This research aims to explore the relationships between 'teamwork skills' (often called team activity competence) and 'thinking styles' of engineering students in Korea, and to provide an explanation for the application of team-based environment as well as for the increase of teamwork skills. Teams and team activity are pervasive in today's organization and there has been relatively much research on teamwork skills and its related factors. However, to date, little attention has been paid to the teamwork skills, essential factor in team-based environment and its relationships with thinking styles. This study was conducted with 383 engineering students at P University, and students' teamwork skills as well as thinking styles have been measured before and after team-based learning class (hereafter TBL). Our findings show that firstly, there was a significant increase of teamwork skills between before and after TBL class. Second, team activity competence was found to have a higher correlation with most of creativity generating styles (i.e. legislative, judicial, hierarchical and global styles). Third, hierarchical style was found to influence team activity more than other components, and also legislative, external, global and judicial styles contributed to team-based activity. These findings are expected to provide an explanation for the application of thinking styles in team-based environment and will be useful for the improvement of related courses in engineering school.

Shu-gyo-ryoku, a program to enhance students' academic and career skills, was begun in the academic year 2011. Under the new program, "Career Planning" and "Career Design" were introduced as part of the liberal arts education for incoming freshmen. Approximately 500 students majoring in engineering enrolled in "Career Planning" in which they study a "curriculum map" and how it relates to their future fields of employment. The curriculum map illustrates the connections between classes and increases students'understanding of the curriculum structure. In small groups, students discussed the curriculum in order to develop sketches of their career paths. In addition, students answered a career anchor test and though several communicative activities, improved their communication skills. A portfolio system was built into the university network to record the learning history of each student. Students are able to check their learning histories and reflect on the change in themselves during their academic careers.

We consider the characterized curriculum of industrial engineering for training the excellent technician. We classified many kinds of jobs in the industry and information society and compared them with the curriculums of 13 junior colleges sampled randomly. Also we inquired the degree of relation of the technique qualification for graduates from industrial engineering to the current major subjects. For fostering the cultured individuals the community demands, we amended and looked into the current liberal arts course to supplement it. We analyzed the opinions of students, professors and experts from various circles through questionnaires, and then we set up the direction and the priority order for developing the curriculum for training the technician. According to the analyzed results, we presented the curriculum centering around customers and demanders and introduced it in detail. We are going to utilize developed curriculum, teaching methods by computers and practice methods step by step, and make expansion to industrial engineering of other colleges. Then we are planning to apply to the reeducation for graduates and the social education that contains the industrial human resources and the ordinary persons.

Korea has the tenth largest film industry in the world; however, detailed analyses using the factors contributing to successful film commercialization have not been approached. Using big data, this paper analyzed both internal and external factors (including genre, release date, rating, and number of screenings) that contributed to the commercial success of Korea's top 10 ranking films in 2011-2015. The authors developed a WebCrawler to collect text data about each movie, implemented a Hadoop system for data storage, and classified the data using Map Reduce method. The results showed that the characteristic of "release date," followed closely by "rating" and "genre" were the most influential factors of success in the Korean film industry. The analysis in this study is considered groundwork for the development of software that can predict box-office performance.

모바일 디바이스의 성능 발전에 따라 높은 연산 능력을 요구하는 어플리케이션이 증가하고 있다. 3D 프로세싱, 영상 인코팅, 벡터 이미지 처리 등 연산량이 많아 기존에 데스크탑 컴퓨터에서 처리하던 작업들이 모바일 디바이스로 이전되고 있다. 그러나 모바일 디바이스 하드웨어의 발전 속도와 상이하게 사용자의 모바일 디바이스 교체 주기는 발전 속도를 따라잡지 못하고 있다. 따라서 추가적인 비용부담 없이 모바일 디바이스의 연산 능력을 향상시키기 위해 Mobile Cloud Computing(MCC)의 필요성이 대두되고 있다. MCC는 다수의 모바일 디바이스 리소스를 통합 관리하고 자원 서비스를 제공함으로써 작업 처리 및 자원 고가용성등의 성능 향상이 가능하다. 본 연구에서는 MCC 인프라 구축 방법인 Mobile Resource Integration(MRI)와 MRI에 적용되는 오프로드 방법을 제안한다. 모바일 디바이스로만 구성된 MRI는 분산된 모바일 디바이스로 작업를 분할 전송 처리는 방법이다. 이를 통해 중거리 및 원거리 통신망 연결이 어려운 경우에 단일 모바일 디바이스의 작업 처리 대비 높은 향상 속도를 보인다.

The purpose of this study is to explore characteristics of engineering students' everyday creativity compared with those of undergraduate students. For this, we investigated whether there were differences in undergraduates' everyday creativity according to majors, gender and grade. Everyday creativity can be defined as thinking and activities producing useful and suitable personal products, and to solve problems in a new and unique ways. Thus everyday creativity is reported to be universal ability creative people can express in their everyday life. Eight hundred and fifty seven students from three universities in three Korean regions responded to Everyday Creativity Scale. Our findings show that firstly, there were significant differences in undergraduates' everyday creativity by majors and gender. Whereas there were no differences in the same survey by grade. Engineering students obtained significantly lower score of everyday creativity as well as its sub-scales. Also, there were significant differences in everyday creativity's sub-factors by gender. Based on these findings, practical implications for creativity education are discussed with particular attention to learner's individual variables.
