Hanyang University Empowers Students with Multidisciplinary Capabilities by Accelerating Development and Providing Practical Training with Oracle PaaS

Hanyang University is a research university in South Korea. Operating with the mottos, “Love in Deed” and “Application of Knowledge”, the university aims to provide students with all the necessary resources to pursue innovation and maintain the highest standards of excellence.  

To support its goal to provide students with multidisciplinary skills, the School of Business expanded its admission to science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) students. Hangyang University needed an enterprise-grade mobile application development platform to enable STEM and arts students to quickly grow software development skills and enhance their competitive edge.
 
 
Challenges
  • Simplify learning and practicing software development skills for non-technical students by launching a mobile platform to design and build APIs in JavaScript without specialized knowledge in programming language
  • Enable the School of Business to raise more talent with information and communication technology (ICT) capabilities by providing timely feedback to students and reducing time to introduce new courses and educational programs
Results
  • Improved the speed to launch two new software development training courses by allowing the School of Business to rapidly define and implement new services with the intuitive development tools of Oracle Mobile Cloud Service
  • Enhanced students’ multidisciplinary capabilities by empowering both STEM and non-technical students to easily create and deploy mobile applications and gain hands-on experience, thanks to Oracle Mobile Application Accelerator
  • Enabled non-technical students to focus on learning software design and development instead of spending time configuring and installing APIs, such as push notification and data synchronization, with the prebuilt environment of Oracle Mobile Cloud Service
  • Assisted the School of Business to easily expand future training courses and develop more ICT talent by deploying the mobile back ends for multiple applications in a single entity and allowing the faculty to provide faster feedback to students and accelerate application development
