School of New & Renewable Energy

Education leader of the Country's leading growth green industry in the 21st century - Specialization in solar cells and hydrogen fuel cells

Overview

Recently, it is true that all living organisms on Earth can not avoid the possibility of a true disaster due to energy depletion. Excessive emissions of green house gases through the use of fossil fuels has been a major cause of Global warming. As a way of reducing greenhouse gas emissions there are the possibilities of new and renewable energy development to heal the human race and our civilization that is so addicted to fossil fuel energy. To meet these social needs, the Department of New & Renewable Energy at Kyungil University, which was established in July of 2009, is committed to educating future leaders in the country's low-carbon green growth areas. These future leaders have specialization in solar cell and hydrogen fuel cell technology in order to proactively respond to the ever increasing trend of high oil prices. In addition, the Department of New & Renewable Energy aims to expand the base of this field's workforce, and expand consumer-oriented customized training programs, while working in close association with industrial operations. As a result, our students will not only have theoretical competence, but also the practical skills that are needed in the green energy field.
