CDIO-CONCEPT FOR ENGINEERING EDUCATION IN MECHATRONICS-PROJECT TEAMS IN ACTIVE AND INTEGRATED LEARNING

Embracing Cdio Developing a Mechatronics Learning Studio

The objective of this paper is to present the evolution of a learning studio that facilitates collaborative problem/project-based learning (PBL) for engineering students using a mechatronics platform. The paper presents a list of major activities that are included in the platform such as lab experiments, student projects, competitions, and outreach programs. The students were encouraged to cons...

Distributed Engineering Education Resource E-learning Network in Medical Mechatronics

⎯ Medical mechantronics (MM) is a newly designed multidisciplinary study program in response to the urgent needs for training engineering students with medical modality development skills in Taiwan. Chang Gung University(Taiwan) offers a master degree program in medical mechatronics. This program is designed to accept engineering and non-engineering degree students with interdisciplinary curric...

Mode Reform of Sensor Courses Teaching in Civil Engineering Based on CDIO Education Concept

Based on education concept of CDIO (Conceive – Design – Implement – Operate) engineering, and combined with the requirements of the educational reform in colleges and universities, aimed at some problems existing in the Sensor course teaching of civil engineering, this paper suggests the reform approach from the prospects of teaching methods, teaching content, teaching environment, curriculum a...

Project-Based Learning in Student Teams in Computer Science Education

Designing information systems according to user requirements is crucial for software developers. In computer science education, acquiring necessary social skills to elicit and define those requirements is underdeveloped. We introduce a studentcentered, project-based learning approach with a student team project, which tries to support these learning processes. Based on existing examples for pro...
