초록

As the necessity of writing education is underlined recently, the
existing education has been converted into more subdivided and
professional one according to the characteristics of each major field.
Differentiated from the previous integrated writing system covering
all the areas, writing education specialized for each domain has been
put emphasis on now, and its phenomenon seems to be much more
reinforced thanks to the social demand for capable workers of
practical experience.
In this paper, taking universities for instance whose writing systems
are specialized for each department now, the present state of writing
education of engineering departments was investigated, and the
writing materials and their contents based on the index was also
analyzed. In the result, the writing materials of each university could
be divided into ‘Specialized Writing’and ‘Integrated Writing’in
terms of the pattern of their composition, and when the actual
curriculum was studied, almost all of the universities were found out
to operate the system of integrated writing. Besides, according to the
contents of the curriculum, they were classified into 3 patterns such as
‘Integrated-Topic Composition’, ‘Lecture-Centered Composition’
and ‘Problem-Solving Composition’, but most importantly, it could
be judged that the materials dealing with all the 3 patterns properly be the most effective ones.
On the base of this discussion, a new table of contents for writing of
engineering departments was composed with the contents of a new
curriculum. The integrated pattern was chosen for the curriculum
composition, and since the materials were premised on lectures of 16
weeks for one semester, general writing was provided prior to the
mid-term exam, and specialized writing for engineering departments
was provided after it.
The contents of the curriculum were designated for ‘Topic-
Integrated Type’and ‘Problem-Solving Type’to be applied
according to the characteristics of each chapter. The Part 3 was about
understanding and practice of writings on technical topics, which was
‘Topic-Integrated Type’dealing with writings of exact expressions
through reasonable thoughts. The Part 4 was‘ Problem-Solving Type’
which combined the knowledge on the majors of engineering
departments and writing to create various ways of writing on
technical topics.
As mentioned above, the composition of writing materials for
engineering departments was attempted. It seemed that there would be
many aspects which should be modified and supplemented if an
actual compiling of new writing materials were taken into an action. It
is sure that writing education of a semester-lasting curriculum cannot
improve students’writing ability remarkably. But, the development
of education should be keep going on so that most students in
engineering departments who have prejudice against writing may
approach the field of writing more easily and they may get closer to
the writing education needed for a better social career.
