By producing award winners across both the Capstone Design and Student Portfolio categories, the competition once again N

Ewha Womans University Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (ROTC), led by Lieutenant Colonel Kwak Seong Hui, successfully completed the 2026 Summer Commissioned Officer Training held over two months from July to August at the Korea Army Cadet Military School in Goesan, Chungcheongbuk-do. Among 108 ROTC units nationwide, Ewha ROTC was selected as an “Outstanding ROTC Unit” and received a commendation from the Commandant of the Korea Army Cadet Military School. With this achievement, Ewha ROTC has been selected as an “Outstanding ROTC Unit in Commissioned Officer Training” for four consecutive years, reaffirming its reputation as a leading ROTC unit. This year was particularly meaningful as it marked both the 140th anniversary of Ewha’s founding and the 10th anniversary of the establishment of Ewha Womans University ROTC. The cadets’ passion and dedication resulted in an even more significant achievement. On Wednesday, August 13, during the training period, President Lee Hyang Sook and Vice President for Research and External Affairs Park Jeong Soo personally visited the Korea Army Cadet Military School to encourage the cadets undergoing intensive training in the midst of extreme heat and rain and delivered care packages. With the President’s encouragement and the university’s strong support, the cadets achieved a valuable accomplishment, carrying on the outstanding tradition of their predecessors. Lieutenant Colonel Kwak Seong Hui, Commanding Officer of Ewha ROTC, said, “I am proud of the cadets who achieved outstanding results without a single person falling behind, carrying the honor of Ewha in their hearts despite the extreme heat and arduous training. Receiving the Outstanding ROTC Unit in Commissioned Officer Training commendation for four consecutive years in this historic year, marking the 140th anniversary of the university’s founding and the 10th anniversary of the establishment of ROTC, is the result of the cadets’ unwavering passion and efforts, along with the support of the entire Ewha community.” Established in 2016 and celebrating its 10th anniversary this year, Ewha’s 225th ROTC unit has produced outstanding officers every year since the first cadets of the 57th ROTC class were commissioned in 2019. Through military studies education on campus and commissioned officer training, the unit fosters global leaders equipped with intellectual ability, character, and military expertise. Despite its relatively short history, Ewha ROTC has established its competitiveness among 108 university ROTC units nationwide, having received numerous commendations for outstanding performance during commissioned officer training and been selected as an outstanding ROTC unit in evaluations by the Ministry of National Defense and in ROTC competency assessments. Building on the results of this training, Ewha ROTC will continue its on-campus education and autonomous activities during the second semester and remain committed to cultivating elite officers who contribute to the military and society based on the spirit of Ewha. In addition, with the start of the second semester, Ewha ROTC is recruiting new cadets in the latter half of the year from among first- and second-year students (including third-year students in five-year programs).

