The purpose of this study is to explore ways to secure highschool students' choice of courses in order to improve highschool - university linkage. For this purpose, we conducted in-depth focus group interviews with a total of 10 students in the second or the third year or graduate student at the science and engineering college, and these interviewees were recommended by their professors. Through interviews, the necessity to complete highschool science prerequisite courses, reason for not completing highschool science prerequisite courses necessary for college major, their intention to recommend highschool juniors to complete science prerequisite courses, and ways to guarantee prerequisite course completion for college major studies. Based on the results, we suggested ways to link highschool - university curriculum for science & engineering majors. Discussed in the conclusion are ways to stabilize highschool curriculum organization and implementation such as opening elective courses with a few students without disadvantage in the school record, improving the grading system for Science II courses in the school record as well as the College Scholastic Ability Test, providing career guidance about prerequisite courses by science & engineering majors, improving the science teacher's professionalism on teaching and career guidance, and developing college entrance systems to guarantee the completion of prerequisite courses for science & engineering college studies.

The study aims to find a way to guarantee high school students choose science subjects by exploring its necessity as a prerequisite for admission to university science and engineering major courses. For this purpose, a survey was administered to 516 science & engineering college students to investigate their cognition and completion of the prerequisite science subjects related to their major, department adjustment, and influence on their major of study. Among nine major clusters, Physics was identified as a science domain with a high relevance to majors in five major clusters, and Chemistry in three. The students who completed both science I and II subjects related to their majors responded most positively to the usefulness of prerequisite subjects to their studies. Suggestions include conditions for the opening of science II subjects, strengthening the connection between science subjects and IT, promotion of linkage between the prerequisite subject and major studies to assert students' choice of science subjects in high school.

NCS 기반 교육과정은 산업현장의 국가직무능력(National Competency Standards: NCS)을 고교 직업교육과정에 적용한 2015 개정 교육과정이다. 따라서 전문교과 교사는 학습자가 학습 종료시점에 NCS 수행준거를 만족하는 역량을 갖추도록 교육할 수 있는 교수역량을 필요로 한다. 이에 본 연구는, NCS 기반 교육과정 '전자' 교과의 실무과목, 학습모듈, NCS를 분석하여, 기초과목이나 실무과목으로 편성되지 않은 마이크로 프로세서 기본 역량에 대한 선수지식을 여러 영역에서 요구하고 있음을 밝혔다. 그러므로 NCS 기반 교육과정의 원활한 운영을 위해 '전자' 교과 교사는 마이크로프로세서관련 지식, 기술, 태도에 대한 교수역량을 강화할 필요가 있고, 학습모듈과 NCS는 수정 보완될 필요가 있음을 제안한다.
