In August last year they won the Codechef contest (starters), an international programming competition on the Internet, which brought together 40 000 applicants from more than 50 countries including China and India. They made successive wins at several contests that followed under the same name.

Choe Won Guk, a student at the chemical process engineering course of the Chemistry Faculty, contributed to the Iranian Polymer Journal his paper “Preparation and characterization of durable flame retardant cotton fabrics using phosphorylation reaction of cellulose with ammonium etidronate.” Papers by several other students were indexed by SCI journals.
