  • 오랜 기간 과학사 과학철학은 과학교육 분야에서 다양한 목적을 위해 중요성이 강조되어왔다. 특히 새로운 2015 개정 교육과정에는 '과학사' 교과가 교육과정 내에 별도의 교과목으로 편성되었으므로 학교 교육 상황에서 과학사 과학철학 내용을 다양하게 활용할 수 있는 방안을 모색할 필요가 있다. 본 연구는 문제기반학습 프로그램에서 과학사 과학철학 기반 융합 문제를 해결한 대학생들의 사례를 살펴보았다. 특히 이공계열 학생들과 인문사회계열 학생들의 문제 구조화 과정과 해결 경험의 의미를 비교함으로써 문 이과 통합 교육을 위한 전략을 모색해보았다. 연구참여자는 각각 3명의 이공계열과 인문사회계열 대학생들이며, 이들은 한 학기 동안 대학의 문제기반학습 프로그램에 참여하여 과학사 과학철학 분야의 내용 기반의 융합 문제를 구성하고 해결하는 활동을 했다. 참여자들이 활동하는 동안 작성한 신청서, 계획서, 포스터, 보고서를 살펴보고, 두 차례의 면담을 통해 그들의 사례를 분석했다. 연구결과는 우선 이공계열 학생과 인문사회계열 학생들의 과학사 과학철학에 대한 관점을 파악하고, 이들과 융합할 소재를 선정한 이유와 이후에 융합 문제가 구조화되는 과정에 초점을 두었다. 그리고 과학사 과학철학 내용을 기반으로 자신들이 직접 구성한 융합 문제를 해결해본 경험이 참여자들에게 어떤 의미로 다가왔는지 살펴보았다. 끝으로 본 연구결과를 바탕으로 과학사 과학철학이 과학교육 맥락에서, 그리고 문 이과 통합 교육의 맥락에서 제공하는 몇 가지 시사점을 제시하였다.

  • The drainage problem in bifurcations causes pecuniary losses when hydropower stations are undergoing periodic overhaul. A new design philosophy for Y-typed bifurcations that are flat-bottomed is proposed. The bottoms of all pipe sections are located at the same level, making drainage due to gravity possible and shortening the draining time. All fundamental curves were determined, and contrastive analysis with a crescent-rib reinforced bifurcation in an actual project was conducted. Feasibility demonstrations were researched including structural characteristics based on finite element modeling and hydraulic characteristics based on computational fluid dynamics. The new bifurcation provided a well-balanced shape and reasonable stress state. It did not worsen the flow characteristics, and the head loss was considered acceptable. The proposed Y-typed bifurcation was shown to be suitable for pumped storage power stations.

  • This paper explores the concept and historic context of appropriate technology to provide the academic community with better understanding, insights, current trends, and finally, implications for engineering education. To do that, a rigorous literature survey has been carried out. The result supports that the appropriate technology concept will meet present tasks of engineering education, which calls on policy development and further studies.

  • Data mining and knowledge discovery techniques have shown to be effective in finding hidden underlying rules inside large database in an automated fashion. On the other hand, analyzing, assessing, and applying students' survey data are very important in science and engineering education because of various reasons such as quality improvement, engineering design process, innovative education, etc. Among those surveys, analyzing the students' views on science-technology-society can be helpful to engineering education. Because, although most researches on the philosophy of science have shown that science is one of the most difficult concepts to define precisely, it is still important to have an eye on science, pseudo-science, and scientific misconducts. In this paper, we report the experimental results of applying decision tree induction algorithms for analyzing the questionnaire results of high school students' views on science-technology-society (HS-VOSTS). Empirical results on various settings of decision tree induction on HS-VOSTS results from one South Korean university students indicate that decision tree induction algorithms can be successfully and effectively applied to automated knowledge discovery from students' survey data.

