Abstract The article considers the issue of modern engineering training with use CDIO-approach (Conceiving, Designing, Implementing, and Operation) aimed to balance goals practice teaching at higher technical institutions. Modern pedagogical technologies innovative methods enable create such an education medium where students will obtain profound knowledge, manage process designing exploiting n...

Educational model innovating and capability improving of engineering education is the driving source of cultivating engineering talents. Combining with educational ideas and educational cycles of CDIO model, a new educational model is constructed for engineering education. The operating process of the new educational model is demonstrated according to objective conceiving, planning and designin...

This paper describes a quality assurance project, which is conducted within the framework of the Nordic Five Tech Alliance (N5T), a strategic alliance of the five leading technical universities in Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden. The project is concerned with the development of a common quality enhancement tool. The tool is designed for conducting peer evaluations of educational programs en...

A unique approach to the use of the Project Based Learning to transform the curriculum into CDIO curriculum is achieved through the use of carefully selected projects for the Engineering Design modules (which are Project Based by nature) and use these modules as platforms to encourage practical engagement in other concurrently offered modules which are traditionally viewed as theory based modul...

Flight stability and control system design are problematic areas for teaching and learning in most tertiary institutions because of limitations in implementation and operation opportunities. Implementation and operation is a critical element of student learning because of the need for students to understand the relationship between design procedures and decisions, and their consequences in flig...
