Program classification

The Department of Electronic Engineering has been operating two programs simultaneously, one of which is the Professional Programs for Electronic Engineering, and the other is the General Programs for Electronic Engineering. When a student takes the general program, the student only needs to obtain the credits for the existing bachelor graduation requirements. However, in the case of professional programs, the students shall meet the completion requirements of accreditation education, which have been established separately. In case a student could not meet the completion requirements, the department may put off the student's graduation according to Clause 2, Article 33 of Detailed enforcement regulations of Statutes of Kwangwoon University. And the professional program(Engineering Accreditation Program) of Kwangwoon University is not based on the individual accreditation system, but the program accreditation system(guarantee for meeting the accreditation requirements of all graduates who belong to the program), so that the students who belong to the professional program can graduate only when they meet the completion requirements of accreditation. Accordingly, all the students of Department of Electronics & Communication Engineering must select one of the programs that they want to complete, among general and professional programs, through an interview with academic advisor. However, all the students shall make a final decision after careful consideration right before the start of 1st semester 3rd year(the 5th semester on the basis of entrance).

Introduction of Engineering Accreditation
This topic is about whether the electronic engineering program(hereinafter referred to as 'Program') of the Department of Electronic Engineering of Kwangwoon University(hereinafter referred to as 'Our School') meets the Accreditation Standards of Accreditation Board for Engineering Education of Korea(hereinafter referred to as 'ABEEK'). Our department is training quality electronic engineers with international competitive edge on the bases of the educational goals set up by the College of Electronics & Information Engineering, so that they may survive the rapidly-changing global era of the 21st century, in which the world is getting into the limitless competition caused by globalization and cutting-edge technologies. Accordingly, the department has applied the concept of 'Voluntarily cyclic-type educational model', which is based on the accreditation standard of the ABEEK, to the educational objectives of the department since 2002. And also, the department has set up a procedure and system related to curriculum and assessment of learning achievement in order to achieve the educational goals, so that the department may maximize the practical work ability of currently enrolled students and graduates through continuous operation and improvement of the program. The 'Voluntarily cyclic-type educational model' implies the continuous improvement of educational goals, in which the demands of members are reflected in the establishment of goals, and then the curriculum is created. After implementation of the system, the results are analyzed and evaluated, so that the curriculum may be improved, or the educational objectives may be changed aggressively. And such concepts are presented in the following figure. The 'Voluntarily cyclic-type educational model' has been applied to each evaluation item of the accreditation standard, so that the feedback of evaluation results will bring about important outcomes that lead to the improvement of each element, process and procedure of the program. The educational goals and outcome assessment of the program has been established in consideration of the demands of members, quality of entering students, future aspects of electronic engineering fields, educational conditions and specialization of the program. The curriculum focuses on the achievement of educational objectives and learning goals. So, it is required to establish a system that can implement the curriculum and evaluate the outcome efficiently. Finally, the feedback of analyzed results will contribute to the quality improvement of the program continuously.
