This research aims to explore the factors affecting engineering students' major persistence and career decision. To achieve this goal, the experiences and perceptions of engineering students and other stakeholders regarding the factors influencing engineering students' major persistence and career decision were analyzed through online focus group interviews (FGI). The analysis of the interviews resulted in the identification of seven categories, which include meeting with older alumni, team project experiences, and internship experiences as factors influencing major persistence. Additionally, engineering interest, engineering self-efficacy, employment rates, economic factors, and limitations in women engineers' career development were identified as factors affecting career decision. Based on these findings, it is expected that engineering education will develop plans that focus on supporting the major persistence and career development of engineering students, thereby contributing to the future direction of engineering education.

This paper deals with metaphysical aspects of responsibility focusing on Hans Jonas's Das Prinzip Veranwortung as an attempt to further the discussion on the responsibility of scientists and engineers. After the examination on the necessity of new ethics reflecting the characteristics of contemporary science and technology, the philosophical foundation and major themes of Jonas's future-oriented ethics, i.e. responsibility ethics are analysed. Jonas argued new ethics should consider man and nature simultaneously based on the unification of being and what should be, and presented collectivity, continuity, and future-orientation as a basis of responsibility ethics. In conclusion, this paper suggests implications of Jonas's argument for science and technology ethics such as sustainability, precautionary principle, and responsibility of creator.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect on the university student' attitude toward environmental problem with PBL. The controlled group consisted of 80 students who was applied PBL and experimental group was applied a traditional teaching method was consisted with 80 students. The results is as follows ; First, there was a statistically meaningful differences in attitudes toward environment between two group(F=52.789, p<0.1). It shows that PBL is very effective in attitude toward environment. Second, there was a more meaningful increasing effect of student' consciousness of environmental problems before and after environmental education on the controlled group which was applied PBL than experimental group which was applied a traditional teaching method. Finally, in the literacy education of university student' related with environment problems recommend that PBL is more effective than that of traditional teaching method.

This study is an analysis of the process of the discovery of the DNA double helix structure from an engineering literacy education perspective. The explanation of the DNA double helix structure by James Watson and Francis Crick in 1952 is a well-known scientific episode. The process is also a combination of various incidents that can frequently happen in competitive engineering research and development situations. Therefore, the process of the discovery of the DNA structure is a remarkable event that can cover all subjects, such as engineering and ethics, research ethics, communication between researchers, engineering and leadership, engineering and teamwork, and engineering and women. This paper focuses on analyzing the research ethics issues associated with Rosalind Franklin and comparing and analyzing the three teams that were very close to the discovery of the DNA structure. By looking at why the Watson and Crick team got the final answer instead of the Linus Pauling's team or the Maurice Wilkins and Rosalind Franklin's team, the virtues of the technology development process that should be taught in engineering literacy education will be naturally presented.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the consciousness and behavior for environmental problems of university student and the necessity of schooling for environmental education. In order to achieve this purpose, a method of questionnaire was administered to total 1012 students selected from 5 universities in Suwon Si etc.. The results in questionnaire were as follows. Most students responded that living environmental education in middle and high school was helpful(70.4%) in practical living. And the most serious problem of living environmental pollution was water pollution(53.6%), air pollution(19.8%), waste material pollution(15.8%), food additives(7.9%), genetic modified organism(3.0%), respectively. And students obtained most knowledge of living environmental problems in internet(87.0%). Also most students responded that the main source and cause of water pollution and air pollution was industrial waste 63.4%, vehicles 61.5%, respectively. And level of environmental behaviors and consciousness of students distributed by major was science & engineering 2.13/4, etc. 2.08/4, art & athletics 1.6/4, liberal art 1.53/4, respectively. And also most respondents have recognition the necessity of schooling for environmental education.

This study evaluated the engineering students' ethical sensitivity to an AI emotion recognition robot scenario and explored its characteristics. For data collection, 54 students (27 majoring in Convergence Electronic Engineering and 27 majoring in Computer Software) were asked to list five factors regarding the AI robot scenario. For the analysis of ethical sensitivity, it was checked whether the students acknowledged the AI ethical principles in the AI robot scenario, such as safety, controllability, fairness, accountability, and transparency. We also categorized students' levels as either informed or naive based on whether or not they infer specific situations and diverse outcomes and feel a responsibility to take action as engineers. As a result, 40.0% of students' responses contained the AI ethical principles. These include safety 57.1%, controllability 10.7%, fairness 20.5%, accountability 11.6%, and transparency 0.0%. More students demonstrated ethical sensitivity at a naive level (76.8%) rather than at the informed level (23.2%). This study has implications for presenting an ethical sensitivity evaluation tool that can be utilized professionally in educational fields and applying it to engineering students to illustrate specific cases with varying levels of ethical sensitivity.

