Department of Mobility Systems

Vision

The School of Integrated Technology within the College of Computing at Yonsei University was originally established in March 2011 as the Global Integrated Engineering Division under the College of Engineering. Its mission is to cultivate interdisciplinary leaders in advanced technological fields who can contribute to the sustainable development of humanity in the era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Through the horizontal integration of advanced technological domains—such as information technology, electronics, computer engineering, and nanotechnology—and the vertical integration with the humanities, social sciences, arts, and design, the school has nurtured globally minded leaders with a strong interdisciplinary perspective.

In accordance with the Ministry of Education’s policy to expand enrollment in advanced technology fields, the Department of Mobility Systems was newly established in 2026 under the School of Integrated Technology. Together with the existing Department of Integrated Information Technology and Department of Intelligent Semiconductor Technology, it forms an interdisciplinary education system focused on emerging high-tech industries. The Department of Mobility Systems focuses on education and research in future mobility technologies, including autonomous driving, connected vehicles, next-generation automobiles, aerospace systems, and robotics technologies. Its goal is to cultivate experts in next-generation mobility technologies that integrate mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, computer engineering, and artificial intelligence.

Located at Yonsei University’s International Campus in Songdo, Incheon, the School of Integrated Technology offers a highly globalized educational environment. With its proximity to Incheon International Airport, the campus provides excellent opportunities for international education and research collaboration. Currently, more than 2,500 students from 66 countries study in this diverse academic environment. In particular, Yonsei Science Park (YSP) is building an innovation ecosystem through collaboration among industry, academia, research institutes, hospitals, and government. At the center of this ecosystem is Korea’s first IBM Quantum Computing Center, featuring a hybrid CPU–GPU–QPU integrated system, which enables a virtuous cycle of education, research, and innovation. Along with these innovative infrastructures, the School of Integrated Technology offers an accelerated academic program (3 years of undergraduate study + 4 years of combined master’s and doctoral studies) designed to cultivate future mobility leaders with strong research capabilities and practical expertise.
