Since 1985 the Instituto Superior de Engenharia do Porto (ISEP) offers undergraduate programs in the area of Informatics Engineering. During 2003-2006, the Informatics Engineering Department of ISEP worked on the reformulation of its programs using, as main frameworks, the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) Computing Curricula and the CDIO Initiative.
This document describes how CDIO was important in the reformulation of Informatics Engineering programs at ISEP and how it is being applied since then. The CDIO impacts will be explained and discussed in terms of study plan, program syllabus, curricula organization, program operation and external undergraduate evaluation.
