Active learning is not only a key element of CDIO syllabi, but is expected to increase student motivation, commitment and retention. The incorporation of active learning elements into a materials engineering programme is considered by means of three example modules. The implications of introducing these modules into a materials programme is discussed in terms of five Ts – their titles, testing, teamwork, timetabling and the totality of the student experience. This paper was presented at the CDIO Annual Conference, 06-09 June 2005, Kingston, Ontario. They are posted here by permission of the author(s).
