The CDIO Initiative, whose trademarked name stands for Conceive, Design, Implement, Operate, is an educational framework that grounds engineering fundamentals in the real-world work of conceiving, designing, implementing and operating systems and products. Collaborating universities worldwide have adopted CDIO as the framework for their engineering curricular planning and outcome-based assessment, using active learning tools such as group projects and problem-based learning to build technical knowledge alongside communication and professional skills, and the initiative also provides resources to help instructors at member universities improve their own teaching.

Facts
Core ClaimThe CDIO Initiative holds that engineering education should be organized around the real product lifecycle of conceiving, designing, implementing and operating systems, rather than around engineering fundamentals taught in isolation. 1 Connections
