The Automotive Convergence College of Kookmin University (President Jung Seung-ryul) won the Ministry of Education and the Korea Chamber of Commerce and Industry's 2024 Future Automotive Capstone Competition with the Maximize team's “Application of Smart Technology to Improve Kickboard Safety” theme, and the Mosevi team won the Korea Chamber of Commerce and Industry Chairman's Award for “Development of an Intrusion Detection System Based on Automotive CAN.”

The 2024 Future Car Capstone Competition, supported by the Ministry of Education and the Korea Chamber of Commerce and Industry, was participated in by seven universities, including Kookmin University, Keimyung University, Daerim University, Sun Moon University, Ajou University, Inha University, and Chungbuk National University, as a consortium of future car companies. The results of the WE-Meet project in collaboration with companies were judged and the first and second place winners were selected.

Under the guidance of Professor Dong-seok Kim, the Maximize team, in collaboration with GM Technical Center Korea, won the first place with a personal mobility device that greatly enhanced safety by developing a three-wheeled kickboard and equipping it with various smart sensors, including a camera, which was built by students Tae-woong Yoon, Chang-hyun Han, and Maksim Seok of the College of Automotive Convergence. Under the guidance of Professor Jeon Sang-hoon, the Mosevi team, in collaboration with Samsung Electronics, won second place for the development of a cyber intrusion detection system based on the automotive CAN network by students Kim Se-bi, Kang Ja-hyun, and Lim Tae-jong of the College of Automotive Convergence.

The College of Automotive Convergence at Kookmin University is providing students with the opportunity to experience an actual product development environment through such company-linked capstone classes, and is developing the ability to apply the theories learned in the classroom to the field. Through this, students are gaining practical experience and making positive achievements that lead to employment.

Meanwhile, Kookmin University is currently playing a leading role in fostering talent in the field of future automobiles represented by autonomous driving and artificial intelligence through its role as the host university of the Ministry of Education's Advanced Field Innovation Convergence University Project Future Automobile Consortium and the implementation of the BK21 Phase 4 Autonomous Driving xEV Innovative Talent Education and Research Project. Based on these efforts, Kookmin University is growing into a world-class automobile university that goes beyond Korea.
