국가 경제력이 성장함에 따라서 사회기반시설에 대한 국토의 환경역량을 제고하려는 요구가 크게 증가하였고 이에 부응하여 생태공학 기술의 수요가 증가하고 있다. 우리나라에서는 이러한 사회적 요구에 부응하기 위하여 2013년에 응용생태공학회가 창립되어 생태공학 분야의 기술 발전에 기여하고 있다. 하지만 이러한 사회적 수요에도 불구하고 생태공학 분야 인력양성 체계가 아직 정착되지 못하고 있는 실정이며, 생태학적 원리와 기능을 충족시킴과 동시에 생태계 서비스를 확보할 수 있는 생태계 보전, 복원, 창조 기술을 갖춘 유능한 인력을 배출할 수 있는 교육 프로그램이 시급히 요구되고 있다고 판단된다. 이러한 노력의 일환으로서 응용생태공학회에서는 "2015 응용생태공학 포럼 - 생태교육의 터잡기"를 개최하여 대학에서 생태공학 교육체계를 정립하기 위한 논의를 하였다. 본 고에서는 포럼에서 토론되고 제안된 내용을 중심으로, 우리나라 대학에서 토목과 건설, 생물과 환경 및 조경과 계획의 다양한 분야에서 생태공학 관련 교육의 실태를 파악하고, 국외의 우수한 교육 사례를 바탕으로 국내 대학에서 생태공학 교육을 개선하여 정립할 수 있는 방안을 모색하고자 하였다. 전반적으로 아직까지는 생태 및 각 응용분야 교과목들이 단편적인 교과목과 영역별 교육으로 한정되어 있어 향후 융합교육, 기후변화의 생태적 대응, 연구대상의 확대에 초점을 맞춘 새로운 교육전략과 체계적인 생태융합적 커리큘럼의 개발이 요구된다.

자연생태계와 인간사회의 공통적인 이익을 위한 생태공학 기술의 필요성이 대두되고 있다. 응용생태공학회가 설립되어 생태공학 분야의 연구와 기술개발에 기여하고 있는데, 생태공학분야 인력 양성에 필수적인 교육의 목표나 내용은 체계가 잡혀있지 못하다. 2015년 응용생태공학 포럼-'생태공학 교육의 터잡기'에서 생태공학 교육의 국제적 동향과 국내 실정에 대해 발제하고 토의한 내용을 중심으로 정리하였다. 생태공학 교육은 인간에 의해 교란된 생태계를 지속가능하도록 복원시킴과 아울러 인간과 생태계의 공동이익을 추구하는 새로운 지속가능한 생태계를 설계 운영할 수 있는 인력을 양성할 수 있어야 한다. 생태공학이 직면하게 될 세 가지의 도전에 대응할 수 있는 교육이 되어야 한다. 인간과 생태계의 공동 이익이라는 목표에서 인간사회와 자연 사이의 균형을 어떻게 정의할 것인가 하는 윤리적 도전, 유관학문 분야는 물론 산업, 정책, 교육, 훈련의 융화를 꾀하는 관계적 도전, 마지막으로 생태학과 공학뿐 아니라 사회과학과 인문과학이 소통하여 융합하는 지적 도전을 극복할 수 있는 교과과정이어야 한다. 이를 위해 생태학과 생태공학을 중심으로 하는 핵심교과목의 하위에 자연과학과 공학 기초과목을 두어 학부과정에 편성하고, 상위에 전공학문 별로 심화된 핵심교과목을 두어 대학원과정으로 편성하는 것이 필요하다.

The trend emphasizes children-oriented, play-oriented ecological education programs for children's ecological education. And most of these nature -friendly and eco-friendly education takes place outdoors. Therefore, outdoor space planning is important in childcare facilities. This case study aims to analyze the actual conditions of outdoor spaces in daycare centers and to provide standard data for outdoor space planning. In order to provide basic data on the improvement direction and planning standards of outdoor spaces, this present study conducted the composition, utilization status and related problems of outdoor spaces for nature -friendly ecological education in childcare facilities. Accordingly, outdoor space planning for ecological education should consider outdoor space characteristics such as free and easy accessibility between indoor and outdoor spaces, openness of space, flexibility, dynamic/static space, and nature affinity. Therefore, for an ecological education environment, children should be able to freely approach nature and play in the natural environment without any restrictions and artificial controls. Also, in urban areas, natural environment such as parks and open spaces should be considered as outdoor play spaces for children.

It is a trend to pursue the reinforcement of child-centered, play-oriented ecological education programs that support children's development. Most of these nature friendly and eco education is done in the outdoor space. So outdoor activities in child care facilities are essential. The purpose of this study was to analyze the actual condition of the outdoor space for ecological child education in the child care center. Therefore, in order to provide the basic data for the direction of the improvement and to grasp the current situation and problems, the survey and analysis of the external space composition and utilization status in the child care facilities for nature-friendly ecological child care education has been done. As a result, the half of the cases did not reserve even the minimum size of outdoor space and fall short of the standards of outdoor space quality as accessibility, complexity, articulation and nature friendliness for ecological education. Therefore, in order to establish an ecological education environment, it is necessary to build facilities in natural green or suburban areas. In addition, they need to use the natural environment such as parks, open spaces, and forests.

