This summer 11 students from INSA Strasbourg participated in the  exchange program with the Korea Polytechnic University (KPU). During three months we discovered a country with a unique culture and way ahead of its time. We began this stay with cultural discoveries. Language courses, visits of traditional temples in Seoul and of an automotive production plant. Between tradition and modernity, Korea has found the right compromise. Thanks to the perfect organization of KPU we have benefited from an unforgettable stay.

After these two weeks we completed laboratory internships. The subjects were varied and related to many different engineer fields. Computer sciences, electronics, design, biomechanics; each of us has found a project in accordance with his or her course program at INSA Strasbourg. It was a great opportunity to share the same passion and learn a new way of innovating with different people.

We are pleased to welcome 7 Korean students for their semester at our school and we would like to thank KPU for this incredible stay.
