In the first hour, we will explore the dimensions of CDIO* and how this idea, framework, and network can support quality development at engineering education institutions.
After the break, we will take a closer look at what it takes continuously improve educational programmes and courses in line with CDIO and developments in society, technology, and our student population. Working with a quick-scanning tool, you will get to know the principles of Curriculum Agility and consider which ones are important to discuss within your context.
