KSTLC 2012 SESSIONS AND WORKSHOPS CAREER DEVELOPMENT WORKSHOP [Session Chairs: JaiKyoung Jung, Wendy Shin, Chloe Sonya Kim, Chulwoo Park] Post-Doc; Virginia Tech, Software Product Manager; Caltech, Undergraduate Student; Northwestern University, Undergraduate Student; University of Utah I) Industry- Seung-Woo Choi, RCA Leader, GE Energy; Young Seok Lee, Research Scientist, Motorola; Chul Young Park, Lead Engineer, Boeing; Paul Park, Engineering Supervisor, Caterpilla Inc.; Sung Kwan Pyun, Lead Systems Engineer, GE Health Care - Surgery The panels briefly gave self-introductions, which were followed by answers to questions chosen from a survey conducted prior to the conference. Dr. Paul Park, helped distinguish the field of industry from academia and emphasized “creativity” and inspired participants with a quote, “Success is a combination of integrity and confidence”. Then, Dr. CY Park explained the two different tracks of industry, management and research fellow tracks, and provided tips on interviewing skills. He encouraged students to follow their passion. Dr. YS Lee described the team structure of his company and the hiring process. Dr. SW Choi gave talk on communication and presentation skills. Lastly, Mr. SK Pyun led a discussion on the visa support issues, which grasped the attention from the 1 st generation. II) Academia- Ken Choi, Assistant Professor of ECE, IIT; Youngjae Chun, Assistant Professor of IE and BE, U. of Pittsburgh; Hyunwoo Lee, Research Assistant Professor of Biology, U. of Illinois-Chicago; Yong Ho Sohn, Professor of MM and AE, U. of Central Florida The first panelist, Dr. Choi presented a brief overview on differences between industry and academia. He mentioned different research styles at industry, which helped him decide to devote his work to practical studies after he started his career as a professor. Then Dr. Chun shared his hardships of becoming a professor as a 1 st generation student in US. His life experience touched a lot of 1 st generation participant’s hearts. He also encouraged students to branch out the research topics while continuing the work that previous professor has achieved. Dr. Lee emphasized the importance of professional writing and grant proposal. He advised participants to not be afraid of the critics, but rather be open to the feedbacks. Lastly, Dr. Sohn gave tips on the grant proposal and the ethics future professors should pursue. He pointed out the significance of the relationship with senior professors and fund providers. III) National Research Lab- Seungbum Hong, Materials Scientist, Young Soo Park, Engineering Staff, Argonne National Lab With about 10 participants, we had a small group which actually allowed for a smooth, comfortable discussion session. The setting of the room was changed so that everyone would sit facing each other, instead of separating the panelists and the participants. It started with simple introduction for each panelist, followed by Dr. Park’s short powerpoint presentation about his research. Then it went straight into the question and answer portion of the discussion. With all participants very actively involved, many aspects of the career in the lab were covered, and a good number of the participants exchanged personal contact information with the panelists. IV) Medical and Pharmaceutics- Taeok Bae, Assistant Professor, Indiana University- School of Medicine; Hyunyoung Jeong, Assistant Professor of Pharmaceutics, U. of Illinois-Chicago A pre-survey was done to collect questions for the following criteria: entrance to the medical schools, M.D./Ph.D. program, research opportunities in health sciences, and panels’ backgrounds and experiences. Fortunately, we had current medical school students, which created a unique atmosphere for both participants and the panels to share their experiences freely. The admission process was the the most talked about since majority of participants were undergraduate students. The rest of topics were also covered based on the students’ voluntary questions which broadened their perspectives on careers in the health sciences field. Overall, this session was very successful in shaping future doctors, vets and pharmacists and encouraging them to interact and bond with the panels and other participants. 24 KSEA LETTERS Vol. 40 No. 3 April 2012
