A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT
Sung Won Lee
As I complete my term as the 33rd President of the
KSEA, I would like to express my deep appreciation
of many individuals, members and non-members
alike, who gave their valuable time and energy for
the good of the KSEA. Also, I would like to thank
the KUSCO and other organizations for their
generous monetary contributions.
The first major event of my term was the UKC2004
held in August 2004 in Research Triangle Park, NC.
I am grateful that the UKC2004 was a big success,
and I am also thrilled that the UKC2005, being
organized by my successor Prof. Kwang-Hae Kim,
is expected to be even a bigger success.
The next major event of my term was the Young
Generation Technical and Leadership Conference
(YGTLC2005) held January 2005 in San Francisco
with support from the KUSCO. The YGTLC2005
provided young generation Korea-Americans with
networking opportunities while sharing and
showcasing their achievements and potential. I
would like to thank Prof. David Hosin Lee, YG
Committee Chair, for organizing this important
event.
The National Mathematics Competition (NMC2005),
held on April 2, 2005, was also a big success. About
2,000 students from 20 chapters participated in the
competition. I would like to thank Vice President
Kang-Won Lee who was tasked to organize the
NMC2005, NMC Committee members, problem
writers, participating chapter presidents and
numerous people who volunteered to make the
NMC2005 a truly successful event for the KoreanAmerican community. The NMC2005 was also
instrumental in revitalizing local chapters which had
been dormant for many years. The Georgia Chapter
and the Philadelphia Chapter elected new officers
and participated in the NMC2005 for the first time in
the history of their chapters.
the funds from the estate of Dr. Je Hyun Kim and a
generous gift from their three sons. Also, we were
able to complete the establishment of the Shoon
Kyung Kim Scholarship, which was initiated in the
31st Administration.
I am happy to report that, in addition to the annual
KSEA Scholarships program, an entirely new
program, called the KUSCO Scholarships for
Graduate Students, was established, with the funds
generously provided by KUSCO. This program is to
recognize graduate students in science and
engineering who have demonstrated excellence in
academics as well as potential for becoming leaders
in the society. For the year 2005, 14 graduate
students were selected for the KUSCO Scholarships.
The financial situation of the KSEA has improved
during my term and the short term health of KSEA
finances is good. However, the KSEA needs to
develop a long term strategic plan for fund raising if
it is to develop into a viable volunteer organization
relevant to its members and the communities in the
US and Korea.
As I look back, I realize again that I have been
blessed with opportunities to meet and work with
many individuals of extraordinary talents and
volunteer spirits. Their kindness and willingness to
help others for the good of the KSEA has touched
my heart and helped me keep going even when I felt
tired and weary. For this, I thank the KSEA
members as well as the friends of KSEA, and I
encourage people to join and serve for the KSEA.
Sung Won Lee
KSEA 33rd President
As for scholarships programs, a new named
scholarship was established in memory of the late Dr.
Je Hyun Kim, the 8th President of KSEA, and his
wife Nam Sook Kim. The scholarship is based on

UKC 2005
The Korean-American Scientists and Engineers Association (KSEA, http://www.ksea.org/) and the Korean
Federation of Science and Technology Societies (KOFST) will hold, with the support from the Korea-US
Science Cooperation Center (KUSCO), the 2005 US-Korea Conference on Science, Technology and
Entrepreneurship (UKC2005) as follows:
When:
August 11-13, 2005
Where:
University of California, Irvine (UCI)
Irvine, California, USA.
Objective:
The objective of UKC2005 is to provide a forum in which leading researchers in selected science and
technology areas can present their research findings and discuss new R&D directions in areas that are relevant
to economic development of the world. All important branches of science, technology, and entrepreneurship
will be covered by the UKC2005 program.
