Jeonbuk National University (JBNU) LINC+ Project Group (Director Professor Ko Young-ho) held a Capstone Design competition for students on the 17th and awarded prizes to a total of 41 projects, naming the team of students from the Division of Mechanical System Engineering (Kim Dong-ju, Kim Se-yeol, Park Gi-o, Park Beom-ju, Park Seong-woo, Jang Ha-eun) for their proposal "Anti-Pinch Bus Door" as the Grand Prize.

The Grand Prize entry is a bus door that uses sensors to detect when a person or object becomes trapped and prevents safety accidents. It received praise from the judges for its practicality.

Kim Dong-ju of the Grand Prize team said, "I want to give the honor to our team members who worked hard together from idea conception through development and fabrication," and "I am pleased that our project received a positive evaluation, and I thank our advising professor and the LINC+ Project Group for their assistance in development."

Professor Ko Young-ho, Director of the LINC+ Project Group, said, "I am pleased that we can showcase capstone design projects, the essence of student-based Industry–University Collaboration that our university is proud of," and "I hope the students' creative ideas will be disseminated through online exhibitions and other channels."

Meanwhile, the Project Group exhibited the students' various idea projects on the first floor of the library and they are permanently displayed through the online exhibition(http://lincplus.jbnu.ac.kr/contest).
