Many engineering schools in Korea implement ABEEK programs. One of the core parts of ABEEK is accreditation criterion 2, the program outcomes and their appraisal. This paper tries to discuss the program outcomes and to study the impact of applying the program outcomes to one of the graduation requirements. We show simple survey results for implementing ABEEK programs concerning the program outcomes and their relation to graduation requirements. If the program outcomes are used as one of the graduation requirements, some graduates may satisfy the average grade point for graduation requirements but can not meet the program outcome criteria satisfied by other than regular classes. In this case, the graduate may have trouble to try to meet the program outcome criteria, since he may not be able to stay in school without taking classes. The problems of setting the levels of program outcomes as graduation requirements, non classwork related program outcomes, and work burden to professors should be also prudently reviewed for successful ABEEK implementation.

The accreditation review against engineering technological education just started in 2010. This study was conducted to get the significant implications for the accreditation of engineering technological education in Korea from the case of USA and Australia which have reviewed the engineering programs for long time. We can identify some differences between three countries. We suggested the three implications for ABEEK. First, ABEEEK needs to provide the definite graduates attributes to achieve. In that point, Stage 1 competency standard of Australia can be a good example which provide competency elements and indicators of attainment as well. Second, ABEEK needs to consult the course-embbeded evaluation for programs to check whether graduates achieve the graduates attributes. Third, ABEEK needs to benchmark the cases of USA and Australia to alleviate the paperwork load.

The Conceiving-Designing-Implementing-Operating (CDIO) initiative is a worldwide organization with members from over 120 institutions for higher education, and it provides an innovative educational framework for producing the next generation of engineers. This paper compares the CDIO standards and syllabus to the accreditation criteria of Accreditation Board for Engineering Education of Korea, ABEEK to identify similarities and differences and to find points of improvement for ABEEK criteria. It is found that the basic concepts of ABEEK criteria correlates well with those of CDIO standards, while the CDIO standards and syllabus provide more detailed and well-defined guidelines for engineering programs. Finally, some discussions are presented on the differences between the two educational models, a voluntary-based CDIO model and an accreditation-based ABEEK model.

본 연구는 공학교육 인증제를 시작한 시기나 공학교육이 진행되어 온 문화적 풍토가 어느 정도 유사한 일본의 인증제 운영 상황을 분석함으로써 한국의 인증제 운영에 유의미한 시 사점을 얻고자 시도되었다. 본 연구는 첫째, "accreditation"의 번역어로서 일본의 JABEE가 채택하고 있는 "평가인정"과 공인원이 채택하고 있는 "평가인증"의 개념 정의를 하였고, 둘째, 평가주체, 평가목적, 평가절차, 평가결과 활용 등의 측면에서 일본의 평가인정의 개요를 조사하였고, 셋째, JABEE의 인정기준별로 심사항목 및 프로그램의 준비상황을 분석하였고, 넷째, 공학교육인정제를 둘러싼 논의사항을 정리하였다. 이를 기초로 본 연구에서 제시한 시사점은 다음과 같다. 첫째, 인증평가는 전문분야별 평가로서 학회를 보다 실질적으로 활용해야 한다. 둘째, 가급적 서류 작업을 줄이고 인증제의 본질적인 목적에 보다 충실한 평가를 할 수 있도록 인증기준을 개정하고 기본적인 템플릿을 제공할 필요가 있다. 셋째, 평가자 교육을 강화하기 위하여 일본의 옵저버 제도를 참고할 필요가 있다. 넷째, 인증 프로그램 및 졸업생에 대한 혜택을 주기 위한 노력을 강화해야 한다. 다섯째, 프로그램의 개선 시스템이 평가 결과를 기초로 교과목의 실질적인 개선을 유도할 수 있는 방향으로 조직되어야 한다. 여섯째, 학습성과 달성도 평가에서 교과목의 활용을 고려할 필요가 있다. 일곱째, 공인 원의 인증활동에 대하여 메타평가(meta-evaluation)를 받음으로써 인증활동에 대한 권위와 정당성을 부여받을 필요가 있다.

