U.S. Congress established the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award (MBNQA) program in 1987 to recognize U.S. organizations for their achievements in quality and business performance and to raise awareness about the importance of quality and performance excellence as a competitive edge. The Baldrige Award was envisioned as a standard of excellence that would help U.S. organizations achieve world-class quality. Recently the U.S, Congress approved legislation that made education and health care organizations eligible to participate in the Award Program. These criteria are applied to evaluate two academic departments (Computer Science & Industrial Systems and Electrical Engineering) at Yonsei University. It was an informal evaluation performed by the undergraduate students who took quality Engineering course. Evaluated total scores turn out to be 522.5 and 548.5 for both, respectively. According to the MBNQA diagnosis, this level of score represents that there are some areas or work units which need to be improved. We hightlight them so that they can be used as feedback information.

This study is a comparative study before and after a single group to identify the effect of convergence class operation on the self-directed learning ability, problem-solving ability and major satisfaction of nursing students in the social-tailored curriculum. The survey was conducted on 79 nursing students from C University. Self-directed learning ability, problem-solving ability and major satisfaction level have been improved since application before applying convergence class. Through this study, we hope to open and operate various curricula in nursing colleges that meet the needs of the community, provide students with various opportunities, cultivate self-directed learning skills, problem-solving skills, and major satisfaction so that learners can solve problems themselves in order to maximize their effects, and develop various contents in the university.

Korea has recently invested much of its effort in fostering talents in scientific fields to establish a foundation for sustainable future growth. From this perspective, the ministry of education has come up with a special rule aimed at achieving the substantiality of engineering schools in universities. The ministry has been providing educational support by providing a tech-innovation center, industry-oriented education, and policies such as PRIME. Despite this support, most students in the natural science field end up being hired in fields not related to their majors. There has been a growing opinion regarding the need for career education for these students. In this research, based on a social cognitive career theory (SCCT) model that provides a comprehensive understanding of career development, this research would like to practically examine the relationship among college students' career preparation behaviors and influencing variables, such as grit, career decision-making self-efficacy, outcome expectation, and major interest. Data from 153 natural-science majors at A college in Korea were collected and analyzed using path analysis. The result was that the data strongly supported the model explaining the relationship between career preparation behaviors and influencing variables. Based on this result, we propose that career education that can promote grit, career decision-making self-efficacy, outcome expectation, and major interest is required to encourage students in the field of the natural sciences to pursue career preparation behaviors related to their majors.

Purpose: This study was to notify improvements needed in Cultural studies and Basic subjects to make Ophthalmic optic major curriculum qualitatively better, based on demand for cultural studies and basic subjects on and off the campus. Methods: A survey with questionnaires were carried out for both students and opticians in different provinces. For students, Gyunggi province, Gyunman province, Jeonnam province, and Jeonbuk province, and for opticians Seoul, Daejeon, Gyunggi province, and Jeonbuk province were selected. Results: Students' demand for expanding English courses in Foreign language curriculum was the highest and had significant difference between 2-years college and 3 or 4-years college ( p<.01), and opticians' demand differed from 2-years college and 3-years college ( p<.05). Students' demand for expanding Biology courses in science curriculum was the highest, and also a difference in expansion demands for Biology and physics subjects between 2-years college and 4-years college ( p<.05). There was also a difference in expansion demands for Vocational ethics and Management subjects in Basic subjects between 2-years college and 4-years college ( p<.05), and for Vocational ethic subject demands between college students and opticians ( p<.001), but for Management subject, both students and opticians demanded it to be expanded highly. Conclusions: Expansion and reinforcement in Management subject in Ophthalmic optic major was needed, as both Ophthalmic optic major students and opticians had the highest demand for this subject.

In this paper, the traditional curriculum model for engineering education, called simple hierarchical model, is critically reviewed and the problems of this curriculum model are discussed. Then a new curriculum model for engineering education is proposed to overcome the problems of simple hierarchical model and to provide an innovative education for engineering students. This new curriculum model for engineering education, called $\Pi$-structure, consists of the General Attainments Program, the Fundamental Major Program, and the Advanced Major Program, with the three components stacked in $\Pi$ shape where the first two programs are put in parallel and the third program are put on their top. The necessity, feasibility and various benefits of the $\Pi$-structured education system are widely discussed in the paper.

