Integrating Standardization into Engineering Education: The Case of Forerunner Korea
Choi, Dong Geun; de Vries, Henk J.
International Journal of Technology and Design Education, v23 n4 p1111-1126 Nov 2013
The Republic of Korea is a forerunner in integrating the topic of standardization into engineering education at the academic level. This study investigates developments and evolutions in the planning and operating of the University Education Promotion on Standardization (UEPS) in Korea. This paper examines why the Korean government initiated the UEPS, how the UEPS has operated, and what the educational content of the UEPS program is. This study of the UEPS may serve as a benchmark of how to incorporate technical standards into science and technology education at both the national and individual university levels. Some implications and considerations for the future introduction of similar courses in other countries are discussed.
