This paper presents an undergraduate curriculum flowchart model for industrial engineering. Because Industrial Engineering deals with wider categories today than before, the coherent curriculum flowchart design is very difficult. We propose an effective approach using knowledge profile analysis for each course.

The number of students graduating from accredited programs has been increasing annually since the first students graduated from accredited engineering programs in Korean universities in 2004. In this paper, we evaluate the effect of engineering education accreditation by the Accreditation Board for Engineering Education of Korea (ABEEK). We developed performance evaluation indices based on the balanced scorecard concept and applied the proposed indicators to graduates, faculty, and industry employers to see if there are significant differences between accredited and non-accredited groups. Overall, regardless of survey object, engineering education accreditation was perceived to contribute to the elevation of engineering and science and the level of national growth. However, the differences between accredited and non-accredited groups for some key performance indicators were statistically insignificant. The results of this paper are expected to provide crucial feedback information for the improvement of engineering education accreditation in Korea.

In knowledge based society of 21c, engineers require not only their own speciality but also engineering basic competency such as creative thinking, the ability of working together, the ability of communication. Engineering colleges responsible for educating engineers consider developing curriculum including Engineering Basic Competency which is reflecting the needs of the times. By utilizing the accreditation programs of engineering education, UK-SPEC of UK Engineering Council, EA(Engineering Australia) standards/handbook of the Institute of Engineers Australia, O*NET of U.S. Occupational Network, this study generates core elements of engineering basic competency to prove the capability of engineering basic competency required to desired engineers. Core constituents derived from the study were categorized into 3 major areas of the basic engineering literacy in Humanities and Social Sciences(HSS), the ability of Creativity Engineering Design, Career development and each category and constituents were surveyed and checked by engineers in the field to deduce engineering basic competency that should be educated in the engineering college.

It is necessary to use industrial oriented equipment, as well as lecturer who has field experience, textbook and materials for engineering education which meets the change of industrial technology. Current education equipment is composed of general purposed equipment which are used for teaching with ease and convenience instead of field oriented achieving technology. The leads to failure of engineering education to keep up with the change of industrial technology, making engineering education stay far away from field oriented education. This study looks at the case of development of education equipment which takes an important role in engineering education, and suggests the ways of development and utilization of engineering education equipment by analyzing the effects of education when the equipment are used in the education.

In this study, several issues of engineering education of Korea were pointed out through the survey for industrial employees in the areas of civil, chemical and electronics engineering. For the area of civil engineering, a questionnaire based upon the outcomes of ABEEK(accreditation board for engineering education of Korea) was developed for the survey, and the replies from the survey were then analyzed. For the areas of chemical and electronics engineering, data obtained from the literature study were used for analyses. The results of analyses show that the level of engineering education is much lower than that of the industrial demand in the case of all three divisions. It shows the urgency in improvement of engineering education.

The $4^{th}$ industrial revolution refers to an era where machines capable of outperforming humans are created. In light of the 4th industrial revolution, university students are demanded problem solving abilities, critical thinking abilities, and problem discovering abilities as general and basic abilities. The need for changes in the university level communication education for engineering students remains imperative in this constantly changing social environment. The era where education is conducted only in classrooms is over. This paper discusses the need for diversified education such as the integration of online and offline education, the reinforcement of learning outside of the classroom as well as an education model that transcends formal and informal education such as games and activities that induce self-learning, both intentional and non-intentional learning, and the utilization of mass media and social networking systems. Through providing an education model that assesses and utilizes the data gained from the learning process provided above, this paper widens the perception of future education methods in the 4th industrial revolution.

The crisis of science-engineering field is a significant problem which hinders the improvement of national competitiveness. In this study, we use a structural equation model to propose two kinds of satisfaction indices of engineering education: m index for major and p index for personality. They are used to improve the current situation of engineering education in Korea. Based on the resulting feedback information, we suggest several strategic plans for science-engineering field.

The university assessment of Industrial point of view that is the evaluation of university's outcomes was started in 2008 to find out university's social and industrial contribution rate by evaluating the added value of raising up competent people and technical development through university courses. This study is for analyzing outcomes of university assessment of Industrial point of view in the second period and searching for improvement suggestions of evaluation indexes and ways. The outcomes of university assessment of Industrial point of view in the second period is that are the contributions overcoming the difference of industrial requests and university's courses, information offering to university about industrial requests, the substantiate indicator for evaluating the suitability of university's courses and the improvement of university's competitiveness through course's upgrades, The ways improving the university assessment of Industrial point of view are introducing the ways of industrial university's consulting, evaluation for certification and involving graduate school's courses assesment, reinforcing the analysis of industrial requests, improving the indexes of courses and setting up feedback system.