This study investigated the relationships among major satisfaction, nursing professionalism, and college life adaptation of the nursing students in order to present basic data to assist in adaption of college life. The study subjects were 553 nursing students from two universities in K and P cities by self-report questionnaire survey. Data were collected between November 7 and November 25, 2016. The data were analyzed through frequency analysis, descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Scheffe test, Pearson correlation coefficient, and hierarchical regression using SPSS 21.0 program. As a result, major satisfaction, nursing professionalism, and college life adaptation averaged 3.86(out of 5), 3.97(5), and 3.34(5) respectively. There was a significant positive correlation between major satisfaction and nursing professionalism, college life adaptation on nursing students. In addition, nursing professionalism had moderating(F=8.460, p=.004) and partial mediating (${\beta}=.21$, p<.001) effects between major satisfaction and college life adaptation among nursing students. In conclusion, nursing professionalism is a very important factor in the effects of major satisfaction of nursing students on college life adaptation. Therefore, in order to promote college life adaptation of nursing students, and increase their major satisfaction, it is necessary to develop and apply an educational program that can establish the right nursing professionalism.

The purpose of this study is to present the overall landscape of Comparative Education study in teacher training program at universities in Korea. The Comparative Education in Korea is relatively young without a lengthy tail on its name and still on the way of upgrading itself, however various efforts are gathering for the development of Comparative Education. With this understanding, this paper diagnoses the current status of Comparative Education in Korea by analyzing 1) the number of institutions which provide Comparative Education lectures for their teacher training program, 2) aims of Comparative Education teaching, 3) curricular and course titles, 4) teaching methods and textbooks, and 5) current issues and problems currently laid on Comparative Education in Korea designated by actual lecturers and professors who are in charge of Comparative Education lectures. The historical development of Comparative Education in Korea will be briefly presented at the beginning part of the chapter. To gauge the comparative position of Korean Comparative Education, the second half of this paper introduces the cases of Comparative Education at universities worldwide, presenting various countries' status of Comparative Education along with their developmental status. As the first research which pays an attention on the current figure of Comparative Education in Korea, it will form an impetus on why we should teach college students about comparative education and on what next step should be carried for further development of Comparative Education at universities based on the comparative understanding of other countries. Since it is in the transitional stage in terms of its development, it would be critical to have a self-analysis of the current status, which will help to lay the comprehensive understanding background for designating the future direction of its development.

1995년 5원 31일에 단군이래 최대의 개혁이라고 언론 매체들이 보도할 정도로 혁신적인 교육정책이 발표되었다. 또, 1996년 2월 9일에는 2차 교육 개혁안이 제시되었다. 이런 정책들이 추진되면서 우리나라 대학교육체계가 크게 변화하고 있다. 그 중에서도 학부제의 도입이 대학의 학사제도 개혁에서 최대의 관심사가 되고 있다. 1995년 말에 우리 나라 전대학의 1/3이 넘는 64개 대학이 96학년도부터 학부제를 추진하겠다고 발표하였다. 그러나 대학의 다양화와 자율성이 강조되면서 학부제에는 통일된 모형이 없으며 다양한 모습으로 학부제가 구성되고 있다. 특히 산업공학은 학문의 특성상 인접 학문이 다양하므로 학부제를 구성할 때 소속될 학부의 선택을 어렵게 하고있다. 앞으로 수년 내에 대학 지원 예정자들의 자연 감소와 대학 교육에 대한 사회적인 인식의 변화로 대학 교육 산업에도 소비자 중심시대가 도래하게 된다. 따라서, 학부제의 도입시에 산업공학의 소속과 역할도 소비자 중심 시대에 적합하게 결정되어야 할 것이다. 교육 서비스의 직접 소비자인 대학 입학생들에게 자유로운 전공 선택권을 갖게 하고, 교육 서비스의 간접 소비자인 기업에는 복합 학문의 기술 인력을 제공할 수 있는 학부제의 모형을 제시한다.
