Objective: This research was carried out to study the menu type design of instrument cluster IVIS(In Vehicle Information System) for efficient navigation under deconcentrated situations. Background: A driver controls the IVIS menu using the rest of cognitive resources while driving a car. Although a driver controls the IVIS using extra cognition resources, his or her distraction can still cause some safety problems while driving. Menu type design of instrument cluster is absolutely important for safe and efficient navigation. Method: Four menu types including paging, flow, icon, and list type were identified through reviewing the existing IVIS of vehicle and the menu structure of cellular phone. Four menu types were evaluated through experiment. The experiment consisted of primary and secondary task, which the primary task was to simulate a driving and the secondary task was to control an IVIS menu prototype. Task performances, menu type preferences, and eye-movement patterns were measured in this experiment. Results: The result shows that icon type was the best design in aspect of task performance and preference. A clue for next menu item provided a positive effect for efficient menu navigation. It was identified that most of subjects gazed the middle-top area of IVIS screen from eye-movement pattern. Conclusion: A basic design of Instrument Cluster IVIS was proposed considering the result of this study in the final. Application: The results of this study can be effectively used in the design of Instrument Cluster IVIS.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the mechanical and metallurgical education (MME) teachers' job using the Developing a Curriculum (DACUM) methodology. To accomplish the purpose of this study, an MME teachers' job/occupational analysis was conducted in the following steps: "Planning the DACUM workshop," "Recruiting/Constructing the DACUM committee members," "Providing the DACUM orientation," "Holding the DACUM workshop," "Verifying the DACUM result," and "Refining the DACUM chart based on verification data." The DACUM job/occupational analysis was conducted by fifteen DACUM committee members in the DACUM workshop in January, 2015; moreover, the DACUM chart of the MME teachers was verified by the group of subject matter experts. The major findings of the study were as follows. First, this study defined the MME teachers who taught mechanical and metallurgical-related subjects to students with the secondary education teacher certification and performed work related to character education, career guidance, life guidance, and others in a specialized high school, the Meister high school. Second, this study determined 16 duties and 199 tasks for fulfilling the MME teachers' job; moreover, the study extracted the importance, difficulty, and frequency of each task and demand for the entry-level workforce. Third, this study provides the DACUM research chart based on the job/occupational analysis results of the MME teachers.
