본 논문은 창의성교육 프로그램 개발 방향으로 창업교육에 대한 실행방안을 연구 및 기획한 논문이다. 창업의 현황과 문제점을 토대로 교육프로그램 개발하고 공학교육의 창의적 능력 및 정보기획과 분석력 개발교육을 통해 공학교육의 질 제고를 위한 새로운 모델을 제시하고 있다. 본연구의 기초는 공학인증프로그램의 설계교과과정의 내실화가 기본바탕을 이루고 있으며, 교육과정에 추가되는 softskill의 활용도 아울러 요구되고 있다. 특히 설계교과과정의 정점을 이루고 있는 캡스톤디자인(종합설계교과목) 교육성과의 활용도를 적극 활용할 수 있는 기회를 제공하고 있다.

The purpose of this study is to analyze elementary and secondary school teachers' recognition about engineering education in elementary and secondary school. For this, we surveyed elementary and secondary school teachers. The result of this study is as follow. First, most teachers perceived that engineering positively affect national competitiveness and development. They also found that engineering education helps student to select natural science and engineering field career. Moreover, they perceived that engineering contents are not applied in elementary and secondary schools curriculums, hence it does not stimulate interest in engineering. Therefore, they perceived that if engineering education contents are systematically applied in formal curriculum, it will have a positive effect on current engineering education. Second, most teachers perceived that roles of engineering education are to make students learn creative design and problem solving process and inform about the engineering field career. They perceived that the best grade to start engineering education is 4~6 grade in elementary school and the best way to apply engineering education is through distributing engineering education contents to related subjects. They also perceived that technology subject has the most relation to engineering education and science subjects; mathematics subject follow after.

A curriculum is a measure of how high level of knowledge is educated to students affiliated to university institutions, and is used as an indicator evaluating usefulness of the university institutions. For this reason, Designing and assessing curricula is a critical to high education institutions. However, in the case of development and quality assessment of a curriculum with a traditional way, finding a right curriculum which a designer intends is a time consuming and error-prone process. Therefore, in order to improve these problems, we propose the curriculum design engine using SES (System Entity Structure) / DEVS (Discrete Event System Specification) Framework in this paper. The SES describes all possible combination of curricula for students. The DEVS framework provides a simulation environment for models created from the SES by the students. The proposed engine will show appropriate curricula for students after a simulator appropriately filters students' requirement, according to conditions.

This study aims to explore self-directed learning strategies of high academic achievers majoring in engineering. The research participants were 21 fourth-year students who had attained the first or second highest cumulative grade point average in each department during the past three-year and were asked to write an essay on "my successful learning methods or techniques." The essays were analyzed by theme analysis method which is one of the qualitative methods to extract the self-directed learning strategies used by high performing students. According to the results of this study, the self-directed learning strategies of excellent students could be categorized into fundamental strategies to induce self-directed learning, preparatory strategies, implementation strategies and management strategies for marinating self-directed learning. Detail information on each category is as follow: 1) fundamental strategies refer to positive and pleasant mind, academic confidence and effort attribution, 2) preparatory strategies refer to concrete and challenging goal setting, establishment of learning strategies adjusted courses characteristics and practical learning planning, 3) implementation strategies refer to intensive learning in class, knowledge exploration, knowledge acquisition, social networking and exhaustive preparation for exams and 4) management strategies refer to time management and learning environment management.

This paper explores the concept and historic context of appropriate technology to provide the academic community with better understanding, insights, current trends, and finally, implications for engineering education. To do that, a rigorous literature survey has been carried out. The result supports that the appropriate technology concept will meet present tasks of engineering education, which calls on policy development and further studies.

이 연구에서는 공대 교수, 학생, 기업의 성인지에 대한 사고를 조사하였다. 한국교통대학교 공대 교수 59명, 남학생 226명, 여학생 109명, 그리고 충북에 소재한 기업의 인사담당자 28명을 대상으로 하였다. 교수 대상 설문지는 26문항, 학생용은 30문항, 기업용은 5문항으로 구성하였다. 분석은 ${\chi}^2$ 교차분석방법을 사용하였다. 연구 결과, 교수는 일반적으로 성차이에 대한 인식을 가지고 있었다. 교수들은 여학생이 리더십이 부족하고 성공에 대한 자신감이 낮다고 생각하였다. 또한 여학생의 취업에 불이익이 있다고 인식하였다. 그러나 그들은 이러한 생각을 교육이나 취업 안내에 반영하지 않았다. 여학생들 역시 취업에 대한 자신감이 낮았으며, 공학교육에서 성인지적 교수법이 적용되지 않는다고 생각하였다. 여학생들은 남학생보다 공학전공에 대해 부정적이었으며, 교수의 인식과 유사하였다. 한편 남학생은 동료 여학생의 성인지에 대해 무심하였다. 기업의 취업담당자들의 인식은 교수나 학생의 인식과 달랐다. 이러한 연구 결과로부터 교수와 학생의 취업에 대한 인식이 변화되어야 함을 알 수 있다. 여학생들을 위한 더 나은 공학전공교육을 위하여 앞으로 연구가 필요하다.
