The purpose of this study is to correlation analysis between technological problem-solving traits and engineering design competency. To this end, correlation analysis and regression analysis between technological problem-solving traits and engineering design competency were used to analyze the relationship between each other. To collect data on individual characteristics, technological problem-solving traits, and engineering design competency, a survey was conducted with university students. As a result of the analysis, there was no difference in engineering design competency by gender, but there was a difference in technological problem-solving traits. There was no difference in technological problem-solving traits by major, but there was a difference in engineering design competency. As a result of correlation analysis, the correlation was found. In the case of regression analysis, a statistically significant result was found in the problem-solving trait domain, and the regression analysis model was found to be suitable. The results of the analysis of differences in engineering design competency according to technological problem-solving traits showed that the effective problem solvers were significantly higher.

The core issue of ethical problem solving in engineering is to understand what exactly happened and to define its nature. Problems often arise mostly in morally complex situations. Traditional philosophical theories usually focus on extreme conflicts of interest and suggest moral theory-centered problem solving methods. However, these methods are not only difficult to specifically apply to real situations, but also are likely to fail to deal with actual moral issues in engineering fields. This study aims to develop more desirable ethical problem solving methods, based on STS (Science and Technology Studies) and engineering ethics combined. First, we have examined the engineering ethics with implications of an STS perspective, then have analyzed traditional ethical problem solving methods in a critical point of view. This study will suggest a new ethical problem solving method named Matrix Guide, based upon those analyses. Specifically, this study classifies four stages of problem definition, analysis, solving, and feedback. Here, we focus on how to combine technological and non-technological factors in each stage, when we are facing morally complex situations in engineering sectors.

Problem-based learning (PBL) in engineering education has been implemented in various ways. The wide range of PBL methods sometimes creates difficulties in implementing PBL. The purpose of this study was to identify the major variables that a teacher considers in PBL designs for an engineering course and suggest specific PBL methods according to the PBL design variables. This study was conducted using a review research method involving 21 studies from a range of engineering education fields. The results showed that the major variables that engineering professors need to consider when applying PBL are the authenticity of the PBL problem and the method of providing knowledge or information that the learners must know to solve the given problem. Based on the two variables identified, the following four types of PBL methods for engineering education are suggested: 1) lecture-based problem, 2) guided problem-based learning, 3) problem-based learning and 4) co-op problem-based learning.

Amonng many creative problem-solving methodologies, the TRIZ with practicality and applicability has been utilized a lot in practice and education. This research introduced the TRIZ course for engineering problem-solving training to engineering college students. Then, a survey about students' ability to solve engineering problems after the TRIZ course were analyzed statistically. Finally, problem-solving cases of industry in each team project were examined. It is proved that an understanding of the TRIZ should be confirmed on that can be applied and utilized and can be linked to well performing team projects. Therefore, it is determined that more active efforts are required for the development of TRIZ learing methods to improve the education system to help students improve comprehension for students in creative problem-solving skills.

In this paper, we propose a unified method to solve the various robust filtering problem for a class of uncertain discrete time systems. Generally, to solve the robust filtering problem, we must convert the convex optimization problem with uncertainty blocks to the uncertainty free convex optimization problem. To do this, we derive the robust matrix inequality problem. This technique involves using constant scaling parameter which can be optimized by solving a linear matrix inequality problem. Therefore, the robust matrix inequality problem does not conservative. The robust filter can be designed by using this robust matrix inequality problem and by considering its solvability conditions.

Problems solved by the TRIZ method have been developed and applied in many fields ranging from management as well as engineering. Most of the problems occurring in the construction site should be applied immediately. To solve the problem of building engineering, formulation of the problem solving process using the TRIZ method is needed. This study classified and analyzed the problem solving process of architectural engineering technology in accordance with the procedures of TRIZ, and showed the case of solving problem in the field and the availability of TRIZ theory in architectural engineering. This paper shows that the TRIZ theory can be used as a tool for creative problem solving and cost reduction in architectural engineering.

We consider a satellite mission scheduling problem, which is a promising problem in recent satellite industry. This problem has various considerations such as customer importance, due date, limited capacity of energy and memory, distance of the location of each mission, etc. Also we consider the objective of each satellite such as general purpose satellite, strategic mission and commercial satellite. And this problem can be modelled as a general knapsack problem, which is famous NP-hard problem, if the objective is defined as to maximize the total mission score performed. To solve this kind of problem, heuristic algorithm such as taboo and genetic algorithm are applied and their performance are acceptable in some extent. To propose more efficient algorithm than previous research, we applied a particle swarm optimization algorithm, which is the most promising method in optimization problem recently in this research. Owing to limitation of current study in obtaining real information and several assumptions, we generated 200 satellite missions with required information for each mission. Based on generated information, we compared the results by our approach algorithm with those of CPLEX. This comparison shows that our proposed approach give us almost accurate results as just less than 3% error rate, and computation time is just a little to be applied to real problem. Also this algorithm has enough scalability by innate characteristic of PSO. We also applied it to mission scheduling problem of various class of satellite. The results are quite reasonable enough to conclude that our proposed algorithm may work in satellite mission scheduling problem.

Many methods have been suggested for a creative problem solving approach. TRIZ approach is ranked top in its practical application because it is originated from the real patent analysis. This approach is assumed to be generic which can be applied to any types of problems regardless of problem type and its domain. The objective of this study is to propose a creative problem solving approach using TRIZ's contradiction analysis, then introduce a case study of applying this approach to a creative design coursework. Main topic covers a creative problem solving approach, a problem definition using TRIZ contradiction analysis, finding invention principles, and problem solving from the generic approach. For the course project, Roborobo tool is adopted to implement the design concept. This coursework helps students finding a general problem solving approach, and applying a generic solution for their specific problem domain.
