On March 19, Jo Min-jae left for Silicon Valley in California, USA, the global mecca of start-ups. As one of the eight students selected from universities all over Korea to participate in the internship program, he will do an internship at Physiocue, a healthcare start-up in its fourth year, for six months until the end of August. This internship program will allow him to receive about 18 credits for mandatory major courses, which represent the credits for one semester. He does not need to delay his graduation for the internship, and may be offered a permanent position if he completes the internship with outstanding success.

The ITM major previously sent a student to the First Stage of the Global ICT Credit-Exchange Program Internship in 2016. Park, Il-gwon was selected for the first stage, and was hired by Pulzze Systems permanently after completing his internship in the company.