UKC2005 will also contribute to fostering cooperation between USA and Korea in advancing science and
technology toward enhancing the welfare of both countries and the world. It will provide a forum where
scientists, engineers, entrepreneurs, educators, and other leaders discuss their achievements and current
interests, develop cooperative projects, and establish professional networks. In addition, UKC2005 provides
the attendees from both countries with an opportunity to explore career opportunities.
The spirit of the conference is: Let best talents in both countries gather in one place once per year!
Location:
UKC2005 will be held on the campus of the University of California, Irvine (UCI). The Orange County of
California, to which the city of Irvine belongs, is famous for its pleasant weather all year around (bright
sunshine, unnoticeable humidity, and relatively cool temperature in summer). The adjacent beach areas,
Laguna Beach and Newport Beach which are within 25-minute driving distances from the campus of UCI,
offer some of the world's best conditions for spending the summer vacation.
Irvine is the best exemplary modern city providing both very attractive living environments and high-tech
clean industry environments, often called the 2nd Silicon Valley. The UCI campus is easily accessible via the
Orange County Airport (also called the Santa Ana Airport) (2.5 miles), the Long Beach Airport (25 miles),
and the Los Angeles International Airport (45 miles).

Young Generation Forum 2004 in Korea
Seung-Ho Won
Castle Point on Hudson S – 1622, Hoboken, NJ 07030
This article addresses my experience attending Young Generation Forum during the summer of 2004 in Korea.
Introduction
Getting accepted to attend the YG Forum last winter,
made me excited and somewhat worried. I was
excited because this gave me a chance to go back to
my country that I had not visited for five years, and
associate with colleagues. I was so curious to see
how the country and the people have changed since
I was in Korea last time. On the other hand, I was
worried because I had never attended a conference
in my life before and did not know what I was going
to do in that forum, what I had to do nor what
people were going to expect from me. I expected
something similar to some of the boring workshops
that my father used to drag me all over the country,
when I was in Germany. However, it turned out to
be one of the most exciting moments of my life. I
met about 120 new people from around the world
including people from the United States, and made
new friends that I would not exchange for anything.
Lee, professor at the University of Iowa. I would
have never thought that there would be a Korean
professor in the States who was so intelligent and
who could make the lectures interesting and fun. He
was also very talented when he showed his dancing
skills at the farewell party.
Professor Ho-Sin Lee
YGF 2004
To sum up the Young Generation Forum one can
break it down into two parts: events that were held
in the hotel, and visiting industrial and historic sites.
First and foremost, honestly speaking, there were
some good and bad parts at the hotels we stayed in.
Capital Hotel in Itaewon, Seoul, was a very nice
place to stay in, but the commuting distance was
kind of far and the food quality wasn’t as good as
expected. Hilton Hotel in Gyeongju was luxurious
as would be expected from such a name and the
food was very good. Presentations by students,
lectures from professors, group discussions and
CEO/CTO dinner were held at the hotels.
One of the professors that we met was Dr. Ho-Sin
Top: USA, Japan Bottom: Australia, Germany
Country Representatives’ presentations gave me
good insight into what’s going on right now in the
latest technology in all the different fields. After the
presentations, we formed several groups to hold
discussions.

doing in the future and what they were looking for.
After the presentations by the CEOs, we had a
dinner with them.
How to make human network?
In the group meetings we had to put our heads
together and try to think and gather information we
have learned so far in our scholastic careers.
Subsequent presentations after the group discussions,
showed us that, with in the same subject, we could
think of lots of different things. Some groups had
similar thoughts as we did, others had totally
different perspectives, which showed that not all of
the people think the same way. Also, the subject,
“How to make human network?” demonstrated to us
clearly that knowing many people and establishing
human network will be one of the abilities we need
to develop and depend on in the future.
Students with CEOs
POSCO museum & Bulguksa
From the fourth day of the forum until the last day,
we went to visit industrial and historic sites. We
visited LG Chem / Research Park, Hyundai Motor
Company, POSCO, POSTECH, Pohang Accelerator
Laboratory, RIST, POSCO museum, Seokguramn
and Bulguksa.
