Bees dedicate their lives to helping the queen lay eggs, which can be explained by the kin selection hypothesis. The kin selection hypothesis states that an individual’s reproductive success should not only be considered, but also the reproductive success of its relatives with whom it shares genes. However, this hypothesis does not explain altruistic behavior in all animals, and there are...

  The P-NP problem is one of the most challenging problems in mathematics, asking whether there is a fast way to find the correct answer to a given problem. If solved, it could revolutionize the way we solve optimization problems in industries as diverse as aircraft scheduling and semiconductor design. A thief enters a jewelry store, looks around, and for a brief moment ponders. “I...

This article explains the need for the Third Industrial Revolution and its key elements to solve the economic crisis and environmental problems caused by the use of fossil fuels. It suggests ways to build an alternative energy system based on the natural limitations and technological advantages Korea faces and cooperate with other countries to achieve sustainable development.   It is often...

  Richard Dawkins’ theory of kin selection explains the altruistic behavior of individuals based on the selfishness of their genes, but it has limitations in explaining altruistic behavior that is not related to kinship, such as adoption, imprinting, and moral behavior. Environmental determinism and group selection theory can be proposed as complements.   Introduction Richard...

BioMEMS technology is the miniaturization of mechanical devices and their combination with biotechnology, enabling a variety of innovative applications such as enabling paraplegics to control computers and restoring sight to the blind. My goal is to use this technological advancement to dramatically improve the lives of people with disabilities, fulfill social responsibility, and create a new...

In The Case against Perfection, Professor Michael Sandel discusses the issue of genetically designing children and approaches it from two perspectives: “manipulating the framework of the world” and “seeing the world as it is.” He warns that designing children can lead to parental arrogance and cause social and ethical problems. On the other hand, some argue that genetic...

Genetic engineering is the science of altering traits by manipulating the genetic makeup or genotype. Positive and negative genetic engineering exists, and the commercialization of positive genetic engineering can have side effects similar to those of eugenics in the past. Legal and ethical regulations are needed to prevent this.   Genetic engineering, as we often hear it, is a difficult...

Climate warming refers to the global increase in the temperature of the oceans and near-surface air, which is causing ecosystem destruction, increased natural disasters, and water shortages. To prevent global warming, we need both technological solutions, such as developing renewable energy and using electric vehicles, and national solutions, such as signing international agreements.   News...

Advances in artificial intelligence have the potential to blur the lines between man and machine and become an absolute force for solving humanity’s problems, but they also present risks. Strong AI has the potential to help humanity, but it can also pose unexpected threats to humanity along the way.   Why are we developing AI? “Deus ex machina” is a staging technique used...

The Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering teaches students skills in a variety of fields, including mechanical design, aeronautics, and robotics, and allows them to gain practical experience through experiments and design projects to develop their creativity and problem-solving skills. This allows students to pursue a variety of career paths after graduation, including working in...
