IT technologies are closely related to our daily life, and we are experiencing the emergence of new IT devices every day. The ongoing rapid progress of IT technology results in the increasing demand of experienced software & hardware engineers, and leads to the short life cycle of lab kits. However, the normally small to medium sized manufacturers of lab kits usually cannot even afford to support timely update and upgrade of their own kits. In this paper, we propose a way of effectively running an IT course by building a Raspberry Pi based kit. Raspberry Pi has features that allow us to not only timely update/upgrade the kit, but also expose students to various IT fields.

Recently, as the importance of computational thinking skills has increased, several schools have opened and operated software courses for all students. Software education aims to creatively solve various problems based on coding, but it is difficult to motivate non-major learners who do not have engineering knowledge or are not interested in the IT field. Motivation for learning plays an important role in improving learners' concentration and learning efficiency. In this paper, a method of motivating non-major learners for software subjects was studied and the results were evaluated through a questionnaire.

The purpose of this study was to verify the educational effects of career guidance classes, which are now included in regular course offerings by universities. To this end, the self-efficacy of college students regarding career decisions and their degree of career maturity was measured as effect variables. The subjects of the study included 33 sophomores who took 15 weeks of career guidance classes provided by four-year universities. Pretest-posttest design and the paired t-test were conducted for verifying the differences before and after taking career guidance courses. According to the results of the analysis, first, university students' self-efficacy in career decision-making was higher after taking the career guidance courses, indicating a statistically significant difference. Second, the t-value for the difference before and after taking the career guidance courses was indicating that there was a slight statistically significant improvement. These results are meaningful in that they proved that career guidance courses in higher education had the educational effects of improving self-efficacy in career path decisions and the career maturity of college students.