Top: POSCO President and Hyundai President,

We met four major individuals from the big
industries of Korea. They were Mr. Chang-Oh Kang,
President of POSCO, Mr. Sang-Kwon Kim,
President of R&D Division, Hyundai Motor
Company & Kia Motors Corporation, Mr. YoonWoo Lee, Vice Chairman of SEC Global
Collaboration Officer / CEO of Samsung Advanced
Institute of Technology, and Dr. Hee-Gook Lee,
President of LG Electronics. They spoke about what
their companies were doing, what they would be

Germany, UK and Japan
The day before the last day, we had a farewell party
at Hilton Hotel. It started with country
representatives’ show. People showed dancing,
singing skills and some martial arts. The hotel
provided a speaker system and the lights that made
the hall look like a dance hall. Professor Lee offered
a prize of 100,000 won to anyone who could tell the
name of everyone present at the party.
KSEA Letters, Vol. 33, No. 2 (June 2005)
Kevin from Korea tried and he really could tell all
the names of not only the students who attended the
forum, but also the staff members who worked for
us. I thought it was amazing. Kevin was very
considerate. He used the prize money for the snacks
and beverages for our last farewell party.
Kevin
Farewell Song sung all together
After arriving at the Capital hotel back in Seoul,
everyone was sort of bummed and did not want to
say good bye to each other. It looked like the
journey of the Young Generation Forum was too
short for us. Especially for me, it was one of the
most memorable moments in my life.

Nam Sook and Je Hyun Kim Scholarship
The KSEA pleased to announce establishment of a
new scholarship in memory of the late Dr. Je Hyun
Kim, the 8th President of KSEA and his wife Nam
Sook Kim. The scholarship is based on the funds
from the estate of Dr. Je Hyun Kim and a generous
gift from their three sons.
Dr. Je Hyun Kim (1927-1998) was born in Korea.
He graduated from Seoul National University in
1953 with a B.S. degree in Chemistry. He taught
chemistry at Kyungpook National University before
coming to the U.S. for graduate study. He obtained a
M.S. degree in biochemistry from Oklahoma State
University in 1962 and a Ph.D. degree in
biochemistry from Texas A & M University in 1965.
After earning his doctoral degree, he did
postdoctoral work at UCLA School of Medicine.
Later he worked as a Senior Research Fellow at
Evanston Hospital and a Senior Research Fellow at
Wilson Lab. From 1971 to his retirement, he was
Section Chief of Radioimmunoassay, Mercy
Hospital and Medical Center. He also served as
Clinical Assistant Professor at the School of
14
Medicine, University of Illinois. He was very active
in KSEA serving as the first President of Midwest
Chapter and the 8th President of KSEA.
His wife, Nam Sook Kim (1933-1983), graduated
from Seoul National University in 1956 with a B.S.
degree in Biology. She taught biology at Hyosung
Women’s College in Daegu, Korea before coming to
the U.S. She provided her husband with the strong
support, guidance and encouragement while he was
serving as the first Midwest Chapter President and
then 8th President of KSEA. She was diagnosed of
pancreatic cancer in 1980. Her illness and battle with
cancer resulted in a spiritual awakening for the Kim
family. She passed away in 1983.
Dr. and Mrs. Je Hyun Kim are survived by three
sons and seven grandchildren. The first son, Dr. Ho

Natural Gas Demand in the USA - Why LNG & Gas Hydrate
Jaeyoung Lee, P.E.
Offshore Pipeline Consultant
JYL Pipeline Consultant, Inc., Houston, TX
Natural Gas Demand in USA
Natural gas demand was boosted by the 1980s’ oil
shock and has continued to grow. This growth is
due to the clear environmental advantage of natural
gas over other fossil fuels and its superior thermal
efficiency. Now, approximately 25% of energy
used in the United States is supplied by natural gas.
Texas alone uses more natural gas than the
combined countries of England and Japan [1].
