The purpose of this research is to suggest the method of code analysis for evaluating learners' projects in computational thinking(CT) education. Recently, block programming tools are applied to K-12 SW education, this study considered the assessment method for evaluating students' levels and learning about CT concepts through analyzing codes of the Scratch projects that students created. As a result from the analysis of 45 projects of novices, it showed the bad coding patterns of novices and verified that it is possible to evaluate students' learning about CT concepts through the analysis of their codes. The higher learner's level, the greater scores of logical thinking, synchronization, flow control, and data representation. This result is able to apply to student assessment of CT concepts in K-12 SW education.

A new and efficient method is presented for design optimization, which is based on a computational fluid dynamics (CFD). The method is applied to design an airfoil configuration. The Navier-Stokes equations are solved for the viscous analysis of the flow, which provides the object function. The CFD analysis is then coupled with the optimization procedure that used a conjugate gradient method. During the one-dimensional search of the optimization procedure, an approximate flow analysis based on a first-order Taylor series expansion is used to reduce the computational cost, (This study is supported by Korean Ministry of Education through Research Fund)

A finite element analysis for physical phenomenon which are governed by parabolic equation, has some inefficiencies caused by much computational time and large storage space. In this paper, a comparative study is performed to suggest the best efficient transient analysis algorithms for parabolic equations. First, the general finite element analysis techniques are summarized in views of formulation procedures, treatments of convection terms. and time stepping methods. Results of several combinations applied to one dimensional convection-diffusion equation and Burger equation are represented and compared using some criteria such as accuracy, stability, and computational time. Through the results, some guidelines to select a algorithm for solving parabolic equations are proposed for diffusion dominant and convection dominant cases. Finally applicability of two dimensional extension of the result is also discussed.

The requirements for computational resources to perform the structural analysis are increasing rapidly. The size of the current analysis problems that are required from practical industry is typically large-scale with more than millions degrees of freedom (DOFs). These large-scale analysis problems result in the requirements of high-performance analysis codes as well as hardware systems such as supercomputer systems or cluster systems. In this paper, the pre- and post-processing system for supercomputing based large-scale structural analysis is presented. The proposed system has 3-tier architecture and three main components; geometry viewer, pre-/post-processor and supercomputing manager. To analyze large-scale problems, the ADVENTURE solid solver was adopted as a general-purpose finite element solver and the supercomputer named 'tachyon' was adopted as a parallel computational platform. The problem solving performance and scalability of this structural analysis system is demonstrated by illustrative examples with different sizes of degrees of freedom.
