In this paper, the author researched to enhance course outcomes while increasing the interest in engineering design through the 'Introduction to Engineering Design Course'. Deviating from the current practice of engaging in content-oriented lectures, the redesign of the weekly lecture has been conducted with a focus on learning achievement in order to enhance design competency, teamwork and communication skills, which are the goals of the PO3, PO6 and PO7, respectively. Moreover, assessment tools have been developed according to learning achievement, and rubrics, the measurement criteria, have been defined according to the respective assessment tools, along with course goals for learning achievement and results analysis. To enhance course learning achievement, as well as to induce interest in and satisfaction with the 'Introduction to Engineering Design Course', a design project utilizing a Boe-Bot robot has been carried out. An evaluation on learning achievement and lecture has identified an increase in learning achievement and interest in design in comparison with that of previous lectures.

An 'Introduction to Creative Engineering Design' course at College of Engineering at Chungnam National University is required for all freshmen. The objective of this course is to educate the freshmen with basic engineering design concepts and experiences in creative problem-solving approaches. It provides the students learning opportunities in solving engineering design problems through team efforts and creative approaches. Thus, this course emphasizes creative ideas and thinking, engineering design experiences to students over the course. This study presents the syllabus, the examples of PBL (problem based learning)-related activities as a team, and the results of the course evaluation and outcomes. Based on the results of this study, we can conclude that overall this course using PBL method had significant positive effects on the course outcomes and the creativity of the engineering freshmen in the department of environmental engineering at Chungnam National University. However, there are still efforts to be needed to improve the PBL-related activities in the course, including students' workload, financial supports, and team work.

대학은 교육개선을 통하여 교육 수요자인 학생에게 질 좋은 교육을 제공함으로서 교육 만족도를 높일 수 있으며, 대학 경쟁력을 강화시킬 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 교육개선의 일환으로 2010년부터 시행중인 전문대학교 공학기술교육인증(ETAC) 컴퓨터공학기술 분야에서 필수 이수 교과목인 종합설계의 대학별 운영 사례 비교 분석을 통하여 졸업생역량(PO)의 산학연계형 평가 방안을 제시하였다. 연구 결과, 종합설계 교과목 운영시 담당교수 이외에 산업체 인사가 참여하는 다면평가 방법과 더 나아가 종합설계 교과목 수업 운영으로 현장 실무자가 포함된 팀티칭 방법을 제안한다.

공학교육인증을 실시하면서 설계교육의 중요성을 인지하고 있다. 특히 종합설계의 경우 설계의 기능적 요소와 제한 요소를 반영하도록 하고 있다. 그런데 이전에는 설계교육을 체계적으로 하지 않아서 대학마다 설계교육과 평가방법에 대한 어려움을 가지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 종합설계 교과목 수행절차와 방법을 제시하고 이에 맞는 평가요소와 평가방법을 제시하고자 한다. 설계 수행절차에서는 설계의 기능적 요소와 제한 요소를 반영하여 설계를 진행하는 과정과 이 때 산출되는 결과물을 제시하여 설계 요소가 반영될 수 있도록 한다. 종합설계 교과목에 대한 평가는 팀별 평가와 개별 평가로 나누고 실제로 수행했던 평가 방법을 제안한다.

This study analyzes results of current Basic Design Engineering teaching and learning methods and makes suggestions based on its findings. To reach these conclusions, participants were 112 second-year students in Basic Design Engineering courses. In the results of t-test, there were significant statistics in learners' satisfaction, achievement of course outcomes and grades. Also the average of factors of the problem based learning strategy is higher than those of the project based strategy. Based on this study's findings, recommendations for effective teaching and learning strategies are made for Basic Design Engineering courses.

In this paper, we describe capstone-related courses in the Computer information department of Dongyang-Mirae University and propose a capstone design model for computer engineering discipline based on operating experiences during the last year. Class schedules and contents, etc are presented from the case studies of two courses on system analysis and design and graduation work(capstone design) opened in 2015. Towards the successful operation of capstone design targeted to training practical and talented professionals with creative problem-solving skills, we propose six execution steps along with principal activities and outputs: Course plan, Project plan, Development, Reporting, Evaluation of students and coursework, and Course feedback. The capstone design model of this study is characterized by presenting the necessity and importance of pre and post steps such as 'Course Plan' and 'Course reflux' from a macroscopic view and by applying software engineering techniques such as prototyping, configuration managements, etc to it.

We developed the introductory course for the systematic education of the engineering design. The main purpose of this course is to have students equipped with the basic skills to study advanced design courses and to stimulate student's inquisitiveness. The course consisted of student-centered activities to cultivate the creative thinking, teamwork skills, communication skills. In this article we discussed about the unique features of instructional design, operating methods and effectiveness of the course.

Normally, people think the results of engineering design project can be seen and be touched, however, it's not easy to develop such design subjects at IT related program. This matter turns into an initiative of Seoul Accord corresponding to the Washington Accord. In this paper, an engineering design project is developed from the lecture course that can hardly develop a touchable project due to the lack of expanse or the own characteristics of the course in the IT related program that follows the Washington Accord. An open-ended design project with the pre-defined design components and realistic constraints is developed for the Computer Network Design course. Each team consisted of 2 or 3 students performs the project for more than 5 weeks utilizing a software simulator, the Packet Tracer. In order to analyze the effectiveness, we have used various evaluation tools such as final presentation, peer evaluation, survey results, and mid/final exams. We concluded that the hard and soft skills of students have been improved considerably through the project.

Universities that hold engineering education accreditation emphasize the importance of design education. In particular, comprehensive design courses in the engineering field are designed to produce the result reflecting the functional and limiting factors of the design. Systematic design education is also important, but the application of multidisciplinary convergence education is very high in view of the comprehensive design curriculum as a creative education program. This study describes a case study of convergence of curriculum and engineering and design, focusing on the 2019 comprehensive engineering design subject of the researcher. For the collaboration between engineering and design, the process of developing students' ideas and applying them to actual results was presented as the procedures of planning and theme selection, content design, software design, presentation and evaluation. As a result, it is meaningful that the method of convergence between engineering and design was presented without focusing only on technology in the comprehensive design subject of engineering by applying a design that considers the user in producing the work.
