The purpose of this study is to provide basic data for improving the adaptability of college life by examining the effects of individuality and relationship of university freshmen on college life adaptation. The study subjects were 383 freshmen enrolled in a university in Chungbuk C City, and a multiple regression analysis was conducted to examine the factors of impact. The first study found that boys were more individual in genders, depending on the general characteristics. Extroverted students were more relational. In the majors, students in the humanities and social sciences were more related, and students in the natural engineering department were more individual. Second, the lower factors affecting college students' adaptation to college life were found to be autonomous in individuality, and affinity and intimacy in relation. In particular, autonomy has the greatest impact on adaptation to college life, followed by affinity and intimacy. Based on these results, policy suggestions are needed first, it is necessary to balance and balance individuality and relationship. second, it is necessary to create activities and learning environments that you can choose for yourself. third, it is necessary to develop programs to promote affinity and intimacy such as department events and club activities. fourth, emotional and psychological program support through face-to-face contact should be activated to improve individuality and relationship.

The paper addresses an issue of industry-joint engineering education paradigm with the purpose of setting a new standard for engineering education by development and support of competitive curriculum for the interdisciplinary team-based product development, a specialized and innovative engineering education program. In the department of MSDE (Mechanical and System Design Engineering), students are educated via three major courses for targeting engineering design, Creative Engineering Design (freshman), Design Process (Senior), and Creative Product Development (Junior). All these courses are based on personal tool exercises for design software and hardware and team-project group activities of the students with other team members. This paper will briefly discuss the main focuses of these courses and case studies of the teaching results targeting the development of telecommunication device.

Recently, the number of applicants for the engineering college is gradually decreased all over the nation. Additionally, the concerns of fall of freshman scholastic ability are raised due to the incomplete high school education. Moreover, the inferior circumstance and supports drive local universities into a corner. Therefore, the local universities endeavor in order to improve the quality of basic engineering education, and study the countermeasure against the crisis. In this paper, we derive several ideas in order to enhance the basic engineering education qualities. And the enhancement plans for the basic engineering education are proposed. Results in this paper will be helpful for engineering college to enhance the basic engineering education as reference materials.

This study examined changes in the quality of written arguments produced by freshman students in general chemistry laboratory classes using the SWH approach over a semester; difference in the quality of written argument between the original writing template (year I) and the extended writing template (year II); and any difference between Total Argument and Holistic Argument scores. 140 writing samples from 14 students on the year I and 228 samples from 19 students on the year II were collected. Results indicated that despite fluctuations, the students were producing stronger argument by the end of semester compared to the beginning of the semester. Original SWH template group received significantly higher argument scores than extended SWH template group. For the most of year I laboratory investigations, there was no significant difference in the quality of argument between Total Argument and Holistic Argument scores. An implication of this study would be to provide opportunities for students to practice constructing arguments using the original SWH writing template including questions, claims, evidence, and reflection.

Data mining technology is applied to various fields because it is a technique for analyzing vast amount of data and finding useful information. In this paper, we propose a big data analysis method that uses Apriori algorithm, which is a data mining technique, to find the related factors that have negative and positive influences on school adjustment. Among Korea Child and Youth Panel Survey(KCYPS), data related to adjustment to school life and data showing parental inclinations were extracted from the data of fourth grade elementary school students, first year middle school students, and high school freshman students, respectively and we have mapped the useful association rules among them. As a result, the factors affecting school adjustment were different according to the timing of the growth process, we were able to find interesting rules by looking for connections between rules. On the other hand, the factors that positively influenced school adjustment were not significantly different from each other, and overall, they were associated with positive variables.

Ojectives: This study performed to analyze health promotion factors related to subjective stress level among first-year students of university. Methods: To examine the association with subjective stress level and health promotion factors, health survey was conducted with 3,892 students who were first-year students in an university by self-reported questionnaire from February 26 to March 10, 2015 in an university. Multiple regression analysis performed to identify the difference of health promotion factors by subjective stress level. Results: 1,015 students (26.1%) were on high stress level and 2,110 students (54.2%) were in healthy status. The 10.8% of them was obesity group and the 40% was alcohol use disorder group. The 8.2% had experienced depression in the last 1 year. In multiple regression models, it remained significantly the difference of subjective stress level by sex, subjective health status, sleep hours in a day, eating frequency of fruit and vegetable in a day, depression experience and suicidal thought in the last 1 year(p<0.05, p<0.01). On the other hand, it was not significant the difference by age, BMI, alcohol use disorder, eating breakfast, regular exercise and current smoking. Conclusions: To improve health promotion of first-year students of university, it should provide the intensive mental health program to women on campuses.

Many South Korean universities highly value and place much investment on the development of students' characteristics as their core competency, offering corresponding educational initiatives and programs. The present study specifically evaluated the level of characteristic competency among freshmen at C University, in which characteristic development is at the central to the institution's core competency. The researchers conducted the study to utilize the findings to inform the design of liberal arts courses and extracurricular programs. The study recruited 210 freshmen at C University in Changwon, South Korea. To ensure anonymity of the respondents, an online questionnaire was administered during the data collection period (i.e., between December 5th and 7th, 2022) with a total of 201 faithful responses finally analyzed. The results showed an average characteristic competency level of 4.21 out of 5 among the freshman participants. Notably, the highest score was ranked in the 'righteous domain' (4.27±0.66), whereas the 'behavioral domain' scored the lowest (4.08±0.77). These findings provide valuable insights for the development of educational programs that aim to promote characteristic competency among university students. The implications of the findings are further discussed.
