There are a lot of capstone design classes in Ajou University these days. Capstone design is a program to encourage talented students who have the ability of creative overall design. Therefore, Ajou University conducts several capstone design classes. The subject named interdisciplinary capstone design is one of Ajou University’s capstone design classes.
This subject was introduced in 2016. However, many students are not aware that this subject exists. Interdisciplinary capstone design performs a role as a qualification when students try to get a job. Thus, The Ajou Globe (The AG) is trying to introduce this subject now.
This subject comes under the liberal arts and the convergent education program, whose attendee who takes this class can experience communication and cooperation among other students who attend the same class. Furthermore, this subject aims for students to work as a team to help build leadership qualities, creativity, and business skills by planning and solving the assignment, which society and industry require. Therefore, this class attendee forms a team with other students who are from different majors. Thus, when the team is formed, team members cannot be from a single major. Only college juniors and seniors can take this class.
Although this subject was introduced, only one team completed this project because no promotion was done regarding this subject. Therefore, The AG introduced the aforementioned team and named them Archive. The team members consist of majors from the Department of Korean language and literature, the Department of English Language and Literature, the Department of history, and the Department of digital media. They published an electronic book named “A Guide to Korean Life for International Students” in the Korean bookstore. They shared useful information regarding the life of an international student in the university in English and Korean versions.
Through this article, The AG hopes for many students to enroll in this class and come up with something creative like the Archive. The AG thinks that if they do that, it will have a significant influence in the Korean Society. Therefore, we recommend this subject to many Ajou University students.
