The CDIO™ INITIATIVE
is an innovative educational framework for producing the next generation of engineers.
The framework provides students with an education stressing engineering fundamentals set in the
context of Conceiving — Designing— Implementing — Operating (CDIO) real-world systems and products.
Throughout the world, CDIO Initiative collaborators have adopted CDIO as the framework of their
curricular planning and outcome-based assessment. CDIO collaborators recognize that an engineering
education is acquired over a long period and in a variety of institutions, and that educators in all
parts of this spectrum can learn from practice elsewhere.
The CDIO network therefore welcomes members in a diverse range of institutions ranging from
research-led internationally acclaimed universities to local colleges dedicated to providing
students with their initial grounding in engineering.