The highly evolved flowers of orchids have colorful sepals and fused columns that offer an opportunity to discover new genes involved in floral development in monocotyledon species. In this investigation, we cloned and characterized the homologous PISTALLATA-like (PI-like) gene PhPI15 ($\underline{Ph}alaenopsis$ $\underline{PI}$ STILLATA # $\underline{15}$), from the Phalaenopsis hybrid cultivar. The protein sequence encoded by PhPI15 contains a typical PI-motif. Its sequence also formed a subclade with other monocot PI-type genes in phylogenetic analysis. Southern analysis showed that PhPI15 was present in the Phalaenopsis orchid genome as a single copy. Furthermore, it was expressed in all the whorls of the Phalaenopsis flower, while no expression was detected in vegetative organs. The flowers of transgenic tobacco plants ectopically expressing PhPI15 showed male-sterile phenotypes. Thus, as a Class-B MADS-box gene, PhPI15 specifies floral organ identity in orchids.

Hereditary non-polyposis Colorectal Cancer (HNPCC) is an autosomal dominant inheritance syndrome. HNPCC is the most common hereditary variant of colorectal cancer (CRC), which accounts for 2-5% CRCs, mainly due to hMLH1 and hMSH2 mutations that impair DNA repair functions. Our study aimed to identify the patterns of hMSH2 and hMLH1 mutations in Chinese HNPCC patients. Ninety-eight unrelated families from China meeting Amsterdam or Bethesda criteria were included in our study. Germline mutations in MLH1 and MSH2 genes, located in the exons and the splice-site junctions, were screened in the 98 probands by direct sequencing. Eleven mutations were found in ten patients (11%), with six in MLH1 (54.5%) and five in MSH2 (45.5%) genes. One patient had mutations in both MLH1 and MSH2 genes. Three novel mutations in MLH1 gene (c.157_160delGAGG, c.2157dupT and c.-64G>T) were found for the first time, and one suspected hotspot in MSH2 (c.1168C>T) was revealed.

This study aims to enhance the engineering education for non-majors by incorporating the concept of Global Citizenship Education and addressing the need for education that responds to climate and ecological changes. The study uses robot programming as a tool to foster the development of global citizens. Non-majors often struggle with producing more than just motionless forms or solid productions, due to a lack of understanding of mechanisms and coding. The study proposes the use of the Convergence D-SteamRobot (DSR) to address this issue by blending humanities and engineering. This is achieved by presenting problems through books to increase empathy, integrating simple machine mechanisms, and creating prototypes to solve self-defined problems. Through this process, learners determine the SDGs topic they want to solve and learn about the simple mechanical mechanism involved in producing the prototype. The educational model provides a constructivist learning environment that emphasizes empathy and exploration, encourages peer-learning, and improves divergent thinking and problem-solving skills.

The Engineering school of Tohoku University has been offering a Team-based Engineering Design Course to its first year students since 1996 in order to increase the level of both motivation and interest in engineering. Freshmen are required to select one of approximately 150 topics and do some research on this topic. This course also provides opportunities for students to participate in exchange programs with the University of Washington (UW) and the University of Science and Technology Beijing (USTB). In the Tohoku-UW exchange program, which began in 1999, between 10 and 25 students of Tohoku visit the UW annually to present the results of the subjects the school has appointed in advance in the Team-based Engineering Design Course. In the Tohoku-USTB exchange program, which began in 2007, about 15 students from each university participate in a one day meeting organized by the students themselves. They give a presentation on either the results of the subject they selected in the course, or on an engineering related topic both groups have agreed to in advance. In this paper, a detailed history, the objectives, a schedule and the budget in these unique exchange programs is introduced together with an outline of the course and its contribution to the engineering design education.

This study was to conduct a literature review and a theoretical study on 95 environmental education programs currently being run in the metropolitan area and obtained Environmental Education Program Certification of Ministry of Environment. First, the suitability of the environmental education programs was analyzed in terms of the following criteria which the Second National Environmental Education Master Plan propose: strengthening environmental education within the curriculum, strengthening preschooler environmental education, diversification of environmental education among targeted groups, and invigoration of community-based environmental education, and evaluated the contents and the proportion relevant to climate change. Based on the result, the measure for the improvement of the environmental education programs was proposed. As a result of the analysis, there were only 15 programs for children, and 20 programs for adults. Also, only 9% of the children and adult education programs were addressing climate change respectively, which was indicating low percentage. 75 programs were directly related to the school curriculum, and 8 programs were not related to subjects in regular curriculum. Also, considering addressing climate change, 7 out of 11 programs were related to the school curriculum. 71 out of 95 programs were located in the facilities of local governments. Programs that were including the contents relate to climate change were only 11 out of 95 programs. It is necessary to operate programs by expanding environmental education programs targeting children and adults, so all people are took into account, and consider the connectivity between curriculum and environmental education program in South Korea to increase the effectiveness of education. Also, it is necessary to educate people sustainably by relating the programs with various resources which can be utilized in the local community, to include climate change related contents with more proportion, and to address various subjects rather than focusing on one part of the subjects.
