Jang Chang-hyun, chairman of Hanmaek Heavy Industries and alumnus of Yonsei University, donated 1 billion Korean won to the university's Department of Materials Science and Engineering. This donation, unusual for its lump-sum nature, reflects Jang's commitment to supporting future engineers in South Korea.

Jang, inspired by Professor Yang Hoon-young's teachings during his studies, emphasized the importance of materials in advanced industries such as semiconductors and defense. The donation will fund the expansion of educational and research facilities, including a new engineering building and a development fund, combining contributions from faculty, alumni, and Jang himself. Yonsei University President Yoon Dong-seop highlighted the donation as a significant step in passing on the institution's educational values.
