CDIO
The CDIO™ movement, which is changing the face of engineering education, is rapidly gathering momentum.
CDIO™ stands for Conceive, Design, Implement and Operate. A consortium of 23 Universities across the world, led by MIT, are committed to setting their engineering programmes in the CDIO™ context.
Queens University, Belfast and the University of Liverpool are leading the UK and Ireland regional group of members, who meet regularly to share their ideas and experiences of active learning, design and build projects, first year experiences and many other aspects of the CDIO™ standards.
Essentially the collaborators are joining together in a "bottom-up" drive to improve engineering education to complement the efforts of many national bodies such as the Royal Academy of Engineering, the EPC and the Engineering Council which are giving a "top-down" steer.
Any engineering department or school which wants to find out more, or wishes to join in with the activities of the UK&I group is welcome to contact Peter Goodhew.

Conceiving Designing Implementing Operate (CDIO)
[View full description/Comments]
Conceiving Designing Implementing Operate (CDIO) is an innovative educational framework for producing the next generation of engineers. It provides students with an education stressing engineering fundamentals set in the context of Conceiving, Designing, Implementing, Operating real-world systems and products. The CDIO Initiative was developed with input from academics, industry, engineers and students. It is universally adaptable for all engineering schools. CDIO Initiative collaborators throughout the world have adopted CDIO as the framework of their curricular planning and outcome–based...(more)

Creating the CDIO syllabus : a universal template for Engineering education
[View full description/Comments]
This paper was presented on the 32nd ASEE/IEEE Frontiers in Education Conference. It details how a team at MIT identified and codified a set of goals for engineering education which can serve as the basis for curricular improvement and outcome based assessment. The result of two years of scholarship, these goals are embodied in The CDIO Syllabus 'A Statement of Goals for Undergraduate Engineering Education'.

Instructor Resource Modules (IRMs)
[View full description/Comments]
This is the web page of the CDIO Instructor Resource Modules. CDIO (Conceive — Design — Implement — Operate) is an framework for engineering education. To assist faculty in skills teaching skills, the CDIO Initiative created a series of Instructor Resource Modules, each linked to a CDIO Syllabus topic. These teaching activities and resources are not intended to be courses, but to be integrated into existing engineering courses. Course instructors are to pick and choose elements suited to their needs and the needs of their students.

Improving Engineering Education : the ImpEE project
[View full description/Comments]
This is the website of the ImpEE project. The project provides resources for Engineering lecturers wanting to integrate Engineering for Sustainable Development (ESD) into their existing curriculum. The website provides further information about the project and ESD, using the website and ways in which to integrate the resources. Resources can be found by searching a topic list, a subject list, or using a keyword search. Each resource has a reference to the CDIO syllabus.

Using portfolios for exit assessment in engineering programs
[View full description/Comments]
This paper addresses the planning and development of portfolios for assessing students' achievement at the end of their MIT aerospace engineering program. CDIO skills and programme outcomes are also condsidered. It was presented at 32nd ASEE/IEEE Frontiers in Education Conference (November 6-9, 2002, Boston, MA).
