초록

국가직무능력표준, NCS(National Competency Standards)는 대학이나 기업체 모두에서 매우 중요한 이슈로 대두되고 있다. NCS는 그동안 직업훈련기관에서 주로 사용되어 왔으나 최근 들어 2,3년제 전문대학뿐만이 아니라 4년제 대학에서도 점차 관심을 가지고 있는 추세이다. 문제해결능력, 의사소통능력, 대인관계능력 등의 NCS의 직업기초능력과 같은 소프트스킬들은 기술이 비약적으로 발전하는 지식정보사회에서는 구체적인 기술능력보다 더욱더 중요성이 증대되고 있다. 본 연구는 NCS의 직업기초능력과 북미와 유럽 등지에서 캡스톤 디자인으로 많이 활용하고 있는 Formula SAE 활동과의 연관성을 대회 현지관찰조사, 학생들이 작성한 대회 관련 문서들 그리고 미국 링컨에서 열린 Formula SAE대회와 한국 KSAE 대회에 참가한 학생들을 대상으로 하는 설문 조사를 통하여 분석하였다. 결과에서 학생들이 참가한 Formula SAE 대회는 NCS 직업기초능력 항들과 전반적인 관점에서 밀접한 속성을 가진다는 것을 알 수가 있다. Formula SAE 활동이 NCS 직업기초능력 향상에 얼마나 도움이 되는가에 대한 설문조사에서 해외 및 국내 모두 전반적으로 리커트척도 5점 만점에 모두 4.0 이상의 점수를 나타내며 도움이 되는 것으로 나타났다. 참고로 양 대회 참가학생들 간에 수학적능력, 의사소통능력, 문제해결능력 항들은 통계적으로 유의미한 관계를 나머지 항들은 유의차가 없는 것으로 나타났다.

NCS (National Competency Standards) has emerged as an issue of great importance amongst Korean universities and corporations. Although previously used mostly for vocational education purposes at colleges, NCS is currently receiving an increasing amount of attention from 4-year universities as well. In the ever-evolving information economy, the basic workplace skills defined by NCS, which include soft skills such as communication skills, problem-solving skills, and interpersonal skills, have now become more important than specific technical skills. This study analyzes the correlation between the basic workplace skills of NCS with participation in Formula SAE activities, a common component of Capstone design courses across North America and Europe. Data are derived from site visits to Formula SAE competitions, competition-related documents drafted by student participants, and questionnaires administered to student participants at the Formula SAE Lincoln completion and at the Korea KSAE competition. From the study findings, we claim that the basic workplace skills of NCS are closely correlated to participation in Formula SAE activities. Through a survey designed to measure the degree to which Formula SAE activities can enhance an individual's NCS Basic Workplace Skills, we find that these activities overall improved NCS basic workplace skills averaging 4.0 points above in the Likert 5-point scale. For reference the mathematical skills, communication skills, and problem-solving skills displayed statistically significantly correlation with NCS but the remaining 7 skills did not show a statistically strong correlation with NCS comparatively.
