Recently, golf courses have increased over the years because golf became popular leisure sport. Various environmental problems have been then issued by a golf course during constructing and running them. A problem of pesticide, which is serious among various environmental problems, from golf course has harmful effect on surrounding area and makes human suffer from acute and chronic diseases. Pesticides are used for the cost-effective managing of golf course and the amount of pesticides also increases as the number of golf course increase. Since the assessment of pesticides on near-by surrounding has been focused on water and soil media, studies related to atmospheric dispersion have been hardly attempted. The method to assess an impact of pesticide nearby agricultural production by the atmospheric dispersion using AGDISP(AGricultural DISPersal) model was developed and applied to the actual planned golf course located in Hongcheon, Gangwon. For implementing AGDISP, parameters were investigated from the golf course's land use planning map, pesticide spray device, Hong-Cheon weather station and etc. First of all, a kind of pesticide, a form of spraying pesticide, geographical features, weather data, and distance(golf course to plantation) were investigated to understand how to work these parameters in AGDISP. Restricted data(slope angle, droplet size distribution and solar insolation) sensitivity analysis of these parameters to estimate effect of pesticide nearby a plantation and a high relative contribution data of analyzed data was selected for input data. Ethoprophos was chosen as the pesticide used in the golf course and the amounts of pesticide deposition per annual agricultural productions were predicted. The results show that maximum amount of pesticide deposition through atmospheric dispersion was predicted $2.32{\mu}/m^2$ at 96 m where the nearest organic plantation exists. The residues of pesticide were also estimated based on the annul production of the organic and the deposition amount of the pesticide. Consequently, buckwheat, wheat and millet were likely to exceed maximum residue limits for pesticides in foods(MRL) and sorghum, corn and peanut were likely to exceed MRL by organic farming as well.

We have analyzed the result of course evaluation in a department for five semesters. The results of the students' course evaluation varied on individual lecturer, however the average score was improved initially and it was saturated after several semesters. Based on these results, we suggest several effective methods of using the evaluation results. We also suggest to study more in improving the questionnairs of the evaluation format to receive students' positive responses for the better course in the future. As a conclusion, the course evaluation system must be carefully introduced and it should be used only for improving the course itself. When this system is applied to evaluating the capability of lecturers, lecturers would easy their requirements and standards of the education and this causes a lot of problems in the case of the USA.

Collaborative filtering is a method to predict preference items of a user based on the evaluations of items provided by others with similar preferences. Collaborative filtering helps general people make smart decisions in today's information society where information can be easily accumulated and analyzed. We designed, implemented, and evaluated a course recommendation system experimentally. This system can help university students choose courses they prefer to. Firstly, the system needs to collect the course preferences from students and store in a database. Users showing similar preference patterns are considered into similar groups. We use Pearson correlation as a similarity measure. We select K-nearest students to predict the unknown preferences of the student and provide a ranked list of courses based on the course preferences of K-nearest students. We evaluated the accuracy of the recommendation by computing the mean absolute errors of predictions using a survey on the course preferences of students.

Recently, a new education paradigm 'Self-directed Learning' has attracted considerable attention. Problem-Based Learning (PBL) has been recognized as methodology to help students expand scientific thinking and knowledge. improve applicability, develope critical knowledge, and creatively solve problems. There have been significant efforts to develope PBL-based courses in mechanical engineering. A new PBL-based, multi-disciplinary course 'Product Dissection and Design Reasoning' has been developed in this paper. The course examines the way in which products and machines work and is intended to show freshman or sophomore level students how fundamental physical principles relate to engineering practice through hands-on dissection experience : thus, the course emphasizes the importance of knowledge of the fundamental physics for design reasoning. The primary role of this course is to develop creative design manpower. This paper describes the philosophy and content of this course and presents results from one year of development.

In this paper, SQL statements are analyzed to improve database performance in the current course registration system. The performance of the current database was measured through the execution plan of the SQL statements used in the transactions related to the course registration. Through the SQL analysis, the complemented SQL statements confirmed the improved performance. Overall, the performance of the course registration database system was improved through the analysis of the execution plan, and some improvement methods of the course registration SQL were shown as test results. The improved method is to reorganize the tables and index tables related to the course registration through database tuning, and utilize the SQL function to implement an optimized system that has evolved into a course database system with improved performance. The enrollment system re-adjusted by the proposed method showed excellent results in terms of performance compared to the previous enrollment system, and the integrated performance test result reduced the response time by 1.8 to 18 times.

In this paper, course structure and course width were studied among the main performances of the system to derive the required performance of the modulation index, output power, and phase change specifications of the instrument landing system (ILS) localizer power amplifier. To satisfy the course structure's deviation standard (± 5 uA), the difference in depth of modulation (DDM) deviation standard of the carrier with sideband (CSB) amplifier was standardized to ± 1 uA(0.001 DDM). CSB 30 W power amplifier was designed, and through the modulation compensation circuit, sum in depth of modulation (SDM) is 40% ± 0.1% and DDM is ± 0.0005 DDM in the operating output range(45 dBm ~ 35 dBm). In addition, the course width and displacement sensitivity specifications were analyzed through simulation, and the ± 0.1° change applied during comissioning inspection, which is the most stringent standard, was applied. The output variation of the suppressed with sideband only ( SBO) amplifier was ± 2 mW or less, The phase was standardized to within ± 3 ° and the characteristics were satisfied. By applying a compensation circuit according to output power and temperature, stable modulation index, output, and phase characteristics were obtained.
