The CDIO Syllabussyllabus picture
The Syllabus is the cornerstone of CDIO. It offers rational, complete, universal and generalizable goals for undergraduate engineering education. The Syllabus focuses on personal, interpersonal and system building skills, and leaves a placeholder for the disciplinary fundamentals appropriate for any specific field of engineering. It complements and significantly expands on ABET’s criteria. With rationale, detail and broad applicability, the CDIO Syllabus’ principal value is that it can be generalized to serve as a model from which any university’s engineering programs may derive specific learning outcomes. Users would do well to read the CDIO Syllabus Report — the definitive report on the creation of the Syllabus and useful ancillary information (e.g., taxonomy, sample stakeholder survey).

Instructor Resource Modules
IRMs offer resources, teaching suggestions, and assessment tools in self-contained packages for specific CDIO skill areas. IRM users are undergraduate engineering instructors throughout the world. The context of the IRMs is teacher-led instruction integrated into engineering subjects. Format is online, multimedia format, with links to other resources; easily modified, revised, and updated.
