universities, with a focus on liberal education (e.g., engineeringcommunications, engineering ethics and leadership, technology and entrepreneurship) andcapstone design. While the bulk of GECE’s network is domestic, we have wrought some tieswith Pennsylvania State University, Oxford University, and Smith College. We envision that theexpansion of the network to additional universities outside of Korea may be beneficial not onlyto us, but also to our counterparts, as students gain the opportunity to work with peers fromdifferent socio-cultural backgrounds. This presentation will include a short history of the GECE,samples of the center’s recent educational activities, and future outlook, especially regarding thepotential of on-line teaching as a tool

Although it may seem apparent–withthe coupling yearly statistics that about 23% outright majority of the college population major inengineering—that Republic of Korea is on smooth sail with respect to its engineering evolution,there are—due to threats pertaining to changes in industrial structure, culture, economy, politics,education, environment and social structures (and, ultimately, people’s psyche, work-ethics andliving styles)—some alarming early signals pertaining to the numbers, quality and sustainabilitypertaining to its engineering workforce.
