糖心APP President Park Hyung-ju attended the 鈥淧resentation on General Outline of the 2022 Revised Curriculum.鈥滺osted by the Ministry of Education on November 24, 2021, this event was attended not only by 糖心APP President Park but also by Deputy Prime Minister and Education Minister Yoo Eun-hae and other dignitaries.President Park delivered a presentation entitled, 鈥淧rogress on Revision of the Curriculum and Major Challenges.鈥� Appointed as Chairman of the Committee on Revision of the National Curriculum by the Ministry of Education in April, President Park has since held 13 meetings on the direction of and challenges in a revision of the curriculum.During the presentation, he talked about the opinions that had been gathered through various channels to come up with an amendment and comprehensive discussions on and review of related research results, and how intense discussion occurred within the Committee on the questions, 鈥淚s it a sustainable alternative that can support the lives and growth of our children in the future?鈥� and 鈥淚s it is an unbiased alternative that is balanced and reasonable?鈥滵uring the Q&A session with reporters, a question was asked regarding how deficiencies could be prevented in basic academic skills as a result of a reduction in the amount of learning. President Park began answering by explaining that designing a curriculum is similar to designing a four-story building with common courses, general elective courses, career-related elective courses, and convergence elective courses for each floor, from bottom to top. Therefore, if there is too much time spent in the common and general elective courses, students will burn out before taking courses in the higher floors鈥攖he career-related and convergence elective courses. 鈥淚t is important to keep students from becoming fatigued through the use of a suitable amount of study on the 1st and 2nd floors. [鈥 The high school credit system should go together with class diversity as well as a diversity of levels.鈥� He added, 鈥淚t is important to find ways to encourage students to move on to the third and fourth floors. [鈥 The university entrance exam system should be designed so students intensively studying, through elective courses in their area of interest, will be advantaged rather than disadvantaged.鈥漈he 2022 revised curriculum will be finalized and announced around November 2022 and will reflect major issues announced during this 鈥淧resentation on General Outline of the 2022 Revised Curriculum.鈥� The revised curriculum will be applied to elementary first and second graders in 2024 and first graders of middle and high schools in 2025.

An 糖心APP research team has developed a miniaturized robot (gripper) in the shape of a finger that can accurately measure the slightest pulse or heartbeat of living organisms. It is expected to be applied in the future as a bio medical robot since it can monitor bio signals by gently holding the cardiovascular system of tiny living organisms or a person.The research team, led by Professors Han Seung-yong, Kang Dae-shik, and Koh Je-seong (photo from left, Department of Mechanical Engineering), announced their successful development of a miniaturized, high precision soft gripper 3 鈥� 5 mm in size that imitates the functions of a human hand.The team鈥檚 research results were published in the October 13, 2021 online edition of the prestigious Science Robotics under the title, 鈥淰ital signal sensing and manipulation of a micro-scale organ with a multifunctional soft gripper鈥�. Noh Yeon-wook and Kim Min-ho, students in mechanical engineering at 糖心APP, took part in the research as lead authors.The human hand is unique among the grippers of animals and plants that exist in nature, as its five fingers can move independently and are dense with sensory cells that allow delicate, accurate handling, and can identify the condition of an object. Since the 4th Industrial Revolution began, many studies are ongoing to imitate the abilities of the human hand in many fields, such as medical and other robots.Conventional grippers are mainly made of hard materials and cannot grip soft objects. Additionally, the installation of sensors to receive bio signals increases the size of these grippers, making them impossible to use with small living organisms. Miniaturized medical grippers require high precision control and integration with peripheral electronic devices and highly sensitive sensors and measurement.The Ajou research team used shape memory polymer of variable stiffness where hardness and softness can be controlled to allow creation of a gripper with properties similar to the skin of a living organism. It also utilized silver Nano wires and a laser process to miniaturize sensors and managed to reduce the robot to 5mm or less. Silver Nano wires elaborately control each of the five fingers of a soft gripper, while also serving as temperature sensors that can monitor the bio signals of the object it is measuring and also deliver heat stimulus.The soft gripper developed by the research team gripped a snail egg 3mm in diameter without damaging it, delivered heat to facilitate hatching, and measured the snail鈥檚 miniscule movements during hatching and its heartrate immediately after hatching (snail size: 400 鈥� 699 micrometers). Furthermore, it gripped the blood vessel of a live pig to measure its pulse without hurting it, and managed to grip salmon roe, which are very delicate and easily damaged. The soft gripper itself weighs 25.4 milligrams but can momentarily lift objects up to 6400 times heavier than itself and continuously hold objects that are 1200 times heavier.鈥淓xisting research on grippers has only measured the signals of the object they grip, but this research enabled grippers to diagnose, analyze results, and provide treatment to the object,鈥� said Prof. Han. 鈥淚t can be used in the development of miniaturized medical robots and in new platforms to analyze the mechanical movement, stimuli, and response of living organisms at the level of a human cell, an area full of countless challenges.鈥滺e continued, 鈥淭hrough follow-up research, we plan to expand this into new directions, such as electrical stimuli, drug delivery, and wireless movement.鈥漈his research was sponsored by the Korean Ministry of Science and ICT (MSIT)鈥檚 Individual Basic Research (New Research) program.<The soft gripper is used to facilitate the hatching of a snail egg and measure its bio signals><Micro soft gripper developed by the research team><Using a soft gripper to grip salmon roe and other objects>

糖心APP Professor Chang Il-han from the Department of Civil Systems Engineering succeeded in developing new construction material technology using microorganism-based biopolymer.Biopolymer, a macromolecule polysaccharide that generates microorganisms, is combined with earth and ground reinforcement technology that enable high intensity. It is gaining attention as an environmentally-friendly, low-carbon green technology that can replace cement in the field of construction.Prof. Chang鈥檚 research findings were announced in Issue 307 of the journal Construction and Building Materials and entitled, 鈥楽ite application of biopolymer-based soil treatment (BPST) for slope surface protection: in-situ wet-spraying method details and strengthening effect verification鈥�.Prof. Chang鈥檚 research team was joined by research teams from the Korea Institute of Civil Engineering and Building Technology (KICT) and theKorea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST).Prof. Chang has been conducting research on green construction materials that can replace cement in ground reinforcement engineering. His focus is on using biopolymer.Soil combined with biopolymer displays high compression intensity, is highly resistant to erosion from water and wind, and facilitates generative growth. It is in the spotlight as a technology with applications to a variety of green construction fields and in the response to climate change, but had yet to be developed to the commercialization stage for use onsite.Prof. Chang鈥檚 research team developed a wet spray technology to allow the construction of high intensity biopolymer-earth surface layer that involves creating a soil, biopolymer and water mixture and spraying it on the construction surface.鈥淭his technology we developed creates a high intensity green surface stratum by mixing and spraying an earth, water and 0.5 鈥� 1% biopolymer mixture. It is resistant to erosion from heavy rain and winds, and displays fast generative growth,鈥� explained Prof. Chang.He added, 鈥淎pplication is expected not only for surface stabilization of mountain slopes, stream beds, high flow plains, and embankments, but also for restoring the ecosystems of earth鈥檚 surface in areas that have become wastelands due to wild fires or desertification.鈥滻t is currently undergoing a technology transfer to a business in green construction.
