최근 우리나라 해기교육대학은 제3국 해기사의 국적선 승선, 국제경쟁력의 약화, 3D업종의 취업 및 이공계 기피현상 등과 같은 교육 환경 변화로 인하여 큰 어려움에 직면하고 있는 실정이다. 이러한 교육환경 변화에 능동적으로 대처함으로써 21세기 해양혁명의 시대에 필요한 우수한 해기인력을 양성할 수 있는 효율적인 방안을 모색하기 위하여 한국해양대학교 해사대학 재학생을 대상으로 입학, 학업, 대학생활, 승선실습 및 진로선택의 5개 과정에 대하여 설문조사를 실시하였고, 학생들의 변화된 의식구조 및 학교생활풍토를 파악하여 현 해기교육시스템의 문제점을 도출하고 그 해결 방향을 검토하였다.
