A STUDY OF PROJECT-BASED INSTRUCTIONAL SYSTEMS DESIGN ( P-ISD ) MODEL DEVELOPMENT FOR ENGINEERING PRACTICE EDUCATION

(041)560-1113, gwansik@kut.ac.kr) Abstract -The purpose of this study is to provide a P-ISD model to the engineering professors and teachers to improve their theoretical and practical performance on technical and non-technical concepts.. Also, the other purpose is to let them recognize the importance of a P-ISD model as an individual and social transformational agent. Current debates in engineering education are focused on the need for additional social knowledge, skills, and attitudes to cooperate with group members. Education and training of new engineering practice education are major challenges against current and future engineering practice education. So far, most of instructors have thought that students will acquire non-technical skills more or less automatically while performing their projects. Because of this reason, there has been an emphasis on engineering practice education redesign. The needs on new engineering practice education were initiated in vocational and engineering areas to introduce new knowledge, skills, and attitudes. A good way of learning technical and non-technical knowledge, skills, and attitudes could be the introduction of a P-ISD model for project work. The objective of the P-ISD model development will be to provide a guideline constructing the process of teaching and learning to instructor and students. Another objective of the P-ISD model development is that it has been showing good results and so it has also contributed to the performance of engineering practice education.
