Outlines and implementation of the CDIO Syllabus at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering (FME) Andrzej Zieliński, FacultyCoordinator in Materials Engineering Curriculum Sylwia Sobieszczyk, Vice-Dean for Education Wojciech Kiełczyński, Vice-Dean for Organisation of Studies
Staff and capacitiesat FME • 2,240 studentsatEng. Level • 270 studentsatM.Sc. Level • 30 Ph.D. students • 120 teachers • 70 administrativestaff • lecturerooms for 2,000 students • computerlabs for 200 students • laboratoryspace for 500 students
Curricula (educationfields) • Mechanical Engineering and MachinesBuilding • Mechatronics • Mechanical and Medical Engineering • Materials Engineering • Management and Production Engineering • Energetics • Transport • Technologies of Internal Security
Materials Engineering • Teachingperformedjointly by 3 faculties: FME, Chemistry & Technical Physics and Applied MathematicsFacs • FME specialisations: • 1st level „Engineering of Specialty and Biomedical Materials” • 2nd level „Material Technologies” • 3rd level „Materials Engineering (Construction Materials orBiomaterials)

Standard 3: Integrated CurriculumMaterials Engineering at FME: 1st level • Problem of syllabusincompatibility to CDIO: • Complete lack of Personal and Professional Skills and Attributes; Entreprise and Business Context; Leadership and Entrepreneurship; Teamwork • Shortage of Implementing; External, societal, and EnvironmentalContext • Excess of Disciplinary Knowledge and Reasoning
Standard 4: Introduction to Engineering • Studentscancreateproblems • Studentscancreateteams and leaders • Studentscanlook for itspossiblesolutions and look for industrialsponsors • Students design, manufacture, and evaluate • Mainweakpoints: shortage of financialsupport and tooshorttime (solution: enlargement to 12-18 months of projectexecution) • Mainstrongpoints: obligatory team projects, strongself-motivation of students
Standard 5: Design-build-test experiences • A product is developed or improved, from need to physical prototype as a vehicle for learning engineering • Integratedlearning: • Teamworkand communication(team projects from 2010) • Design and manufacturing • Analysis and simulation(already) • Industrialprojects(too small part) • One team projectatEng. Level
Standard 6: CDIO Workspaces • Noneatthis moment • Prototype laboratories: 400 m2 workspace (to be developed from presentWelding Lab) • Study Hall: specialroomatnewNanotechnology Center
Weakpoints • Hermeticnationalstandards : disappearafter 30-09-2011 • Weakpreparation of scholars in mathematics and physics: graduallyinccreasingthanks to increasingdemands(obligatorymath) • Shortages in technicalbasepreparation for team projects: improvementthanks to Europeanprojects
Proposedactions • Modification of Curricula into CDIO Syllabusdirection for Materials Engineering • Implementation of Team Projects for all engineering projects (so far at 80% for Mat Engat FME) • Earlystarts of engineering projects and implementation of all CDIO phases • Creation of CDIO workspaces • Implementation of CDIO Engineers` Development System at the FME
Conclusions • CDIO System isveryvaluable for education of engineersat the GUT and especially FME • CDIO System has a greatchance to be implementedat a number of educationdirectionsat the GUT thanks to positivechanges in Polisheducational law, demands from industrials and students, and a substantialnumber of teachers, and increasingeducationalcapacities • The greatestchallengesincludecreation of new curricula, cooperation with industry in order to findnewvaluableprojects and means for theirfinancing, building the prototypelabs and studyhalls
