Capstone design education is essential in the engineering design process according to the certification standards of ABEEK. Capstone design process should be properly trained in undergraduate courses in order to increase the design ability of systems, components and processes within realistic constraints. In this study, a modified design model as a capstone design education model was proposed to reduce the separation between the design process at industrial sites and the design process at university education. The modified design model based on 6-sigma methodology is composed of 6 design steps such as define, measure, analyse, design, verify, and report. Each step has appropriated design contents and tools, and is configured to generate design results. The proposed design model was directly applied to the capstone design class for automotive engineering in Kunsan National University, and it was confirmed that the proposed DMADVR methodology was a very useful design education model to enhance the design ability, teamwork ability and communication skills required by ABEEK.

The College of engineering's capstone design is student-team-centred learning based on project-based learning and is one of the most important courses for students aiming to be competent professional engineers capable of solving real industrial problems. Therefore, in order to resolve the capstone problems, various face-to-face contacts such as frequent industrial site visits, multiple meetings with diverse people including team members, and repeated contacts with course-supervising and team-advising professors are prerequisite processes. However, according to the transition to fully online education due to the global pandemic of COVID-19, capstone design courses for 2020 and 2021 were also conducted online. Based on the modified students' evaluations of educational quality (SEEQ) with 3 perspectives such as curriculum, teaching-staff and students themselves, this study compares their evaluations of offline capstone designs from 2013 to 2019 and online capstone designs in 2020 and 2021 in the context of COVID-19. In 3 perspectives, the difference in students' evaluation of the online capstone between the beginning and the end of the course shows a positive effect, which is better than the offline capstone. Also, in various dimensions for each perspective, the online capstone shows a better evaluation than the offline capstone. These findings suggest that the online capstone design curriculum can be expected to have educational effects as well as students' satisfaction with the online curriculum in the future.

Capstone design is a subject taught in a setting where students gather in a team, decide on their own selected topic, and collaborate with one another to perform a project. A fair assessment is very important in a team project-based capstone design course for students. Many instructors agree that harmonizing creative evaluation and outcome assessment is hard in capstone design class. In also, it is not easy to assess students' individual efforts and achievements fairly in accordance with team-based assessment practices. To resolve this issue in this paper, we have surveyed various engineering design education methodologies, and have modelled existing evaluating elements into a modified creative process and outcome assessment framework for team project assessment. In particular, we focused on a method of fairly assigning credits by combining team based and individual-level assessments. Analyzing students' achievement and grade evaluation and verifying the validity of the proposed method was performed.

토목공학은 사회와 인류 발전에 필요한 사회기반시설물의 건설과 관리를 주로 담당해 왔던 학문이기 때문에 고대 사회로부터 지속적으로 발전해 왔지만 그 변화의 속도나 첨단기술 도입의 측면에서는 다소 보수적인 측면이 있다. 또한 사회 인프라 전반을 다루기 때문에 구조, 지반, 수공, 환경, 측량, 건설관리 등과 같은 매우 광범위한 분야를 포함하게 된다. 주로 시장의 이익을 주요 목적으로 하는 제조업 기반의 학문 분야들, 예컨대 기계공학, 화학공학, 재료공학과는 다른 특성을 갖게 된다. 따라서 타 공학전공 분야에서 활용되고 있는 종합설계 개념을 공공기반의 이익을 목적으로 하는 토목공학 분야에 그대로 적용하는 데 는 다소 문제가 있을 수 있다고 본다. 그러므로 본 논문에서는 현재 연세대학교 사회환경시스템공학부에서 운영하고 있는 종합 설계과목의 교육내용과 변화, 그리고 운영방식을 소개.설명하여 토목공학 분야에 적합한 종합설계과목의 운영방법을 논의하고자 한다. 또한 학부 수강생들의 강의 평가결과 및 학습성과를 분석하여 개선된 종합설계과목의 타당성을 객관적으로 평가하고자 하였다.