LNG is commonly confused
with another form of natural
gas,
LPG
(Liquefied
Petroleum Gas). LPG is a
mixture of mostly propane and butane in a liquid
form at room temperature under a moderate pressure
of 200 psi. (In European countries and possibly in
Korea, propane content in LPG is less than 50%, so
LPG can not be called a “liquefied propane gas”.)
Natural gas is used by the industry (40%),
residential (22%, for heating, cooling, and cooking),
business sector (15%), and electricity generation
plant (14%). It is also used as a raw material to
make paint, plastics, fertilizer, steel, fabrics, glass,
etc.
Unlike LPG, LNG is a natural gas that has been
cooled to the point that it condenses to a liquid
(called liquefaction), which occurs at -256oF (161oC) and at atmospheric pressure. It should be
noted that the gas mixture is not condensed by
pressurization. Liquefaction reduces the volume by
600 times, thus making it more economical to
transport. A specially designed LNG vessel is used
to deliver the LNG between the export and import
terminals.
The shipped LNG has to be converted to gas (called
regasification) before sending it to the final
destination through the natural gas pipeline.
Natural gas demand will grow by more than 38% by
2025 [2]. One projection suggests that the United
States could face a gap in natural gas supply of
approximately 5 trillion cubic feet (tcf=1012cubic
feet) in 2020 [3]. This means that approximately
41.7 million US homes will not receive natural gas
since the average home in Houston uses about
120,000 cubic feet of natural gas per year.
To fill the gap between the natural gas demand and
supply, the investment on LNG (Liquefied Natural
gas) value chain and research on gas hydrates are
recommended.
The LNG value chain can be divided into 4
categories:
• Exploration/Production (25%)
• Liquefaction (35%)
• Shipping (25%)
• Regasfication/Storage (15%)
LNG
LNG is simply a liquid form of natural gas,
primarily methane (CH4). Typical LNG consists of
95% methane and 5% ethane, propane, butane, and
nitrogen, while natural gas contains 82% of methane.
LNG is a clear, odorless, non-corrosive and nontoxic “cryogenic” (meaning low temperature below
-100oF) liquid. When natural gas is supplied to the
final users, a special chemical, mercaptan, is added
to give the natural gas its distinctive, unpleasant
smell so that a leak can be detected.
The percentage in the bracket represents the
breakdown of the overall LNG cost. LNG is cheaper
than transporting natural gas in offshore pipelines
for distances of more than 700 miles or in onshore
pipelines for distances greater than 2,200 miles. If
natural gas needs to be imported across the oceans,
LNG is the only solution. Most of modern LNG
ships can carry 1 million barrels of liquid or 3
billion cubic feet (bcf) of gas. This amount is
equivalent to the single-day gas needs of 9.1 million
Houston homes.
16
KSEA Letters, Vol. 33, No. 2 (June 2005)
Most of the LNG imported to the US comes from
Oman, Libya, and Australia. The United States is
the 4th largest LNG importing country in the world.
Table 1 shows the top 5 countries involved in LNG
trade [4].
Future of LNG
Gas production in the United States has leveled off
and is expected to decline in the coming years.
Approximately 15% of natural gas used in the USA
is imported from Canada. However, the supply
piped in from Canada will be reduced due to the
increase in Canada’s domestic demand and declined
gas production. To meet the future natural gas
demand in the USA, two solutions are suggested;
Increase LNG import and develop a new energy
source such as gas hydrate.
Imported LNG currently accounts for only 1-2% of
the total US gas consumption. Experts predict it
could expand its market share to 10% by 2020. It is,
however, very hard and competitive to acquire
reliable and long-term LNG providers due to
politics and increasing gas demand worldwide. To
receive an increased LNG import, a sufficient
number of import terminals should be built.
Worldwide, there are 17 LNG export terminals, 40
import terminals, and more than 140 LNG ships.