The awards ceremony will be held at the 2026 Industry-University Cooperation EXPO at Exhibition Hall 2 of KINTEX in Ilsan on Thursday, October 1. The “An-neujeotjo” (We’re not late) team, consisting of Kim Tae Hee, Jeong Ha Rin, Jang Ju Won, and Jeong Jin A of the Department of Architectural and Urban Systems Engineering, received the Minister of Education Award in the Capstone Design Category. The “Da-aljo” (We know everything) team, consisting of Yoo Chae Yeon, Lee Ga Eun, and Jo Ha Yun, received the President of ABEEK Award. The “An-neujeotjo” team, which received the Minister of Education Award, developed “MA-JUNG: A Smart Shelter Based on User Arrival Time.” Focusing on the public transportation environment in rural and fishing communities, including long intervals between buses and a high proportion of elderly passengers, the team proposed an automatic smart shelter control system that activates heating and cooling in advance based on when users are expected to arrive at the bus stop. The system was designed to calculate users’ estimated arrival times using GPS and bus operation information and to predict the amount of time needed to pre-activate heating and cooling based on indoor and outdoor temperatures and weather information. The system is expected to improve users’ comfort while waiting and potentially reduce heating and cooling energy consumption by approximately 67% compared to continuous operation. The “An-neujeojo” team will participate in the Capstone Design Project Session at the COET International Conference 2026, to be held in Bangkok, Thailand, on Friday, September 18, where they will share the results of their project. The “Da-aljo” team, which received the President of ABEEK Award, presented “A Situation-Adaptive Safety System for Pedestrians Using Smartphones Based on Integrated Digital Phenotyping, GIS, and Signal Information.” Focusing on the problem of pedestrians being unable to recognize surrounding hazards while using smartphones, the team developed a system that classifies pedestrian behavior using smartphone sensors, integrates GIS-based crosswalk information with V2X pedestrian signal information, and selectively provides safety alerts depending on the level of risk. In the Student Portfolio Category, Kim Rae Hee, Kim Seo Ro, and Yoo Chae Yeon received the Outstanding Portfolio Award. The students were recognized for excellence in systematically documenting their learning outcomes and engineering competencies accumulated through their major curriculum and various extracurricular activities in their portfolios. By producing award winners across both the Capstone Design and Student Portfolio categories, the competition once again demonstrated the strong academic and professional competencies and outstanding achievements of Ewha students cultivated through engineering education.

Ewha Law School Student Team Wins Speaker of the National Assembly Award at the 12th Yellow Envelope Act Moot Court Comp N

Lee Ji Hyun, Choi Yun Min, and Kim Su Hyang, members of the 18th class of Ewha Law School, under the guidance of Professor Park Gwi Cheon, received the Speaker of the National Assembly Award, the highest honor at the 12th Yellow Envelope Act Moot Court Competition. “The Yellow Envelope Act Moot Court Competition”, the only labor law moot court competition in Korea, was established to increase aspiring legal professionals’ interest in and expertise in labor law. This year, a record-high 96 students from law schools across the country participated, forming a total of 32 teams and engaging in fierce competition in the preliminary round. Following a written evaluation, eight teams advanced to the final round. At the final round, held at Gwangbokgwan at Yonsei University on Saturday, August 22, each team presented arguments representing both the plaintiff and defendant. This year’s competition was particularly significant as it was the first moot court competition to address relevant legal principles in depth following the implementation of the revised Trade Union and Labor Relations Adjustment Act, commonly known as the “Yellow Envelope Act.” With relevant precedents yet to accumulate, aspiring legal professionals directly interpreted newly emerging labor law issues and developed legal arguments based on the intent behind the amended law. Lee Ji Hyun, Choi Yun Min, and Kim Su Hyang of Ewha Law School received the highest honor, the Speaker of the National Assembly Award, in recognition of their thorough analysis of new legal issues, logical written arguments, and persuasive oral advocacy. In the final round, the Ewha team argued that the revised Trade Union Act should be interpreted in a way that substantively guarantees the three fundamental labor rights of subcontracted workers in principal contractor–subcontractor relationships, based on the intent of the amended law. They also argued that, even in industrial settings where hazardous materials are handled or continuous processes are carried out, workplace safety, facility protection, and workers’ right to collective action should be balanced. In addition, through the issue of replacement operations using physical AI robots, the team presented a legal interpretation of how existing labor law should be applied to changes in the labor environment resulting from technological advances. Lee Ji Hyun mentioned, “It was meaningful to have the opportunity to examine current issues such as bargaining between subcontractors and principal contractors and changes in labor brought about by AI robots. In particular, as this was the first year since the revised labor law came into effect, it was also very meaningful to have the opportunity to thoroughly consider the intent behind the amendments to the Yellow Envelope Act.” She added, “I will continue studying labor law with gratitude, keeping in mind what I learned from this competition throughout my time at law school.” This award demonstrates the strong practical legal capabilities of Ewha Law School students in analyzing new legal issues and seeking solutions amid rapidly changing industrial and labor environments.
