This study attempted to investigate the relationship among engineering students' creativity, engineering education accreditation, gender, and academic year. To be specific, fist, we examined the validity and reliability of the instrument for measuring engineering students' creativity by conducting Rasch analysis. Second, we compared level of creativity in terms of gender, academic year, and engineering education accreditation by using three-way ANOVA. Third, correlations among four constructs of creativity were examined. Fourth, latent classes with respect to creativity within the participants were identified using polytomous latent class analysis (poLCA). Data were collected from 2098 engineering students by using instrument for measuring four different constructs (creative cognition, creative tendency, collaboration, environment). By using Rasch analysis, validity and reliability of instrument for measuring creativity were confirmed. And the results of three-way ANOVA showed that there were significant difference in creativity in terms of gender. Female students showed the low level of creativity compared with male students. Also there were significant difference in creativity except creative cognition factor in terms of academic year. But there were no significant difference in creativity between students who participated engineering education accreditation program and the others. All constructs of creativity were significantly correlated with each others. Lastly, poLCA results showed that there were three distinct subgroups within engineering students in terms of the level of creativity. In the subgroup with low creativity, there were more female and first year students. Based on these findings, we discussed education for engineering students' creativity.

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.

In general, it is this variety of learning methods and teaching tools for embedded software development and deployment training. In this paper, I want to take advantage of the smart robot to learn creative problem-solving methods that are required in embedded software engineering education. It analyzes the effect of creative engineering education with the smart robot and presents for RSPM Engineering Embedded SW teaching methods to improve NCS education. Embedded SW engineering education in a more creative and smart robot, EV3 system was utilized to improve SW programming skills. In this paper, we utilize the EV3 system to the parish through the creative RSPM engineering courses through the survey and analysis of the impact level, interests and program skills and influence in embedded SW engineering education propose for successful embedded software programming skills potential.

This study is a part of the research on measuring and developing the creativity of college students, especially of the engineering college students. For these purposes, this study verifies TTCT(Torrance Test for Creative Thinking) as a creativity measuring tool for the college students. Also, the characteristics of TTCT in relation to sex, the types of major, ages, academic achievements are discussed. Under the results of this study, the possibility of practical usage and its limitations of TTCT are provided.

This study aimed to investigate the perception of students for the general creativity education in order to suggest the practical education for the improvement of their creativity. Most students chose 'discussion and projects' which indicates students preferred the class where they can mainly participate with a help of professors.

4차 산업혁명시대가 도래함으로써 수많은 영역에 다양한 소프트웨어(SW)가 필요할 것이며, 특히 비전공자 및 기초 전공자들의 창의적 사고 기반 SW에 대한 이해가 요구된다. 하지만 문제는 창의적 사고 기반의 SW에 대한 정의 및 아이디어가 부족하다. 우리는 교육 영역에서의 창의적 사고 방법 및 주요 쟁점들을 비전공자들에게 강의한 경험이 있지만 실질적으로 창의적 사고기법을 통해서 소프트웨어로 구현하는 것에 큰 어려움을 겪고 있다. 따라서 이러한 점을 개선하는 창의적 사고 기법과 소프트웨어 공학기법을 접목인 디자인 씽킹 메카니즘과 소프트웨어공학 접목을 제안한다.

The purpose of this study was to provide a basis information for the education direction of 'creative engineering design' lesson to highschool students and pre-technology teachers by analyzing pre-experienced the d epartment of technology professors' recognitions, according to the newly opened unit 'creative engineering design' in 2009 revised highschool technology home economics education curriculum. The survey questionnaire was composed of 34 questions and collected from 16 department of technology education professors. The data was analyzed by SPSS program. The results of study were as follows : First, in 'creative engineering design' educational objectives, the highest average level(M) of response was problem solving ability, the opportunity of engineering experience and creativity improvement were followed. In the response about 'creative engineering design' educational contents, the average level(M) of the creative thinking method education was the highest(3.94). and the following important level was the write training education for presentation. Second, in the 'creative engineering design' educational areas, the professors preferred the idea conception, design, and production manufacturing area. In the teaching learning method, the average level(M) of design-based learning method was the first. and PBL, problem solving method were favored Third, in the 'creative engineering design' lesson manage, the secure of practice room and material cost, and the check of the progress situations were needed preferentially. In the education assessments, various and combined assessment preferred such as production, portfolio, and presentation. Fourth, in the pre-technology teachers' lesson of the university course, the product manufacturing level was preferred production to improve uncomfortable thing in life. The major difficulty in product manufacturing was the lack of major knowledge and product conception.

지적 창의경영은 지식의 공유와 생성으로 나눌 수 있는 데, 지식 생성 분야에서 창의성 연구에서 나온 창의적 문제해결 방법론이다. 이 글에서는 공학 분야에 주로 사용되는 TRIZ 이론을 비공학 분야와 비즈니스 분야, 지적 창조경영의 지식 생성 분야에서 응용사례와 활용 가능성을 기술하였다. TRIZ는 공학분야의 전세계 특허와 기술혁신 사례들을 분석하여 개발하였으나, 이 창의적 문제해결 이론은 러시아 공산주의 사회라는 특수한 상황에서 개발되어서 경영과 비즈니스를 다루고 연구하는 일에는 많은 어려움이 있었다. 그러나 러시아가 개방되면서 최근 TRIZ의 다양하고 강력한 기법들을 비공학 분야와 선진기업 경영이나 비즈니스에 접목시켜 연구되고 있다. TRIZ연구는 변화와 경쟁이 기본이라고 여겨지는 비지니스 활동에서 강력한 문제 해결능력과 아이디어를 가지도록 도와주고 있다. 이 글에서 비즈니스에서 성공과 실패라는 모순을 일으키는 문제를 고전적인 TRIZ의 모순 해소 매트릭스와 비슷한 비즈니스 매트릭스를 이용해서 해결되는 선진 기업의 창조적 경영 응용 사례를 살펴 보고 향후 활용 가능성을 연구하였다.