Qatar plans to build 44 new LNG ships by 2020.
All ships will be built by three big shipbuilders in
Korea. There are about 200 “peakshaving” (gas
saving storage for peak demand) and LNG storages
across the globe. However, there are only 4 LNG
import terminals in the USA, mostly with a send-out
capacity of 1.0-1.2 bcfd (billion cubic feet per day).
As a reference, Korea has the second largest import
terminal (capacity of 3.0 bcfd) in the world,
followed by Japan (capacity of 3.7 bcfd).
Fortunately, since last year, three dozen terminals
have been approved or proposed in the USA [2].
The first offshore LNG terminal, called Energy
Bridge Deepwater Port, is in-service 116 miles off
from Louisiana coast since March 2005. The
world’s first LNG-RV (regasification vessel) called
Excelsior will be moored in this offshore terminal
and the regasified natural gas from the ship will be
transported through the offshore gas pipeline to the
onshore facility. The Excelsior, built by DSME in
Korea, has a storage capacity of 3.0 bcf and
offloading capacity of 0.5 bcfd. Seven vessels of
this size can supply enough LNG required by Korea
per year. The offshore LNG terminal is considered
as an attractive option in terms of safety from terror
attacks.
Gas (Methane) Hydrate
Gas (Methane) hydrates are semi-solids which lock
up methane gas under suitable temperature and
pressure in an ice-like lattice of water molecules.
They are present virtually everywhere but especially
under deep ocean and permafrost (offshore Arctic)
in vast quantities. They are considered as a nextgeneration energy source because they do not create
carbon dioxide and are more plentiful than natural
gas. Experts predict that the gas hydrate has an
energy potential more than twice that of all other
fossil fuels combined.
Methane hydrate was discovered only a few decades
ago, and little research has been done until now.
Technology that is able to pull out the gas
inexpensively and safely does not exist. Because
methane is a greenhouse gas, release of even a small
percentage of total deposits could have a serious
effect on earth’s atmosphere and global warming.
During drilling operations, the freed gas may
explode and result in a loss of control of the well.
On a larger scale, the unstable offshore hydrate
layers could cause a tsunami.
The United States approved a $47.5 million
investment over five years towards methane
hydrates. Korea unveiled a plan to invest 45 billion
Won in the next 10 years to conduct a compressive
study on Dokdo, which possibly has large deposits
of gas hydrates able to relieve Korea of the need to
import LNG for the next 30 years [5]. This is one
reason why Japan is claiming that the Dokdo is their
island.
Conclusions
Natural gas demand in the USA has continued to
grow after the 1980s’ oil shock. At present, the
USA relies on natural gas by approximately 25% of
energy consumption and this number will grow to
38% by 2025. To fill the gap between the natural
gas demand and supply, the investment on LNG
value chain and research on gas hydrates are
recommended.
LNG is cheaper than transporting natural gas in
KSEA Letters, Vol. 33, No. 2 (June 2005)

offshore pipelines for distances of more than 700
miles or in onshore pipelines for distances greater
than 2,200 miles. If natural gas needs to be
imported across the oceans, LNG is the only
solution. To receive an increased LNG import, a
sufficient number of import terminals should be
built. Currently, there are only 4 LNG import
terminals in the USA. Fortunately, since last year,
three dozen terminals have been approved or
proposed in USA.
Gas (Methane) hydrate is an ice-like semi-solid
formation of water and methane and can be found
virtually everywhere but especially under deep
ocean and permafrost (offshore Arctic) in vast
quantities. They are considered as a next-generation
energy source because they do not create carbon
dioxide and are more plentiful than natural gas.
However, no one knows how to pull out the gas
inexpensively and safely. Continuous research and
development on gas hydrates will relieve the USA
from the dependence on foreign gas import.

KWiSE NEWS
The KWISE 2nd Meeting:
The KWISE 2nd meeting was held 7:00 –10:00 pm,
Thursday, January 20, 2005 at the Beckman Center,
TSRI. Korean dinner, generously provided by the
TSRI café, kicked off the second meeting of KWISE.
