Approximately
30 years has
passed since
the founding
of Suwon Science
College in 1977.
The College
was founded
to instill students
with the importance
of national
defense and
a strong sense
of humanitarian
values including
general courtesy.
The College
was also founded
to raise the
number of middle
level technicians
to meet the
national demand.
In the early
days of the
College there
were only three
departments.
Now the
College accepts
more than 3,000
new students
each year and
the number of
departments
has increased
to 29 to meet
the changing
requirements
of the rapidly
developing industrial
world.
Korea
has achieved
tremendous economic
growth in the
past decades.
The rapid progress
of engineering
technology,
the development
of new products,
and the increase
in exports are
all behind this
rapid growth.
This growth
would not have
been possible
without the
expertise of
a well-trained
labor force.
The
future trend
in economic
development
will be in the
manufacturing
of hi-tech products.
In this
century trading
patterns will
become increasingly
complex, as
will the structure
of industrial
society, which
promises to
become an even
more diversified
society. The
College must
be at the forefront
of academic
research and
development
in technology
in order keep
pace with current
and future trends.
As
the founder
of the College,
I will do my
utmost to offer
the highest
quality education
and training
to our students,
so they can
bzecome expert
technicians
and contribute
to our national
development. |

Suwon
Science College
was established
by the Ko Woon
Foundation in
1977 to help
meet the national
demand for trained
professional
technicians.
These technicians
were needed
then in Korea,
and are needed
even more so
today, as leaders
of the future
society of informational
technology.
Promoting
the school motto:
frugality, justice,

Suwon Science

Plan of Development,
according to
which various
projects are
being carried
out. For example,
an educational
and administrative
computing network
is installed,
and hi-tech
educational
and laboratory
facilities are
fully equipped
with the latest
technical innovations.
According to
the Development
Plan, a new
hi-tech Lecture
and Library
Complex Building,
is being completed,
which would
be equipped
with one of
the best educational
facilities for
students. Suwon
Science College
does not hesitate
to acquire any
highly developed
educational
programs from
colleges in
other developed
countries.
I
will give my
best effort
in maintaining
the high standards
of this College.
I will work
hard to raise
excellent manpower

industrial society,
to create a
new desirable
educational
culture, and
