The objective of this study was to propose a new framework for the creative engineering in the product family design coursework. The idea of product family design is a good solution to fulfill customer's requirements and to respond quickly for the technology change. Mass customization based on product family and product platform is a new paradigm with variety and customization through flexibility and quick responsiveness. In this study, the subjects of product family, product platform, product family map, platform leveraging strategy, morphological matrix and module based product family design were reviewed and presented. A new idea generation scheme utilizing SCAMPER method was combined with the morphological matrix approach. For the effective product family and platform design, creative efforts and approaches were utilized and implemented in the coursework process. This will help students to develop creative thinking and approaches in the engineering problem solving.

Modern times are called 'the system and fusion era'. One system has been compounded with the other system repeatedly, and the new systems form a great mixed system again and again. Discrete electronic devices have been integrated as one semiconductor system and have been unified as a great mixed system frequently. This study proposes a module based 2-year college electronic engineering curriculum focused on system and integrated circuit design. This curriculum is devised to be suitable for the industrial environment, especially in the school-industry cooperation, and is recomposed to promote the organic union of interdisciplinary courses. The newly designed course has been developed as a multi semester module model which enables a practical field training and in-depth study.

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.

Mechanical engineering curriculum has been studied through curriculum tree model and requirement of prerequisite courses. We analyze curriculum, curriculum system, course outcomes, design education of mechanical engineering programs in korean and foreign universities and present results to improve current curricular system. Current study would analyze, develop, and help mechanical engineering programs to prepare better curriculum for engineering education accreditation, to maintain accreditation. Through this analysis we try to provide reasonable model curriculum structure, prerequisite courses and necessary information about establishing various sub-major curriculum in mechanical engineering.

In this study, a class operation case of an engineering design project targeting a golf ball dispenser, a commercial product, was presented. The project was carried out according to the systematic engineering design approach suggested by Kim Jong-won and W. Beitz. This method broadly divides engineering design into four stages: 'product planning → conceptual design → basic design → detailed design'. In particular, the conceptual design stage is divided into 'functional structure diagram → detailed working principle exploration → various design alternatives creation → optimal design selection'. In the conceptual design, the input/output of the golf ball dispenser was defined and a functional structure diagram was prepared for it. Through this process, it was possible to subdivide the functions of the product and to easily explore the working principle for each. The searched working principles are devised as various design alternatives by various combinations, and for each proposal, the advantages and disadvantages were compared with each other to derive the optimal design alternative. In the basic design, the prototype layout was completed through failure mode analysis and the actual prototype was manufactured using it. Through the entire process, students participating in the class will be able to design commercial products in a systematic way and experience manufacturing prototypes within the department of mechanical engineering curriculum.

기업의 시장개척과 경쟁 우위 확보에 있어 인간친화형 혁신 제품의 개발이 중요해지고 있다. 인간친화형 혁신 제품의 개발은 기술, 인간, 미학, 비즈니스와 경영, 윤리와 법에 대한 전공 지식 및 제품 개발 전 과정에 대한 통합적인 시각과 경험을 필요로 한다. 이를 위한 교육과정은 학제간 및 산학간 연계를 통해, 교과과정을 이수한 인력이 별도의 교육 없이 제품 개발 업무를 수행할 수 있도록 개발되어야 한다. 본 연구는 국내 대학의 산업공학, 기계공학, 산업디자인학과와 국외 MIT, Stanford, Carnegie Melon 대학의 제품 설계 및 개발 교육 프로그램을 대상으로 (1) 목표 및 대상 파악, (2) 교과과정 특성분석, (3) 운영 모델을 파악한다. 이를 바탕으로 국내외 현황에 대한 비교 분석 결과를 제시하고 대상과 목표, 이수방식 등에 따른 다양한 학제간/산학간/프로그램 운용 등에 필요한 모델을 정리하고 그 활용방안을 제안한다.

This study analyzes the competency model of the Learning Factory at TU Darmstadt, Germany, aiming to derive implications for developing competency-based curricula in South Korean universities. It proposes an integrated model that combines theoretical knowledge with practical experience, allowing for the transformation of existing knowledge into necessary competencies for task execution. Additionally, it advocates for a learner-centered approach that enhances active engagement in the learning process, empowering students to take charge of their education. By implementing this integrated and learner-centered model, students can develop the transformative competencies required for future societal demands. This approach is expected to act as a catalyst for advancing competency-based education within South Korea's higher education system, ultimately fostering a more effective and responsive educational environment.

With the advent of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, there is an increasing demand for interdisciplinary studies in the realm of university education. Accordingly, this study sought to explore learners' perceived expectation factors for a modular curriculum, one of the primary strategies for curriculum revision in interdisciplinary departments, by applying the Expectation Theory. Learners' perceptions were measured pre and post during the second semester of 2022. The results confirmed that among the expectation factors, the selection factor significantly decreased after the course compared to before. Changes in the understanding and perceived difficulty level of tool utilization within the course may have influenced these results. The significance of this study lies in providing direction for curriculum revisions in interdisciplinary departments by analyzing learners' perceptions of the modular curriculum. Specifically, curriculum design should focus on reducing difficulties and cognitive burdens associated with educational tool utilization. Furthermore, considering that students' prior experience and understanding of educational tools can impact educational outcomes, it is crucial to factor these elements when designing a modular curriculum.
