TEACHER AND STUDENT INTENTION AND COMMITMENT IN A CDIO CURRICULUM
7th International CONCEIVE DESIGN IMPLEMENT OPERATE Conference
2011
2011
In 1999 Linkoping University started a collaboration between MIT, Chalmers and
KTH with the aim of developing engineering. This was the start of the CDIO
initiative. In 2002 the first cohort of students in the study program of
Applied
Physics and Electrical Engineering (Y-program) entered into a program designed
to meet the requirements of a CDIO syllabus. A CDIO project course was
introduced the first semester and an elaborated project course delivered in
year
three and a build-design course in year four. In a longitudinal study four
cohorts
of students, starting in 1998, 1999, 2000 and 2002 have been monitored on a
regular basis throughout their studies, in order to see what their expectations
were when they started, their experiences of their studies and their
reflections on
their studies after graduation, in relation to work and employment. This study
had
a focus on student experiences in relation to the intentions of the curriculum
and
the specific CDIO syllabus.
