12 South Korean Education Institutions to Be Equipped With AVEVA Marine Solutions
AVEVA announced that they are equipping 12 South Korean education institutions with the latest range of AVEVA Marine solutions. This initiative is aimed at familiarizing students with AVEVA Marine solutions.
Out of the 12 institutions, four are universities, namely Seoul National University, Busan National University, Inha University and Ulsan University; five are colleges and the remaining three are industrial high schools.
The first phase of the project, which involved seven of the institutions, was implemented in early September 2007. The remaining five will be part of the second phase implementation in March 2008.
"As all major Korean shipbuilders use AVEVA Marine solutions, students who gain early exposure will help meet the manpower requirements of the maritime transportation industries and their associated shore-based supporting infrastructure," said Peter Finch, President of AVEVA Asia Pacific.
"Korea's shipbuilding business volume is increasing very rapidly. We need to create a technologically sound foundation for future growth and development by raising technological capabilities of graduates. Therefore our curriculum must reflect the marine industry-standards, often set by AVEVA," said Kim Tae Wan, Professor at the Department of Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering, Seoul National University.
