The CDIOTM INITIATIVE
The CDIOTM INITIATIVE is an innovative educational framework for producing the next generation of engineers. The framework provides students with an education stressing engineering fundamentals set in the context of Conceiving - Designing - Implementing - Operating (CDIO) real-world systems and products. The CDIO Initiative was developed with input from academics, industry, engineers, and students and was specifically designed as a template that can be adapted and adopted by any university engineering school.
Throughout the world, CDIO Initiative collaborators (participating universities) have adopted CDIO as the framework of their curricular planning and outcome-based assessment. Because CDIO is an open architecture model, it is available to all university engineering programs to adapt to their specific needs.
CDIO collaborators recognize that an engineering education is acquired over a long period and in a variety of institutions, and that educators in all parts of this spectrum can learn from practice elsewhere. The CDIO network therefore welcomes a diverse range of members from research-lead, internationally-acclaimed universities to local colleges dedicated to providing students with their initial grounding in engineering.
