This study examines the efficiency of engineering education using DEA(data envelopment analysis) which is often used in the efficiency evaluation of public services. We evaluate 27 mechanical engineering departments according to academy-basis, general basis, and employment-basis considering students' academic level and input costs as input factors. Our empirical results suggest that an evaluation method using DEA can give us useful informations such as benchmarks to improve education specialization where it is desirable, decisions about whether a department should expand its gross input or not, and proper directions about which input factors should be controlled and how much control is needed.

The purposes of this study were; 1) to apply the network analysis to evaluation of students' laboratory reports, 2) to test the applicability of the systematic network analysis. For this purposes, 7th grade 88 students from 22 middle schools in Inchon city of Korea were selected and their laboratory reports were evaluated by a evaluation criterion network developed in this study. The evaluation criterion consisted of 4 categories and 10 subcategories. The results of this study suggested that the network analysis approach was suitable one for the evaluation of students' laboratory reports. This was supported by total score distribution, means/weight, Cronbach's ${\alpha}$ coefficient(0.70), and the subcategories' reliabilities. The resluts of the factor analysis indicated that the evaluation criterion network of this study had two factors.

Performance assessment is recognized as a proper evaluation method to integrate the teaching and learning process into the evaluation one and as an essential means to produce meaningful evaluation results. However, it has deteriorated into a teacher-centric evaluation method with the students excluded due to the cost and time issues and the heavy workload on the teachers. Those changes have affected the reliability of the assessment results. This study developed and applied a web-based performance assessment system by using Moodle, open source software, to help the teachers efficiently run performance assessment in school and the students increase their learning effects. As a result, it lifted the burden of system development from the shoulders of the teachers trying to do web-based performance assessment and solved the reliability issue raised in the old peer evaluation approach through diverse strategies offered by Moodle.

This study is attempted to propose a quality evaluation method of the materials for nutrition education by applying readability test of printed materials for nutrition education. It is significantly important for the teaching class with nutrition education materials to consider students understanding level and education materials topics or choosing words in developed printed materials. This study performed an evaluation of the readability of text in teachers' guidebook, which is devised for elementary school students' education material about sugar, sodium and trans-fat and attempted to estimate the developing materials through analyzing difficulty level of the text. We utilized "The Teacher's Guidebook for Cooking Activity" that had been developed for elementary school by Ministry Education Science and Technology, as the readability evaluation standard. Compared with the average score of readability about "The Teacher's Guidebook for Cooking Activity", $72.94{\pm}6.85$, "Sugar Guidebook" was 70.94{\pm}7.46, "Sodium Guidebook" was $68.76{\pm}14.50$, and "Trans-fat Guidebook" was $58.87{\pm}10.79$. Considering the subjects careers or ages, "The Teacher's Guidebook for Cooking Activity" has little deviation by the subjects careers or ages and was "intermediate" or "easy" level; however, "Sugar Guidebook", "Sodium Guidebook", "Trans-fat Guidebook" was "intermediate" or "difficult" level (p < 0.05). Readability score was especially low when the contents of some particular subjects were too professionalized or scientific terms were frequently used, and thes results were definitely seen in the "Sodium Guidebook" and "Trans-fat Guidebook". With Cloze test score, the readability evaluation will be using as an evaluation tool for the nutrition education materials.

Qualitative management and certification of higher education and higher education programs are important in Australia and Hong Kong. The purpose of the study is to analyze the higher educational Institute accreditation in Australia and Hong Kong and to provide basic data for the domestic evaluation accreditation system For this purpose, the analysis was conducted based on the analysis framework of Kis(2005), which was modified by the researchers in Tertiary Education Quality and Standards Agency(TEQSA) and Hong Kong Council for Accreditation of Academic and Vocational Qualifications(HKCAAVQ). The quality assurance approach in Australia and Hong Kong is common as 'accreditation' and focuses on other evaluation methods, evaluation data, nature of the report, evaluation purpose, evaluation result, and follow-up evaluation. Australia and Hong Kong had separate evaluation agencies for accreditation of higher education qualifications, degrees, and educational programs, and were performing accreditation at the independent institutions. Australia and Hong Kong do not agree with the evaluation standards of higher education institutions because of different academic system and qualifications system from Korea. Higher education institutions need to consider international interchange in terms of exchanging higher education human resources between countries. It is also necessary to conduct evaluation of higher education institutions with reference to higher education quality management standards.
