This study aims to investigate the key common topics identified and discussed in relevant literature associated with the integrative efforts among STEM disciplines. The key methodology and pedagogy were examined and the significant benefits of using the design method for STEM education were discussed. Meta-analysis was employed and qualitative approach was mainly used to synthesize the major findings and conclusions of the 33 empirical studies. The findings of this meta-analysis revealed that the types and names describing the design methods used the various terms, but the key features have reflected the similar pedagogical benefits and key characteristics. The engineering design is an effective strategic methodology and pedagogy for STEM education. In addition, the design methods show the key benefits including (1) to improve academic achievement, (2) to promote students' affective gains, (3) to facilitate collaborative learning, and (4) to explore STEM related careers and jobs. The collaborative works among STEM professions are needed to promote the benefits of using design methods for integrating STEM subjects.

공학의 궁긍적 목표는 과학지식을 활용하여 인간의 생활을 윤택하게 하는 물질, 제품 그리고 시스템을 만들어 내는 것이다. 공학교육의 문제점으로 지적된 진로를 무시한 획일적 교육이나 공학을 하나의 순수학문으로 취급하는 그릇된 교육방식은 하루빨리 개선되어야 하겠다. 또한 창출한 기술이 아무리 우수해도 사회에서 받아들이지 않으면 무의미하기 때문에 기술이 사회에 도입되는 과정을 풀어갈 수 있도록 하는 폭넓은 교육이 필요하다.

This study aimed to develop an engineering design-based science education program for high school students and to investigate its effects on students' science-related attitudes and engineering design abilities. "Creating healthy shoes for maintaining proper posture program" was developed as an activity to come up with creative solutions using the methodology of an engineering design process to solve problems in daily life. The creating healthy shoes for maintaining proper posture program consisted of the following five stages: "defining the problem," "ingathering information related to the problem," "generating the solution," "implementing the best solution," and "evaluating the solution & reflecting." As a result of applying this engineering design-based science education program, it improved the high school students' science-related attitudes and engineering design abilities. Therefore, the program developed in this study has a positive effect on enhancing high school students' science-related attitudes and engineering design abilities. These findings imply that the continuous operation and expansion of activities incorporating an engineering design process in science education are necessary as a teaching and learning strategy for cultivating future science talents.

This study aimed to analyze the learning contents related to biotechnology in life science II and general engineering based on the 2015 revised national curriculum and discuss pedagogical implications for biotechnology education. The main findings were as follows: First, while the learning topics of life science II focused on the ethical aspects related to biotechnology, the learning topics of general engineering focused on the industrial aspects of biotechnology. Second, there were types of overlapping biotechnologies in the life science II textbooks and general engineering textbooks. However, the life science II textbooks provided more scientific and professional descriptions of biotechnology principles than the general engineering textbooks. Also, the life science II textbooks provided more specific overall explanations than the general engineering textbooks. There was a lack of ethical considerations concerning biotechnology in the general engineering textbooks. These findings imply that it is necessary to reorganize biotechnology content based on each school's curriculum and student characteristics.

This study explores the perception of Engineering Design of teachers who have long experience in the Integrated STEAM education. The teachers participating in this study were 12 elementary and secondary teachers with more than five years of experience in the Integrated STEAM Education. The study conducted semi-structured interviews. Interview questions focused on experiences of Integrated STEAM Education and recognition of Engineering Design, whether or not to reflect the curriculum of Engineering Design, and actual cases of Integrated STEAM Education with Engineering Design. As a result of this study, the teachers who participated in this study recognized that 'identification and coexistence of concepts for science, technology, and engineering' about Engineering Design, 'Creative design is possible when creativity is added to Engineering Design', 'Engineering Design is to analyze the economic feasibility and utility of the output created through the creative design process', 'Engineering Design is only for students who choose a career in science and engineering'. Based on this research, We need to establish and present correct concepts for science, technology, and engineering, and make an effort to include Engineering Design for solving scientific problems in the curriculum. In addition, we will have to develop and spread the Integrated STEAM Education program including Engineering Design and apply it in the field. Through this, we will have to find concrete action plans to improve the perception of science and engineering Integrated STEAM programs and Engineering Design among novice teachers and preservice teachers.

우리나라 공과대학의 학생들은 열악한 환경에서 공부하고 있으며 졸업자 대상 설문조사에서 59%가 현장성이 결여된 이론중심의 교육을 실시하고 있다고 지적하고 있다. 이에 우리의 공학교육은 산업체 적응기간을 단축시키고 신기술 조류를 파악하여 시대 변화에 적응력이 강한 공학인을 양성토록 하고, 특히 현장위주의 교육과정을 도입하고 분야별로 다양한 단계의 산학협동 협의체를 구성하여 실속있는 공학교육을 실현시켜야 하겠다.

19세기의 기술시대 이후, 20세기 전반은 과학의 시대, 20세기 후반은 과학과 공학이 연합한 세 련된 기술의 창조시대였으며, 21세기는 정교한 공학과 과학의 지식이 요구되는 시대라고 한다. 이러한 논리는 현대공학이 기술주도와 과학주도 공학분야의 결합체로서, 공학적 수련(engineering practice)을 위해서는 과학이 원리에 기본을 둔 지시과 수련과 기술에 의하여 주도된 경험적 지 식을 모두 요구하고 있기 때문이다. 공학은 응용과학과는 다르며 과학적인 원리와 경험적 지 식을 사용하여 기술적인 해를 추구하는 방법임에도 불구하고 오늘날의 세계적인 공학교육의 추 세는 아직까지도 과학적 원리에 중점을 두어왔으며, 따라서 공학의 요체라 할 수 있는 수련과 기술에 의한 경험적 지식은 대학교육에서 도외시 되어온 반면, 많은 부분이 산업체에 축적, 존 재하게 되었다. 특히 현대의 고도기술 경쟁사회에 있어서 창의적 기술개발은 상대적 기술우위를 점하기 위해 필수적인 요소가 되고 있으며 '기술에는 과거가 있어도 기술자에게는 과거가 없고 오직 미래만이 있다'는 아이러니가 통용되고 있는 실정이다.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the change of perceptions and images of teachers about engineering, according to practical training in laboratories of engineering research institutes. For this purpose, 149 elementary and secondary school teachers were surveyed before and after visiting the engineering research institutes and examined the perception of engineers and engineering. Through this teacher training program, perceptions and images of most teachers are changed positively and they can understand practically about engineering, and related fields. The results of this study can be used as basic data for the development, operation, and expansion of teacher training using advanced science and technology research institutes with excellent human and material resources.
