The Department of Industrial Design at Kookmin University (President Jeong Seung Ryul), College of Art and Design, will hold its 2026 Spring Semester Achievement Exhibition for five days, from June 18 to 22, on the third floor of the Art and Design Building.
This exhibition serves as an opportunity to showcase how the Department of Industrial Design’s educational achievements align with the direction of “KMU VISION 2035: EDGE,” which Kookmin University announced in celebration of its 80th anniversary. “KMU VISION 2035: EDGE” is the university’s mid- to long-term vision aimed at fostering interdisciplinary talent required by future society—based on creativity and a spirit of challenge—and strengthening the university’s specialized capabilities.
As a core department within the “Design & Content” field—one of Kookmin University’s eight areas of specialization—the Department of Industrial Design has been implementing design-based creative and interdisciplinary education. All students except for seniors preparing for the second-semester graduation exhibition will participate in this event, and a total of 504 works produced in 16 different courses will be on display.

Under the theme “175 Designers x 2,592 Hours,” this exhibition showcases the results of the deliberations and experiments conducted by 175 students over the course of a semester. Through their works, the students illustrated the entire process of industrial design education—from brainstorming ideas to production and the realization of their final products.
The exhibition goes beyond simply showcasing individual student projects; it is designed as a space to share the learning and growth accumulated through the department’s curriculum. By examining each other’s work, students will assess their professional competencies and explore directions for further development leading into next semester’s projects and the graduation exhibition.
Professor Nam Wonsuk of the Department of Industrial Design stated, “This exhibition showcases the thought processes and results the students have accumulated over the course of a semester,” adding, “In particular, I hope it will serve as an opportunity for students to gain hands-on experience with courses across all academic years in advance, enabling them to design their own learning plans and career paths.”
