Doosan Heavy Industries & Construction signed an agreement with the Gyeongnam Center for Creative Economy and Innovation and Changwon National University to set up a “Water Campus” course, company officials said Thursday.
The “global water engineering” class is a joint program meant to foster talent for the water industry.
The class will be established as a regular course for Changwon National University engineering and mechatronics students for three credits.
The program, which will start next March, will be geared toward teaching third and fourth year university students for 17 weeks, three hours a week.
The program will include studies on seawater desalination and water treatment. Students will have an opportunity to visit the Doosan Heavy site.
Doosan officials said that they also have plans to run “Water Campuses” in other water industry-heavy regions such as Busan and Daegu.
“The demand for the water industry will rise not only overseas such as the Middle East and Europe, but also in Korea due to the recent drought,” said Choi Sang-ki, general director of the Gyeongnam Center for Creative Economy and Innovation.
