SUNY Korea student Hasung Jun (CSE/TSM) released an iPhone app which helps SUNY Korea students manage their course schedule, find a directory, check the academic calendar and locate important contacts.
As a SUNY Korea student, Hasung found there is a need for an application to replace the existing scheduling app, which targets university students in Korea, and in which all the scheduling is done manually.
To turn this ‘need’ into reality, the courses he took in the CSE department helped him in certain ways to build the application. The HCI (Human Computer Interaction) course especially played a role to deliver good UI/UX to students. Professor Alex Kuhn, who taught the HCI, also helped Hasung in various ways: helping to meet Apple’s requirements for application release and giving plenty of feedback.
Prof. Kuhn said, “Hasung approached me with his idea of making the SUNI app for other students. I thought it was a great idea and always love to encourage and support our students in taking on side projects like this. Hasung has done a great job in building upon the concepts he learned in school and applying his knowledge to build and release this app, and I’m proud of what he has accomplished.”
Since it is his first published application, it has captured all of his affection. “I plan to keep updating the app based on the feedback I got from students. I hope SUNI could help make SUNY Korea students’ life a little better”, Hasung said.
The application is available in the AppStore. An Android version, which he is currently working on with other CS students, is planned to be released soon.
