CSFs for Teaching of Standardization: STANDARD!

• School: Management vs. Engineering• Teacher: Academia vs. Practitioners• Administrative support: Financial, infrastructure,

human resources, etc.• Network of disciplines: Unique discipline vs. Case

study of standardization from multiple perspectives • Degree: Undergrad vs. Masters• Association:

– Students: Student’s internship, student conferences– Academia: Regular academic workshop and conferences

• Reality: Class lecture vs. Experiences • Dream: Career path vision for students

4


School: Management vs. Engineering

• Engineering school has more students than business school in average

• Management school students perceive similar disciplines to other courses, whereas engineering students feel fresh subjects

• Possible synergy effects with other MOT (Management of Technology) courses

5


Teacher: Academia vs. Practitioners

• All Korean universities have major instructors from professors

• Some universities have invited practitioners as special guests whom students have appreciated on sharing their experiences

• Combination between academic disciplines and practical experiences are desirable

6


Administrative support: Financial, infrastructure, human resources, etc.

• Standardization is not a major disciplines nor topic in Korea

• Unless professors and students get sufficient support in preparing and offering this subject, class will not get enough roasters

• Supports for teaching materials (e.g., textbook, cases) and for new prep are necessary

7


Network of disciplines: Unique discipline vs. Case study

• Is this subject sufficient enough as independent discipline?

• Which subjects can have this subject as sub-module?

• Isn’t the case-based teaching more appropriate approach to teaching?

• Do we have enough incentives to encourage scholars to develop and publish the cases for classes?

• If not, what kind of systems do we need to develop these incentives?

8


Degree: Undergrad vs. Masters

• Is this course appropriate for undergrad students?

• If yes, what school year students can take this course?

• If case-based approach is more desirable for teaching, is this approach still valid for undergrad students?

9


Association

• For students– Case development contest– Incentives to specialize in this major

(internship, scholarship, degree programs, etc.)• For Faculties

– Academic gatherings (e.g., conferences, seminar, workshops)

– Academic journals specialized in standard and standardization

• In common, who could be the strong sponsors for these events?

10


Reality: Class lecture vs. Experiences

• Students need to experience real practices and observe real operations of standard organizations

• How can we induce students to get involved with real practices for the sake of their experiences with standardization?

• Student participations: – Visiting the standard development organization – Encouraging students to participate in

submitting standard proposals, etc.

11


Dream: Career path vision for students

• What kind of job can students get if they want to specialize their careers in standardization?

• Can they have enough internship opportunities during coursework?

• Do we have enough education and training programs and systems to support their continuous pursuit of this career?

• Can students establish strong vision as life time career in standardization?

12


Conclusions from Korean Experience

• Standard for standard education is needed: STANDARD could be…

• International exchange program for students:– International faculty exchange program– International practitioner exchange program

• Global sponsorship for positive loop for standard education– Research Case development Teaching

materials Lecturer exchange Sharing experiences and new research proposal at annual meetings (conferences)
