II. Guidelines for Strengthening Research Capabilities of Undergraduate Students
1. Students must take one or more research programs among Individual Research, Undergraduate Research Program (URP),
and Human Resource Program for Nuclear Engineering Students funded by the government before enrolling
in graduation research including internship course.
2. In general, the graduation research should be applied in the last graduate semester, but with exception of the cases,
when applying the URP or internship for the substitution of graduation research.
3. When students would like to substitute the internship courses over 9 weeks as graduation research, the graduation research
evaluation committee is constituted with total 3 committee members including his/her academic advisor.
The evaluation process is performed after the end of the internship, and the internship report
in the original, signed or stamped by the academic advisor must be delivered to the department office,
when the internship course is evaluated as the graduation research with quality and satisfaction.