This paper analyzes the current state of operation and the effect of introduction of the single accreditation system, which was fully introduced in 2016 by the Accreditation Board of Engineering Education Korea(ABEEK). Because Engineering Education Accreditation are program-based certification, and department operates accreditation programs and non-accreditation programs, if a student under the accreditation program fails to graduate from the accreditation program, he or she must complete the transfer to a non-accreditation program at least one year before graduation. Since 2016, when the single accreditation system was introduced, freshmen of department have allowed non-accreditation graduation only for reasons prescribed separately by the program's regulations or guidelines. In order to identify and reflect the operational status and effectiveness of the single accreditation system in the 2020 accreditation review, ABEEK conducted a complete survey on the current status of graduates in February 2020 among 157 programs at 26 universities receiving the 2020 accreditation review. The results of this study are expected to be used as basic data for the improvement of the single accreditation system in the future by examining the effects of the single accreditation system implemented after 2016 and considering the problems at the site due to the introduction of the single accreditation system of programs that ABEEK had not previously expected.

The needs for change in the traditional on engineering education system in Korea have been evoked since 1998 when the Accreditation Board for Engineering Education of Korea (ABEEK) was about to be established. The engineering college at Yeungnam University has been one of the most active members in the Korean higher education institutions which participated in the ABEEK movement at the earliest stage. This paper reports the efforts made by Yeungnam University in preparing for the trial accreditation of engineering programs for the first time in Korea. The reformation and restructuring were made in many areas in order to establish the self-improving circulative engineering education system. The accreditation criteria were thoroughly investigated, and reforms were made in individual programs based on the critical assessment of existing system. The contents of educational reform and the experience during the trial accreditation process are summarized and discussed.

Since ABEEK ("Accreditation Board for Engineering Education of Korea") began its accreditation in 2001, the 595 programs in 100 institutions have been accredited, and now the number of accredited programs is continuously increasing. On the other hand, NCS ("National Competency Standards") which is directed by government, has been also introduced in recent years, and it becomes the center of attentions of many universities in Korea. Each of these 2 systems has its own strengths and weaknesses, even though their main purposes are very similar. This paper deals with the comparison between the curriculum based on NCS with ABEEK. And also, the examples of making the curriculum based on the NCS would be introduced. At the conclusion, some suggestions for the new NCS system would be proposed.

한국공학교육인증원(ABEEK)이 출범한 이래로 많은 대학의 프로그램들이 인증을 받았고 또 준비하고 있으나, 실제 교육현장에서 인증프로그램을 운영하는데 있어서 많은 어려움을 겪고 있는 것 또한 사실이다. 이는 우리나라 공학교육의 인증역사가 일천하여 아직 운영측면에서의 경험이 많지 않고 구성원들의 이해부족에 기인한 경우도 있다. 본 연구에서는 2002년 인증평가이후 수년간 인증프로그램을 운영해온 경험을 토대로 보다 효과적으로 인증프로그램을 유지할 수 있는 몇 가지 핵심방안을 제시하고자한다. 특히, 각 인증기준별로 필수적으로 문서화하여 관리해야하는 내용들을 중심으로 정기적인 학사일정과 동일한 수준으로 다룰 수 있는 처리과정을 제안하고자 한다.

This paper suggests a realistic, business engineers' model based on Coop projects run by regional universities or colleges, in which students must meet the guidelines for engineering design that ABEEK requires. Many of current activities such as Coop programs and Internships aimed for engineering majored-undergraduates have notled them either to a satisfactory level of business skill at entrepreneur side, or to their higher chance of employment opportunities. Under the circumstances like this, we need a revised version of Coop activities: for example, launching a project that will be fully supported intrust by both sides, and thus improving students' business skill while they are working on that project. We demonstrate in this study how students have greatly improved their business skill through a model project that was planned by a working group, was successfully carried out on real job positions, and many of the students in the working group were job-offered finally as this new model suggested.
