One
of the processes that supports implementation and adaptation of CDIO is
to commission activities that effect early, reliable, and visible change.
We call these early successes. Following are some examples of
early successes, as suggested by the CDIO collaborators.
Assessment
- Identify
learning objectives for several courses. Consider disciplinary knowledge
as well as personal, interpersonal and system building skills (related
to CDIO Syllabus).

Curriculum
- Start
or modify a first-year engineering course that includes a simple design-build
experience.

- Modify
an existing good course by adding a design experience.
Teaching
and Learning
- Review
the Top 10 List of (students') Recommendations, and discuss the extent
to which they are, or should be, followed by faculty.
