  • The relationship between education and work is of the greatest concern to individuals and society because they are the key drivers of growth and development. In the context of Industry 4.0, labor and educators are facing the challenges of big changes in the workplace. How to prepare undergraduate students for the world of employment has become the most important mission of higher education providers. This paper explored the competency gap in the labor market in Vietnam from the perspective of employees who have been dissatisfied with the current status. First, a qualitative method with the Delphi technique was applied to confirm this consensus in an employees' competency model. Then, the satisfaction level for each competency criterion was explored by applying the advance quantitative method, namely, best non-fuzzy performance approach. Lifelong learning was ranked first, followed by creativity and innovation, foreign languages, expertise and digitalization, adaptability, and finally, organizing and managing ability. Critical thinking and problem-solving were perceived to have the biggest gap. The order of competency satisfaction is useful in explaining the mismatch between education quality and labor market demand. The findings provide valuable guidelines for education managers who seek to bridge the competency gap and improve education quality.

  • 국내 평생직업능력개발 체계는 국가직무능력표준(NCS: National Competency Standards)을 중심으로 변화를 추진 중이다. NCS 중심의 직업훈련 체계가 성공적으로 정착하고 제 기능을 발휘하기 위해서는 고등교육의 중심인 4년제 대학에도 잘 적용되어야 한다. 그러나 4년제 대학의 경우 교과과정의 현장성 부재 문제가 지속적으로 제기되어 있고, 새롭게 출범한 대학연계형 일학습병행제 계약학과는 NCS기반의 자격을 교육과정의 중심에 두고 운영하도록 되어 있으나, 한국 기업의 현실을 고려한 표준모델의 부재로 인해 대학들이 신규 가입을 주저하고 있는 실정이다. 본 논문에서는 현재 운영 중인 코리아텍 일학습병행대학을 연구대상으로 하여 NCS기반 자격과 연계된 한국형 일학습병행대학의 표준모델을 개발하고, 이를 코리아텍 일학습병행대학 내 "기계설계공학과"에 실제 적용한 사례를 보인다. 또한 NCS기반 일학습병행대학 표준모델의 성공적 확산에 요구되는 다양한 시행방안을 관련 법 제도의 틀 안에서 도출하여 제시한다. 이러한 결과는 한국형 일학습병행대학의 확산을 촉진하고, 대학 및 기업의 참여동기를 제고하며, 궁극적으로는 NCS기반 일학습병행대학들이 평생직업능력개발의 한 축을 담당하는 데 크게 기여할 것으로 기대된다.

  • The Design Protection Act of Korea classifies industrial designs into examined-based and unexamined-based articles. For design application and registration under the DPA, applicable product for the design needs to be chosen in order for it to be registered. Clothing and personal belongings under class B in the classification list are subject to unexamined-based articles. A sound and logical classification system will lead to higher administrative efficiency as well as assurance of more convenience for the system users. This paper examines the suitability of the design classification for clothing and personal belongings and purposes to suggest improvements.

  • The Faster RCNN-based shellfish recognition algorithm is introduced for shellfish recognition studies that currently do not have any deep learning-based algorithms in a practical setting. The original feature extraction module is replaced by DenseNet, which fuses multi-level feature data and optimises the NMS algorithm, network depth and merging method; overcoming the omission of shellfish overlap, multiple shellfish and insufficient light, effectively solving the problem of low shellfish classification accuracy. In the complexifier test environment, the test accuracy was improved by nearly 4%. Higher testing accuracy was achieved compared to the original testing algorithm. This provides favourable technical support for future applications of the improved Faster RCNN approach to seafood quality classification.

  • This paper discusses the importance of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in enhancing performance and resistance of tennis rackets with the application of nanotechnology. This paper discusses how nanomaterials work toward making the equipment lighter, stronger, and more durable by combining CNTs with composite materials in Tennis Rackets. Distinctive properties of the CNTs, such as the very high strength-to-weight ratio and exceptional mechanical resilience, have been exploited in racket performance optimization for better power transmission, increased control on shots, and improved durability. Resistance to wear and tear is discussed in terms of the life of a CNT-enhanced tennis racket and its continued performance with time. The findings imply that the CNTs increase the security and overall performance of tennis rackets, hence promising further innovation in sports technology equipment and the various performances expected from users.

  • This article provides a comprehensive review of the entrepreneurial university concept and its place and role in the triple helix of university, industry, and government. This is increasingly important because stake-holders' expectations towards universities are growing; this growth in turn leads to increased pressure on universities to move beyond their traditional roles and models towards taking responsibility for economic development, large scale basic education and targeted further education and the development of value from research. These expectations provide opportunities for universities, but impose threats on the existing models and practices. It further elaborates on implications for university management, departments, faculty members and supporting organizations. Moreover it reflects on the meaning of the entrepreneurial university for stakeholders, i.e., university boards, regional and national policy and administrative bodies, funding agencies, the business community, university ranking institutions and the global university community overall. Recent literature on entrepreneurial universities is incomplete and mostly focused on the commercialization of research, technology transfer and the third mission of universities. The article expands the predominant thinking about entrepreneurial universities and gives a broader structured definition. Eventually the article shows the need for STI policy to intervene and measures for developing entrepreneurial universities further.

  • Entrepreneurs are valuable assets for any country. Rather than being confronted with new obstacles, they should be fostered and nurtured. Entrepreneurial firms have the power to influence how we live and work, in addition to producing jobs and contributing to economic progress. Entrepreneurs have the ability to change the world by creating diversified skill sets and profitable businesses that are vital to the advancement of our economies. How does one go about being a successful business, though? More resources are believed to be needed to create entrepreneurial environments in higher education that foster progressive ideas and innovation while also providing students with the practical knowledge and skills they need to navigate the troublesome, difficult, and uncertain situations that come with owning a business. This article will outline the scales of components from which to measure variables impacting universities' ability to encourage entrepreneurial behavior among students, based on the aforementioned significance of universities. This article is based on a survey of 507 students from different universities and backgrounds in Vietnam. The research methods used are Cronbach's alpha test and Structural Equation Modeling. From the research results, it can be seen that the university's environment plays a significant role in fostering entrepreneurial behavior among students.

  • E-learning is a planned effort towards providing interactive and experiential learning having flexibility in terms of time, place, pace, participation and accessibility. Globalization has set the stage for a social transformation of the world economy driven by technological innovation, emphasizing knowledge-based processes. While the tertiary education enrolments in wealthy nations have gone up incrementally, the same cannot be said to be right about developing economies. E-Learning can streamline enrolments to higher education, in developing nations by being a cost-effective and flexible alternative. The objective of this paper is to draw attention to the similarities in the national culture of these two countries and compare students' perception on e-learning in India and Sri Lanka along eight dimensions viz., viability, dependability, flexibility, inclusivity, power, pertinence, challenge and equitability. The results reveal that e-learning is equally popular among students from both countries, and they have a high perception score towards e-learning on each of the measured eight dimensions. Hence results are indicative of an opportunity of tapping the potential of e-learning in reaching out to a broader audience of underprivileged students and onboarding them into the knowledge economy.