본 연구의 목적은 현업적용도 평가를 실시하여 교육과정, 교육방법, 교육환경 등의 교육시스템 개선 방안을 도출하는 것이다. 이를 위해 현업적용도 개념과 이론을 탐색하였다. 연구방법으로는 노혜란, 박선희(2011)가 개발한 현업적용도 연구도구를 활용하여 30명의 기계공학과 졸업생을 대상으로 설문 및 반구조화된 문항으로 인터뷰를 실시하였다. 현업적용도 설문결과 대학에서 배운 전공교과목이 업무와 관련 정도가 평균 4.27로 나타나 매우 높은 것으로 측정되었다. 뿐만 아니라 현업에 적용하는 기회도 평균 4.10으로 나타나 현업활용도가 높은 것으로 나타났다. 교육과정에 관한 설문결과는 현업에서 필요한 전공 및 교양과목이었다고 생각하느냐에 대한 문항에 평균 3.90의 결과가 나타났고, 현업적용을 높이는 실제적인 문제나, 사례, 경험 등이 활용되는 수업을 받았는지에 대한 문항에 평균 2.63으로 낮은 점수를 나타냈다. 인터뷰 결과 대학의 교육과정은 전공의 경우 현업에 대부분 직접적으로 활용되는 것으로 나타났다. 특히 전공동아리 활동, 팀프로젝트 등의 활동을 한 것이 현업에서 긍정적인 영향을 주는 것으로 나타나 지속적으로 강화해야 하는 것으로 조사되었다.

The biosorption of methylene blue (MB) from aqueous solution was investigated using dried Rhodotorula glutinis as the biosorbent. The effects of pH, initial dye concentration, biosorbent dosage, and kinetic studies were determined to obtain valuable information for biosorption. Results indicated that most of the adsorbed MB bound within 30 minutes of contact and the MB adsorption capacity increased from 21.1 to 101.8 mg/g with the initial MB concentration increased from 50 to 300 mg/L. Additionally, the MB adsorption capacity gradually increased from pH 4.0 to 9.0, reaching its peak at an initial pH of 9.0. As the biomass load was increased from 0.25 to 4.0 g/L, the MB removal efficiency increased from 14.1 to 84.5%. The Langmuir model provided the best fit throughout the concentration range, and the maximum adsorption capacity (q_max) and Langmuir constant (b) were determined to be 135.14 mg/g and 0.026 l/mg, respectively. Furthermore, the biosorbent process of R. glutinis was found to follow pseudo-second-order kinetics and the calculated q_eq,cal value showed good agreement with the experimental q_eq value. Overall, the biosorption of MB by R. glutinis can be characterized as a monolayer, single site type phenomenon, and the rate-limiting step was determined to be the chemical reaction between the adsorbent and the adsorbate.

멀티미디어 활용이 다양해지면서 3차원 오브젝트 데이터 처리(저장, 편집, 검색 등)에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있다. 본 논문은 대칭면을 활용한 3차원 오브젝트의 검색 시스템을 제안 구현하였다. 검색기법으로는 투영선을 이용한 반사대칭축을 이용하였다. 반사대칭에 의해 대칭면을 구하고, 대칭면에 대한 깊이버퍼를 구하였으며, 깊이버퍼에 푸리에 변환을 적용하여 오브젝트에 대한 특징벡터를 생성하여 검색하였다. 질의에 의한 샘플은 콘스탄츠 대학(Konstantz University)의 벤치마크 데이터를 이용하여 유사 대칭성의 모델을 추출하였다. 대부분의 물체들이 대칭의 특성을 갖는 오브젝트임을 고려해 볼 때 본 논문이 제안한 반사대칭면을 이용한 3차원 오브젝트 검색에 의한 방법은 우수한 검색 시스템임을 알 수 있었다.
