Abstract

In this paper, mechatronics education in South Korea is analyzed and its improvement is proposed. For this purpose, discussion on the definition and evolution of mechatronics in South Korea, USA and EU is deployed first. It is revealed that most of the mechatronics education in USA and EU is remained in cross-disciplinary stage or curriculum stage, whereas that in South Korea is evolved to curriculum stage or organizational stage. The comparison of mechatronics curriculum between Korea and other countries and the problems of mechatronics education are included. The automation of machinery and factory plays one of major roles in mechatronics education in Korea, while mechatronics curriculum in USA and EU does not emphasize the automation. Mechatronics experiment in South Korea is organized to meet the National Qualification Test on mechatronics, and it is recommended to be more inventive. The way of improving the National Qualification Test of South Korea on mechatronics field is proposed. And, finally, efficient way of linking technical high school and university in mechatronics education is also proposed.

본 논문에서는 우리나라 메카트로닉스 공학교육을 4년제 대학을 중심으로 분석하였고 그 개선 방향에 관하여 논하였다. 메카트로닉스 공학의 정의어와 발전의 과정, 미국과 유럽대학의 메카트로닉스 공학교육과정에 관하여 분석하였다. 우리나라 대학의 메카트로닉스 공학교육과 외국의 메카트로닉스 공학교육을 분석한 결과 우리나라에서는 공장이나 기계의 자동화가 강조되어 있는 반면 구미에서는 자동제어분야의 교육이 강조되고 있음이 밝혀졌다. 국가 기술자격검정의 내용을 분석하였으며 공업계 고등학교와 대학교육간의 연계교육을 논하였다.