  • 최근 국내에서도 지식경영과 관련한 연구와 실례가 다수 발표되고 있다. 그러나 지식경영의 이론적 배경을 완전히 이해하지 못한다면, 이를 지식창출(Knowledge creation)을 지원하는 경영도구(Managerial application)로 이해하기 보다는 정보를 관리하는 또 다른 방법으로 오인하기 쉽다. 이에 본 논문에서는 지식경영이 최근 주요 경영도구로 회자되고 있는 배경을 당대의 경영환경 및 과학철학(Philosophy of Science)을 중심으로 살펴본다. 이후 데이터(Data) 및 정보(Information)와 비교되는 지식의 특성을 고려하여 이를 창출하거나 이의 흐름(Flow)을 활성화(Facilitating)하기 위한 여러 가지 방안 중 연성정보시스템 방법론(Soft Systems Methodology)을 고찰해 본다. 연성정보시스템 방법이 건설경영(Construction Management)관련 대학교육과 실무에 어떻게 접목될 수 있는지에 관한 논의로 결론을 맺는다.

  • The research in the field of quality engineering has mainly focused on the manufactured products. The philosophy and concept of the existing quality engineering should be equally applicable in the coming e-Business era. However, there would be numerous new quality-related issues in the e-Business environment, due to the fundamental change in the business processes, which did not exist in the past. This paper first proposes a framework for quality engineering research suited for the e-Business environment, and then identifies major quality-related issues that should be resolved in the near future. It also evaluates the potential usefulness and limitations of the existing quality engineering tools in resolving such issues.

  • On the grounds of Diane Vaughan's pioneering study into the Challenger Disaster, STS(Science and Technology Studies) scholars have recently argued that most engineers seldom face an ethical situation, in which the boundary between the ethical and the unethical is absolutely clear, and for which a serious moral decision such as "whistle blowing" is urgently needed. They have instead suggested that engineering ethics needs to address engineers' everyday routine practices, which, if accumulated, may have some impact upon the overall performance of the technological system. However, such studies have not completely resolved the tension between STS that emphasizes contextual elements in which the everyday practice of engineers are done, on the one hand, and engineering ethics that stresses individual engineer's moral decision of an existential kind, on the other. By discussing various works on the Challenger Disaster and related issues over technological risks, this paper attempts to establish an interface between STS and engineering ethics, and proposes some practical implications for the effective education of engineering ethics to engineering students.

  • This study analyzes a language network of Science and Technology Basic Plan, which is the basis for science and technology policy in Korea, for the next Science and Technology Basic Plan. Language network analysis was adopted for a quantitative approach measuring the trend of policies. Several techniques such as keyword analysis, language network map analysis, quantitative characteristics analysis and keyword-related major-word analysis have been performed. Results show that there are common policies emphasized by all Science and Technology Basic Plans in the past, and there are also specific policies emphasized in each period of the Science and Technology Basic Plan. These specific policies come from a 'change of times' when the Science and Technology Basic Plans were established, as well as the philosophy of the national government.

  • Intelligence is thought to be related to interaction rather than a deep but passive thinking. Interactive tangible media "iT_Media" is proposed to explore these issues. Personal robotics is a major area to investigate these ideas. A new design methodology for personal and emotional robotics is proposed. Sciences of the artificial and intelligence have been investigated. A short history of artificial intelligence is presented in terms of logic, heuristic, and mobility; a science of intelligence is presented in terms of imitation and understanding; intelligence issues for robotics and intelligence measures are described. A design methodology for personal robots based on science of emotion is investigated. We investigate three different aspects of design: visceral, behavioral, reflective. We also discuss affect and emotion in robots, robots that sense emotion, robots that induce emotion in people, and implications and ethical issues of emotional robots. Personal robotics for the elderly seems to be a major area in which to explore these ideas.

  • Recent paradigm in technology shifts from object-based technology to environment-based technology. Issue here is interaction among humans and the world around humans, which is natural and artificial "space." Holistic interactions based on "Mom (embodiment)" suggest a good starting point for exploring this issue. Soft engineering, "Mom," holistic interactions, tangible space, ubiquitous computing, science of emotion, and interactive media are key concepts in interactive technology. Interactive tangible media "iT_Media" is proposed to explore and synthesize these ideas. Interactive technology initiative (ITI) is an interdisciplinary research group to search for the proper technology and the proper way of implementing technology: "interactive technology" or "soft engineering." Some experimental activities conducted by ITI are presented in this session, "Interactive Technology."
