INSTRUCTOR RESOURCE MODULES
CDIO (Conceive - Design - Implement - Operate) is an innovative educational framework for producing the next generation of engineers. Universities throughout the world are adopting CDIO as the framework of their engineering educations. (Learn more about CDIO.)

The CDIO Syllabus delineates numerous skills that students must acquire to become the engineering leaders of the future. To assist faculty in teaching these skills, the CDIO Initiaitive has created a series of Instructor Resource Modules, each linked to a CDIO Syllabus topic. These teaching activities and resources aren't intended to be courses unto themselves; they're to be integrated into exisiting engineering courses. We encourage instructors to pick and choose elements suited to their needs and the needs of their students.

Most IRMs include the following components:
  • introduction
  • teaching ideas - brief descriptions of teaching approaches or methods, they may help you generate your own ideas for teaching a topic to your students
  • teaching activities
  • resources
  • examples
