhD course;mutually recognized subjects between each course are established and determined by the applicabledepartment (major) and specified in the department (major) curriculum.

2. Curriculum ClassificationA. Courses are divided into subject courses and research courses.

S◦ ubject courses for the undergraduate program are divided into general, basic, and major courses. Generalcourses include mandatory general courses, and elective general courses in humanities & socialscience. Basic courses include mandatory basic course and elective major courses. Major coursesinclude mandatory and elective major courses. Research courses include B. S. thesis research, fieldinternship, research, individual study, and seminar.

◦ The subject courses for master's and doctorate programs are divided into mandatory general, mandatorymajor and elective major courses. Research courses include thesis research, individual research, andseminar.

B. The composition of the subject is determined based on the need of each department (major) by eachdepartment (major) and the credits assigned are assigned based on the importance of the subject and thehours required for lecture and experimentation.

4. Credit classification and time indicationA. The course units are either credits or AU (Activity Unit), and the credit is classified into the subject

credit and the research credit.B. The subject credit can be classified into 1, 2, 3 and 4 credits depending on the importance and the

number of class hours per week of the subject. 1 credit is given for a lecture of one hour per weekfor one semester or its equivalent number of hours. However, the experimental lab provides 1 credit forthree hours per week for one semester of education or equivalent education hours.

C. Seminar credit shall be one credit per semester in principle, and depending on the requirement of eachdepartment (major), up to 2 credits can be granted. The assigned hours per week in a seminar aredetermined by each department (major).

D. Individual research credits can be granted up to 12 credits for each semester as decided by the


advising professor of the student. However a total of 15 credits can not be exceeded.E. Thesis research credits can be granted up to 3 credits for each semester as decided by the advising

professor of the applicable student. However a total of 12 credits can not be exceeded.F. AU is an activity for completing the physical education requirement and service activities that is not

included in the graduation credit. 1 AU is an activity for one hour per week for one semester or theactivity with equivalent hours.

G. Lecture: Lab: Credit: Assignment “Lecture” is a number of lecture hour per week, “Lab” is the→experiment/lab hours per week, “Credit” is the total number of credits, and “Assignment” is thenumber of assignments per week.

Credit Requirements❒1. Undergraduate Course

A. Students in the undergraduate program (bachelor's degree) have to complete a minimum of 130 creditsfor graduation, and have to satisfy the requirements of each classification.

B. Students in the undergraduate program may select subjects in the 100-400 levels and mutually-recognizedsubjects in the 500 level.

C. With the exception of make-up courses, the same course shall not be repeatedly taken for credit.D. In the event that a subject is not available for inevitable reasons, a substitute course should be taken.E. The credit requirements for graduation for each department (division)
