Abstract

Convergence education, which is operated by many engineering colleges, is mainly led by government-led projects. Convergence majors are established in consideration of the research field of the university professors rather than systematically analyzing the needs of the industry. The purpose of this study is to present the directions of convergence technology education related to new industry fields by analyzing industry needs. Participants were 299 industrial workers in various fields. Instrument consisted of three parts: necessity for convergence education, demand for convergence new technology education from industry perspective, and opinions about undergraduate convergence education. As a result, it was found that the level of awareness of industry needs for fusion technology education was high, and it was confirmed that there is a high demand for IoT convergence, bio-health, advanced new material, and renewable energy fields among convergence technology fields. In addition, the results of the industry demand for convergence new technology education were presented. The suggestions for expectations, problems, and improvements in undergraduate education were presented and implications for convergence technology education were discussed based on the results of the study.

공과계열 대학에서 운영되고 있는 융합교육은 대체로 정부주도의 사업에 의해 주도되고 있으며 해당 대학의 소속 교수진 전공 및 연구 분야를 고려하여 개설되고 있다. 이 연구의 목적은 최근 부각되고 있는 신산업 분야 융합기술교육에 대한 산업체의 요구를 분석함으로써 융합기술교육에 대한 방향을 제시하고자 하였다. 연구참여자는 산업체에 근무하는 299명의 산업체 종사자들이다. 수요조사도구는 융합교육에 대한 필요성, 산업체 관점에서의 융합신기술교육에 대한 요구, 학부융합교육에 대한 의견으로 세 가지 부분으로 구성하였다. 연구결과 융합기술교육에 대한 산업체의 필요성 인식 수준은 높은 것으로 나타났고 융합기술분야 중 IoT 융합분야, 바이오헬스, 첨단신소재, 신재생에너지 분야에 대한 교육 수요가 높은 것으로 확인되었다. 이와 함께 산업체 분야별 융합신기술교육에 대한 요구 결과를 제시하였다. 학부융합교육에 대한 기대, 문제, 개선사항에 대한 의견이 제안되었고 연구결과에 기반하여 융합기술교육에 대한 시사점에 대해서 논의하였다.
