The CDIO™ 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. Throughout the world, CDIO Initiative collaborators have
adopted CDIO as the framework of their curricular planning and
outcome-based assessment. 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 members in a diverse range of institutions
ranging from research-led internationally acclaimed universities to
local colleges dedicated to providing students with their initial
grounding in engineering.
