In this study, we investigate the effects of the methods of time allocation in lecturing on the mathematical academic achievement of freshmen in institute of technologies. The subjects are 392 freshmen from three universities participated in ABEEK(Accreditation Board for Engineering Education of Korea). They belong to three groups in accordance with the methods of time allocation in lecturing; 75 minutes twice a week(79 students) and 150 minutes continuously once a week(77 students) (university 1 of 156 students), 100 minutes twice a week(56 students) and 200 minutes continuously once a week(60 students) (university 2 of 116 students) and 50 minutes and 100 minutes separately once a week(62 students) and 150 minutes continuously once a week(58 students) (university 3 of 120 students). The results of this paper are summarized as follows: Firstly, the achievement of separate time-allocation groups is higher than that of continuous time-allocation groups. Secondly, the achievement of middle class students and low class students has higher effects when they are taught by using the methods of separate time-allocation in lecturing. Finally, the achievement of groups using 75 minutes twice a week is higher than that of using 50 minutes and 100 minutes separately once a week. In conclusion, this study suggests that the method of separate time allocation in lecturing using 75 minutes twice a week could be an advisable means to help those who achieve middle and low scores in the first college mathematics.

한국공학교육인증원의 첫 번째 인증기준인 ‘프로그램 교육목표’는 두 번째 인증기준인 ‘프로그램 학습성과 및 평가’에 비해 용어로서의 익숙함은 있으나, 실제 실천 방안이나, 인증평가를 위한 준비에 대한 이해는 부족하였다. 심지어 용어의 익숙함으로 인해 오히려 인증기준에 적절하지 않고 측정 가능하지 않은 추상적인 어휘를 사용하여 교육목표를 설정하여 인증평가 시 부족사항으로 지적 받는 경우도 있었다. 본 연구는 인증에서 요구하는 성과중심과 수요자중심 교육의 철학을 만족하고, 교육프로그램의 지속적인 개선이 가능하도록 ‘프로그램 교육목표’에 대한 실천방안과 인증평가 준비에 대해 모형을 갖춰 제시하고자 한다. 본 모형은 ‘프로그램 교육목표’ 기준의 5가지 하위 세부기준을 분석하여 이들도 모두 만족할 수 있는 방안을 제시하였다. 그러므로 각 프로그램은 본 모형을 적절히 이용하여 자신들만의 특성화를 이룩할 수 있으며, 부차적으로 교육목표에 대한 인증평가도 무난히 준비할 수 있으리라 기대한다.

The employment rate of a college has long been one of the most important elements in college survival strategies. Employment rates may not be key to colleges' survival in other countries, but they are fundamental to colleges in Korea as seen in the Korean government-led National Competency Standard (NCS), which has been underway since its introduction to colleges in Korea. Against this backdrop, if the engineering accreditation system can contribute to improving employment rate in this context, it can take root more quickly. The process conducive to improving employment rates can be classified as both direct and indirect methods. With dwindling school-age population having impacts on colleges and universities, the environment and the education directions of colleges have rapidly been shifting since the introduction of the NCS. Therefore, various survival strategies for colleges need to be developed. An indicator of employment rate of college graduates is among the most important things during this transition process. The Department of Mechanical Engineering at Koje College has consistently shown good records during the past 5 years by matching the accreditation schemes and employment strategies. The department will help put in place the engineering technology education accreditation system at the college through its various innovative and effective programs. To formulate a better employment strategy, it is needed to reflect and consolidate the engineering accreditation scheme into the existing employment policy of college. In short, this paper examines both the engineering accreditation scheme and the employment policy in ways that helps produce a coupling matrix structure. This study looks into the measures for improving employment rates by better adjusting the engineering education methods under the accreditation scheme.