Following the opening remarks by Dr. Han, the
president of KWISE, a survey was conducted to
better serve the members. It was also discussed why
the members of KWISE should sign up as the
members of KSEA.
The theme of the second meeting was “Working in
Academia vs. Industry”, and the speakers presented
issues from each side.
The first presentation was titled Career
Development: Working in Academia, given by Dr.
Jungsook Cho. She talked about the obstacles of
becoming a woman scientist in the states and in
Korea. In order to succeed in the field of science as
women, Dr. Cho believes that we become confident
candidates by publishing as many papers as possible
and broadening network, just to list a few. She also
talked about pros and cons of being a professor.
24
The second speech, "How have the Expectations and
Aspirations of Women Engineers changed?" was
presented by Dr. Hee Koo Moon from Solar
Turbines. With the data gathered from different
sources, he showed how the number of women
engineers has increased over the years although only
half of those with bachelor's degree seem to further
pursue their career. Dr. Moon concluded his
presentation with pragmatic roles and challenges one
might face while working in the industry. Whereas
academia stresses on discoveries and development of
new technologies, industry stresses on profit and
cost-efficiency of the technologies.
After the short break, Prof. Paeng, Gi Jung presented
under a topic of, “Visions on working in Academia
or Industry”. He explained the advantages and
disadvantages of working in the Academia and
Industry. In addition, he also pointed out the other
opportunities such as working in the government or
starting own venture company.
The meeting ended around 10pm. Although the
meeting went a bit long, the time really flew quickly
as we enjoyed the seminars so much. We greatly
appreciate Prof. Cho, Dr. Moon and Prof. Paeng for
their wonderful presentations. We look forward to
seeing each of you soon in the next meeting.

questions regarding study section and review process
can be answered by SRA.
The KWISE 3rd Meeting:
The KWISE 3rd meeting was held 6:00 –9:00 pm,
Saturday, June 11, 2005 at the Beckman Center,
TSRI. The career development seminar was
followed by Korean dinner (Gim-bob and drink),
provided by KWISE and KSEA-SD. Dr. Han,
president of KWISE, hosted the speaker, Dr. Sooja
K. Kim, who is Chief of Endocrinology, Metabolism,
Nutrition and Reproductive Sciences, Center for
Scientific Review (CSR) at NIH. The seminar
entitled “How to Prepare a Successful NIH Grant
Proposal” provided the overview of the review
process for a research grant and expert
recommendations for the grant writing and
submission. Dr. Kim also spoke about common
problems in grant applications and tips for
resubmitting if revision becomes necessary.
According to Dr. Kim, each grant application is
received and processed by CSR and assigned to one
of the IRG’s study sections, composed of about 20
reviewers. Scientific Review Administrators (SRA),
like Dr. Kim, select three major reviewers who
would review the grant in detail and discuss its
scientific merit with the rest of the members in the
study section. Keeping a close contact with the SRA
can be helpful for the applicants since many of the
Some of the common problems in applications
which CSR frequently encounters are the following:
1) diffuse, superficial, or unfocused research plan; 2)
unrealistically large amount of work; 3) uncertainty
concerning future directions. Furthermore, Dr. Kim
conveyed the importance of having concise but
relevant Specific Aims that are clearly addressed by
each of the listed experiments. For the first time
applicants, having a strong departmental or
institutional support, as well as qualified
collaborators or consultants, is crucial.
Overall, the KWISE 3rd meeting was extremely
informative and beneficial. The handouts of the
slides were helpful as they allowed us to easily
follow the presentation and keep the detailed
information. After the presentation, Dr. Kim kindly
answered all of the questions from the audience with
great detail. We thank Dr. Kim for taking her time to
provide us with an excellent opportunity to learn
essential features of grant writing.
We look forward to seeing you all again at the next
KWISE event.

