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.

This study aims to analyze the characteristics of students' understanding of artificial intelligence and mathematical concepts by developing and applying an artificial intelligence education program for mathematics convergence using robots. To this end, we analyzed the content standards of elementary artificial intelligence education to extract conceptual elements of artificial intelligence and identified mathematics achievement standards that can effectively integrate them. In particular, a five-session (15 classes in total) program was developed by selecting the units 'angle' and 'quadrilateral' suitable for utilizing the robot's movement and reorganizing the lesson to integrate the mathematics achievement standard with the artificial intelligence content elements. As a result of applying this to 22 fourth grade elementary school students over five months and analyzing the students' understanding revealed by topic of artificial intelligence content, the artificial intelligence education program for mathematics convergence using robots was helpful in students' understanding artificial intelligence principles and mathematical concepts. In addition, the use of robots was confirmed to improve students' understanding of artificial intelligence and mathematics as well as their participation in class by making them visually check a series of performing procedures.

The study in this paper considers how elementary school students' interest in mathematics and STEAM literacy could be promoted by conjoining the learning of mathematics with the learning of drone topics. Survey instrument was developed to measure student attitudes toward mathematics and science subjects and to evaluate student beliefs on learning mathematics embedded in science topics. Data were collected from elementary school students by administering pre- and post-tests: students were intervened with examples of math problems embedded in certain science contexts. The findings indicate that elementary school students' experience of solving mathematics problems embedded in science contexts positively affects the promotion of their attitudes toward, beliefs on science subjects and science and engineering career path selection. We hope that the mathematics program using the drone will be used in the classroom for STEAM.

The purpose of this paper is to propose convergence education for creative manpower training between foreign language and Information technology department's students. Academia and industry, and government have attempted a number of changes and efforts for the employment of university graduated students and they have also promoted various projects and plans to suggest a better way. But the graduates employment rate is still left as serious social problem. To solve this problem, we seek to propose convergence education plan to enhance the employment rate of foreign language department that is relatively low unlike other departments. This proposal will make a new paradigm in education - Creativity, Difference, Locality, and Convergence. Based on these paradigms, it is expected to overcome the limitation of labor market.

Second, the research analyzed the use of artificial intelligence in convergence education from an educational perspective and examined the current policy direction in South Korea. Through this analysis, the research examined the direction of Christian education in the era of artificial intelligence. In particular, the research critically examined the perspectives of continuity and change in the context of Christian education in the era of artificial intelligence. The research reflected upon the fundamental educational purposes of Christian education that should remain unchanged despite the changing times. Furthermore, the research deliberated on the educational curriculum and teaching methods that should adapt to the changing dynamics of the era. In conclusion, this research emphasizes that even in the era of artificial intelligence, the fundamental objectives of Christian education should not be compromised. The utilization of artificial intelligence in education should serve as a tool that fulfills the mission permitted by God. Therefore, Christian education should remain centered around God, rooted in the principles of the Bible. Moreover, Christian education should aim to foster creative and convergent Christian nurturing. To achieve this, it is crucial to provide learners with an educational environment that actively utilizes AI-based hybrid learning environments and metaverse educational platforms, combining online and offline learning spaces. Moreover, to enhance learners' engagement and effectiveness in education, it is essential to actively utilize AI-based edutech that reflects the aforementioned educational environments. Lastly, in order to cultivate Christian learners with dynamic knowledge, it is crucial to employ a variety of teaching and learning methods grounded in constructivist theories, which emphasize active learner participation, collaboration, inquiry, and reflection. These approaches seek to align knowledge with life experiences, promoting a holistic convergence of faith and learning.
