Kookmin University (President Jeong Seung Ryul) College of Science and Technology held a special department introduction exhibition titled 《Science Vill》 in the lobby of the College of Science from Monday, November 24 to Friday, November 28.

This exhibition featured participation from all eight majors within the College of Science and Technology—Forestry, Environment, and Systems, Forest Products & Biotechnology, Nano & Electronic Physics, Applied Chemistry (Nanomaterials & Biotherapeutics), Information Security, Cryptography and Mathematics, Food & Nutrition, and Bio and Fermentation Convergence Technology—all possessing international capabilities and expertise. Together, they provided a multidimensional view of the broad academic ecosystem of science and technology. Particularly noteworthy, the exhibition's planning and direction were handled by Professor Kim Mi Kyo and her students from the <Art Management and Curating> course in the College of Art, School of Fine arts, Sculpture Major, drawing significant attention.
Students utilized the entire space from the first-floor lobby to the central staircase of the College of Science, presenting works and installations that visually embodied each major's goals and characteristics. This approach was praised for transcending a simple department introduction, embodying the concept of a ‘knowledge ecosystem’ that connects and expands future technology trends, and showcasing the College of Science and Technology's pioneering spirit of breaking down disciplinary boundaries and academic barriers. Furthermore, the research achievements introduced in the exhibition presented the potential for creative technologies, grounded in fundamental scientific theory, that can be applied across the economy and society.

Students from the Sculpture Major in Kookmin University's School of Fine arts directly analyzed the research fields and achievements of each major within the College of Science and Technology. They then artistically reinterpreted these and participated in the overall exhibition planning and direction.
Dean Kim Tae Jong of the College of Science and Technology and Dean Ahn Hye Ri of the School of Fine arts stated, “Through this collaborative experience of translating science into artistic language for sensory communication, the two academic fields created new synergy.” They added, “The exhibition likely provided students with an opportunity to reaffirm their expertise and pride in their majors, while offering the university community inspiration for broad career exploration and future planning.”
