In this paper, mechatronics education in South Korea is analyzed and its improvement is proposed. For this purpose, discussion on the definition and evolution of mechatronics in South Korea, USA and EU is deployed first. It is revealed that most of the mechatronics education in USA and EU is remained in cross-disciplinary stage or curriculum stage, whereas that in South Korea is evolved to curriculum stage or organizational stage. The comparison of mechatronics curriculum between Korea and other countries and the problems of mechatronics education are included. The automation of machinery and factory plays one of major roles in mechatronics education in Korea, while mechatronics curriculum in USA and EU does not emphasize the automation. Mechatronics experiment in South Korea is organized to meet the National Qualification Test on mechatronics, and it is recommended to be more inventive. The way of improving the National Qualification Test of South Korea on mechatronics field is proposed. And, finally, efficient way of linking technical high school and university in mechatronics education is also proposed.

In engineering education practical experiments is very important for each student, but due to the limitation of time and available resources such as laboratory equipment, space and instructors enough hands-on real experiments could not be provided to all students enrolled in the program throughout the academic year. In this sense web-based remote experiments through internet become a solution for engineering education and an emerging new paradigm for students and teachers. This paper presents the development of the web-based remote vibration experiment system for mechatronics education. Students can access this experimental equipment through an internet and conduct vibration experiment remotely without any restriction on time and place. IP address for data communication and web-service are assigned in local computer and then students receive experimental results and the captured pictures using network. The developed system provides real-time feedback of the tested results. Ubiquitous access to the system gained popularity from students.

This paper presents characteristic analysis of underwater bearing for canned type electric water pump. Characteristic analysis of underwater bearing was performed using self-developed performance tester, which capable of torque change, noise change, motor speed change and abrasion loss test with respect to temperature change of underwater bearing. The performance tester can be monitored in real time by designing the control unit using the Labview program. The performance experiment was performed through comparison of the silicon carbide (SIC) and the carbon bearing. From the experiment results, performance of SIC bearing was better than carbon bearing at the abrasion and temperature experiment.

This paper proposes a new linear magnetic damper for absorbing shock from a crash accident involving high speed vehicles. The magnetic damper is composed of a conductive plate, a yoke and permanent magnets which are constructed to a Halbach array to improve the damping force. In order to calculate the damping force, finite element analysis(FEA) using J-Mag, a commercial FEA tool, is performed and the results are validated by the experiment. Also, the design optimization of the plate generating the eddy current causing the damping force performed to obtain the most efficient damping force. Finally, the specifications and the performance of the proposed magnetic damper are represented.

This dissertation proposes a global search and a local search method to track the object in real-time. The global search recognizes a target object among the candidate objects through the entire image search, and the local search recognizes and track only the target object through the block search. This dissertation uses the object color and feature information to achieve fast object recognition. Finally we conducted an experiment for the object tracking system based on a pan/tilt structure.

Particle image velocimetry is performed in order to analyze flowfield induced by a dielectric barrier discharge plasma actuator. The velocity vector fields are obtained for the two different input voltage conditions; the voltage 3 and 5 kV at the frequency 10 kHz. The obtained flowfields show that the air is accelerated and its speed increase almost linearly over the covered electrode. The amount of momentum induced by the DBD plasma actuator is estimated from the obtained velocity fields, and the estimated values reasonably agree with the previous experiment.

The objective of this study was to investigate the influence of the blade shape on the impeller performance, for design optimizing of the high airflow impeller. First, the quantity, angle, and length of blades, which are considered to have a large influence on the impeller performance, were selected as design variables. Then, 27 cases of impeller shapes were selected according to the design of experiment (DOE). To predict the conduct of the blower based on the selected impeller shape, flow analysis was performed using the immersed solid method of ANSYS CFX. In the CFD results, the highest airflow was expected in the impeller having a combination of 50 EA, $6^{\circ}$ and 5 mm. Finally, a blower with the original impeller shape and the optimized impeller shape was fabricated using a 3D printer, and the analysis tendency and experimental tendency were verified through experiments.

This study is for a bulletproof experiment through speed acceleration of steel ball(2.385 mm) at the laboratory level. The secondary propulsion method is used for speed acceleration, which uses a sabot assembly consisting of a sabot body, a plunger, water, and a sabot cap. At the core of the secondary drive, it is important that the energy in the water of the private particle is transferred well to the steel ball. The experiment was conducted by selecting a plunger that pushes water and water charged with variables. judging that the longer the contact time, the greater the energy transferred to the steel ball. As a result of experiments with each variable, the amount of water does not affect the speed acceleration efficiency of the steel ball and, when the length of the plunger is increased by 200 %, the speed of the steel ball can be accelerated up to 130 m/s.
