  1. ”Combining Practical and Theoretical Approaches in CDIO-Projects Jørgen Bundgaard Nielsen Engineering College of Aarhus, Denmark CURRICULA & IMPLEMENTATION CDIO Conference, Singapore

  2. CDIO Conference, Singapore

  3. A European definition: • The term Qualification is used to describe professional knowledge and skills typically, but not necessarily solely, acquired through studies. It may be theoretical and/or practical, and will often be documented by diplomas. • The term Competence is used to describe, whether the sum of qualifications, personal qualities, experience and attitudes enables the person to solve a given assignment. Tripartition: • Knowledge • Skills • Competencies: • Making judgements • Communication skills and cooperation • Learning skills CDIO Conference, Singapore

  4. ”Engineering is not a science. Science studies particular events to find general laws. Engineering makes use of these laws to solve particular problems. In this it is more closely related to art or craft; as in art its problems are under defined, there are many solutions, good, bad and indifferent. The art is, by synthesis of ends and means, to arrive at a good solution. This is a creative activity involving imagination, intuition and deliberate choice.” / Ove Arup CDIO Conference, Singapore

  5. Engineering Profiles: • The Consultant • The Designer • The System Builder • The Organizer • The Model Developer • The Communicator • The Salesman • The Producer/Entrepreneur CDIO Conference, Singapore

  6. The term Qualification is used to …. • The term Competence is used to …. Tripartition: • Knowledge • Skills • Competencies: • Making judgements • Communication skills and cooperation • Learning skills Projects & PBL-programs CDIO Conference, Singapore

  7. Investigation into students attitude and approach to Mathematics • Rates of passing first examination in mathematics • Background in terms of marks from high school • Correlation between marks in mathematics in high school and at university • Particularly failing students as representative for the total population • The effect of participation in optional introductory courses • Time elapsed since qualifying examination • Type of qualifying examination • Gender • Possible change over time • Comparison between various methods of examination (projects, oral, written) • Students’ efforts CDIO Conference, Singapore

  9. In the session “Design – implement” experiences it was explained as: “Design –implement experiences are instructional events in which learning occurs through creation of a product process or system” CDIO Conference, Singapore

  10. CDIO Conference, Singapore

  11. A simple example from energy calculations for buildings: Conceive: appreciate the physics of heat transport, loads, differential equations etc. Design: apply the tools to compute a heat transmission in real-world building Implement: analyze with respect to boundary conditions, obtain measurements Operate: forecasts, ready for new productions CDIO Conference, Singapore
