본 논문은 지방에 소재하고 있는 지역 공과대학의 공학소양교육에 대해 연구한 것이다. 기업의 대학교육에 대한 평가, 대학 및 이공계 지원 학생수의 감소, 고등학교 교과과정의 변화 등 공학교육 전반에 대한 환경 변화에 대응하여, 기초과학, 전산 및 교양 등 공학소양교육에 대한 개선 방안을 모색하기 위해, 현재 진행되고 있는 홍익대학교 과학기술대학의 공학소양교육에 대해 분석해 본 것이다. 이를 위하여 본 대학의 교수, 재학생 및 졸업생을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였다. 설문조사 결과와 기업의 공학교육에 대한 요구사항을 분석하여 공학소양교육 개선에 대한 기본 방향을 설정하였다. 즉, 수요자 중심 교육, 산업현장 적응력 제고, 문제 해결 능력 강화 및 공학 설계 능력 배양을 개선된 공학소양교육의 기본 방향으로 정립하였다.

ABEEK recommends convergent engineering projects to nurture creative problem-solving ability for 1st year engineering students through 'Creative Engineering Design' course. However, 1st year engineering students, who have not yet studied core subjects in engineering, have difficulties understanding and coping with the challenges posed by the engineering-related projects. For this reason, the educational objectives of this course are usually frustrating to achieve by the instructor. In this paper, by using the problem-solving process and skills of critico(-creative) thinking, we prepare guidelines for creative engineering design education that allow 1st-year students to effectively participate in engineering projects without a complete understanding of the design process which is to be studied. Also, we present a case study that applies the guidelines to an on-going creative engineering design course and discusses the outcomes by showing student-generated works. The results showed that the intuitive content and everyday expression of critico(-creative) thinking education enabled the instructor to effectively guide their students through the requirements of engineering projects without relying on advanced engineering design methods, and that the application of these guidelines also helped improve students' communication skills, including presentation. We show that the guidelines for creative engineering design education utilizing the problem-solving process and skills of critico(-creative) thinking is not only contributing to achieving the educational objectives of the creative engineering design course but can also be an educational paradigm that incorporates critico(-creative) thinking education into engineering education.

The main purpose of this study was to develop a program outcomes assessment tool using reflection journal. Reflection journal has recently come to gain more attention from school as an alternative assessment tool. Although numerous studies reconfirmed the educational importance and value of reflection journal as an assessment tool, research on the assessment tool of the engineering accreditation, based on education view is scarce. After literature reviews about the case studies on the program outcomes assessment, this study, to analyse the current assessment tools, and then, examined the educational implications of reflection journal as a program outcomes assessment tool. This study suggested the assessment tool using reflection journal for PO6 (teamwork) and PO11 (engineering ethics), one of the most important assessment items in engineering accreditation. In this study, we used the performance criteria, assessment criteria, rubric, and closed the loop to measure the teamwork and engineering ethics. The result of this study is significant in terms of guiding the future evaluation system development for program outcomes.

In this paper, the present state of the experiments in the mechanical engineering education is analyzed and the improving methods of the experimental education are presented. Data at twelve universities are collected. In spite of the general understanding of the importance of the experiments, the portion of the experiments is less than 10%. It shows the need to increase the experiments. Experiments for basic mechanics are fairly well performed, but experiments for applied subjects would be strengthened. Several improving methods such as systematic support for experiments, use of the exclusive assistants for experiments, and so on are discussed.

The skill that meets the intellectual and technical requirements in workplace is called hard skill. The counter part of it is 'softskills' which enhances an individual's interactions, job performance and career prospects. It becomes more necessary skill as society changes. In this paper we first show the demand for the softskill improvement education for engineering major students. Then we introduce a 'softskill improvement education' program developed by the "Center for innovative engineering education" in a University. The contents of the program are chosen by the needs of society, companies that hire our students, ABEEK educational objectives and consulting from professors. To improve the skills we used various activities as tools which are mentioned and introduced. The evaluation of the program results are discussed. We suggest some ways to improve the program.

The creative problem-solving becomes one of the most important cognitive skills in the engineering education. As AI and automation technology(of 4th Industrial Revolution) penetrate our everyday life, its role as a human ability is highlighted. In this paper, we examine the relation between the creative problem-solving and the critical thinking, and the usefulness of the latter in the engineering education. To sum up, the critical thinking is the pre-conditon of the creative problem-solving.

Recently, the number of applicants for the engineering college is gradually decreased all over the nation. Additionally, the concerns of fall of freshman scholastic ability are raised due to the incomplete high school education. Moreover, the inferior circumstance and supports drive local universities into a corner. Therefore, the local universities endeavor in order to improve the quality of basic engineering education, and study the countermeasure against the crisis. In this paper, we derive several ideas in order to enhance the basic engineering education qualities. And the enhancement plans for the basic engineering education are proposed. Results in this paper will be helpful for engineering college to enhance the basic engineering education as reference materials.

It was only 2010 when start-up education spread to undergraduate education in South Korea. Start-up education was conducted so late that there are insufficient studies of evaluation and feedback on the effectiveness of start-up education. Education is a complex concept of teaching people in a desirable direction and developing their inherent abilities. Based on this, start-up education can be defined as cultivating students' entrepreneurial spirit internally and making them exhibit start-up competence externally by teaching them the knowledge, skills and attitudes necessary for business start-up and developing abilities such as creativity, challenge spirit and problem-solving skills. This study conducted pre and post survey to check if the education camp for the technology start-up, which is a practice-oriented start-up education, has an effect on the change of the participating students' perceptions about the business start-up. This study would analyze various factors of college students' business start-up through a factorial analysis so that the quantitative accumulation of start-up education can lead to a qualitative change and propose measures for the management of the quality of the education.

The late industrial structures have been changed rapidly. Thus the educational institutes and businesses should be able to react with speed to the change of paradigm. The importance of talent who is taped and leads to epochal and social trend of change has been strongly emphasized. Recently with the phenomena of technical fusion and composition it is emphasized that the requested talent by an enterprise is the multi professional person who has the diverse professional technology and the ability of the solving problem. Changing a person who requires from an enterprise the upbringing goal of the educational institute undergo a great many changes. Thus analyzing the required talent by an enterprise, the purpose of this study is to suggest the educational program to train the multi professional person by the example of the operation of innovative engineering education program financially supported by Minister of Education, Science and Technology.
