Women in engineering subject were developed for women included engineering education in Korea. Women in the predominantly male-oriented college of engineering which is afflicted by the high dropout rate and the low employment rate of coeds in their majoring fields because of the die-hard male dominant culture. In order to resolve the related problems, Our University has been actively engaged in a movement called "Women into Engineering" (WIE) to raise the gender cognitive awareness and to train women engineers for highly qualified work force. As part of the movement, a subject called "Women in Engineering" that focuses on the gender cognitive perspective is effective to reduce the dropout rate and to land a job inside their fields by stimulating their interest in their specialty made soft/hard skills. The study was conducted a survey of the coeds who have completed the "Women in Engineering" course to evaluate the degree of satisfaction perceived, and a t-test through comparing the group of the coeds and a group of coeds who have not taken the course. The results showed statistically significant responses indicating that both groups of coeds would like to see WIE offer more basic engineering courses like "Women in Engineering." This may lay the foundation to offer other major engineering courses for juniors and seniors that emphasize the gender cognitive approach.

Purpose: This descriptive study was conducted to compare the teaching status, utilization of the teaching materials, and the need to solve matters of sex education between the school health educators and teachers working in an elementary school in Busan. Method: 182 school health educators and 125 teachers participated in the research. Data was collected using a self-administered questionnaire, and analyzed by frequency and x2 -test using the SPSS WIN 10.0 Program. Results: While school health educators carried out most of the sex education in the extra curriculum and physical education class, teachers did in the regular curriculum and physical education class. Regarding the utilization of the teaching materials on sex education, although the majority of school health educators used the teacher's manual, only a few teachers used it. Most of the school health educators used the ICT teaching materials while only half of the teachers did. Regarding the methods to solve matters on sex education, school health educators responded that a sex-related subject should be combined with a health subject, and an independent sex-related subject was necessary. The teachers, however, responded that it was necessary to secure enough time for sex education, the sex-related subject combined with a health subject was necessary, and there is a need to designate a sex educator. Conclusion: School health educators utilized more teaching materials for sex education and suggested more active methods to solve matters related to sex education. Therefore, school health educators should be more active as sex educators, and the subject of sex education should be adopted as a regular course.

This study investigated the effect of supportive nursing care including modified guided imagery on the discomfort, self- esteem, erythrocyte semdimentation rate(ESR) and quality of life(Q. L.) in persons with rheumatoid arthritis (R. A.). The purpose was to contribute to the development of theoretical nursing care to enhance the Q. L. of persons with chronic illness. From Nov. 22, 1990 to May 2, 1991, 49 patients registered at a rheumatic clinic at one general hospital in Seoul, were accepted according to the research criteria as subjects for this study. Among these, 26 were selected for an experimental group to he treated with an interpersonal interview and modified guided imagery, the other 23 became the control group not treated for the purpose of measuring and comparing the effect of the treatment. Statistical analysis was done by a SAS program for X$^2$-test, unpaired t -test, Pearson correlation coefficients and factor analysis. The results were as follows : 1. The pre-experimental discomfort level of the total subject group averaged 25.42(S. D. ＝8.77), and the difference between the pre /post experimental discomfort levels of the two groups was not statistically significant. 2. The pre - experimental self- esteem scores of the total subject group averaged 27.48(S. D. ＝3.95), and the difference between the pre /post experimental self -esteem scores of the two groups was not statistically significant. 3. The pre - experimental Q. L. scores of the total subject group averaged 28.70(S. D. ＝5.99), and the difference between the pre /post experimental Q. L. score of the two groups was statistically significant (t＝2.1748, df＝47, p＝ .0347), 4. The pre - experimental mean of the ESR of the total subject group was 34.48(S. D. ＝19.50) mm, and the difference between the pre /post expeimental ESR scores of the two groups was not statistically significant. 5. The Family support scores of the total subject group averaged 41.28(S. D. ＝10.27). 6. The total subject group 0.L. score was correlated with self-exteem score (r＝ .3984, p＝ .0046). In this study, supportive nursing care including modified guided imagery increased the quality of life scores for this group of persons with R. A. significantly. So the concept of supportive nursing care of this study may be effective in enhancing the quality of life persons with chronic illness. Further investigations related to the methodology and with other groups of clients was recommended.
