This study aimed to develop an engineering design-based science education program for high school students and to investigate its effects on students' science-related attitudes and engineering design abilities. "Creating healthy shoes for maintaining proper posture program" was developed as an activity to come up with creative solutions using the methodology of an engineering design process to solve problems in daily life. The creating healthy shoes for maintaining proper posture program consisted of the following five stages: "defining the problem," "ingathering information related to the problem," "generating the solution," "implementing the best solution," and "evaluating the solution & reflecting." As a result of applying this engineering design-based science education program, it improved the high school students' science-related attitudes and engineering design abilities. Therefore, the program developed in this study has a positive effect on enhancing high school students' science-related attitudes and engineering design abilities. These findings imply that the continuous operation and expansion of activities incorporating an engineering design process in science education are necessary as a teaching and learning strategy for cultivating future science talents.

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.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the perceptions of scientifically gifted middle school students about their engineering design process according to gender and talent division. The instrument in surveying their perceptions about the engineering design process consists of 24 items (Likert 5 point type) five domains: problem definition, information collection and utilization, idea generation, inquiry performance, and teamwork (communication, cooperation, leadership). A total of 102 scientifically gifted students participated in the survey, according to gender (69 males and 33 females) and talent divisions (physics, biological sciences, software, mathematics, space-geological sciences, and chemistry). They had a high level of awareness of their engineering design ability. It is necessary to develop a customized gifted-education program so that their talent in their field of interest can be fully displayed according to the gender and talent division. In addition, the teaching and learning methods and strategies of the engineering design program for the scientifically gifted middle school students should be established to fully reflect the practical needs of the talented.

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.

The purpose of this paper is to design the curriculum by considering the experimental design and analysis for enhancing an engineer's creative problem-solving ability. This ability is one of the important objectives in modern engineering education. To achieve this purpose, first, it is suggested that the experimental design and analysis, a specific area of engineering education, is highly relevant to the creative problem-solving ability, one of the basic engineering competencies and of the final goals in engineering education. And also, the curriculum already introduced the experimental design and analysis in departments of mechanical engineering of universities are surveyed and reviewed. 59 papers are also analyzed to know how engineers applicate the knowledge of the experimental design and analysis to their activities. Finally, the module of engineering education curriculum introduced the experimental design and analysis to enhance effectively the engineer's creative problem-solving ability is suggested.

Education equipment for field programmable gate array (FPGA) based multimedia player design is introduced. Using the education equipment, an example of hardware design for color detection and augment reality (AR) game is described, and an example of syllabus for "Digital system design using FPGA" course is introduced. Using the education equipment, students can develop the ability to design some hardware, and to train the ability for the creative capstone design through conceptual, partial-level, and detail designs. By controlling audio codec, system-on-chip (SOC) design skills combining a NIOS II soft microprocessor and digital hardware in one FPGA chip are improved. The ability to apply wireless communication and LabView to FPGA-based digital design is also increased.

Well organized design based education is the one of the best way to develop the abilities needed for the engineer such as the recognizing and formulating a problem and then solving it creatively and systematically. In order for this, we prepared a course named 'Introduction to the Engineering Design' for the first-year students, which aims at developing creativity and ability to promote a project. Experiment-design mixed courses and theory-design mixed courses, where students have to solve various design problems, are provided for the higher grade students. In this paper, we are focused on the experiment-design mixed course for the second-year students which has been operating from two years ago. Here we show how the teamwork ability is improved. We also present how to operate the course in detail so that anyone can easily get the way to reach the outcomes needed for the engineers.

The purpose of this study was to develop the basic design principles for the engineering mathematics teaching model that supported college students to become collaborative problem solvers. For this purpose, the following four design principles were drawn from the steps of systems approach, especially with consideration of needs of engineering students, professors, curriculum and relevant research on mathematical education. As a result, the four design principles for the engineeering mathematics teaching model were drawn as follows: (1) Improve students' basic mathematical learning abilities through repetition and elaborative practice of the basic mathematical concepts and principles, (2) Develop students' problem solving abilities through collaborative projects or learning activities with peers, (3) Facilitate students' reflection and provide teacher's monitoring and prompt feedback during their learning process, and (4) Build up online learning environments that enable students to become self-regulated learners.

농업용 저수지 가운데 약 90 %는 1970년 이전에 축조되어 기후변화에 따른 가뭄 및 홍수 등의 자연 재해에 효과적으로 대응하지 못하고 있다. 저수지의 용수공급능력은 수자원의 확보와 저수지 규모의 결정 등을 포함하는 수자원공급 계획 수립에 필수적인 요소이다. 현재 다목적댐의 용수공급능력을 평가하는데 적용된 평가 기준은 최악의 갈수기 동안에도 용수공급을 보장할 수 있는 최대 공급량을 의미하는 보장공급량과 일정비율로 물 부족을 허용하는 방법을 의미하는 신뢰도, 통계적 지표인 회복도, 취약도 등의 기준을 사용하고 있다. 농업용 저수지의 용수공급 안정성을 판단하는 지표 중 하나인 이수안전도는 한발빈도와 물수지 분석를 이용하여 평가할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 한국농어촌공사에서 관리하는 주수원공 저수지를 대상으로 농업용 저수지의 설계한발빈도 및 최근 기상 및 유출량, 저수량의 변화를 고려한 물수지 분석과 시계열 빈도분석을 통해 재산정된 한발빈도를 이용하여 이수안전도를 평가하였다. 최근 기후변화에 따른 농업용 저수지의 이수안전도 변화로부터 설계 당시의 용수공급능력과 현재 용수공급능력을 비교하였으며, 본 연구의 결과는 기후변화로 인한 수문 사상 및 농업용수 수요 변화에 대응하여 농업용 저수지의 물공급안전도를 판단할 수 있다.
