현재 이공계 고급인력의 경력이동은 매우 기형적인 패턴이다. 연구인력과 연구시설의 불균형이 심각하다. 본 연구는 고급인력의 경력이동과 관련된 문제점과 그에 따른 연구여건의 변화의 실태를 분석했다. 실태분석에 나타난 결과를 바탕으로 고급인력의 유동성을 국가적으로 최적화할 수 있는 정책방향을 틀을 제시하였다.

Since the 2000s, South Korea has made great efforts to nurture scientists and engineers. In 2004, the Special Act on Supporting Scientists and Engineers for Strengthening National Science and Technology Competitiveness was established to secure scientists and engineers and improve their qualities. This special act has served as a basis for official policies for nurturing and supporting scientific manpower and as a reference for various laws relevant to the issue. However, there is a debate about whether the term ''scientist and engineer'' (이공계 인력) used in this act is appropriate. Thus, this paper critically analyzed the concept of "Scientists and Engineers" from the perspective of inclusiveness, consistency and interconnection. As a result, it is found that interconnectedness is high, as the term is widely used in other laws, but that there is a lack of inclusiveness and consistence. In recent years, those who did not major in science and engineering are employed in jobs related to science and technology, although they would not be counted as ''science and engineering work force'' in the traditional sense of the term. This trend will grow further in the future. In response to these changes, it is necessary to expand or revise the definition of ''scientist and engineer'' to include a broader range of people engaged in science and technology fields (과학기술인).

This study examines the job changes and the coincidence of job and major In the case of the youth, science and engineering graduates in Korea. The pattern of job changes and the coincidence of job and major get observed in the Unemployment Insurance Database and the Graduate List. This data enables us tracing all job changes in the labor market, and analysing the coincidence of job and major. The average rate of coincidence is not so high, the rate at first job is roughly one third. The youth with coincidence of job and major have earned less income than the youth without coincidence of job and major. But this result is impressive in the lower wage earners, any differences in regard to coincidence is not found in the upper wage earners. The probability of the coincidence of job and major is higher in case of the high wage and the high study attainments. The results suggests that the problem of the science and engineering graduates should be concentrated only on the lower manpower in the scientist and engineer jobs. Korean government have to lessen the number of entry into the science and engineering college and enlarge the number of entry into the science and engineering graduate school. Korean government have to prepare the system that aids establishment where the employee with coincidence of job and major earns more income.

This paper attempts to find out the economic roots of the increasing tendency not to choose the science and engineering (S&E) fields in the colleges. The analysis shows that the relative economic position of the S&E graduates measured in terms of employment quality is not significantly different from that of the non-S&E graduates. But the S&E graduates earn relatively low wage and self-employment income. Furthermore, the relative income of the top 5% bracket of the S&E graduates has been declining in the recent five years. The paper concludes that low relative income of the average S&E graduates as well as the increasingly lower relative income of the most able S&E personnel, coupled with the increasing compensating differential required for the S&E jobs, is the main reason for the 'avoidance' phenomenon of the S&E fields.

대학원 특히 이공계 대학원의 개선에 대하여는 지난 수년간 상당한 논의가 있었고 이에 따라 활발한 움직임이 있어 왔다. 근래 서울대학교가 대학원 중심의 대학교로 지향하겠음을 기본방침으로 채택하였으며 이공계 대학원으로써 전례에 없는 정부의 투자로서 한국과학원이 발족하여 이미 제1회 졸업생을 배출하였다. 따라서 우리나라에 본격적인 대학원교육의 세대가 온 것이라고 하여도 과언은 아니라고 본다. 일반 대학원교육의 목표가 "장차 연구와 교육에 종사할 대학교수를 양성하며 또한 사회에 봉사할 고등인력을 배출함"에 있으나 "사회가 요구하는 일부 고등인력이 특수대학원과 의치과에서만 배출되는 과도이고 대학원 전체로서는 이런 요구를 거의 충족치 못하고"있는 것이 지금까지의 현실이었다. (1)규모세성, (2)예산의 부족, (3)시설의 미비, (4)학생에의 지원빈곤 (5)교육 운영의 무리 및 (6)불합리한 기구의 성격때문에 일반대학원이 사회의 요구를 충족시키지 못할 뿐만 아니라 현재대학교들 자체의 교원 요원 충원에도 암경이 있음이 지적되고 있기도하다. 또우기 이러한 대학원교육의 분세성은 이공계에서는 더욱 심하다는 것이 명백히 나타나 있다. 일례로 시설은 기준에 훨씬 미흡하고 있으며 자연과학계열을 포함하고 있는 일반대학원의 학생 1인당 예산액이 사회과학계열의 특수대학원의 1인당 예산액의 반정도밖에 책정되어 있지 않는다는 어려운 실정이 나타나있다. 않는다는 어려운 실정이 나타나있다.

As depopulation era is coming, increasing utilization of human resource becomes one of main policy issues. Transferable skills have been highlighted as one of key factors to deal this issue. This paper surveys transferable skills of new human resource in science and technology who firstly entered labor market in recent two years. Teamwoking, problem solving and creativity have been identified as the most important transferable skills. In addition, there is no difference among industry sectors in terms of required transferable skills. Based on the survey results, we consider political implication in engineering education.
