This study deals with how liberal education in engineering could be positioned properly in an era of convergence. Disciplines of Engineering has long been focusing on engineer as a 'technical profession' and the liberal education as an accessory to major study has been left behind. Under this understanding, the topic of 'convergence' in the 21th century engineering is hardly to find its way to the establishment into engineering education. This study suggests a direction for the reform of liberal education in engineering, which is expected to overcome the distinction between professional and non-professional aligned with major education and liberal one. For the reform, introducing and developing contents and methodologies considering convergence would open the door of engineering education to interdisciplinary study and to 'open-profession'. Next, the problem solving model in education will be very effective for learners to define the problem, to utilize various knowledges and to lead to meaningful solution. Lastly, we emphasize the changing context of liberal education and it is necessary to integrate 'technology literacy' into liberal education in relation to major study.

The purpose of this study is to identify factors affecting flow state of the cooperative learning on nursing students live in convergence era. Data was collected a total of six weeks to two nursing freshman class 93 people from April to June 2015. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, pearson's correlation coefficients and factors affecting the flow state was used for the multiple regression with the SPSS/WIN 18.0 program. Flow state of the cooperative learning was correlated with major satisfaction and learning satisfaction. The results of major satisfaction and learning satisfaction were significant predictors with 65.4% of the variance in flow state of the cooperative learning, learning satisfaction was confirmed by the affecting factor the flow state. This presents a basis for teaching method applied to maximize the flow state.

The participants were 380 nurses and nursing students and data were collected from May until June of 2014. The data were collected by means of self reported questionnaires and analyzed using descriptive statistics t-test, one-way ANOVA and Scheffe test with the SPSS/WIN 18.0 program. The result showed that the fear of death of others with nursing students was higher than nurses (t=-3.34, p=.001) and nursing students supported euthanasia more than nurses(t=-3.06, p=.002). Among the death attitude, both of the nurses and the nursing students had the highest score 'fear of their own dying' and the lowest score 'fear of the dying of others'. Regarding attitude to euthanasia, both of them the most important factor was 'the right of the client'.

UCC(User Created Content) is attracted public attention in the era of web2.0 that users create, distribute and consume various kinds of media content through a web platform standing on participation, collaboration and openness. As most discussion about UCC is centered on making benefit using it, it is understood as 'the information commodity' which is appropriated to new media environment. But UCC have to be understood not only as the information commodity but as 'the state of media'. UCC can be classified into two types based on desire for transparency and opaqueness from the media's genealogical point of view which is the logic of 'remediation' that J.Bolter and R.Grusin suggested. In the convergence era that a lot of new media appear, for example IPTV and DMB, this study devise a method of the utilization of UCC from diverse aspects of remediation in the paradigm of convergence.
