The purpose of this study is to propose education program development models for improving communication competencies of engineering undergraduates in Korea based on practical research with empirical data on engineering undergraduates communication abilities. This study can help many universities to develop communication curriculum for undergraduates in engineering. Because of practical research on 355 engineering undergraduates empirical data, this study can provide new guideline of teaching communication skills (reading, writing, speaking and listening). Future research could examine and develop more possibilities and limitations of these studies through expansion of research to the many universities and students.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the trends after surveying Korean researches on writing classes of science and engineering college students. In this study, we reviewed the trends of the researches and summarized the fields of the journals. The contents of researches were classified into the general discussion on the science and engineering writing class and the discussion on the contents of education and the teaching methods. The flow of discussion about writing class was developed in detail closely related with characteristics of science and engineering discipline, composition of writing class, educational goal and curriculum of engineering education certification system. A number of researches have proposed contents and methods of education developed through the analysis of textbooks, school and case studies. It is necessary to develop active research on various perspectives and topics such as students, teachers, evaluation, and systems in the future.

The purpose of this study is to verify the effects of mastery goal orientation and time management ability on job search self-efficacy in the vocational education of engineering college students. A total of 52 samples were analyzed for this research. The result indicated that mastery goal orientation had positive effects on all sub-variables (job ability self-efficacy, career goal setting self-efficacy) of job search self-efficacy significantly. But time management ability had positive effects on career goal setting self-efficacy. And there are no significant differences in mean comparison of mastery goal orientation, time management ability, and job search self-efficacy according to gender and residence area. In addition, the interview results of engineering college students' perception of career, the understanding of vocational education, and job search self-efficacy were analyzed.

대학원 특히 이공계 대학원의 개선에 대하여는 지난 수년간 상당한 논의가 있었고 이에 따라 활발한 움직임이 있어 왔다. 근래 서울대학교가 대학원 중심의 대학교로 지향하겠음을 기본방침으로 채택하였으며 이공계 대학원으로써 전례에 없는 정부의 투자로서 한국과학원이 발족하여 이미 제1회 졸업생을 배출하였다. 따라서 우리나라에 본격적인 대학원교육의 세대가 온 것이라고 하여도 과언은 아니라고 본다. 일반 대학원교육의 목표가 "장차 연구와 교육에 종사할 대학교수를 양성하며 또한 사회에 봉사할 고등인력을 배출함"에 있으나 "사회가 요구하는 일부 고등인력이 특수대학원과 의치과에서만 배출되는 과도이고 대학원 전체로서는 이런 요구를 거의 충족치 못하고"있는 것이 지금까지의 현실이었다. (1)규모세성, (2)예산의 부족, (3)시설의 미비, (4)학생에의 지원빈곤 (5)교육 운영의 무리 및 (6)불합리한 기구의 성격때문에 일반대학원이 사회의 요구를 충족시키지 못할 뿐만 아니라 현재대학교들 자체의 교원 요원 충원에도 암경이 있음이 지적되고 있기도하다. 또우기 이러한 대학원교육의 분세성은 이공계에서는 더욱 심하다는 것이 명백히 나타나 있다. 일례로 시설은 기준에 훨씬 미흡하고 있으며 자연과학계열을 포함하고 있는 일반대학원의 학생 1인당 예산액이 사회과학계열의 특수대학원의 1인당 예산액의 반정도밖에 책정되어 있지 않는다는 어려운 실정이 나타나있다. 않는다는 어려운 실정이 나타나있다.

This study causally investigates whether high school student with high science learning motivation becomes to achieve more or vice versa, and also how those two factors affect STEM career motivation. Research participants were 1st year students in a high school at Seoul. We surveyed their science learning motivation three times in the same time interval in the fall semester of 2021, and once a STEM career motivation in the third period. We collected data from 171 students with their mid-term and final exam scores, with which, we constructed and fitted an autoregressive cross-lagged model. The research model shows high measurement stability and fit indices. All the autoregressive and cross-lagged paths were statistically significant. However, standardized regression coefficients were larger in path from motivation to achievement compared to the opposite. Only science learning motivation shows significant direct effect on STEM career motivation, rather than achievement. For indirect effects, the first science learning motivation affected the final exam score and STEM career motivation, and the final exam score affected STEM career motivation. However, the final exam score did not have a total effect toward STEM career motivation. The result of this study shows reciprocal and cyclic causality between science learning motivation and achievement - in comparison, the effect of motivation for the opposite is larger than that of achievement. Also the result of this study strongly reaffirms the importance of science learning motivation. Instructional implications for strengthening science learning motivation throughout a semester was discussed, and a study for the longitudinal effect of science learning motivation and achievement in high school student toward future STEM vocational life was suggested.

This study was carried out to develop a physics education program for foreign students of university in Korea to improve their ability to major in the field and to prevent them from becoming dropout. The subjects of the study are five Chinese students attending a natural science and engineering college. Prior to the development of the physics education program, the researchers developed basic physics textbooks for the foreign students and questionaries for diagnosis and summative evaluation, and utilized them to apply a total of seven classes. After the application of the classes, the results of the student's diagnosis and summative evaluation, the teacher's diaries, the observer's diaries, and the transcripts were analyzed by triangulation method. In addition, Nvivo12 was used for the analysis of the teacher's and observer's diaries to help with qualitative analysis. The results of the study are as follows: First, the oder and contents of physics education program for students of the natural science and engineering college were presented in detail, and basic physics textbooks and tools for diagnosis and summative assessment were developed. Second, as a result of the analysis of the diagnosis and summative assessment results of the program, the students' basic physics achievement improved by an average of 40 points due to the application of the developed program. Third, as a result of the application of the program using Nvivo12, meaningful node and actual cases were extracted. There were 10 types of nodes created such as understanding of the students, teaching method, rate of the participation, level differences, language problems, relevance to majors, curriculum and methods of education in the country of origin, cooperative learning, and interest inducement. The researcher provided suggestions on physics education methods for students of science and engineering colleges in Korea based on the related cases.

본 논문에서는 인문계 대학생과 이공계 대학생들의 스마트폰 사용이 어떻게 다른지 그 차이점을 알아보고 자기통제력 척도를 활용하여 자기통제력 정도를 측정하고 자기통제력 정도에 따라 표준화된 스마트폰중독 진단척도를 사용하여 측정한 스마트폰 중독 정도를 두 계열 학생들이 유형을 서로 비교해보고 각각의 전공분야에 맞는 바람직한 스마트폰 활용 방안을 모색해 보고자 한다.

지난 2월 24일과 3월 13일은 우리나라 여성 공학계에 뜻깊은 일이 있었던 날이다. 2월 24일은 이공계 각 산업분야에서 성공을 거둔 여성 공학인들의 이야기를 엮은 《세상을 바꾸는 여성 엔지니어》의 출판 기념회, 3월 13일에는 그 여세를 몰아‘한국여성공학기술인협회’가 정식으로 발족한 날이다. 이공계 침체 현상을 역전시키고, 그 미래를 밝게 틔워줄 이런 반가운 움직임의 중심에 퓨어셀파워 신미남 대표가 있다. 포근한 인상과 달리 이공계에 대한 자부심과 미래 비전에 대해 자분자분 풀어내는 표정에서 단단한 리더십과 도전정신이 풍겨 나왔다.