The Georgia Chapter participated in the NMC2005
for the first time. It turned out to be a very successful
event with more than 100 students. The Georgia
Chapter plans to have various meetings and
activities in the future.
Mississippi Branch
The KSEA is pleased to receive an application for
establishment of the Mississippi Branch from
scientists in Mississippi. Dr. Ken S. Lee has been
elected as President, Drs. Hakchul Shin, Sungbum
Hong, Hyunju Kim and Hyungchung Cho serve as
core members. Their immediate plan for spring
2005 was hosting the NMC on April 2, 2005, and a
Seminar for Dr. Hyunchung Cho in May, and one
picnic or dinner before June. The application will be
forwarded to the KSEA Council for formal
discussion and decision at the Council meeting
scheduled for August 14, 2005.
Central Illinois Chapter
The KSEA is pleased to report the recent revival of
Central Illinois Chapter thanks to the vigorous
effort by Prof. Ki Dong Lee at UIUC. They elected
Mr. Christopher Chul Ha of Caterpillar Inc. as the
Chapter President. They had their first staff meeting
among the 2005 officers and previous KSEA
officers on April 29, 2005. They also welcomed Dr.
Yu, Hyunung as the program director. They held the
second staff meeting in May to discuss the detail of
the chapter activity plan and monthly meetings in the
future.

KSEA Letters, Vol. 33, No. 2 (June 2005)
North Texas Chapter
We are a dynamic KSEA organization from the
greater Dallas-Fort Worth area that aspire to
promote good fellowship among the members,
support the community, particularly education of the
young children, and advance science and
technologies.
Key annual events include Fall and Spring Seminars,
National Math Competition and Spring Picnic. Our
seminars cover a broad range of topics: Imagine
lectures on a divine beauty of Suk-Kul-Am and its
structural challenges, amazing capability of a
tiltrotor aircraft that can best be described as a
hybrid between a helicopter and a plane, to
implications of drug discovery cost on healthcare.
Goals for the seminars are not just to exchange
useful technical information but to share the time
together with good food and social hour afterwards.
We consume over 300 pounds of the stuff. Corn
and potato are excellent compliments. If your
mouth and fingers didn’t turn red from the Cajun
spice, you didn’t eat enough. Prof. Gil S. Lee, the
past president of our chapter, is a designated cook
for the day and he is definitely a pro! Who brings
his own gear necessary for the boil? Dr. In Ho Kim
is our photographer.
He is always in the
background clicking shots whenever we sponsor
events like this. Once we are done eating, we get
down to the business of annual meeting and election.
A newly appointed vice president and presidentelect is Mr. Yo-Chuol Ho of TI.
Looking ahead in the coming year, in addition to the
events we routinely sponsor, we hope to broaden
our involvement in mentoring young children and
community work. We want to make a difference.
Esther K. Yang, PhD
President
North Texas Chapter, KSEA
Of course, the main event is the National Math
Competition.
Incremental benefit we offer is
generous awards for the local winners particularly
through the financial sponsorship from Texas
Instruments, Samsung Telecom America, and Erik
Jonsson School of Engineering and Computer
Science at the University of Texas, Dallas. Each
participant receives UT Dallas T shirt, and the first,
second and third place winners from each grade
receive $150, $100 and $50, respectively. Both UT
Dallas and UT Arlington Korean-American students
actively support this event from classroom
monitoring and grading to real time report summary
and award preparation. While the test is in process,
we give a seminar to the parents. Last two years
were on practical tips on college admissions as well
as medical, dental and pharmacy school application
requirements.
The most fun activity is our annual picnic held by
the shore of Lake Lewisville. About 100 family
members and friends attend. More important to
note is the unique experience we share. In keeping
up with the Southern tradition, we host the
“crawfish boil” fest and everyone digs into it with
no shame. Crawfish is a miniature version of
lobster but you need to work hard and eat lots of it!
