  This study aimed to verify the learning effectiveness of students who took courses in the field of new and renewable energy, which have been operated within a convergence university system. To achieve this, data were collected from 1,228 students who participated in 34 courses jointly developed and conducted by seven universities as part of standard curriculum offerings. The study analyzed learning effectiveness (course satisfaction, transfer motivation, learning transfer, creativity-convergence competency) using Excel 2018 and SPSS 25.0. It also examined inter-university differences in learning effectiveness and identified factors influencing creativity-convergence competency. The main findings are as follows: (a) Course satisfaction (M= 4.20), transfer motivation (M=3.62), learning transfer (M= 4.06), and creativity-convergence competency (M=3.92) were generally high. (b) Analysis of learning effectiveness differences between universities showed no significant differences among universities A, B, C, D, and E. University F was lower compared to other universities, while University G was significantly higher than others. (c) Sex, grade, number of courses taken, course satisfaction, transfer motivation, and learning transfer had effect on creativity-convergence competency. The results of this study provided implications for promoting activities to attract students, expanding transfer opportunities, and ensuring student agency.

  The purpose of this study was to conduct a needs analysis among experts regarding the curriculum in the field of new and renewable energy for the future experts. To achieve this goal, purposive sampling was employed to select 30 experts from the reginal, industrial, academic, and research sectors in the new and renewable energy field, who participated in needs surveys and expert Delphi surveys. Needs assessments for 53 courses and suitability evaluations for 6 curriculums were conducted, and comprehensive advisory opinions were gathered. Data were analyzed using t-tests, Brich’s needs assessment, the locus for focus model, and content analysis methods, with the assistance of MS Office Excel 2018 and SPSS 25.0 software. The key findings include: (a) 18 courses should be given top priority for operation, while 4 courses should be considered secondarily; (b) All 6 curriculums received positive evaluations; (c) Improvements are needed in curriculum development to cater to both generalist and specialist training needs, incorporating the acquisition of new technology and project-based learning experiences. The results of this study provide implications for the development of customized curriculums in the new and renewable energy industry.

  Since the launch of ChatGPT, many college students used it extensively in various ways in their curricular learning activities. This study investigates the utilization of ChatGPT in the curriculum of first and second-year engineering students, aiming to examine its influence from a learner perspective. We explored how ChatGPT is used in each subject and learning activity to understand how learners perceive the use of ChatGPT. From the survey data on engineering college students at E university, we examined students’ perception on ‘shortening time to perform tasks’ through ChatGPT, ‘dependence on ChatGPT’, ‘their contribution to individual capacity building’, and ‘their influence on academic grade’. The majority of students reported extensive use of ChatGPT for learning activities, particularly showing high dependency in liberal arts subjects and coding-related activities. While the use of ChatGPT in liberal arts was seen as not contributing to the enhancement of individual capacity, its use in coding was positively evaluated. Furthermore, the contribution of ChatGPT to the creativity in report writing tasks was highly rated. These findings offer several important implications for the use of AI tools like ChatGPT in engineering education. Firstly, the positive impact of ChatGPT's high usability and individual-capacity enhancement in coding should be expanded to other areas of learning. Secondly, as AI technology progresses, the contribution of AI tools compared to learners is expected to increase, suggesting that students should be encouraged to effectively use AI tools to achieve their learning objectives while maintaining a balanced approach to avoid overreliance on AI.
