Korea′s Engineering Education Reform Policy and the Direction

This paper contributes to our understanding of the micro-policy experience of an implemented curriculum from the perspective of students, in addition to teachers, as the key coupling agents in the schools of a Chinese global city. Although the phenomenon of decoupling in educational policy is widely recognized, much less attention has been paid to the micro-dynamics involved in implementing education reform policy from the perspective of students and teachers. It is argued that these local actors’ experiences are best captured by the bi-dimensional framework of loose coupling and pedagogic modalities. This argument is illustrated through a case study of the implementation of the Liberal Studies reform under Senior Secondary Curriculum in Hong Kong since 2009. The study demonstrates how students and teachers interpret and make sense of policy, strategic, and practical needs manifested in the microprocesses of policy coupling and decoupling.

The Embedded System

With the continuous development of engineering education accreditation in China, its concept has had a profound impact on the reform of various majors in higher education. Using the idea of engineering education accreditation, this paper discusses the main problems in the implementation of embedded experimental courses of electronic information majors and proposes related education reform programs. Taking the embedded system experiment course of the automation major and embedded system major of Zhengzhou University as examples, the course has carried out research on the aspects of teaching model, experimental course content, scientific assessment method, etc., and proposed corresponding improvement methods to achieve better effect. The practical operation result has proved that the embedded system experiment course of the automation major and embedded system major improved the students’ ability and met the requirements of professional accreditation.

Based on the current of higher engineering education, analyzing the barriers of the development, pointing out the deficiencies of China's higher engineering education in the training mode, afterwards, concluding the higher engineering education reform is imperative. In order to solve the existing problems and response training requirements in higher engineering education, learning from the experience of overseas development, particularly American mode and German mode as example. “a body with two wings” new training model is proposed. Moreover, it can solve the contradiction effectively. The mode can be applied to and will bring practical guiding significance for the development of higher engineering education. It can provide some reference value for higher engineering education reform meanwhile.
