Design Engineering Group, LG Production engineering Research Center has been developing The Integrated Design Environment enabling engineering design task with ease, speedy and accurate for several years targeting the design departments in LG Electronics. $ezDesign^{(R)}$ System is consisted by Engineering Database Management, Engineering Knowledge Management, 3D Design Application, Design Evaluation Method and Project Management. Engineering Database Management manage the design information effectively. Engineering Knowledge Management takes control of design knowledge from design engineering activity systematically. It is possible for the engineering designer to utilized 3D CAD easily by 3D Design Application. Design Evaluation Method can evaluate several design alternatives synthetically. In Project management System, Designer can simulate the project schedule and cost. In this report, We will introduce how design process can be innovated by way of $ezDesign^{(R)}$ System.

This paper recommends to teach technical writing as a part of the curriculum of engineering design courses. Some features of both engineering design and keystone design course as well as capstone design course for engineering students are studied before the relationship of those features with written communication are investigated. After the characteristics of collaborative writing are reviewed, some aspects of integration of teaching technical writing into engineering design courses are evaluated. Technical writing for engineering students is best taught by collaborative writing approach in engineering design courses.

Commonly it is perceived that it is difficult to teach engineering design and satisfy accreditation criteria in computer science and engineering related majors. However, since engineering design in these disciplines are a product design, it is more adaptable than other majors which are process design oriented. This paper shows that although there are subtle differences with conventional engineering design, engineering design education in computer science and engineering can be effectively done. This paper concentrates on how engineering design related curriculum can be constructed, what should be considered when designing such curriculum, and how engineering design can be taught in individual design courses(excluding introductory and capstone courses) based on case experience.

This paper explores and proposes the evaluation criteria of design projects in the entry-level design course. In the entry-level engineering design course the students proceeds various design projects to understand the concept of engineering design process and to develop the creativity. The evaluation criteria of design projects is very important component because the outcome of students in the engineering design course are effected from the evaluation criteria that enforces the students to focus on doing their task. According to this case study the evaluation criteria can be good solution to evaluate the design projects. By the outcome standard of ABEEK on the entry-level engineering design course the evaluation criteria was selected with the results of design projects such as design plan, report, handicrafts, objectives.

In order to design progressive die many processes are needed and it takes a lot of time to get a final product. In this study, we reduced design processes by using reverse engineering and studied on strip layout design which is the core part of die design. And we got a optimized strip layout design by CimatronE Die Design which is the 3D design program. In this strip layout design we obtained the more effective methode by using reverse engineering.

The purpose of this study is to norm the engineering design competency test. To achieve the purpose of the study, a survey was conducted on engineering college students nationwide using engineering design competency test developed in the precedent study, and a total of 2,859 questionnaires were analyzed. The main results are as follows. First, the national average of engineering design competency scores was 158 out of 240 points. Second, there was no significant difference between genders in engineering design competency by background variables. On the other hand, there was a significant difference by major. It was found that mechanical and construction majors have higher engineering design competency than IT and chemical/material engineering majors. Also, the scores of engineering design competency increased as the grade went up. Third, the number of courses related to engineering design did not affect by engineering design competency, but the actual number of times of experience in engineering design was affected by engineering design competency.

Capstone design education is essential in the engineering design process according to the certification standards of ABEEK. Capstone design process should be properly trained in undergraduate courses in order to increase the design ability of systems, components and processes within realistic constraints. In this study, a modified design model as a capstone design education model was proposed to reduce the separation between the design process at industrial sites and the design process at university education. The modified design model based on 6-sigma methodology is composed of 6 design steps such as define, measure, analyse, design, verify, and report. Each step has appropriated design contents and tools, and is configured to generate design results. The proposed design model was directly applied to the capstone design class for automotive engineering in Kunsan National University, and it was confirmed that the proposed DMADVR methodology was a very useful design education model to enhance the design ability, teamwork ability and communication skills required by ABEEK.

The needs for enhancing creativity in engineering design education continue to increase. Recent studies about a learning environment and learning support tools provide some new possibilities. The education of creative thinking however must begin from the change of attitude of students to creativity. The experimental results and some lessons for modification of systematic engineering design methodology to creative were reported from the course 'engineering design'.

Design factors such as design objects establishment, analysis, synthesis, production, test and evaluation should be educated in a systematic way. Also design ability to reflect practical restrictive conditions such as industrial standards, economic feasibility, environmental impact, aesthetics, safety and reliability, ethical impacts and social impacts should be cultivated. In this paper, we explain the meaning of these terms and propose a systematic engineering design education framework satisfying Korean engineering education accreditation criteria. We also present a simple implementation in information network engineering.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the educational effects of convergence Capstone Design activities. To this end, it analyzed the difference in engineering design competency before and after completing the curriculum in the Capstone Design process, where students from various majors team up, and analyzed the impact of convergence Capstone Design activities on engineering design competency. A survey study was conducted on experimental participants to collect data on individual characteristics and engineering design competency, and to analyze differences by background variable. As a result of analysis according to background variables, the engineering design competency was improved afterwards than before, except for some competency areas.
