Ajou Automotive University participated in the ‘2023 Seoul Mobility Show’, which opened on March 31st and will be held at KINTEX for a total of 10 days until April 9th.
Ajou Automotive University is Korea’s only specialized automobile university, established by the Daewoo Foundation in 1994 in cooperation with Ajou University and Ajou University Medical Center. By opening a bachelor’s degree program (intensive major course) and a master’s degree program (master of professional technology), we have achieved the advancement of technical education in the associate degree (2-year), bachelor’s (4-year), and master’s systems.
The school explains that it has professors with abundant industrial experience and about 150 practice vehicles, and has produced many professional technicians in various industries, including automobiles, based on the best facilities, including Korea’s only 1km-long driving test site.
At this exhibition, Ajou Automotive University announced its educational and development achievements, including the production of a racing car for racing competitions, the production of a flying F1 machine, and the implementation of a 360-degree sphere simulator cockpit.
Last year, Ajou Automotive University participated in the Nexen Speed Racing GT-100 class competition twice with 14 students led by Professor Sangbeom Kim. We manufactured two race cars (based on Avante MD and Avante AD) with the goal of participating in racing competitions involving vehicles equipped with 1.6 GDI engines. Through this, students acquired competition car manufacturing skills and increased interest and understanding of motor sports. It is possible to increase .
The Flying F1 machine was produced by Professor Geun-Mook Kim, Professor Jun-Seong Kim, and eight students from Ajou Automotive University. This is a task aimed at improving job skills in the development and production of UAM flying cars among future transportation methods, and its significance was to secure UAM technology, train technicians, and contribute to accelerating the development of related markets. In addition, revitalizing manned drone racing is also an expected effect.
The 360-degree sphere simulator cockpit implements actuator modeling, simulation, and controller using Simulink (Simscape, 3D animation) tools and Automation Studio, and was produced with the participation of Professor Geun-Mook Kim and 13 students. This is a task to secure simulator development technical capabilities that can respond to the metaverse era and to secure an actuator control logic board that can be linked with PC game data.
An official from Ajou Automotive University said, “Our school’s works are very meaningful in that they were created with the direct participation of our students.” He added, “We will continue to strive to produce talented individuals who can demonstrate outstanding capabilities in various industries, including automobiles.” “He said.
Meanwhile, the 2023 Seoul Mobility Show will begin with a press day on March 1th (Thursday) at KINTEX Exhibition Hall 3 in Goyang-si, Gyeonggi-do under the theme of ‘Sustainable·Connected·Mobility (Sustainable·Connected·Mobility)’ and end on April 30th ( It will be held until Sunday. The total exhibition size is 4㎡, more than twice the size of the previous event (9㎡), and over 53,541 companies and organizations from 26,310 countries around the world will participate and showcase various mobility contents.
