This study is was conducted for 37 first-year students (including 27 males and 10 females) enrolled in the engineering product design class opened as a regular class in the second semester of 2018 at 'A' University in Seoul to examine creative problem solving experiences in class using design_thinking. In this study, creative problem-solving ability was divided into creative personality and problem-solving ability and in the results of examining the difference in pre- and post-creative problem solving abilities through Hotelling's T-square test and t-test, among the creative personality, the tolerance & passion, humor, curiosity, and progressive attitude were found to significantly increase after class. Next, in the results of examining the process of creative problem solving through the reflection journal, in the empathy and prototyping and testing stages of design thinking, more activities for problem solving appeared, and at the stage of problem definition and idea generation, it can be seen that more activities expressing creative personality appear. The results of this study show that creative problem-solving abilities can be improved through design thinking, suggesting that instructional support for effective design thinking should be designed.

The aim of this paper is to explore the promotion of reading books at the public school. The promotion of reading books at the school is more important and useful for students than the Educational Information Project, which is setting computers and the Internet at the public school. Because watching TV and navigating the internet without reading books is not good for students to exercise creativity and sound personality. To promote reading books at the school, at first schools need to hire librarian-teachers, and build collection at school libraries as explained. And then schools need to conduct campaigns for promoting reading books, such as reading boots for students, reading books for 10 minutes every morning, and book flood program. In addition, the lesson on reading instruction will be helpful.

Computational thinking has been recently highlighted as an essential ability of the 21st Century so that many educational efforts have focused on broadening participation in computing and promoting computational thinking in K-12 settings. This paper describes the impact of creative learning activities with the Scratch on middle school students' computational thinking and creative potential. The learning activities were designed and implemented in 12 sessions with 34 middle school students. The pre and post creative potential assessment results show that students' creative personality and ideational behavior were significantly enhanced. Also, project portfolio analysis shows that students came to understand several computational concepts that are useful in a wide range of programming contexts: sequences, loops, conditionals, events, and operators.

This study started with the need for transition to competency-based education as well as the witness of fast changes in fashion industry's job environment. The goals of this study were (1) to explore fashion designers' competencies that are necessary for a successful careers in global fashion industry, and (2) to establish fashion designer competency model. In-depth individual interviews were conducted with 15 participants who have charged for design department and moreover have shown high performance in national, licence or designer brands in Korea fashion industry. Grounded theory was adopted to analyze data. As a result of analysis, the 4 core competencies emerged: problem-solving, research, inter-personal, and self-development. Each core competency has sub-competencies. Creativity, commerciality, control, decision making were sub-competencies for the problem-solving competency. Information management, innovation understanding & application, trend analysis & forecasting were sub-competencies for the research competency. Consumer, inside company, and outside company relationships were sub-competencies for the inter-personal competency. Self-awareness, self-management, expertise were sub-competencies for the self-development competency. In order to acquire these competencies, knowledge (academic, practical, multi-discipline), skills (sense, analysis, synthesis, communication), and attitude (interest, enjoyment, perseverance, personality) were essential. Based on these findings, implications for university fashion design education and further research areas were suggested.

This research started from the premise that Jacques Perret, "Savoyard gentleman" of the 17th century - whose only legacy consists of Des fortifications et artifices, a book of fortified town designs - is still an elusive figure in the history of architecture and deserves to be further investigated. In particular, attention needs to be paid to the lack of any attempt by scholars to define his actual professional status and cultural background: was he an architect, an engineer, a professional or an amateur? The intention of this paper is therefore to shed some light on this question by examining selected contents of his book describing five projects of fortified towns. Plates and descriptions are carefully analyzed related to the engineering (defensive structures) and architectural (city layouts, buildings) content. The figure that emerges is that of an articulate personality who does not fit either in the architectural or in the military engineering professional world. In the field of engineering, he simultaneously demonstrated the competence of a professional and the na$\ddot{i}$vety of an immature technician, while in the field of architecture he showed an advanced creativity alongside several technical and theoretical misunderstandings. From the analysis in this study, the assumption is formulated that Jacques Perret was a connoisseur, i.e. an erudite without any direct involvement in real professional activity. This work is intended to provide a hypothesis for further researches that, hopefully, will deepen our understanding of several other aspects of Perret's complex identity and work.

The purpose of this study is to explore the core competencies of the Fourth Industrial Revolution in the major newspaper articles of social network analysis and to examine the core competencies required by each field and target. To do this, we reviewed prior research focusing on core competency concepts and core competencies of engineering students, and analyzed 227 articles related to core competencies of the 4th Industrial Revolution, focusing on five major newspapers. Through analysis, we analyzed social network with 118 refined core competency keywords. As a result of the research, it was found that core competencies of the 4th Industrial Revolution are the degree centrality in terms 'creativity', 'problem solving ability', 'convergence ability', 'collaboration ability', 'conductivity', 'software ability', 'human literacy', 'personality' order. Also, as a result of the analysis of the ego centric network by field and target, the required core competencies of university and industry were found to be different. Through these discussions, it is necessary to restructure the core competence of engineering students in order to nurture the engineering talents necessary for the 4th Industrial Revolution.
