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...

Just as the media industry, media technology and interaction design are fast moving areas. Even though grounded in theoretical models, the problems that the students face after graduation are constantly changing and contemporary, which makes a CDIO approach to education important. This paper reports a case study concerning a project spanning two consecutive courses with the main objective to re...
