Pak Chol Ung, an official of the college, told KCNA:

"Intensifying education at factory colleges is one of the important works for building a thriving socialist nation.

The college will direct efforts to giving multimedia and IT education to students so that they can solve scientific and technological problems arising in hands-on activities."

Pak Chan Ju, a student of the college, said:

"As one of the first entrants of the college, I will top the class in study, mindful of leader Kim Jong Il's instructions on looking out over the world with feet planted on this land."

The five-year college has such departments as mechanical engineering, electrical engineering and metal engineering. It is open five days a week.

Its graduates will be granted engineership.
