A new obligatory subject, Computer Programming IV, is organized in the Department of Informatics, Faculty of Engineering, Yamagata University. The purposes of the subject are as follows: (1) Attachment to each laboratory for bachelor thesis was usually at the initial stage of the student's fourth academic year. This subject actually moves up the attachment because students are tentatively attached to a laboratory for this subject. The interval to complete their bachelor thesis is extended by half a year. (2) In each laboratory, students cooperate with each other to complete their project. The project becomes capstone design which JABEE (Japan Accreditation Board for Engineering Education) is recently emphasizing. We not only explain the introduction of this subject, but also report some case studies.

The purpose of this study is to share the experience of online education with departments related to the servic industry, such as distribution and logistics, in the New Normal Age of COVID-19 pandemics. The graduation presentation project, which is the capstone design subject and the most urgent subject for face-to-face classes, was selected as the online education subject of this study. The results of this study are as follows : First, several online class tools, such as Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and Google Meet, have also been shown to be applicable to capstone design subjects such as graduation presentation projects. Second, it is essential to reorganize the curriculum to enhance students' ability to practice and utilize online contents. Third, continuous education and training are needed to make easy use of the aforementioned online teaching tools. Meanwhile, fourth, further research is needed to solve the learning effects caused by online learning, and difficulties in communication.

In this study, as a competency strengthening program to support learner-centered education, we developed the 'Capstone-design competency Program' for the purpose of cultivating the 4C skills and problem-solving ability required as core competencies of the 21st century. The program was based on the project method, and strategies were derived and materialized for each step through core competency analysis. Then, the validity was confirmed through the implementation of the program. As a result of the implementation of the program, it was confirmed that this program was effective in cultivating the core competencies of college students. In addition, it was confirmed that learners showed results such as specific reflection on core competencies, changes in perspective, and action plans, so that the possibility of actual application was high.

Civil engineering based on construction and maintenance of infrastructures for social and human development, it has a conservative aspects to adopt the high-technology and pace of change from ancient society. Therefore, the education of civil engineering consists of very similar contents from the past until now. Also, civil engineering, area is established the infrastructure widely included structure, geotechnical, hydraulic, environmental, surveying, construction management. Civil engineering have totally difference characteristics compared to manufacturing industry field for market interests such as mechanical engineering, chemical engineering, material engineering etc. Therefore, the capstone design concepts of civil engineering for public interests must be changed and applied unlike any other engineering areas capstone design. In this paper, the modified capstone design contents and instruction in civil engineering of Yonsei University is informed and evaluated using undergraduate students' course evaluations and learning assessment to verify the efficiency of modified capstone design in civil engineering.

The west stone pagoda of Gameunsa temple site(National Treasure No. 112) has been seriously damaged by surface weathering, and conservation treatment is needed. In the second story body stone, vertical cracks developed parallel to the main compressional axis. The vertical cracks seem to grow much more with the compression. Chemical and biological weathering along the vertical cracks could have enhanced the crack growth. In the third story capstone, the surface cracks strike toward NE and NW directions, which are intersecting each other. In the eastern and southern parts of the third story capstone, lots of vertical cracks develop along the lines from the axial center to outer rim, whereas horizontal cracks are easily observed at the outer rim of the capstone. On the other hand, a few horizontal cracks develop in the western and northern parts of the third story capstone. This fact indicates that the compression along the vertical axis is not uniform in direction. The west stone pagoda leans toward the east and the south, so it is considered that compression by deviatoric stress prevailed at these directions.

This paper recommends to teach technical writing as a part of the curriculum of engineering design courses. Some features of both engineering design and keystone design course as well as capstone design course for engineering students are studied before the relationship of those features with written communication are investigated. After the characteristics of collaborative writing are reviewed, some aspects of integration of teaching technical writing into engineering design courses are evaluated. Technical writing for engineering students is best taught by collaborative writing approach in engineering design courses.

The Muryangsa temple five-storied stone pagoda (Treasure No. 185) was geographically located in the area of the Baekje Kingdom. The architectural style of the Muryangsa temple five-storied stone pagoda is the pagoda at the early Goryeo Dynasty that was succeeded technique of the Baekje Kingdom and form of the Shilla Kingdom. Because this pagoda is located outside during old time that it received serious petrological and biological weathering in rock blocks and occurred the center subsidence in the upper capstone. This study executed ground stability interpretation in order to know what central subsidence in the upper capstone occurred for soft ground. The ground stability interpretation used seismic survey, electrical resistivity survey and GPR survey by non-destructive method. As the result, the ground appeared in the condition which is good. Specially, high resistance zone appeared from electric resistivity survey which come to seem with ground reinforcement harden. Consequently, central subsidence condition in the upper capstone is not by the instability of ground, and is judged with the thing by the structure instability in rock blocks over the upper capstone. This will be applied basic data with the long-term monitoring or preservation countermeasure of the pagoda.

Engineering design education has been established and implemented as three stages of basic design, element design, and capstone design with the introduction of engineering education accreditation system. In the basic design, the concept and procedure of design is introduced to the beginners of engineering, and the creativity and teamwork is practiced rather than mathematical detailed design for the purpose of being connected to and used effectively in the capstone design. In this study, the opinions of the students performing capstone design after taking basic design were surveyed through questionnaire. Overall, students recognize the importance of basic design education and experienced that it is useful. The results indicate that effective basic engineering design education is being carried out, and are considerably agree to those at the professors in the former survey.
