Problem

When local private universities merge or create departments amid enrollment reductions, curriculum design takes 3-5 professors over 6 months or more. Designing curricula disconnected from industry demand leads to lower employment rates, creating a vicious cycle of repeated disadvantages in Ministry of Education evaluations. Especially when creating interdisciplinary departments like AI and data science, the lack of expertise among existing faculty results in low curriculum quality.

Solution

Based on industry demand data (job posting keyword analysis, NCS job competency maps) and benchmarking of similar departments at other universities, automatically generates a draft semester-by-semester curriculum (required/elective courses, credit allocation, practical training weight) when department goals are entered. Includes optimization of faculty expertise and course matching.

Target: Academic affairs offices and department creation task forces at local private universities (enrollment 3,000-10,000 students, approximately 100 institutions nationwide)
Revenue Model: Project-based: 5 million KRW per project (approx. $3,750) (curriculum design for one department). SaaS annual subscription: 2.4 million KRW per university (approx. $1,800) (benchmark data + course database access).
