摘要

通識教育在大學教育中的角色與重要性早已廣被接受，可是「工程通識教育」在大學工程教育中的角色空位卻不盡然。在當今e世代的高度分工與專精化的工程專業環境中，工程師面對系統整合的挑戰之餘，又必須承擔艱鉅的社會責任。如何在工程師的培養過程中導入切合工程專業特質的通識教育，成為當今工程教育的重要課題。本文針對工程通識教育的意義與內涵加以定位，完成了一個工程通識課程的分類架構，並針對大學工程教育界在這方面的實施現況進行調查，作深入的分析與探討。本文所作的觀察與結論，希望有助於各大學院校對工程通識教育的規劃與持續改進。

The role and importance of general education has been widely accepted for a long time; however, the role of engineering general education (EGE) has not been so. Living in an e-era and working in a highly diversified and specialized professional environment, engineers face the challenge of system integration as well as the immense tasks of social responsibilities. Therefore, how to integrate the professional-oriented general education with the traditional engineering professional education has been recognized as an important issue. The paper explores the significance and contents of the EGE, develops a classification framework for EGE, surveys the current implementation of the EGE in universities and technological institutes, and analyzes the results obtained. Observations and conclusions obtained in this paper are helpful for future planning and improvement of the EGE in universities and technological institutes.
