The paper presents the results of a survey performed at the Department of Aerospace Engineering of the Politecnico di Milano among alumni, also with leadership positions in industries and with faculty positions in universities. The survey is performed to evaluate the program so to assess the student skills, and to determine the appropriate levels of student proficiency according to the CDIO Syllabus.
The results have been also used inside the Erasmus Mundus project “DOCET / EQF-CDIO Correspondence model for the recognition and enhancement of engineering degrees” (December 2008 – May 2010), that has built a correspondence model between CDIO syllabus and the new European Qualifications Framework (EQF).
