Many research institutes have studied 3D stereoscopic images since the release of 3D stereoscopic film 'Avatar' in 2009. Universities have conducted research on and studied 3D stereoscopic image in various ways, and even university curriculums have adopted 3D stereoscopic image production courses. However, universities face many difficulties in purchasing expensive equipment including cameras and rigs for 3D stereoscopic image contents production training. This paper addresses the 3D stereoscopic image content production curriculum using software in university. A practical training course was carried out based on the theoretical contents and theories that must be dealt with in 3D stereoscopic image contents production curriculum. As a result, students could understand the principles of 3D stereoscopic image production and produce various 3D stereoscopic images using various software applications. In this parer, proper instructional methods for 3D stereoscopic image contents production in university are discussed through this production course.

Operating Systems is a discipline which handles abstract concepts and techniques. However, most of OS courses have been textbook-oriented theoretical classes. Theoretical classes lead to the decline in the understanding of a lecture and hurt their concentration. Many instructors have tried various ways to help students understand lectures and arouse interests. This paper describes the design and implementation of a web-based educational CPU scheduling simulator which enables learners to set up various situations and simulate scheduling processes using a web browser or a smart-phone. After utilizing the implemented simulator for the class, the survey result for 2014's students shows that it is useful as an educational tool which enhances the understanding of a lecture and develops their problem solving skills.

Owing to increasing concern that jobseekers are wasting too much time and effort building up so-called "spec" skills to get a decent job, many companies including state-run enterprises are now hiring rookies based on their job competency rather than test scores unrelated to the job. However, universities which are mainly responsible for training professional personnel needed for various kinds of companies and factories are reluctant to adopt NCS-based educational courses. The NCS defines how much knowledge and skill are required to work in a certain industry and then evaluates them. Although the Korean government and several junior colleges have been tentatively operating the course-based qualification system at the "industrial technician" level since 2014, the results are falling far short of diverse stakeholders' expectations. Therefore, there are urgent needs to study how to develop NCS-based curriculum at the university level, and how to strengthen the linkage between work, training, and qualification.

Operating Systems is a discipline which handles abstract concepts and techniques. However, most of OS courses have been textbook-oriented theoretical classes. Theoretical classes lead to the decline in the understanding of a lecture, and hurt their concentration. Many instructors have tried to make use of educational tools to help students understand lectures and arouse interests. This paper describes the design and implementation of a CPU scheduling simulator which shows the operation of process scheduling algorithms visually. The academic achievement evaluation for 2010's students and 2011's and t-test results show that the differences of the correct answer ratio for the exam about CPU scheduling algorithms are meaningful. The survey shows that the simulator is useful as an educational tool which causes the interests and enhances the understanding of a lecture, this teaching method is effective to develop problem solving skills.

The most important thing in vocational education and training is to enhance students' interest and understanding of the whole process of the production site. In this paper, we present a case on the implementation of tele-operation robot hand by learning factory based technology convergence education. It also suggests some points to be taken when applying the learning factory in the future curriculum. In order to implement the tele-operation robot hand, it is necessary to support the compulsory subjects of university level courses in domestic curriculum such as mechanic design, motor control, local communication implementation, sensing and feedback control. The educational research presented in this paper guides the students with the skills they need and understands the skills through self-study and practice, and implements the final products. This study will be useful as a base data when introducing the training process of training factory in the future.

The ability to use software is an essential competency in modern society. As a result, programming education is conducted from elementary school to university. In case of programming education for non-majors conducted in the liberal arts at universities, if it is conducted online using high-quality contents, problems such as the shortage of professional professor and the limitation of practice time can be solved. Also, it has the advantage of providing students with enough time to think and solve problems. In this paper, the possibility of online lectures was investigated through a survey before and after lectures in software liberal arts courses conducted online. From the results of the survey, it is judged that the goal of software education can be achieved even if software lectures are conducted online, which is to improve computational thinking and problem-solving skills.

