On Friday, December 5th, the lobby on the first floor of Oryong Hall was abuzz with the intense academic fervor of students. The School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS) successfully hosted "2025 EECS DAY," an event designed to share undergraduate research achievements and foster unity among its members.
This event also served as the bachelor's degree thesis evaluation for prospective graduates in their senior year. A total of 59 undergraduate students participated in the poster session, which began at 10:00 AM, presenting research results they had honed over the past year. In addition, outstanding research from graduate students was displayed, creating a meaningful opportunity for academic exchange between undergraduate and graduate students. Notably, the event drew attention for its relaxed atmosphere; moving away from the rigid environment typical of evaluations, attendees enjoyed coffee and refreshments while freely networking.
We interviewed Lee Jae-hee (senior), who presented a poster on the topic of "Semi-Supervised Federated Reinforcement Learning."
"I prepared my thesis through one-on-one meetings with Professor Kim Kyung-joong without going through a lab internship," Lee stated. "Although the poster presentation was new and unfamiliar to me, I felt a great sense of accomplishment in explaining my research results to others." She added advice for underclassmen: "The sooner you start preparing your thesis, the better. I recommend meeting with your advisor early on to develop your ideas."
EECS DAY was a forum for learning, open not only to seniors approaching graduation but also to lower-level students. Current students had the opportunity to observe the thesis evaluation process of their seniors, allowing them to visualize and plan for their own future thesis preparations.
The event concluded around 2:00 PM, following an awards ceremony and a luncheon buffet. Successfully wrapping up the year 2025 for the School of EECS, "EECS DAY" served as a venue to harvest the fruits of the past four years of hard work. We sincerely support the bright future of our graduates as they embark on their next chapters, starting with these research presentations.
