2004 U.S.–KOREA CONFERENCE ON SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP

The UKC2004, one of the most important annual events of the KSEA, was held as follows:

Time: August 12-14, 2004 Place: Sheraton Imperial Hotel & Convention Center, Research Triangle Park, North Carolina

The UKC2004 was a tremendous success. The number of people registered was 315. Attendance in all forums and technical sessions were excellent. The list of speakers included many distinguished individuals. Plenary session speakers were two members of Korean National Assembly (Dr. Chang Sun Hong and Dr. Sang Kee Suh) and two distinguished scholars (Prof. Shin-Yong Moon, SNU and Prof. Charles Lieber, Harvard University). Dr. Si-Joong Kim, KOFST President, delivered a special presentation on the present and future of science and technology in Korea. In addition to forums and technical symposiums, the UKC 2004 included the KSEA Awards ceremony, a music program and a special time in memory of late Dr. Hyung-Sup Choi.

KSEA Letters, Vol. 33, No. 1 (December 2004) 7 WELCOME TO THE UKC 2004

Dear Friends, colleagues in science and engineering, distinguished guests, and ladies and gentlemen from Korea and the U.S., it is indeed my pleasure and privilege to welcome you to the 2004 US-Korea Conference on Science, Technology and Entrepreneurship (UKC2004). The US-Korea Conference jointly organized by the Korean-American Scientists and Engineers Association (KSEA) and the Korean Federation of Science and Technology Societies (KOFST), with the help of Korea-US Science Cooperation Center (KUSCO), is one of the most important annual activities of the KSEA, along with the annual National Mathematics Competition (NMC). Accordingly, a great deal of financial and human resources had to be mobilized in preparation for this conference, and I am happy to report that the KSEA has been blessed with the help from many individuals, companies and organizations.

I would like to express my deep appreciation to the industrial companies and organizations that have most generously provided the KSEA with the funds needed to support the UKC2004. The list of these companies and organizations is included in the UKC2004 Program book. I am grateful to many individuals who helped my fund raising campaigns. Also, I would like to note that the KUSCO has consistently provided substantial amount of funding for the UKC and other activities of the KSEA every year, reflecting the excellent relationship between the two organizations.

I would like to thank and applaud the people who organized the symposiums and forums for the UKC2004. They had to work under the constraints of limited time and funds. Still, they produced excellent programs for the UKC2004. KSEA Executive Committee members and HQ staff performed superbly under tremendous pressure in preparation of the UKC2004.

My special thanks go to the North Carolina Chapter. They had the vision and courage to propose to hold the UKC2004 on their own home turf and, once their proposal was approved, they worked very diligently to provide excellent logistical support for the success of the UKC2004.

The UKC2004 is a manifestation of the volunteer spirit that holds the KSEA together as a viable organization. I am glad that the KSEA has many extraordinary individuals with good heart among its members. If you are not a KSEA member, I would like to invite you to join and get involved with KSEA activities. Thank you very much.

Sung W. Lee President, KSEA

8 KSEA Letters, Vol. 33, No. 1 (December 2004) WELCOME

President Sung Won Lee, distinguished guests, members of the KSEA, ladies and gentlemen; it is my distinct pleasure to join President Lee in welcoming you to the UKC2004. Looking over the program, I am certain you will enjoy the conference and it will be enriched by your participation.

I represent the Korea-US Science Cooperation Center (KUSCO), a not-for-profit corporation established in Virginia with a mission to promote scientific cooperation between Korea and the United States. From its inception, the KUSCO has enjoyed a collaborative relationship with the KSEA. This relationship has been nurtured by our common aspiration to advance not only the Korea-US scientific collaboration but to help expand scientific knowledge in general. Our cooperative relationship is stronger than ever – you may take notice of the fact that two people having the same name, Sung Lee, represent our two organizations in this conference!

We may ask what the most pressing issue is in science and engineering that is common to both Korea and the US. I submit it is the growing trend among young people to move away from the disciplines of science and engineering. Applications for admission to science, engineering and computer science have been in steady decline even in many top-rated universities both in Korea and the United States. No doubt, there are many reasons for this trend. But I must wonder whether or not this is a direct consequence of our educational system, which has been increasingly emphasizing career development instead of the reward of discovery. In an age when instance gratification is taken as virtue, a long and arduous career path in science and engineering is not a very welcome choice. I believe it essential this trend be reversed.

The KSEA and the KUSCO are working together in a number of areas to promote science and engineering. The direct support of this conference by the KUSCO is one such example. The KUSCO provides funding support to scholarships, conferences, symposia and other scientific activities proposed by various organizations. Two members from the KSEA are on the KUSCO Board of Directors and they help guide the evaluation and selection of proposals for funding. In coming October, there will be a policy forum in Korea jointly sponsored by the National Science Foundation and the Korea Science and Engineering Foundation. The purpose of the forum is to brainstorm effective means of invigorating scientific collaboration between Korea and the United States. Professor Sung Won Lee will represent the KSEA in the forum. Professor Lloyd Griffiths of George Mason University, another KUSCO Board member, and myself, will represent the KUSCO. It is my hope this type of collaborative effort between KSEA and KUSCO will increase with time towards providing more opportunities for science and engineering, especially among younger generations.

I wish to congratulate Professor Sung Won Lee and his colleagues for preparing once again a very successful UKC. Please enjoy the conference.