As we have become more interested in 'competency' that means ability to do something around the world, the competency of the best performers has also been introduced in the university curriculum as a concept of core competency. Research continues on why this competency-based education is needed compared to existing academic-oriented education, how it can be introduced into existing curricula, and how it can be developed and evaluated in detail. This study develops and validates core competency assessment tools that can diagnose core competencies of engineering students. Therefore, this research paper conducted a literature review related to core competencies and also core competency assessment tools of university students. It seeks to explore the implications of core competency assessment tools for engineering students and then lay the foundation for competency-based teaching and learning at engineering colleges. And also it defines the concepts of core competencies and each core competency of engineering students through prior research analysis of competence, core competence, and core competence of university students. The primary core competency assessment tool consisted of sub-factors and questions of core competencies. It were modified through the expert validation of the primary one and then it was used as a core competency assessment tools for preliminary investigation. The core competency assessment tools for engineering students are consisted of 6 competencies, 22 sub-factors, and 91 questions. There are core competencies as follows: engineering basic competencies, major engineering competencies, self-management competencies, communication competencies, interpersonal competencies, global competencies. The preliminary survey was conducted on 426 engineering students attending the Engineering Education FESTA 2019. The preliminary findings were derived by conducting exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, question characteristics analysis, and reliability analysis for validation. The core competency assessment tools developed through this study can be used to verify the effectiveness of the curriculum and programs for students at engineering colleges. In addition, the developed core competencies, sub-factors, and questions can be utilized in a series of courses that design, conduct, and evaluate engineering curricula and programs as competency-based curriculum. The significance of this study is to lay the groundwork for providing competency-based education engineering students to develop core competencies.

In the era of 20 nm scaled semiconductor volume manufacturing, Microelectronics Manufacturing Engineering Education is presented in this paper. The purpose of microelectronic engineering education is to educate engineers to work in the semiconductor industry; it is therefore should be considered even before than technology development. Three Microelectronics Manufacturing Engineering related courses are introduced, and how undergraduate students acquired hands-on experience on Microelectronics fabrication and manufacturing. Conventionally employed wire bonding was recognized as not only an additional parasitic source in high-frequency mobile applications due to the increased inductance caused from the wiring loop, but also a huddle for minimizing IC packaging footprint. To alleviate the concerns, chip bumping technologies such as flip chip bumping and pillar bumping have been suggested as promising chip assembly methods to provide high-density interconnects and lower signal propagation delay [1,2]. Aluminum as metal interconnecting material over the decades in integrated circuits (ICs) manufacturing has been rapidly replaced with copper in majority IC products. A single copper metal layer with various test patterns of lines and vias and $400{\mu}m$ by $400{\mu}m$ interconnected pads are formed. Mask M1 allows metal interconnection patterns on 4" wafers with AZ1512 positive tone photoresist, and Cu/TiN/Ti layers are wet etched in two steps. We employed WPR, a thick patternable negative photoresist, manufactured by JSR Corp., which is specifically developed as dielectric material for multi- chip packaging (MCP) and package-on-package (PoP). Spin-coating at 1,000 rpm, i-line UV exposure, and 1 hour curing at $110^{\circ}C$ allows about $25{\mu}m$ thick passivation layer before performing wafer level soldering. Conventional Si3N4 passivation between Cu and WPR layer using plasma CVD can be an optional. To practice the board level flip chip assembly, individual students draw their own fan-outs of 40 rectangle pads using Eagle CAD, a free PCB artwork EDA. Individuals then transfer the test circuitry on a blank CCFL board followed by Cu etching and solder mask processes. Negative dry film resist (DFR), Accimage$^{(R)}$, manufactured by Kolon Industries, Inc., was used for solder resist for ball grid array (BGA). We demonstrated how Microelectronics Manufacturing Engineering education has been performed by presenting brief intermediate by-product from undergraduate and graduate students. Microelectronics Manufacturing Engineering, once again, is to educating engineers to actively work in the area of semiconductor manufacturing. Through one semester senior level hands-on laboratory course, participating students will have clearer understanding on microelectronics manufacturing and realized the importance of manufacturing yield in practice.
