2015OVERVIEWONDGISTAWorld-leadingConvergenceResearchUniversity

Our history as a university is not very long. DGIST began as a small-sized research institute
established by the Korean Government in 2004 and we had the privilege of welcoming our
first class of graduate students in 2011. And last year, with our first undergraduate students,
DGIST finally became a research-oriented university with various innovative programs
provided for students and researchers.
We started small but dreamed big. With a vision 'to become a world-leading
convergence research university', we have differentiated ourselves from the
beginning. Our strength comes from our foundation: an emphasis on
convergence strategy, unique education philosophies and systems, and win-win
cooperation between academia and research.
This innovativeness has already put DGIST in a special place within the landscape
of national higher education and research activities. We will continue to foster
the science talents equipped with our 3C spirits - Creativity,
Contribution, and Care - and to conduct various researches,
contributing to the improvement of our society and the world.

MIREBraiN stands for the six strategic areas on which DGIST focuses its research
and education. The acronym was formed from the first letters of each area referring
to the future brains of the nation and world whom DGIST is seeking to foster.
MIRE (pronounced [mi-rae] in korean) stands for the word 'future',
which was consciously incorporated into the acronym, MIREBraiN.

Career options
after graduation

The idea of ’Convergence’ is also well-reflected in designing our graduate school curriculum. Based on the MiIREBraiN program,
which are DGIST’s strategic areas on research and education, graduate school offers six degree courses: Emerging Materials Science,
Information and Communication Engineering, Robotics Engineering, Energy Systems Engineering, Brain and Cognitive Sciences, and
New Biology. Each course pursues active interdisciplinary approaches in their education and research activities, that is, convergence.
GRADUATE SCHOOL
Department of Emerging Materials Science (EMS)
“Pursuing the state-of-the-art science on new materials via interdisciplinary approach”
Emerging materials science is a cross-disciplinary field of study designed from a convergence between ‘the
fundamental research on material properties’ and ‘applied science and engineering using functional
material components’. It is now positioned as one of the major academic fields of study as new materials
involve critical components of emerging technology that lead the development of modern scientific
industries and academia. The Department pursues state-of-the-art interdisciplinary research combining
physics, materials science, chemistry, and biology together. It envisions to culture future scientists and
engineers in the materials related fields, who will play leading roles in both academia and industries with their
creative problem solving skills and research capabilities.

“Todevelopenvironment-friendlyrenewableenergysourcesanddevices”
The energy problem is one of the most important issues that humanity is currently facing. There have
been urgent demands for strong remedial action to secure sustainable and environment-friendly
energy resources for the survival of humanity. Modern science and technology are extensively
searching for such power sources as well as systems utilizing renewable energy alternatives. Along
with this wide range of social movements, a shift in the conventional education paradigm is being
undertaken to have students handle these new forms of energy. The Department aims to prepare
engineers to creatively design and implement energy systems and renewable energy sources for the next
generation in their engineering discipline.

DepartmentofNewBiology
“Newbiologyforsustainabilityofhumanity”
New Biology is a completely new area of study going beyond the existing body of biology. It
approaches biology with further integration and in closer collaboration with various
scientific and technological fields, such as: the life sciences, physics, mathematics,
engineering, computing, the humanities, and social sciences. In this sense, new
biology has the potential to provide practical solutions to many of the major
challenges confronting the world, whether they are environmental, medical, energy-
related, or food-related issues. The Department aims to create a next-generation
paradigm of knowledge, technology, and science in the era of new biology for sustainable human
existence.