기존 공학교육 모델은 기업들로부터 만족을 얻지못하고 있다. 본 논문은 이를 극복할 수 있는 새로운 공학교육모델, 엔지니어링 하우스 교육모델을 제안하고 있다. 엔지니어링 하우스는 3개의 공간으로 구성되어 있다. 세 가지는 교육, 연구, 기업지원공간 등이다. 무엇보다도 교육공간이 가장 중요하다. 우리는 이 공간을 기반으로 학부생에게 실용기술을 교육하고자 하였다. 특히 기업의 전문가가 학부교육에 참여하게 된다. 학부교육에 참여하는 기업들은 연구도 공동으로 진행하게 되는데, EH를 공동으로 관리하는 $2{\sim}3$명의 교수와 산학협력하게 된다. 이 과정은 학생, 교수, 기업인 모두가 공동으로 참여하게 된다는 것이다. 그리고 EH내 모든 시설은 기업인에 개방되어 있고, 학생들도 기업과의 협력 중에 이들 장비 사용법을 배우게 되고 취업으로도 연계되는 장점도 있다. 즉 EH는 산학협력 기반위에 교육과 취업이 연계되는 모델인 것이다. 새로운 교육모델은 산학협력에 기반을 두고 학부생을 기업맞춤형으로 교육할 수 있는 좋은 프로그램이 될 것으로 기대하고 있다.

In this paper, we consider curriculum mining as an application of process mining in the domain of education. The basic objective of the curriculum mining is to construct a registration pattern model by using logs of registration data. However, subject registration patterns of students are very unstructured and complicated, called a spaghetti model, because it has a lot of different cases and high diversity of behaviors. In general, it is typically difficult to develop and analyze registration patterns. In the literature, there was an effort to handle this issue by using clustering based on the features of students and behaviors. However, it is not easy to obtain them in general since they are private and qualitative. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a new framework of curriculum mining applying K-means clustering based on subject attributes to solve the problems caused by unstructured process model obtained. Specifically, we divide subject's attribute data into two parts : categorical and numerical data. Categorical attribute has subject name, class classification, and research field, while numerical attribute has ABEEK goal and semester information. In case of categorical attribute, we suggest a method to quantify them by using binarization. The number of clusters used for K-means clustering, we applied Elbow method using R-squared value representing the variance ratio that can be explained by the number of clusters. The performance of the suggested method was verified by using a log of student registration data from an 'A university' in terms of the simplicity and fitness, which are the typical performance measure of obtained process model in process mining.

The present study aims to demonstrate that it is possible to objectively evaluate the competency (referred to as graduate attributes or program outcomes) of graduates of engineering education programs. To strengthen the link between engineering education accreditation and the qualification/certification system of engineering professionals, referred to as K-Engineering Professional (K-EP), individually assuring the quality of accredited graduates using multiple-choice test as main assessment tool is proposed. Test questions related to the basic vocational skills of NCS are developed for seven of the 10 program outcomes of the ABEEK KEC2015. The three program outcomes, PO1, PO3, and PO5, which need to fully accommodate the characteristics of each disciplinary field, are excluded. A pilot test involving graduates of eight accredited programs is conducted. Applying on Rasch model based on Item Response Theory (IRT), the item difficulty, fit and discrimination of multiple choice test are demonstrated. The pilot study strongly suggests that individual competency evaluation is possible at a certain level for seven program outcomes tested. For PO1, PO3, and PO5, however, questions that address the characteristics of each disciplinary field need to be devised. If a suitable pool of questions is built, it can be used as a program outcomes assessment tool by the accredited programs.

ABEEK recommends convergent engineering projects to nurture creative problem-solving ability for 1st year engineering students through 'Creative Engineering Design' course. However, 1st year engineering students, who have not yet studied core subjects in engineering, have difficulties understanding and coping with the challenges posed by the engineering-related projects. For this reason, the educational objectives of this course are usually frustrating to achieve by the instructor. In this paper, by using the problem-solving process and skills of critico(-creative) thinking, we prepare guidelines for creative engineering design education that allow 1st-year students to effectively participate in engineering projects without a complete understanding of the design process which is to be studied. Also, we present a case study that applies the guidelines to an on-going creative engineering design course and discusses the outcomes by showing student-generated works. The results showed that the intuitive content and everyday expression of critico(-creative) thinking education enabled the instructor to effectively guide their students through the requirements of engineering projects without relying on advanced engineering design methods, and that the application of these guidelines also helped improve students' communication skills, including presentation. We show that the guidelines for creative engineering design education utilizing the problem-solving process and skills of critico(-creative) thinking is not only contributing to achieving the educational objectives of the creative engineering design course but can also be an educational paradigm that incorporates critico(-creative) thinking education into engineering education.
