The knowledge and technological competitiveness produced by universities determines a country's scientific technology and industrial competitiveness. The aim of this study is to find the evolution of Triple Helix Model (THM) by analyzing cases of technological catching-up and nurturing the human capital policies during Korea industrialization era, from 1960 to 2020. To fulfill the aims, this study utilized qualitative methodologies. In this study not only the process of acquiring technologies and core technologies but also the system for nurturing the human capital focused on scientific and engineers was analyzed. In addition characteristics of each ear of Triple Helix Model (THM) were examined. From the results, this study suggests Triple Helix Syncro-Scenario (THSS) which is the compelling innovation model, based on scenario, combined the personal experiences various critical thoughts and problems with enterprises and government for creating the incessment innovations.

This paper aims to present the ways to maximize educational effects and facilitate a curriculum renovation through the Specified Track Curriculum Development, a joint lecture system among local universities which is implemented by Busan Educational Alliance of Mechanical Engineering (BEAM) as part of New University for Regional Innovation(NURI), a government-sponsored project to facilitate a balanced regional development of Korea. The Specified Track Curriculum is a unified governing body joined by 4 universities of mechanical engineering departments with an emphasis on their specified academic fields(advanced hightech, environmental, marine and foundational machinery sectors), And the universities mutually recognize academic credits. The track (Specified-Track Curriculum) was carried out three times from winter semester in 2005 to the present and 486 students took the track course for two years. As a result, the track laid out a foundation for the first local joint lecture system in korea with the performance-oriented and students-tailored education, meeting needs of the new era and training efficiency. The graduates' employment rose to 8.5%, compared with that of 2005. According to recent survey conducted on companies employing the graduates, the satisfaction with the graduates' performance marked 9.4% improvement. The track also contributed to expanding human networks, facilitating the educational exchange of local universities.
